Lyssa Kay Adams has done it again!! This series is hands down my favorite romance series and I keep wanting more! I’ve been wanting to read Vlad’s story since we first learned about him and it did not disappoint. Elena and Vlad are so perfect together and I’m glad they had their happy ending. Removed 1/2 star because it was *too* slow of a burn for me, and the ending threw me off?? The plot during the last 30 pages felt rushed and unnecessary. BUT— it’s still amazing and I love the Bromance guys!! Can’t wait for Colton’s story next 😍

3.0

What a sweet romance, with such a unique plot. Vlad was such a cartoon in the rest of the series, so it was great to dive deeper into his character here. He really developed into a lovable, multi-faceted guy who was impossible not to root for. Elena, unfortunately, didn't quite do it for me. Her character, motivations, and actions were all over the place, and I really didn't feel like I knew her at all beyond as a plot point. Nevertheless, this was a fun addition to the series, and I loved being back with the Bromance Book Club. The silly parts didn't quite hit home for me (really, The Cheese Man?) but I loved seeing the guys back together again and being awesome. Here's to the Russian!

2.0

This book was pretty lackluster. Though I really liked Vlad, I found Elena to be a little flat. I also found that all of the secondary characters didn't resemble actual people and instead felt like one-dimensional caricatures with repetitive schticks. 

The dialogue between male characters also felt clearly like a woman trying to write idealized, "woke" men. Again, they just didn't talk naturally and so many scenes felt inorganic.  

There were parts that were funny and sweet, but I don't think this book was a winner.

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!
