The love I have for Vlad knows. No. Bounds!!! I never thought I’d care to read a book about Vlad, but tell me why this is the best one so far?! It had me laughing out loud in some parts and tearing up in others. The miscommunication was a little overdone at parts, but it was so freaking beautiful!!

This was such a fun read! I love these guys and I hope there will continue to be more books in this series. Vlad is such a cinnamon roll and I'm so uappy to have read his story to add more depth than just "the Russian"

I’ve liked this one as much as I think the first one in the series, or at least more than the last two because it felt like it was tackling an appropriate level of issues. Vlad and Elena managed to make forced proximity not feel like 2 people refusing to have a conversation and I was happy with all the conflict they created and overcame! It was a perfect read for when I was achy in bed, but could have used another sex scene/more sex earlier. It took a looooong time to get there.

I love every book in this series and this one was no different. It took me a while to get to it, but it was definitely worth it once I was in the right headspace. Adams really knows how to make you swoon and want that love for yourself!

This is my fave out of all the Bromance Book Club series. The Russian (even though the fact that they call him that...anyway) was always such a fun character, so it's nice to see him have a sweet (almost second chance, friends to lovers) story. I could have read more of this.

Really enjoyed this one, in no small part because I am a sucker for childhood friends to lovers and mutual pining. Vlad is a precious sweetheart and I loved Elena being an anxious wreck half the time but still tough as nails when it counts.
Might have been a five star if not for the Cheese Man nonsense and recurring joke about "needing a fix" of speciality cheeses, which just came across as a very unfunny mockery of addiction.
