This book wasn’t my favorite, and I’m nervous to continue this series. Liv’s character was SO frustrating. She wasn’t willing to let anyone in (which makes sense because of her background) but still. Brandon is the most loving and kind man and she didn’t hear him out during the third act break up. That, by the way, was dumb. Terrible. Such a stupid reason to break up with a man. I wouldn’t break up with a man because of that.
It was a frustrating read, but I would still recommend because the friendship the Bromance have with each other is touching and shows what support between men should look like. Hyping each other during a rough break up or hard time in a marriage. To be there and listen. That what I love about this series. Vlad, aka the Russian, is also too funny. He’s probably one of my favorite characters 💙

Loved this book! Full of tropey goodness, lots of humor, wit, and feminism. Plus a rooster with an attitude and a Russian hockey player with digestive issues.

One of my favorite things about this series is how real the problems are between the couples. In this book, both the MCs have dad issues; Liz pushes people away before they can hurt her, which makes her abrasive and causes her to steamroll others. Mack is so scared he'll become his father that he doesn't let anyone see the real him, only the curated version he wants them to see.
I really appreciated the enemies-to-lovers story, especially by giving them a reason to be around each other and some real stakes -- stopping a serial sexual harasser and misogynist. I like that they had limited ideas and resources; it felt realistic instead of a spy thriller or mystery/suspence.
This book was cute, steamy, funny, and emotional; it would make a great summer read/beach read or a quick and fun anytime romance.
