4.02 AVERAGE


I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A Very Merry Bromance is a sunshine and grump romance between Colton, country music's golden boy, and Gretchen, a grumpy immigration attorney. Colton and Gretchen had a one-night stand a year ago and now their paths cross again as Gretchen approaches Colton with a business proposal for her family's business. In exchange for considering the proposal, Gretchen must go on three dates with Colton before Christmas. Colton is determined to make Gretchen enjoy Christmas.

Lyssa Kay Adams never disappoints me. I always enjoy her books and this delightful holiday romance is no exception. Colton and Gretchen had such good chemistry together. Colton was the perfect foil for Gretchen. I also really enjoyed the family drama on Gretchen's side. It was very toxic, but also extremely entertaining to read. The climax was not my favourite, but overall, I really enjoyed the story and especially the romance.

As expected, the bros lived up to my expectations. Their scenes always make me laugh out loud. I'm really hoping the Cheese Man gets his own story LOL.

was mid, thought it would be more fun and exciting but found myself being bored while reading

I’m a sucker for a well-written book with a happily-ever-after, and if it’s part of a series even better.

Readable but not great. I didn't really understand Gretchen. Also I'm kind of over books with famous people so...yeah.

A wonderful book!! I want more of this series so bad. I adore this audio narrator so much. Despite this being a Christmas novel it doesn’t feel dysphoric to read in February. I loved the clear references to a Christmas Carol, without being a direct retelling. Wonderful read. Even better series.

I absolutely love this series!! This giant lovable family of amazing characters!! I loved how Colton had to chase Gretchen. I loved how he kept pursuing her. I loved how Colton got Gretchen gave her a book to read. And how she fell in love with the book. How Colton loved Christmas. Loved all the friends the growing families. What made me sad was Gretchen’s family. I hated how they treated her. Her entire life. Her brother Evan made me very frustrated. I’m happy with how Evan got what he deserved.

4,0⭐ Un buen libro. Creo que es de los pocos libros de los cuales me gusta el reverse grumpy - sunshine, lo cual no pasa muy seguida. Siempre me encanta ver la dinámica de los chicos juntos. Estuvo divertido y fue un buen cierre para la serie.
