Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - Undercover Bromance

What a way to level up from the first book! I LOVE IT. The things that bothered me on the first book were toned down and that made the reading much better for me, dialogues were improved, the tone matched the plot, things didn't felt out of place...

Liv and Mack are just great and I love them, as characters, as a couple, as partners, as everything they offered me in this book. It's funny, delightful, heart-warming, and hit in all the right spots. The new characters were such a solid addition (I confess I was afraid to be stuck in the same circle of characters as it seems to be the case in the romance books I've read before). Even the rooster and the hens are a great touch, not even joking here.

And I love Liv. What a woman, Mack is lucky to have her.

This book wasn’t my favorite, and I’m nervous to continue this series. Liv’s character was SO frustrating. She wasn’t willing to let anyone in (which makes sense because of her background) but still. Brandon is the most loving and kind man and she didn’t hear him out during the third act break up. That, by the way, was dumb. Terrible. Such a stupid reason to break up with a man. I wouldn’t break up with a man because of that.

It was a frustrating read, but I would still recommend because the friendship the Bromance have with each other is touching and shows what support between men should look like. Hyping each other during a rough break up or hard time in a marriage. To be there and listen. That what I love about this series. Vlad, aka the Russian, is also too funny. He’s probably one of my favorite characters 💙

I really enjoyed but I feel like the essence of the Bromance Book Club from the original book was missing a little bit, as well as the short excerpts that were included about the romance book the guys would be reading in the club. I did love the different take on a romance novel, since this story was not all about Mack and Liv, but also a huge side plot playing along.

This series always leaves me crying because the way the friendships are represent feel really wholesome to me. Besides, the way the main characters develop to be able to be together is a huge important point for me, and Lyssa Kay Adams just does it the right way in my opinion.

“Fear is a powerful motivator, but so is love.”

I loved the first Bromance Book Club book, and I decided to read the rest of the series while memories of the characters are still fresh. Add the fact that I really liked Braden Mack's character in the first book, and I've been looking forward to read Undercover Bromance. It's true that Liv wasn't my favorite character in the first book, and I'm still not that big of a fan of her in this sequel, but thanks to Mack and the rest of the characters I still had a brilliant time reading it. I didn't expect this story to be quite so serious, as it has a heavy focus on sexual assault and power imbalance at the workplace. I liked how the topic was incorporated into the plot though, and I was rooting for them as they try to bring the bastard down. The only reason I didn't rate it higher is probably because of Liv; her stubbornness and attitude made it very hard to like her character, and it took way too long for her character to fully redeem herself. I absolutely loved Mack's character though, as well as the rest of the book club members and the new characters incorporated. I literally flew through this story, and I already can't wait to read the next book and learn more about Alexis.
