Loved this one! It’s maybe my favorite so far of the series? Not only was I excited to learn more about these characters who I’ve been reading about in the last two books, their storylines ended up being really emotional and beautiful. I was not expecting to cry!!

Just finished reading an e-ARC of Crazy Stupid Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams. I love the Bromance Book Club series & this installment did not disappoint! Reading about Noah working through issues with his Dad? I cried. I hope we get another installment with the Russian as our hero. Pick this book up in October! #crazystupidbromance #NetGalley

Lyssa Kay Adams does it again! I didn't think I was a fan of the "best friends to more" trope, but I was wrong! I loved the romance between Noah and Alexis, but what I really loved ( and the same can be said about all the books in this series) was the cast of side characters. I don't think I can remember another series of books in which I loved the secondary characters as much as I do with the Bromance series. I'm rooting for the Russian to be the next leading man! :)

REVIEW | Crazy Stupid Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams

Alexis, coffee shop owner and Noah, a hacktivist have always been friends. When Alexis has a chance to meet her biological father, she confides in Noah- who desperately wants to reveal his secret love for her- with the help of the bromance book club, of course.

I always thought I was all about enemies to lovers, but lately, I’m SO here for friends to lovers! I’m a massive fan of the Bromance series and thought this was such a great 3rd book! In fact, I think it’s my favourite of all 3😍

Things I loved:
💖I thought Adams portrayed Alexis’ experiences with sexual assault in a respectful, nuanced manner.

💖Beefcake the cat and his interactions with Noah had me cackling. If you loved the chicken in the last book, you’ll die for Beefcake.

💖The banter between the men is always 🙌🏼 I just loved the scenes of Mack being a groomzilla. Also, the feminist dialogue amongst the bro’s was on point in this book! So well done without coming across unnatural and unrealistic!!

💖The Moana scene. If you’ve read, you’ll know!!🤣

💖Alexis and Noah had lovely chemistry. Friends to lovers is always a bit tougher to establish tension and make the reader understand the shift in the relationship, but it was executed so well.

💖I NEED the Russian’s book right now 🙌🏼

All in all, this one was such a delight. It was witty, adorable, and laugh out loud funny! Highly recommend 👏🏼

Thank you kindly to Berkley, Netgalley, and Lyssa Kay Adams for access to this amazing ARC.

This was my first time reading Lyssa Kay Adams, and I wasn't disappointed.

Noah is in love with his best friend. He's trying his best to keep it hidden from Alexis and be a good friend, but their chemistry is ridiculous. It doesn't help that all of their friends (and family) keep asking when they're going to get together. However, Alexis' world has just been rocked (again): a woman shows up at her cat cafe and claims to be her sister. Even more alarming, their shared bio-dad needs a kidney and Alexis is the family's last hope.

This is a good rom-com book with familiar tropes (friends to lovers, hot nerd, etc), and a fun cast of characters. I'm definitely going to go back and read the first two in the series and I eagerly anticipate what I believe will be the next in the series: the Russian and his lady.

I am a big fan of the Bromance Book Club series and absolutely adored this third book. Friends to lovers is such a sweet trope and I knew I would love it, but I was blown away by just how amazing it was. These books just get better and better each time.

Noah and Alexis are best friends. She owns a cat cafe and he runs a computer security business. Both of them secretly want more than friendship, but they're terrified to make that step and ruin their friendship. Everything gets thrown for a loop when a customer reveals that she's Alexis's sister. While Noah tries to help her navigate this new development, he has no one how to take the step from friends to more. Cue the bromance book club: they step in to help Noah finally admit his feelings.
In the words of 'The Russian': "This is grand gesture! We always run for grand gesture!"

I cannot get over how much I love these books. I love the overall concept of a group of men deciding to read romance novels to improve their relationships, while tackling sexist stereotypes, and confronting their internalized misogyny and toxic masculinity. Just that alone is amazing. The support that these characters have for each other is beautiful. An ensemble cast is one of my favourite characteristics, as there is so much space for banter and chaos, but also space for a complex and full support system.
Noah and Alexis's friendship, even before they get together, is so strong and built on similar interests and a deep personal connection. Their humour is amazing and I love how they are constantly looking out for each other. Their support for each other is a given. The spark is there from the start and when they both finally realize that, it's amazing.
Also, I love that Noah and Alexis have to face some of their inner demons on their own. I think that's an important thing to demonstrate in romance novels. Having a relationship doesn't automatically erase all the bad things in your life, and the fact that they both had to confront their demons outside of the relationship was great.
I also adore Beefcake and his murderous ways.

Overall, this book was amazing. I laughed and I cried. It was a full emotional roller-coaster. I hope there are plans for more books in this series because I will read them forever.

SO amazing, I love this series so so much and this third installment definitely did not disappoint. Would highly recommend!

Let me say up front, I really enjoyed this book. It made me laugh - none of those men are like any men I know. Unfortunately. It made me cry with sadness & joy. It reminded my of my experience as a kidney donor. What I found most difficult to believe was the existing friendship between Noah & Alexi. Whether that's because such a close, non-sexual, relationship doesn't exist or whether I've just never seen or been part of one, I don't know, but it did keep distracting me. Noah was wonderful, though, completely supportive of Alexi & considerate of how her past might be affecting her present. Alexi was almost too perfect, empathetic to everyone, including the rude business owner across the street who kept insulting Alexi & trying to shut down her coffee shop. But even with these quibbles, I think this is my favourite of the Bromance series.

A friends-to-lovers romance made irresistible for witty dialogue and evolved masculinity. Less emphasis on the book club element than previous titles in the series and a new Beefcake that steals the spotlight.

I laughed, I cheered and I bawled my face off with Noah & Alexis’ story. This series is just SO GOOD!!! Between Noah’s growth, Alexis’ discovery of her father (and her backbone!), the dealing with the Karen (who is perfectly named thankyouverymuch), and the delightful cat, I could not envision a more perfect story. Even The Russian was there in all of his glory!!
Thank you Ms Adams! This is one of my favorite series! You deal with these characters so respectfully and candidly.

This book wasn't quiiiiite as great as the others in this series. The story spends more time focusing on the heroine and her family issues; the relationship and the hero's development take a decided back seat.

As a general contemporary romance, it is a good addition to general collection-- it can be read alone apart from the series and has a good relationship. For fans who are invested in the book club, it's a little lacking.

I absolutely LOVED the Bromance Book Club and so, for me, this was an easy one to jump into and binge read! It did not disappoint one little bit! I loved getting to know Noah and Alexis and found their companionship/friendship so endearing that you couldn't help but cheer for them along the way! The ONLY thing that felt a little unbelievable was Noah's job...and for me, that wasn't a deal breaker. Go ahead and dive into this cute friendship-to-romance story complete with all the characters that you know and love from the first two in the series!

There is no slump happening in this series. Crazy, Stupid Bromance did not disappoint and may in fact, be my favorite so far. I loved Noah and Alexis's friends to lovers romance. Both of their struggles with loss and grief are so relatable and real. Nothing beats a good romance with fun and humor and steam that you've been rooting for. While you don't have to read these books as a series, you really should. They layer so well and you get so much more of the characters when read in order.

I love a friends-to-lovers book. If anyone has read the other books in the series, well Crazy Stupid Bromance, although funny at times especially with Beefcake, the cat, and the guys from the Bromance Book Club, especially the Russian, this book was more emotional that the other two books in the series for sure.

If anyone has read the other two, well for me, I was always intrigued about Noah and his hacker ways and of course Alexis's story. Noah's background and backstory was an eye opener for sure. Alexis's story and what ensues in the book was equally interesting and yet so emotional. I mean even Noah's story regarding how and the why he became a hacker was interesting.

I definitely think a lot readers will enjoy this installment.

*An ARC was provided via Net Galley for an honest review*

This book is all the feels.

Alexis is the owner of a cafe. She has had hardships in her life, losing her mom to cancer, being assaulted by a man in charge and taking him down with the help of Liv (book 2), now she has survivors stopping by her cafe needing and wanting to talk. For the past week, she has had the same girl in her shop and finally, she thinks she is going to open up and this girl drops a bomb and says they are sisters. Not only sisters, but they share a dad and this dad needs a kidney transplant asap.

Noah and Alexis have been best friends for the past year. He helped Alexis takedown Royce and now his feelings have gotten more personal than just friends. Enter the Bromance Book Club, to help save the day to turn their relationship to more than friends, but Noah doesn't quite believe them it will work.

I think the thing that I appreciate most about this series is the willingly emotionally vulnerable men that are featured as heroes. The third installation of this series does not disappoint! And is a master class in consent. I can only hope that there will be more stories in this universe to come!

Yayy!!! My favorite bookish charming wolf pack is back! They are back in town with another funny, swoon, sweet, entertaining journey!
What we have in our menu:

Noah: A nerd, emotional, smart, caring, lovable hero we may easily empathize with.

Finally good hearted, sexual assault survivor sweet, likable heroine Alexis( my main problem about the first two books was my unbearable urge to punch the annoying heroines against their faces and punish them for acting like obnoxious brats and treating those lovely heroes unfairly ! I visualized throwing rotten eggs to second book’s irritating heroine Liv’s face who is unfortunately the best friend of Alexis)

A vengeful terrifying man-eater cat named Beefcake who is soul twin of the hissing cat at the Pet Sematary. Poor Noah and Russian have been punished by his vicious attacks.

Sweetest friends to lovers theme ( I think Noah and Alexis were adorable couple from the beginning and thankfully they didn’t disappoint me at the angst parts of the book.)

Lots of resentments, daddy issues.

So much enjoyable parts with boys who were choreographing a special dance for Mack and Liv’s wedding and having first massage experiments! ( when Russian wore three sizes smaller rob, wrapping up a towel around his head and telling them he’s smelling like flowers, I just dropped my iPad from my hands and laughed at least ten minutes till my stomach hurt! )

Did I tell you there were so many laugh out loud, enjoyable Russian moments at this book! And yes, at some parts he stole the show! He definitely earned his own book and after reading the dramatic ending about his part of the story, I feel like we’re so close to get it. (Colton and Gretchen are also new candidates of the next sequel but I’m crossing my fingers firmly to get the Russian sequel i have been waiting for so long🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻)

Overall: I loved how both Noah and Alexis handled their family issues and learned forgiveness. I adored both of the characters and their intense, loyal bounding. And it was lovely to spend more time with my all time favorite book boyfriends. I think I loved this book more than the previous ones so I’m giving 4.5 stars and rounding them up to 5! I had incredible time and I’m looking forward to read the fourth book of the series sooner.

So much thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for sharing this adorable ARC with me in exchange my honest review.

Thank you to Berkley Pub and NetGalley for a gifted copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

This one doesn't come out for a few months but I couldn't wait to read it. The Bromance Book Club was my favorite rom com of 2019 but I didn't love Undercover Bromance so I was worried I wouldn't like this one. Well, fear not, this one is AMAZING! Friends to Lovers is definitely one of my favorite tropes and Noah and Alexis may be one of my favorite book couples ever. Their relationship/friendship feels so genuine, I was rooting for them from the get-go. Also, the book club magic is alive and well in this one! I was missing the magic in Undercover Bromance since Mack was too busy being the lead but he's back to being the love expert and there are so many laugh out loud moments with the boys in this book . Lyssa Kay Adams is insanely clever and witty - besides laughing, there are so many parts where I was nodding my head and silently screaming YES! I don't want to spoil anything but I just love how she celebrates women and flips the stereotypes in gender roles when it comes to romance/relationships.

I couldn't put it down and binged it in 2 sittings. Can't wait to buy a copy once it's out!

Best of the series so far, IMO. Adams somehow weaves together plot threads including absent parents, organ donation, and sexual harassment and gives them all their due without letting the book become completely weighed down or depressing. Two charming leads and a good cast of supporting characters. A very good read for fans of friends-to-lovers modern romances.

Lyssa Kay Adams does it again!
We get reacquainted with Noah and Alexis from Undercover Bromance. Noah is your typical hipster with a dark and angry past but has tried to make up for it as an adult. Alexis faced Royce Preston and his sexual harassment and has helped fellow survivors through her café. Noah and Alexis have been inseparable since first meeting, but that is expected when you become best friends. Don’t they say the best relationships come from friendship?? Crazy, Stupid, Bromance is a rollercoaster of emotions that will leave you laughing out loud (when was that last I did that when reading), crying, and cheering for the relationship. If you’re a fan of the Bromance Bookclub novels, you will not be disappointed.
