3.85 AVERAGE


Neizbēgami, ka vismaz viena grāmata četru sērijā garšos pēc otrreiz uzlietas tējas, jo skaidrs, ka autore raksta pēc noliktas shēmas, liekas pat Excel tabulas, jo arī lappušu skaits vismaz abām pirmajām bija identisks. Komponentes jau bija visas pareizās, bet kaut kā šeit bija mazāk īpašo, foršo fīču. Vienkārši labs tipiskais turpinājums, kur par galvenajiem varoņiem top iepriekš pieminētie otrā, trešā plāna tēli.

Nevaru sagaidīt iespēju lasīt pēdējo grāmatu, par hokejistu, draugu vidū sauktu par the Russian. Ņemot vērā, ka šeit tika pieļauta nāvējoša ticamības kļūda - Krievs atzinās, ka nemāk peldēt, gaidu vēl citas, ja nu vienīgi tas būs kā īpaši atrunāts, kāpēc tad profesionāls sportists, pieļauju, ka savas sporta gaitas sācis kādā no Krievijas bēdīgi slavenajām stingrajām sporta skolām kaut kur tālu ziemeļos, tā arī nav iemācījies peldēt. Ne jau tāpēc, ka visas jūras ledos.

4,5/5

I may have already said it in my previous reviews, but... I love these men! The Bromance book club really is my favorite, and these guys are the best. They are adorably weird, and the moments they are all gathered are my favorites.

Alexis and Noah were gorgeous together. Their friendship is incredible!
To be honest, what makes me miss the 5-stars read is the fact that the guys seem to put all the wrongs on the guy sometimes. Seeing all these men saying that men definitely should question themselves in a relationship is good, really. But sometimes it feels like they are saying that men always are at fault, when clearly it is not true.

So yeah, definitely loved this read, and nearly missed the favorite!
Also I so cannot wait to read about the Russian!

What I liked: Andrew Eiden narrating Noah, the character of Noah, cat cafe, Beefcake the cat, when the Bromance Book Club guys were together, The Russian! What I didn't like: Alexis, (2) new to Alexis characters, the 3rd act problem involving Noah. It was probably my 2nd favorite book in this series.

This definitely had some really heavy parts, like the author’s other books, but it does add more realistic-ness to the story. The guy’s friendship is the best and I’m glad it continued in this. I giggled at Mack being such a groomzilla. I didn’t understand why Noah
completely changed the way she looked while she had surgery?? Seems like that would also be a bit of a trauma while you are still loopy

Gosto da série e amo esse tipo de livro, mas não sei se o problema foi eu ou ele, só sei que não tanto quanto os outros.

Até gostei do casal. Noah e Alexis são muito fofos, apesar dos problemas de cada um deles, achei que eles combinaram demais. Foi muito lindo ver eles aos poucos irem se rendendo ao sentimentos e deixando a friendzone, que nunca existiu, para trás.

Também amo que o humor da série continua ali, colocando aquele monte de macho em situações pitorescas, mas de forma tão leve e engraçada. Ainda acho as falas feministas muito icônicas. Mas é engraçado como só por ser um homem falando automaticamente a fala perde um pouco da validade e se torna caricata, né. E eu acho que esse é o objetivo do livro, mas ainda assim é interessante de pontuar.

Agora o que eu não gostei foi todo esse drama com a família dela. Sei lá, tomou tempo de texto demais do casal. E embora traga certa profundidade aos personagens, ainda assim achei bem chato. A vontade era de pular todas as cenas do drama familiar.

Enfim, é divertido, casal com uma boa química, mas nem de longe, para mim, chega aos pés dos dois primeiros.

P.s.: já tem mais dois livros da série, um do Colton e outro do Russo. Quando vai parar, gente? ??
