A Very Merry Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams
5.0

What a joy this series has been! Each book has been fun, charming, and heartfelt, and this one was no exception. I loved the Christmas setting, the cameos of all the Bromance Book Club bros, and the swoony romance.

A Very Merry Bromance tells the story of Colton and Gretchen. Colton has been part of the Bromance Book Club for a couple of books now and he has such a funny, sunshiny personality. He is a country music superstar who is smitten with our heroine, Gretchen, from the start. Gretchen is a immigration lawyer who is estranged from her horrible family. She is quite the grump at the beginning of this book, and she really doesn't want to be interested in Colton. Will a little Christmas cheer, along with some meddling friends, help these two figure out their happily ever after?

This book was a heart punch of a story. All of the BBC books have had a bit of depth to them, but this one really goes to some hard places. Colton was a wonderful hero, and while he was the book's sunshine, he still had some issues to work through. Gretchen was put through the wringer in this book. She came across a bit self-righteous at first, but after getting to know her character more, my heart ached for her as she dealt with her awful family. I loved Colton and Gretchen together and thought they balanced each other well. Of course, the guys from the BBC are amazing. I love how they get to the heart of issues with lots of fun banter along the way.

I will continue to enthusiastically read whatever Lyssa Kay Adams writes. Up next is a historical based on the first Bromance Book Club book, and I'm excited to see how that turns out.
