“Then he started to move. Hard thrusts that pounded her harder against the door which made her intimate muscles start to pulse again like the rockets red glare. Mack covered her mouth with his to smother the sounds of her bombs bursting in air.” What on god’s green earth?..

This bookclub is the best and I’m glad I finally got to the sequel. I enjoyed how this book low key examined the “expectations vs reality” trope that I love from 500 Days of Summer. This is done by Mack having to come to terms with maybe all the romance books he’s been reading aren't exactly one-size-fits-all manuals. That just because you spend $1,000 on a cupcake for a woman, she’s not going to immediately appreciate the financial life choice in that decision.
These books are predictable, but in a sweet and low stakes way. Sometimes you just need a break from thrillers and memoirs and escape into a group of friends trying to help each other be their best for themselves and those around them.
I didn’t intend to pair two Nashville books back to back with the enemies to lovers trope. Guess it takes people in Nashville a minute to warm up to each other.

Well this was disappointing!!
I really enjoyed first book and thought this is going to be even better then that one because of Mack.
Him and boys book club are best part of book, but main problem is Liv.
Enemies to lovers is popular trope but there has to be reason for "enemies" part, enemies for enemies sake falls flat just like chemistry and romance between them.
Also this book is missing " book reading" aspects that first one had, still I'm interested in Noah's book.

This was the Spring book for Romanceopoly 2020.
Pack: Sun
Square: Spring
Challenge: Read a book where it: Has a green or yellow cover; Has flowers on the cover; Has the word 'Spring' in the title; Where the hero heroine is a gardener or farmer; Or all of/any combination/any one of the above.
Is it possible to love a sequel more than the original? That's how I feel about this book. I fell in love with Mack during The Bromance Book Club, but I was pretty neutral about Liv. However, Adams was able to make me love Liv within the first two chapters. I totally love the dynamics between both Mack and Liv. I want to read more stories with them. Highly recommend this book.

I liked this one even better than the first! It deals with some really heavy and triggering topics though, but I think it was well handled.

Really enjoyed this one! There were parts that had me laughing out loud, which is rare for me. According to my kids, I don’t have a sense of humor, take that as you may.
