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 💙

This series always leaves me crying because the way the friendships are represent feel really wholesome to me. Besides, the way the main characters develop to be able to be together is a huge important point for me, and Lyssa Kay Adams just does it the right way in my opinion.

**SPOILER**
SO my main issue with the book was Liv and her victim blaming towards the beginning, she did ultimately tried to fix it but it wasn’t enough in my opinion. Also I didn’t like how most of the book was geared more towards the sexual harassment aspect then the romance. I don’t think it was executed correctly with all the victim blaming, forcing women to come forward, etc. Sexual harassment is such a heavy topic and I don’t think it belonged in this book.
Anyways, This was a cute book if you liked the first one, I’ll definitely read the remaining books in this series because I think their book club is the cutest thing to exist.
P.S We all knew Hop was a softy inside
P.S.S WE GOT A NAME REVEAL FOR THR RUSSIAN!! Mr. Vlad

“Fear is a powerful motivator, but so is love.”
I loved the first Bromance Book Club book, and I decided to read the rest of the series while memories of the characters are still fresh. Add the fact that I really liked Braden Mack's character in the first book, and I've been looking forward to read Undercover Bromance. It's true that Liv wasn't my favorite character in the first book, and I'm still not that big of a fan of her in this sequel, but thanks to Mack and the rest of the characters I still had a brilliant time reading it. I didn't expect this story to be quite so serious, as it has a heavy focus on sexual assault and power imbalance at the workplace. I liked how the topic was incorporated into the plot though, and I was rooting for them as they try to bring the bastard down. The only reason I didn't rate it higher is probably because of Liv; her stubbornness and attitude made it very hard to like her character, and it took way too long for her character to fully redeem herself. I absolutely loved Mack's character though, as well as the rest of the book club members and the new characters incorporated. I literally flew through this story, and I already can't wait to read the next book and learn more about Alexis.
