YES YES YES! I keep thinking that there's no way this series can get better and then I read another addition and fall even more in love.

This has got to be one of my top three favorite contemporary romance series of all time. (I'll admit that I'd leave out Undercover Bromance if I had my choice, but aside from that, the whole series is golden). It's witty, laugh-out-loud hilarious, insightful, relevant, and even educational. I think that everyone should give these books a chance at least once because they're so needed!

"The Russian" has been one of my favorite characters from the very first book. His unfortunate stomach issues, his big heart, and his goofiness always made me smile. Getting a chance to read his story made me so happy. It was so meaningful and sweet - just like him. I also really appreciate the way the author approached the fact that he was
a virgin.
I've seen that particular topic brought up in other books, but always in a very negative light. So having a really good conversation around it and normalizing it made me so thankful.

Truthfully, I have nothing but positivity to spread about this novel. It was an excellent part of the Bromance Book Club saga!

This was a good entry in the series. I’m glad that the one character who’s previously been a vehicle for fart jokes gets some depth in this book. I also liked that the third act conflict felt actually meaningful, compared to in other romance novels.

Pleasantly surprised by how much depth Adams was able to give a character who started out as not much more than a caricature/comic relief. The last 20% or so seemed like it was from a different book and fell a bit flat for me, but still an enjoyable read.

I just absolutely adore this series. It was so nice to see Vlad come into his own character after just being the scapegoat/coming relief in the other books. He is the absolute sweetest and biggest teddy bear of a guy.

A lot of the issues between 
Vlad and Elena were just an issue of not talking to each other about their problems which is honestly a super annoying plot point to me. I really loved seeing how they finally started working things out together instead of just holding each other at arm's length and being stubborn.

Also does anybody else wish that every man in their life would read these books? Letting men, and extremely masculine ones at that, being open, vulnerable, and willing to talk about emotions is so helpful and I think it's important for guys to know that's okay! It's normal! 

Anyway I absolutely love this series and if we're lucky enough to get another book, I want it to be Colton's 🤞🏻.
