I love the bromance series and this Christmas story didn't let me down! I hope there's more to come in this series

I adore the Bromance series and a Very, Marry Bromance is one of my favorites. I love the grumpy / sunshine trope and in this book, SHE is the grump. This book may not be the best standalone, so if you haven't already read the other books in the series, you might find some parts of this book confusing. If you love steamy, open door romance, this book is right up your alley! It's sweet, swoony, and steamy!

I've had issues with other installments of this series being very ridiculous and stereotypical in how they depicted the main dudes, but since this one was featuring a character I was curious about I decided to give it another chance and I'm glad I did,

4.5 stars

This was another fun and enjoyable book!! It’s the 5th book in the Bromance Book Club series and I’ve read them all. I just love the banter between the characters which keeps me coming back and wanting to read them all!!

I read this one right after reading Isn’t It Bromantic? and a little bit after Christmas. That’s how wonderful this series is.

Fun, enjoyable and entertaining book that had me smiling for almost the entire time I was reading. Great title and such a sweet ending to a perfect Christmas read.

4.5 STARS! 🌠

I missed the boys from the Bromance Book Club!! Reading Colton and Gretchen's story was like coming home. This was such a cozy, yet equally frustrating reverse, grumpy x sunshine romance with all the Christmas-sy feels!!

"The sunshiny one always falls for the grumpy one, honey. It's science."

Colton is our beloved country singer. He has a one night stand with Gretchen at a Bromance Book Club members' wedding. Colton wants more after that night, but Gretchen leaves him high and dry. Fast-forward a year later, Colton is struggling to find his muse and still hasn't forgotten about Gretchen. So obviously, he will stop at nothing to win her Grinch of a heart over!

I was so giddy to come back and catch-up with the beloved characters of this series. Colton had my heart from book one and he was exactly the perfect cinnamon roll, protective hero I knew he would be. Gretchen had her moments where she needed to find some sense because she was just downright maddening, but it all worked out in the end.

This book was filled with laughs, cozy feels, steamy moments, and lots of family drama. Read it for a good time!

Adam's Bromance series is such a joy to read. I have loved this group of friends so much. A Very Merry Bromance was exactly what I was expecting and such a fun read. Colton and Gretchen worked so well together.

This series is the BEST! I'm so glad Lyssa Kay Adams decided to create this cast of men and women for us to follow on their journeys to finding love. And having a story set during the holidays just made it that much more delightful.

I will always read a bromance book. Adams knows exactly who her audience is and between the inside jokes for romance fans and a great cast of characters, this series delivers.

This was SO cute! I have loved all of the Bromance books, but I think this one was my favorite! Colton was so dreamy and I loved the way he cared for Gretchen. There was also lots of wonderful steam and magical Christmas moments! Such a wonderful book!

Like all the books in the series, this book was an amazing hit as well! I can not be objective about this book because it’s truly one of my favorite series ever, so it is no surprise that I’m also gonna rate this one with 5 stars.

i love a christmas romance as much as the next person. and i also really love this series. i'm not sure if this is going to be the last book in the series but if so, it certainly ended on such a sweet note.

my favorite thing about this series is how the author is able to balance the sweet romance with the steamy scenes AND the more difficult things that the characters are always dealing with. these aren't just people falling in love. these are real, tangible people with real, tangible problems. so they feel incredibly relatable. i also love seeing all of the characters crop up in each other's books.

i honestly kinda hope we get even more in this series in the future. or maybe an extended epilogue where we get to see how all of the couples are doing a few years down the line.

This was another fun installment in the bromance series. I have been waiting for Colton’s book. I was a little disappointed it didn’t focus more on his music career. But still enjoyed being back with these ridiculous characters.

This series just wasn't it for me - I wanted to love this one for the Christmas factor but I Think I'm an outlier. The men didn't feel real TBH, but that's just me. Several friends loved this series!

Though the entire series can't seem to quite replicate the magic of the first book, I still enjoyed this book, and the series as a whole. I'm invested in all the character in finding their happily ever after and appreciate this series can make me laugh out loud whenever the book club members get together to talk sense to the hero of the book. This series may be at an end (?). If so, that's ok, but if not, I'll probably pick up the next one.

Certainly not my favorite in this series. "A Very Merry Bromance" feels underdeveloped. While I appreciate the continued support of meaningful friendships between men, the romance side of the formula is starting to feel played out.

I wish we knew more about Gretchen and Colton as individuals. There was lots of family drama, and overall, the story was quite sad, but I felt like they had no background, and I had no sense of why Colton was so into Gretchen. The pacing related to their relationship development felt off because of this - it felt like they were forced together before they knew anything about each other.

I did love Gretchen's determination in her work, and I appreciated how Colton was always on her side and supporting her.

Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for providing an eARC for review.

Colton is a country singer who needs to find his muse to write his new record. In walks the woman of his dreams Gretchen who wants nothing to do with him. This star has to actually work for her attention and once he has it the Bromance club is going to help him keep it. I love all the romance book trope references and the bromance between this family of guys. Colton and Gretchen shouldn't work, but opposites attract. Plus getting to see past couples has made this Adams book definitely worth the Christmas read.

I am an honorary member of the bromance book club! I love love this series. Colton and Gretchen’s story is sweet and fun! I love that the grumpy sunshine trope was used and so perfectly. You always see a man grumpy and a woman sunshine. In this book. Colton is sunshine and Gretchen is grumpy and it’s just perfect and interesting.
