This was a cute addition to the series! I was surprised at how much I enjoyed reading Vlad’s POV. I loved how emotional and supportive he is. I enjoyed Elena too but it took me a bit longer to warm up to her character. I think what bothered me about this book is that everything could’ve been avoided if the two mains had just spoken to each other and had some conversations… besides that, I loved how the romance book aspect was included again! The dynamic of the male friendships is really refreshing to read about. I didn’t love the loners, I understand the need for a harsher character but I found Claud so out of line it wasn’t even funny. I found Elena’s story interesting, but also choppy, it bookended the story. As always, I find the writing style so easy to read in the best way. The story flows quickly and smoothly!

This was my favorite of the series!!! Vlad has always been loveable, but this pushed it over the edge. I loved this book so much!

CWs: mentions of sex trafficking, physical assault
Contemporary romance, by definition, is a genre ruled by predictability. Where others see this as a flaw, I see it as a challenge to both reader and writer. How much can this author make me care about these two people who, by rule, will end up happily ever after? How will they engage me in a conflict that I not only know will resolve, but pretty much know how as well, before I even open the book?
There's no way, after reading dozens of romances, I could be impressed anymore. Charmed? Sure. Swooned? Maybe. Moved and stunned and motivated and affected? No way.
Enter: Lyssa Kay Adams.
The Bromance Book Club series is unquestionably my favorite romance series out there today. A big cast of quirky, hot characters pull you in on page 1 every time. And book 4 was no exception.
Isn't it Bromantic? delivers on every level--a funny, sexy slow burn with what I consider to be the sweetest, hottest, and most infinitely likable male lead in the genre today, Vlad. He's the character none of us knew we needed but now can't live without.
This book quickly became my favorite in the series, but please know the series is best read in order. And if I've sold you enough to start from the beginning, thank me later. You're in for a real treat.

The Russian has been my favorite character of this entire series and I am SO glad he got his own book! I loved that this one was a romance with a touch of mystery dealing with the Russian's wife. I highly recommend this series to any romance reader, they truly are all so good!
