Dude!
The Bromance Book Club is everything you have heard it is – fun, sexy, heartwarming and addictive. I didn’t want to put this book down! This is Rom-Com done right! A book from the male perspective!
Sometimes love isn’t enough. Especially when you find out your wife has been faking the big “O” and you flip out which gets you kicked out, so you walk out, and decide you want back in, but she is not having that. Whew! What’s a guy to do? Turns out Gavin’s friends know exactly what to do as they come together and suggest a book club of sorts where they read romance novels to learn how to keep love alive and in in Gavin’s case, how to win back his wife. As this group of guys give him advice, Gavin attempts to save his marriage to Thea.
I wasn’t a big fan of Liv, Thea’s sister who I felt was annoying and went out of her way to be rude to Gavin. I didn’t see her reactions as being justified and when she told him she lived there in the house he paid for and she was being a jerk – I was thinking “show her the door”. Seriously, I hope she gets her head out of her you-know-what in the next book. She did soften up at the end but has a long way to go!
Enough about her, Thea and Gavin (and their daughters and dog) were adorable and very human. They both had issues and worked on them. I found this to be a pleasant surprise and could not put this book down. This isn’t a book about people falling in love, it’s a book about people in love with issues, and them finding their way back to the beginning, trying to get back what they lost, to become better individuals, and to move forward.
The result is a fun, sexy, heartwarming and clever story.
Thank you to Berkley and Edelweiss who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
