Another great bromance read from Lyssa Kay Adams. She has created such an endearing crew of men that you want to have around in your own life. The romance was so sweet and endearing.

Loved, loved, loved it!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
By far the best of the series!

Welcome to book three of the Bromance series. A successful group of men (including professional athletes and singers to name a few) get together at their own book club to read and discuss romance novels. (Quite a twist from your normal man-cave, right?) The ultimate goal being to keep their relationships with their wives/girlfriends strong and healthy.

The primary focus of this latest addition is on Noah and Alexis. These two have been wallowing in the “friend zone” for over a year. Can the Bromance book club help Noah to break out and claim the woman he loves? Does Alexis feel the same way too? Or is she content with her best friend remaining just that?

This book has everything you could possibly want in your rom-com. A tender love story combined with plenty of humor. Lyssa Kay Adams achieved the perfect balance with both.

Without a doubt this was one of my favorite reads this year and I can’t wait for this author's next release. Who will the Bromance Book Club men be helping in the pursuit of true love next?

A weekend rom-com buddy read with a Susanne that we both just loved.

Thank you to Berkley Publishing via Netgalley for an ARC to read and review

This is the third in a series and it is so delightful. The Bromance Book Club is comprised of athletes, businessmen, and other high powered men of Nashville (woo!). They read romance novels and usually end up recruiting a newbie to help his love life. The latest addition, Noah, is in love with his best friend, Alexis. But he is nervous after they have developed such a solid friendship and she’s been through a lot in the past year. With more coming- she just found out her dad- who she never knew- needs a kidney transplant…and she’s a match. These two’s love is really sweet because they already know each other so well, they just don’t know how to take the next really scary, hard, vulnerable, next step. This one might be my favorite yet.

Crazy Stupid Bromance is everything you want in a romantic comedy and more. Steamy romance, feminist messages, lovable characters, and a bonus--this one contains a possibly-evil cat named Beefcake who will make you laugh out loud. The scene in the spa alone is worth the entire book because it is so delightfully funny. What I especially loved about this book compared to the first two in this series was its complex and satisfying side plot. It's not just a deeply satisfying love story, but it also explores themes of grief, family, the meaning of friendship, standing up for what's right, and learning to accept and honor your emotions. Even more impressive is that it does all of these important tasks without sacrificing an ounce of fun or need to keep turning pages. I sat and read this book all in one sitting, as I have with each of its predecessors. Each installment of Lyssa Kay Adams' Bromance Book Club series is more masterfully written than the last. I would read 100 more books in this series!

*Review scheduled to post October 22nd!**

DEVOURED THIS.

Ahhhh, another good installment y’all. I love how the Bromance Book Club combines laugh out loud moments with critically important topics as well.

Hello, way super smitten with Noah here. Once again, anther love interest that I adore. Such a tough guy with an absolutely soft soul. I adored his dynamic with Alexis and trying to make sure he was the best he could be for her, and being what she needed when she needed it. Add in the *helpfulness* of his friends and its a recipe for some mistakes, and beautiful growth moments.

I only struggled with one decision. And I can’t speak to it because it would be a major spoiler, but I’m curious what others will think. I understood the affect it was meant to have on the reader, I just don’t know if it was necessary? I DON’T KNOW. I’m conflicted. The theme of forgiveness was huge in this and I think that’s why it’s swayed me to being more okay with it the longer I’ve thought about it. Either way you look at it, it was a tough choice.

Alexis was a strong main character. Her bravery to face down the Karen’s and finding her power again was stunning. I was hoping to see her grasp that SHE mattered too, and I really saw those changes by the end. Love some character growth from both Alexis and Noah. Put them together was fireworks. They were a match. No other way to look at it.

Overall audience notes:

Contemporary romance
Language: strong and frequent
Romance: kisses / heated make-outs; a handful of open-door scenes
Trigger warnings: remembering sexual assaults, loss of a parent, grief

Let’s hear it for the Best Bromance Book of the Bunch: “Crazy Stupid Bromance!”

This novel is filled with hysterical laughter, friendship, love and lots of swoonworthy moments sure to make you smile. What makes “Crazy Stupid Bromance” better than its predecessors “The Bromance Book Club” and “Undercover Bromance” is that it feels like real life and is a book you can totally immerse yourself in.

Here we have Alexis Carlisle, owner of the ToeBeans cafe whose life has taken quite the turn since we last saw her in “Undercover Bromance” and gorgeous, geeky Noah who Alexis met as a result of that time in her life. The best of friends, these two exchange witty banter every single day.

When that spark finally ignites, all bets are off!

The chemistry between these two is OFF the FREAKING CHARTS much to the dismay of Alexis’ cat Beefcake who loves torturing Noah (which admittedly made the cat lover in me laugh quite wickedly!). Way to go Beefcake!

Then there is The Bromance Book Club! Baaawaaahh!!! Thank you for making my day guys! Cue the Laughter and the Tears which literally STREAMED down my Face! You guys Frakking Rock!

What more can I say?! This Bromance book will make even doubters hope and believe. For this is what it’s all about in my opinion: A friendship that turns into romance.

An absolutely fabulous buddy read with Ms. Kaceey! Thank you for sharing in the laughter Kaceey.

A huge thank you to Elisha at Berkley Publishing Group, NetGalley and Lyssa Kay Adams for making me laugh and smile at a time when I need to look towards the light.

Published on Goodreads on 8.2.20.

Thank you so much NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC!!!

It was so good, i just love this series and the characters that have been created !! Reading this book feels like coming home, it gives you that warm fuzzy feelings that everyone is looking for when they read romances. Both Alexis and Noah have heavy baggage that they are dealing with on top of their feelings for each other!!!

I really really love Noah , he is the boy next door that has a heart of gold and just is truly a nice guy !!!!! And of course his interactions with the men from the Bromance Book Club is just priceless!!! These books would not be complete with the guys, and I true think they will forever be my favourite part of the book and the series !

I really hope there is more to this series!!!! I don’t want to leave these amazing characters !!!! So fingers crossed there is another book to come!!!!

This is my favourite book in the series so far. For two reasons: these two main characters appealed to me the most, and friends to lovers is my favourite trope, and it was so well done here. It was amazing to see them very carefully going from best friends to lovers. I loved their relationship so much.

One downside is that I think this book maybe took on a few too many sideplots. I think it would have been even better had there been more of a focus on only two or three things.

CWs: discussions of sexual assault, discussions of death of civilians because of military operations, kidney transplant/organ donation/surgery/hospital, past death of a parent/grief, sex

I was such a huge fan of the first book in this series, and fell completely in love with the bromance book club. I can’t say I felt the same way about the second book in the series. Thankfully this one is more like the first, and I adored it!

I laughed so hard, especially at Beefcake the cat. I literally had tears coming out at one point I was laughing so hard.

This was everything I love in a rom com: hilarity, witty banter, characters I was invested in, a great gaggle of minor characters woven throughout the series, and a plot that tugs at your heartstrings.

I can’t wait to see how this series continues to evolve. Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for my complimentary digital copy of this one!

These books are like candy!!! I devour them in one sitting!!! I really loved how the author handled the sexual abuse that was in this book (from a previous book). I loved Noah and his relationship hang ups felt real and likable!! Might have been my favorite of the 3... and can Beefcake get his own book?!?

Both lead characters are likable people with agency. Alexis Carlisle runs a cat cafe as a safe spot for women to bond and form friendships and help each other. She owns a personable Maine Coon cat named Beefcake; Beefcake was my favorite character in the book. Noah Logan runs a computer security and has a past as a white hat hacker; he has been a supportive friend to Alexis for years while also secretly in love with her. Alexis asks him for help when a visitor to her cafe claims to be her sister and begs for her help with their ill father. At that point what I thought was going to be a light romance goes full out with heavy emotional themes and medical drama as the main characters complete their journey from friends to lovers.

Full disclosure, I DNF this book due to inclusion of the sort of medical drama storylines that I prefer to avoid. However, if you love that sort of thing, this might be the book for you. I requested the book because I had heard buzz about the Bromance Book Club series and I loved the cover - guy cuddling cat while reading and pastel palette that seemed to promise light-hearted fun times.

This is the third book in the Bromance Book Club series and boy, it did not disappoint!! I finished this book in under 6 hours, I couldn't put it down! I laughed, I cried, I did everything in between. This was so well written and may honestly be my new favorite of the series! This book is friends to lovers excellence. The slowburn, the longing, it was so well done!

Lets talk about the characters. Noah Logan was a great male character. I thought he treated Alexis so well from the beginning. All he wanted was for her to be happy. He is also the nerdy guy of my dreams. Alexis is such a wonderful human. She has been through so much throughout her life and she handles everything she does so well. She also has this cat named Beefcake who I am so in love with. I thought they worked so well together.

This book also gives you great looks into what the previous characters are up to. You get glimpses into Gavin, Thea, Liv, and Mack's lives. You also begin to get a more proper introduction to The Russian. He is probably my favorite character and had me laughing the entire time. I am seriously looking forward to the next book about him!

Overall, this book is a highly recommended one! I will be purchasing a physical copy for myself when it is released!

Huge thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for the Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for an honest review!

This third installment of the Bromance Book Club series is as enjoyable as its previous series-mates. Tackling the “friends to lovers'' trope with humor and sensitivity to the well developed character’s backstories, this was a very fun read. While some of the trope application was trite (the terrible woman is “Karen,” surprise sister with dying long-lost father, etc.) the overall book feels like an entirely plausible modern love story. Being friends in a close-knit group removes some of the Insta-Love/Lust that usually requires a certain suspension of disbelief while reading romance books. Some favorites from previous books appear as supporting characters and I am already excited for the next book in this series (Please let it be “The Russian”...please, please, please?!?!)

A cute romance. Steamier than I usually read but enjoyed it enough. The cover is terrible. The first two in the series are cute; this one is just plain awful.

I have really been enjoying the Bromance Book Club books - there are inevitably a few scenes where various members of the Club school the newest member on what romance novels are, what they mean to their readers, and why the traditional straight romances are important resources for straight men wanting to learn about straight women that are hilarious and fantastical.

Rom Com lovers rejoice! Crazy Stupid Bromance is the perfect blend of witty banter, laugh out loud dude antics and depth. Hot IT nerd & hactivist Noah and cafe owner & cat-lover Alexis have found themselves in the friend zone ever since Alexis outed a celebrity chef for sexual harassment and Noah decided to show her nothing but platonic support and respect. When a mysterious customer divulges a life changing secret to Alexis, she naturally turns to Noah for help. Noah wonders if there will ever be the right time to share his biggest secret with Alexis: he's madly in love with her. Noah's friends in the Bromance Book Club are more than happy to help Noah navigate his swoon-worthy dilemma!

This was a wonderful third book in a series. I loved Noah and Alexis. The friends to lovers trope is one of my favorites and this did not disappoint. While I was reading, I could feel the tension between them and just couldn't wait for them to finally be together. I just love how supportive Noah was. And when Alexis blamed him for leaking the articles- I was so mad! NOOOO, he wouldn't do that to you.

One of the things I will always love about series is getting to reconnect with characters from past books. So getting to see Gavin, Thea, Mack, and Liv again made me so happy!

Very funny, engaging characters, and the ones from previous books in the series are integrated in ways where they are still well-rounded and interesting. The romance is realistic although some of the backstory of the characters didn't seem to fit together quite as well as in the other books in the series. The highlight of the book continues to be the meta-narrative on romance as a genre, insightful and enjoyable. A great addition to a new and excellent series.

Another enjoyable addition to the Bromance series.

Alexis and Noah are the best of friends, have been for over a year and a half. They text each other daily, hang out all the time, and know they can count on each other for support whenever needed. So, when a young woman appears in Alexis’ café one day claiming to be her half-sister, the first person Alexis turns to is Noah.

Noah is immediately suspicious, especially because the sister’s sudden appearance is linked to the father Alexis never knew and his need for a kidney. He knows Alexis has a big heart – too big, in his opinion. But he would do anything for her. Because, Noah is actually in love with his best friend.

When he sees signs that perhaps she might be interested in something more, he (kicking & screaming) agrees to join the Bromance Book Club in order to figure out how to go from best friends to lovers. Only, his reluctance to actually do the homework leads to misunderstandings that create a rift rather than bringing them closer together.

One of the elements that I like a lot about this series is how the author uses the book club to a tool to analyze various elements and themes within the romance genre. This one was particularly good because it dealt with feelings of abandonment and the process of forgiveness as a healing mechanism. (Seriously, I rarely cry over books, and this one had me tearing up.)

Based on a brief mention near the end of this story, I have a feeling the next installment will focus on Colton and Gretchen. I just hope we also get to meet the Russian’s wife and find out what is happening with their situation.

I've laughed through all the serious topics this series has covered, but I was not expecting to cry! Gah! Adams hit all my emotional triggers. But before I was crying, I was laughing at the guys, their banter, and the way the come together to save one of their own. I fell head over heels in love with Noah and Alexis. I am so sad that I have to (hopefully) wait for another book in this series, but I can't wait to see whose love life the guys get to save next.
