I love, love, love this series! Like the previous books in this series, this one is so funny, sexy and absolutely cute and romantic. It's witty and makes you laugh out loud because it does highlight the realities of toxic masculinity and how men can be just as romantic, and emotionally expressive as women. Additionally, it throws light on important traumas that people go through. I love this book. These books make reading worthwhile and make it so fun.

I say this every time. My favorite Bromance Book Club book so far!

Alexis and Noah have been friends since Alexis came forward as a victim of celebrity chef Royce Reynolds. But both want something more and aren't willing to admit it to each other. When Alexis has a encounter with a woman in her cafe who claims their sisters her entire world is flipped upside down. Luckily Noah is there to catch her.

I want the next book now, preferably about Colton and Gretchen although I will settle for a book about the Russian!

Another great Bromance book! I love the fully realized characters, and the banter is top-notch. I’m always excited to recommend this series to romance readers at the library!

Liked this, the third book in the series, much better than the second. The story line was much better - less forced to fit a specific theme. The complex emotions that Alexis went through when finding our information on her origin felt real and were well communicated. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the digital ARC,

Well DANG. This book so far passed my expectations I might have loved it more than Bromance Bookclub??? I was a little weary of this book because I wasn't crazy wild about Undercover Bromance but DANG this. book. was. amazing.

Noah and Alexis were two characters that I immediately fell in love with and adored throughout the entire book. I loved their love story and was really pulled in by Alexis and her family drama. Noah and his struggles really touched me and this is one of the only books I've read this year that has made me cry. Bonus points for the great consent in represented in this book.

It lost a little steam for me in the middle but picked it right back up near the end. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

**2.75 stars? Maybe? **

I haven't read either of the previous two books so keep that in mind when reading this review. As a disclaimer for those who also haven't read the previous book, aside from more details about the Bromance Book Club, you do not need to read the others to understand what's going on.

The romance aspect of this book was cute. I feel like the characters went from strictly friends to strictly lovers with very little middle ground. I always enjoy the build up and I really don't think we got that from this book. I did love the two MCs chemistry though and they were so cute and fun together.

However, as people, I'm still trying to decide whether I liked Noah and Alexis or not. Honestly, both of them were pushovers and had almost zero backbone. Alexis basically agreed to the surgery because she seemingly felt obligated. To the point where it felt like she didn't even debate it. She'd never met any of these people before and she was just all, "You want my kindey? Cool where do I sign up for this, stranger?" It was just odd and totally aided in me feeling like she was a pushover. Then you have Noah, who is a grown man still taking crap from his Dad's best friend despite being successful. I kept waiting for him to stand up for himself and that barely happened. I think if only one of them had been a pushover and not both of them it would have been a little easier to swallow, but it was so in your face the whole book that I just couldn't deal.

What saved this book is the secondary characters. I have the first book on my kindle and I really want to read it to see how Mack and Liv came to be. I thought the friendships and all the guys in the book club were hilarious and so supportive of each other. I'm really interested to know about the Russian's story. Hopefully his book will be next. Also, the massage debate was hilarious and made me actually laugh out loud.

Overall, I'm really torn on how to rate this book. On one hand, I mostly enjoyed it, but on the other hand I'm annoyed by certain aspects.

I loved this! Best in the series for sure (and I loved the previous books.) Alexis and Noah's relationship was just so good in every stage and form it took. Honestly my only complaint is that I wanted more Beefcake! (And can I just say, when Noah started defending Beefcake and started drawing parallels to himself- *chef's kiss*)
I think the romance novel part wasn't really as prevalent in this one as with previous books, but the book club itself and its members were still present, which I appreciated. I also loved seeing the guys doing all the wedding errands and planning.

3.5 stars. This wasn’t on par with the first one in the series at all. It could be the trope - friends to lovers is pretty tricky to navigate. The extra drama - secret family, kidney donations, random business rival literally named Karen with no resolution... it was a little busy. The romance novel part of the book seems almost just sprinkled in afterwards to make it related to the series; he didn’t even finish the book by the end of the novel. They didn’t have sex for the first half or more of the book, then the sex they did have was literally like 3 chapters of only sex. It was so much at once, even for someone who loves a good sex scene.

Despite what I didn’t like, there were some heartwarming moments and some funny parts. The bachelor party massage had me laughing out loud. I teared up at a part or two.

It just felt really forced when the men discussed toxic masculinity and what not. It’s something I noticed in book 1 but was able to kind of explain away, but by the third book in the series these conversations should flow much more naturally.

I loved this friends to lovers romance. Once again Lyssa Kay Adams has made me cry by creating characters with real emotional arcs. The character's growth as people and as a couple always felt real and was extremely satisfying. For fans of Jasmine Guillory and Alexa Martin.

I really enjoyed this book and think that as this series continues that the character dynamics get even better. I think this book comes at an interesting time in our society by dealing with how sexual assault survivors deal with their trauma, and ultimately how they heal and move on. Overall that is what makes this book unique from the others in the series, although there are other twists and turns in the story that is what makes the book compelling. I do think this book has the least amount of uncertainty in knowing whether the two characters will get together, honestly it is a given from pretty early on. So as far as tension and obstacles to overcome as a couple this has the least amount of that in the series, but I think that this installment has the characters go through the most individual struggles and overcoming their own obstacles. Overall I look forward to the next book in the series, what will it take for us to get a book about the Russian?

The Bromance Book Club is back and wackier than ever!

Alexis Carlisle, proud owner of ToeBeans Cafe and cat lover, has been slowly healing ever since she came out as a victim of a celebrity chef's sexual abuse and her cafe has quickly become a place for other victims to gather for healing. When she tries to connect with one young woman, however, she's in for a shock: the woman is actually the half-sister Alexis never knew she had... and their father is in desperate need of a kidney.

Former hacktivist, currently straight-and-narrow cybersecurity company owner Noah Logan is hopelessly in love with Alexis, his best friend. But he's terrified that if he tells her about his feelings, their friendship will be ruined. He keeps telling himself he's content with being her friend.... until one emotionally-charged night turns everything upside down and Noah finds himself turning to help from the last place he wants it.

Yep. That's right.

The Bromance Book Club.

This fantastic third book in the Bromance Book Club series brings together Actual Cinnamon Roll Alexis and Slightly Charred But Still Good Cinnamon Roll Noah as they each confront their pasts in order to find their future. They are so totally sweet and supportive of each other, though of course they have things to work out (who doesn't in any kind of relationship, be it friendship or romantic?) and some things get worked out really well on their own. Others... Well. It's not a Bromance Book Club book without a Grand Gesture (and all the running that comes with it!) at the end, now is it?

Other fun things in this book include: Beefcake, the cat who either comes from heaven or hell depending on if you ask Alexis or Noah; Liv and Mack tying the knot; the freaking Bromance Book Club being the Bromance Book Club, reading Romance books in the most Bro, Manly way possible; and, of course, The Russian doing what he does best: being The Russian.

As a friends to lovers romance this book has so much to offer.

Alexis is grappling with family members she never knew she had. And if that wasn’t enough, they are asking for a big favor. She has to see her way through loss, grief, and forgiveness while wanting to move her friendship with Noah to another level.

Noah needs to come to terms with his father’s death which is a key to progressing his deep friendship with Alexis into a love story. That’s where to Bromance Book Club rides in to help. They help Noah realize the difference between being a real man and being a good man.

I love how Adams revisits old members of the book club along with introducing new members.

The feminist ideas spoken by the book club members are so thoughtful and thought provoking and are always spot on.

The scenes where the book club goes to a spa for bachelor party pampering and when they try to help “groomzilla” Mack with his reception seating chart are so endearing.

I have enjoyed reading all the books in The Bromance Book Club series which is full of humor, friendships, and enlightening dialogue.

Thank you NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for the ARC

Perfect. Or should I say "purrfect" ? This was exactly what I hoped for from Adams' third in this series. Delightful, romantic, feminist, breaking down stereotypes and archetypes all in one fun to read novel.

I picked up Crazy Stupid Bromance without having read the first two books in the series, and was able to follow along just fine. I really enjoyed the camaraderie between the heroes and their strong, sincere commitment to feminism and dismantle toxic masculinity. What a fun and clever concept! I felt committed to the romance and the protagonists had just the right amount of flaws to be believable. A fun, light-hearted summer read!

I've loved all of the Bromance Book Club books and this was no exception. Funny and sweet with the right amount of heat.

THIS BOOK. I never anticipated reading this series & loving each book more than the last. Crazy Stupid Bromance is definitely my favorite of the series so far!

The Bromance Book Club is at their best in this story here. All the guys are present & showing their hilarious, heartfelt selves. I died laughing, so many times. Two words: SPA DAY. Hilarious!!!!

The love story between Noah & Alexis is every bit sweet & swoon-worthy. This best friends to lovers scenario is perfect. You already know they’ll be perfect together as romantic partners, but discovering their hearts’ journey together makes it so worth the read!

There was a personal connection I made to Alexis’ story, about her mother, & the grief she carries with her, that hit me really hard. There were a few moments I had to step back & let the words sink in because I truly felt like they were written for me. There’s something magical about a book when it has the power to do that.

I am so pumped for more books in this series & I cannot wait time read the Russian’s story!!!

There are some continuity issues with this draft that I hope are resolved in the final edits, such as Alexis taking off her apron after her office room conversation with Candi. Prior to that, Alexis was attending a yoga session so she wouldn't have been wearing an apron. I appreciate the return to incorporating scenes from the romance novel Noah is reading and the main story line. There was a lot of that in the first book but was sorely missed in the second. The Russian continues to be my favorite character and I'm hoping with the foreshadowing at Mack's wedding, we'll finally see him as the main character in the next novel. While the first book in the series knocked it out of the park, the other books in this series are still enjoyable reads. It's nice to revisit the characters and their fun banter.

A sweet contemporary romance following a new addition to the Bromance Book Club, Noah Logan. Noah and Alexis Carlisle met in the process of exposing a celebrity chef who sexually harassed his employees and became fast friends. When Alexis gets an unexpected visitor and surprise at her cat cafe, she turns to Noah to help her figure out how to handle it all. Noah wants what is best for Alexis, but he also wants her for himself. With the help of his buddies in the Bromance Book Club, Noah learns to understand Alexis; feelings, as well as his own.

In the genre of contemporary romance, there are bountiful tropes and stereotypes, a big part of the appeal in my opinion! This series, however, puts the male spin on it by having the man be the one who doing the leg work and emotional analysis. I have enjoyed this series a lot, and this addition did not disappoint. It's very satisfying to read a fun novel like this with a balance of emotion from both the male and female characters.

Okay, this book was, by far, the best book in this series *so far*. And I say so far, because I REALLY, really hope there's more to this series! I gave Lyssa Kay Adams a chance with Bromance Book Club #1, when I had never even heard of her before, and she definitely did not disappoint and rapidly entered my top 5 favorite authors!

Crazy Stupid Bromance mixes just enough of everything you could think of - book within a book, friends to lovers, a male book club, a strong woman owning her own business, a hacktivist, secrets, lies, cats, desserts, vegetarians, sexual harassment, recovery, sports, tears, and lots and lots of laughs. So, in a nutshell - the whole nine yards. Everything you could ever want in a book.

If you haven't read the first two in this series, DEFINITELY DO, because you will want to read this!

Another fun, sexy installment in the Bromance Book Club series. I literally LOLed during Noah and Beefcake's violent interactions and the scene with the guys going for their first massage....could NOT STOP LAUGHING.
