Crazy Stupid Bromance

Thank you to Berkley Publishing for sending me a review copy of Crazy Stupid Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams. This is the third in the Bromance Book Club Series but each one works pretty well as a stand-alone book, and you can read my review of The Bromance Book Club here and Undercover Bromance here.

I honestly think that each book in the series is getting better and better. There are definitely some laugh-out-loud moments in this book (especially whenever Beefcake the cat is around) but ultimately I’d put it squarely in the tug-at-your-heartstrings category. There is some pretty intense family drama, parental death, second families, themes of sexual abuse, and emotional recovery—wrapped up in a super sweet friends-to-lovers story.

I loved both of the main characters in this book, and as always I adore the other hilarious (but sweet and vulnerable) members of the Bromance Book Club. I think it was Mack that said (about romances) that “It’s the journey. It’s how they get to that happily ever after that matters and makes these books so special and instructive.”

I’m just going to put it out there that I really, really hope the next book is about The Russian. I am just dying to know more about the lactose-intolerant, crude but mushy, bear of a man. Who else is with me?

You’re definitely going to want to grab your own copy of the book, so click the button below to buy from an indie bookseller!

Synopsis:

Alexis Carlisle and her cat café, ToeBeans, have 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.

A hacktivist and a cat café owner decode the friend zone in this romantic comedy from the author of Undercover Bromance.
