A Very Merry Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams
3.0

CW: familial abuse, blackmail, physical abuse
Tropes: grumpy/sunshine, horrible rich family, FMC hates Christmas and MMC loves Christmas
Spice: 2/5
Overall: 3.5/5

Yeah. This was definitely my least favorite of the series. Nothing against it; it was a cute holiday grumpy x sunshine romance with the typical Respecting Women Juice-drinking Bromance Book Clubs bros.

Colton is a joy to listen to/read about. I genuinely don’t even care about his career. In fact, the story makes that fact almost entirely irrelevant, in my opinion. But he’s a sweetie with a huge heart and he has obviously been head over heels in love with Gretchen since they hooked up at the wedding.

Gretchen is cool, too. She’s a super accomplished immigration attorney who’s pretty much estranged from her super rich family that owns a whiskey empire. Her brother was always an abusive asshole and her parents were too afraid of a scandal to ever do anything about it. As such, she is super jaded and thinks the horribleness of her family is only dragging down Colton!

I just wanna say: GRETCHEN YOU LITERALLY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF THESE ASSHOLES! GO BE HAPPY AND BE WITH COLTON! And then, in typical Bromance Book Club fashion, they get engaged and have Christmas sex! Yay HEA!
