A Very Merry Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams
4.0

What I read: A Very Merry Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams

Why I picked it up: I found this series through a Goodreads giveaway a few years ago and now delight in the new book each year – and finally a Christmas one!

How I read it: On paper in an afternoon and evening staying up way too late – but I finished at 11:59 pm, so a book I read in one day.

What it’s about: Colton and Gretchen met at a friend’s wedding, but before he could make plans for what comes next, she ran away. Now her brother wants him to be the face of their family’s company and she’s the only one he’ll entertain an offer from. In exchange for the privilege being able to pitch him, he wants her to go on dates with him.

What I liked: Colton’s the only one who saw her family for what they were – abusive. And yet, she was the one who kept going back because she thought she was in the wrong.

What I disliked: Her brother was the worst – and that her parents didn’t do anything to stop him was awful!

Genre: Christmas, family abuse, immigration, open door romance.

Rating & Recommendation: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and yes – the others in the series aren’t necessary before this one, but you’ll get a lot more of the backstory – and as the boys say “backstory is everything.”
