Thank you to NetGalley, Berkley, & Penguin Publishing Group for the opportunity to read and review this book before it's publication date! This in no way affected my review, opinions are my own.

Okay, so I was lukewarm to love on the first book, LOVE THIS on the second book, and we're back to lukewarm (with even less love) on this installment in the Bromance series. *sigh*

I never really got a feel for either of the MCs, and I didn't really buy into their romance. I had a tough time with some of the forgiveness subplot, and I really didn't like the family that just popped up out of nowhere demanding organs.

Ultimately, this isn't my favorite in the series and I wasn't sure about continuing, but ALAS the next book is about The Russian and DANGIT even if I don't love everything in every book, there's still so much to like!!

(Also important to note that for some, this was their favorite of the three, so who knows if you should even listen to me here!)

Having read the series, this one is my favorite so far. Having a group of men who are learning to love their partners is such a different idea for romance novels. I am excited to see how this series continues to grow. Enjoy this if you like hockey player romance.

I'm almost six months late on this; OOPS. And I read it back in October! It was my favorite of the trilogy so far; because Noah was just the sweetest.

I thought it was adorable! And using romance novels to dismantle toxic masculinity is such a great idea. I didn't care that I hadn't read the other two because I felt like I could keep up easily.. I'll read the other two and the next one for sure!

I inhaled this book in a day. I love the humor, the banter and the men as bumble their way through another round of relationship problems. I really enjoy the development and growth that we see as the series continues. Lyssa Kay Adams just writes such great charracters and their dialogue never fails to draw me in.

I enjoyed that this one was a friends to lovers trope and you could tell from the beginning that there was something between Alexis and Noah, I just wanted to see how it would all play out. I think my own husband might learn a few things if he had a Bromance Book Club in his life.

I have really enjoyed this series so much and can’t wait for the next book to come out.

These books are so much fun to read. I love the Bromance Book Club. The idea that a group of manly men gather to read romance books to help them with their relationships is fun and hilarious. These men have all used the info that they have learned from romance novels to help them better communicate with their significant others. Poor Noah has been in love with Alexis since they met. She is recovering from a horrific trauma and he doesn’t want to push her while she is not ready. All Alexis wants is to no be afraid anymore. Noah is a bright spot in her life and she begins to develop feelings for him other than friendship. These two have to fight for what they want and decide is it worth risking their friendship. Noah’s friends try to help him with their book club. These guys are hilarious! Such a refreshing spin having the men read romance. Here’s to hoping that there are some Bromance Book Clubs out there.

Another fun installment of this amazingly good series!

The romance this time is between Alexis and Noah. Totally swoonworthy and sweet. Everything we have come to expect from the men of the bookclub. All the laugh out loud moments and witty banter.

I loved Alexis and Noah's journey from friends to lovers. They have great chemisty and Alexis is by far my favorite heroine of the series so far.

This whole series is absolutely LOL incredible. If you’re looking for a delightfully rom-com with heart, look no further!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my copy of Crazy Stupid Bromance. All opinions are my own.

I really love this series and it's a go-to recommendation for any patron wanting a good rom-com. I will admit, I feel like the first book was definitely the best in the series, the rest of the series doesn't disappoint. This is an adorable romance with tons of humor but also real-life wrapped inside.

It starts off slow and kind of dense, but once the action begins, it's hard to resist the story as it drives forward. It reads as a true epic, one that makes you feel the world really has been reshaped as you read it. Would recommend.

Another adorable continuation of this series. I like how each of the group is going through their own types of issues but that they all work together to solve them.

Third title in the series, features a subplot about organ donation and long lost family. A romance novel.

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for providing a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to my best friend Samantha for introducing me to the Bromance Book Club! Who doesn’t love this rowdy group of guys?! Here in book three, we get to see the friends to lovers trope in action between Noah and Alexis. What I love most about these books is that there is always a side story. Alexis has never had any interest in tracking down her long-lost biological father, but she finds out that her kidney might be the only genetic match to save his life, her world turns upside down. Full of banter, heartbreak, and friendship, this book is a sure winner.

* Currently counting down the days until the release of book four, Isn’t It Bromantic? *

I'm so far behind on reading and reviewing that honestly I'm kind of ashamed of myself. I've been meaning to get to this book for months and I'm very happy that I finally did because it really was a great read. Noah and Alexis had been introduced to us in the previous book in this series and I was really interested in both of them as characters. Both Noah and Alexis had been through some serious trauma in their lives and I was really interested to see how the author would address it and their love story while still incorporating her trade mark humor. I have to say she did a great job of it. As always I enjoyed the characters in the Bromance Book Club and I really enjoyed the interactions with Beefcake the cat. I thought she handled the very sensitive topic of Alexis's past and how she built a community for fellow survivors in a great way. Above everything I really enjoyed the romance between Noah and Alexis. I'm a sucker for a good friends to lovers story because I 100% believe that friendship is the best basis for a relationship. I loved how they both really cared about each other and how they actually talked to each other both before and after the relationship became romantic. Overall it was a really well written story and I'm definitely looking forward to reading about the Russian next.

I really liked this book. It was interesting to see the story work itself out. Also, I'm over the jokey Russian. I hope that in his book his true self is brought out from underneath all the fart jokes.

I think I need a trigger warning for death of a family member in books. They constantly just make me sob, and that is not a good time.

Love this series and this book did not disappoint. The characters were fun and the dialogue was witty. I highly recommend this one as well as the previous books.

Alexis and Noah made a great couple but this was not my favorite book of the series.
The tried and true formula of Adams series felt more forced this go around.

The *bromance* aspect really grated on me this time for some reason. I usually love the witty banter of the guys but they just sounded like judgmental, lecturing jerks spouting phrases and poking their noses where it didn't belong. That aspect normally feels so organic to the story but didn't this time.

There's also a lot going on in this story even though it touches on a lot of important topics.

Another gem with my favorite bromance boys. I adore everything about this series. This one just might be my favorite so far. I'm such a sucker for friends first stories. I knew this would be a total "Kim book" from the minute I saw the cover. It practically screamed out my name. Noah and Alexis were adorable and I thoroughly enjoyed the family dynamics presented by the discovery of Alexis' sister and everything that came with that. This one gave me plenty of feels and I loved it all.

Alexis Carlisle has shot to fame after she came forward as a victim of a celebrity chef’s sexual harassment. When a new customer approaches to confide in her, the last thing Alexis expects is for the woman to claim they’re sisters. Unsure what to do, Alexis turns to the only man she trusts—her best friend, Noah Logan. Computer genius Noah left his rebellious teenage hacker past behind to become a computer security expert. Now he only uses his old skills for the right cause. But Noah’s got a secret: He’s madly in love with Alexis. When she asks for his help, he wonders if the timing will ever be right to confess his crush. Noah’s pals in The Bromance Book Club are more than willing to share their beloved “manuals” to help him go from bud to boyfriend. But he must decide if telling the truth is worth risking the best friendship he’s ever had. review: This is the third book in The Bromance Book Club series and this friends-to-lovers trope doesn’t disappoint! I love that in each book we have gotten to know each character on a deeper level. The author does a great job of really building and developing the characters well in her books and I quickly became fond of Alexis and Noah because they felt so genuine! I have really enjoyed this series so far because I love the unique premise (a bookclub for guys who read romance novels!) and love how she continues to flip the switch on gender roles & stereotypes. If you want a romance book that has some substance, this is the series for you! rating: 4.5 out of 5 ⭐️
