Thank you Berkley and NetGalley for providing an arc for an honest review

I love this series so much! I truly cannot describe the amount of joy I get when I read a Bromance Book Club book. There isn't as much Bromance Book Clubbing in this book as previous ones but it definitely works since Colton has been a part of the book club for a while and the dynamic of the group isn't so much about the book club anymore but the fact that they are all family. There is a great grumpy x sunshine relationship with the FMC, Gretchen is the grumpy one and the MMC, Colton is the sunshiny one. you. Mix that with a second chance romance, forced proximity, and Holiday Joy and you have  A Very Merry Bromance. 

As usual the guys are amazing and their group dynamic brings me so much joy. Their love and support for each other and the way they are there in a drop of a (Santa) hat. Which brings me to the most important thing about this book. Vlad in a Santa suit! This man needs to be protected at all costs! I just love him so much! 

Aside from the guys, the relationship between Colton and Gretchen is great. Both of their character arcs are amazing and brought me to tears at times. I felt for Gretchen and her struggle to accept love and for Colton who is trying to show her that she is deserving of love despite her past and how she grew up. As usual there are important topics addressed and moments where as a reader I was humbled. That's part of why I love this series so much. It makes you feel all the feels and also makes you consider things you may not have thought of before. 

Do yourself a favor and pick up A Very Merry Bromance this holiday season.
