Characters weren't suited for each other. The heroine was too uptight, except when physically with the hero. Not אמין
This was my second Bromance book, and I loved it! I went into it with tempered expectations because I had issues with the first one, but this one delivered across the board for me.
I loved the dynamic of Colton and Gretchen’s relationship—him being the sunshine to her grinchy demeanor. Sometimes with this trope, I’m not entirely sold on nice, happy people being attracted to, well, grumps; I’m just along for the ride. But the way Colton dealt with her grumpiness worked so well. It was funny (you could tell it was his kink), and they had some really great banter.
The guys were awesome (I had no doubts they wouldn’t be). I loved how they broke down romance tropes to give Colton advice on how to deal with Gretchen—big shoutout to Malcolm

I think this might be my least favorite in the series, but overall it was still worth a 5-star review. For me, Vlad's book was just unbelievable so any story that followed that was going to have a high bar to reach.
I do like that this book delves into politics with Gretchen's job as a lawyer focusing on immigration law. Just like the other books in this series, I laughed a lot. The Book Club is seriously the best. Seeing high profile men have such a strong bond and love for each other and openly expressing it is something you don't see represented in art often and I am so here for it.
The action really picks up in the second half of the book and getting there was like trudging through mud for me, but I'm glad I did. I wish it didn't take so long to get interesting, but overall still enjoyed it and the series overall has been one of the best I've read.
