gggina13 's review for:
Crazy Stupid Bromance
by Lyssa Kay Adams
Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for access to an early copy!
3.5 stars. This wasn’t on par with the first one in the series at all. It could be the trope - friends to lovers is pretty tricky to navigate. The extra drama - secret family, kidney donations, random business rival literally named Karen with no resolution... it was a little busy. The romance novel part of the book seems almost just sprinkled in afterwards to make it related to the series; he didn’t even finish the book by the end of the novel. They didn’t have sex for the first half or more of the book, then the sex they did have was literally like 3 chapters of only sex. It was so much at once, even for someone who loves a good sex scene.
Despite what I didn’t like, there were some heartwarming moments and some funny parts. The bachelor party massage had me laughing out loud. I teared up at a part or two.
It just felt really forced when the men discussed toxic masculinity and what not. It’s something I noticed in book 1 but was able to kind of explain away, but by the third book in the series these conversations should flow much more naturally.
