Book Review / The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams

 

The first rule of book club: You don't talk about book club.

Nashville Legends second baseman Gavin Scott's marriage is in major league trouble. He’s recently discovered a humiliating secret: his wife Thea has always faked the Big O. When he loses his cool at the revelation, it’s the final straw on their already strained relationship. Thea asks for a divorce, and Gavin realizes he’s let his pride and fear get the better of him.

Welcome to the Bromance Book Club.

Distraught and desperate, Gavin finds help from an unlikely source: a secret romance book club made up of Nashville's top alpha men. With the help of their current read, a steamy Regency titled Courting the Countess, the guys coach Gavin on saving his marriage. But it'll take a lot more than flowery words and grand gestures for this hapless Romeo to find his inner hero and win back the trust of his wife.

MY REVIEW

What I liked about this story...

Now this was a really fun story to read.  I had seen this about a lot back when it first came out in 2019 and had always meant to get around to it and never had until now.  I wanted to pick up something that looked fun (I was right!) but something that wasn't being hyped right now.  What I liked the most was the fact that the main character, and a lot of the supporting characters, were male.  I am sure that there are lots of stories like this but I have usually picked up stories like this where there's always a female as the main character.  Being a woman, I can't comment on whether it was an acurate portrayal of men and how they think but it seemed pretty real to me.  I liked the fact that it felt like there was a genuine men's friend group helping each other, or having fun.  

What I wasn't fond of with this story...

Honestly, there wasn't anything specific that I didn't like about this story but it was one of those books that I had fun with, but don't feel the 'pull' to pick up the other books in this series.  That's not to say that I didn't enjoy the writing and would pick up something else by this author but maybe not in this series.

Would I recommend this...

Yes, this was so much fun to read and is a great 'beach' read, or at any time of year you feel like it!
