Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m so happy @KadaGul put book 1 of this series on her #AuldLangSpine list. I‘m loving this series. Book 3 was just as funny as the first 2. The scene in the spa locker room was fantastic. The Russian remains my favorite character. 💙

Not my personal favorite tropes, but still well executed! I loved Noah and Alexis as a couple, even if their avoidance of issues in their personal lives made me want to smack them every so often. Can't wait to continue this series! #contemporaryromance

This is one of my favorite series I‘ve read in a long time. Love every single book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

1.) If I need to be comforted I reach for romance, (it's rare that I find a romance book that doesn have HEA for an ending)
2.) I don't re read books for comfort but I will sometimes hold them and flip through their pages...
3.) Any book from the Bromantic series by Lyssa Kay Adams is a total comfort read for me.

This is the 3rd book in the series and I enjoyed it. The two main characters have daddy issues and I was happy to read how they got closure. The romance was sweet but I didn't really care much for the sex scenes. 3.5 ⭐️

It wasn‘t bad, but it was also my least favorite in the series. Sounds odd, but Alexis was just too nice, and too forgiving and also rather naive. Cat cafe idea was cute, and liked the support offered to survivors. Maybe some of the newness of the series wore off for me. Still like the idea of guys using romance novels to figure out their own relationships, but this one didn‘t work as well for me.

It was a great mail day! Not only did I get Girl Scout cookies, but yay! #bookhaul! (which doesn‘t go against my book-buying ban because subscriptions) 😆

Skin of the Sea is from OwlCrate.
The other 3 are from the Men Read Romance subscription box.

I've nearly finished Crazy Stupid Bromance... While working on this jumper for my husband. It's a modified Quick Win Raglan in Bendigo Woollen Mills "Tweed", a wool and bamboo blend. 7th anniversary theme is Wool! #romance #litsycrafters

Fun.

When I woman comes up to Alexis in her cat café claiming she‘s her sister & their father needs a kidney. Alexis calls up her best friend, Noah. The more they hang out with each other, the more they move out of the friend zone.

This is my favorite book of the series so far. I like the chemistry between Alexis and Noah. There‘s that right amount of spice. And of course there‘s cats.

"Women aren‘t rehab centers for emotionally stunted man-babies who think the key to a serious relationship is to just wait for the right woman to come along. You have to be ready to be uncomfortable, to stretch yourself, to be vulnerable."

@Andrew65 is out sick so @EadieB is hosting #SuperSeptember #readathon!
The readathon starts tomorrow and runs until September 19th.
I am not sure how much reading I'll be able to get done since work overtakes my life during the school year (life of a RSP teacher working at 2 schools this year), so I'm going to set my goal to be simple: read 30 minutes a day.

Are you participating?

This was a fun read and the 3rd in this series. This time it is best friends Alexis and Noah who are figuring out their relationship and if they should be more than just friends. With the help from Bromance Book Club of course!

A cute fun series. Although I enjoyed the first book more, it had good character development. We often hear that we learn to heal with time. But perhaps finding courage is just as necessary in the process of healing. For some, courage takes time. And with time, we gradually heal. This book definitely captured the importance of having the courage to heal

Pulled this one off my TBR during my most recent romance book kick. I loved Alexis and Noah as friends and ultimately as a couple. However, I kind of was not feeling Noah independently. His whining and negativity was kind of a let down. I found myself rolling my eyes every time he made a caustic comment about Mack's wedding planning. What saves him is his worshipful love of Alexis. Well, hope the Russian doesn't irritate me in his book lol.

I love this series. The scene with the bromance club at the spa to get massages made me giggle maniacally. And now I have to wait for the next one which will be released next month.

Also, I love that after she released the first one, she was actually contacted by men who read romance. Faith restored.

I enjoyed the book, but this group of friends would drive me nuts. They‘re always up in each other‘s business, and the men are as bad as the women! #meddles #MayCharacters

Probably my favorite of the series so far due to the chemistry between the 2 leads. Looking forward to The Russian‘s story!

1. It‘s a nickname a coworker gave me many years ago.
2. On the patio after work with a beverage beside me.
3. Nothing has really set me world on fire so fire, but I liked the tagged book.
4. Two humans and a feline.

Current plans

Fun and sweet friends-to-lovers romance. Lots in here about forgiveness, among family members as well as between lovers. And...Toebeans Cafe? How cute is that? Good excuse to show off the kittens knittin‘ mittens puzzle I put together a couple weekends ago.

Loved these characters and laughed out loud several times.

This third book in this series was just as delightful and charming, and I can‘t wait for book 4 this summer! In this one, Alexis is running her cafe when she is approached by a woman claiming to be her half sister. Her best friend Noah offers to help her out - but do she and Noah want to be more than friends?

A couple of teary eyed moments amongst the laughter. Perfect reading on a nice spring day.

Finished listening to this audiobook while flying over Salt Lake City last night 🙂

This was not a typical book choice for me, but I enjoyed it and maybe even fell in love with Noah a little bit 💕

I had absolutely no prior knowledge about this book or the author, but I feel like maybe it is part of a series??

It is good to be home and I am happy to report that my son chose a college in Indiana. Well worth the trip to check it out.

This is a real quote in this terribly toxic "romance":

Mother, of her boyfriend: "Hitting you was unforgivable."

Her son, our romantic lead: "It doesn't have to be."

WHAT THE ACTUAL ****?!!? Anyway, this book is crap.

This is my favorite of the series thus far! A tech whiz and a baker/community organizer romance it up.

Relationship trouble? The Bromance Book Club is a secret club of men reading romance books to better their relationships. Each book in the series features a man and his problem, often tackling toxic masculinity.

Charmingly entertaining, this is a series I‘ll continue to listen to. The audio performance is great.

Continuing the series.

Loved this book! So many laugh out loud moments! 3rd in the series of a group macho, successful men who have a secret romance book club to get and keep women. Very fun, light, quick reading!!!

This is the 3rd book in the Bromance Bookclub series. In this book the heroine is Alexis who was the MC BFF in the 2nd book. She is dealing with the aftermath of naming a former boss in a sexual harassment case. Her cat cafe is a place of welcome to other survivors. Noah is a former hacker turned tech genius. He and Alexis became best friends during her ordeal and now they both weigh possibly losing that friendship if they become more.

I can‘t be bothered to make lunch as I‘m enjoying this book too much. Thanks again @Karkar

This latest installment of the Bromance Book Club series was delightful: funny but complicated and quite touching too. I cried more than at theu characters‘ sad pasts and their challenging presents but that made the happy ending that much sweeter. This is not your standard romcom and it was perfect for this lazy, rainy day off.

Library hold came through so squeezing this in middle of my other current book. Holds tend to through me off my game but I‘ve been looking forward to reading this 3rd and last in the series 😄

Another excellent book in the Bromance book club series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This is my favorite so far in the series. I liked both Noah & Alexis, and their friends to lovers/possible unrequited love story was sweet & funny. Both of the main characters lost a parent when they were young & I liked watching them deal with that & everything that comes with it as you try to navigate relationships. As someone who also lost a parent as a teenager, there was a lot I could relate to in this book. Definitely recommend!

@Karkar thank you ever so much! I adore it all! It‘s a rainy chilly day so it‘s the perfect excuse to dive into this book. #jolabokaflodswap @MaleficentBookDragon

Love this series. Book three expanded on the characters a little. There wasn‘t really an actual reason the two single people who liked each other couldn‘t be together. Other then lack of communication.

I loved Noah and Alexa. I loved how where such good friends before anything romantic started. I was heartbroken when they hit their speed bumps. I was elated when they realized their strong friendship bloomed into a deep love.

4.5/5

This series never let's me down. This time it's cybersecurity expert Noah's turn to join the bookclub and learn how to build a romantic relationship with his best friend Alexa. It's super sweet!

1. Twice in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren and Crazy Stupid Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams

2. In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren & Why Fish Don't Exist by Lulu Miller

3. In a Holidaze is the first holiday book, and I'm planning to watch Rudolph very soon!

#weekendreads @rachelsbrittain

So good! Who‘s next, Russian & wife or Colton & ???

Might be my fave of the series so far. Noah & Alexis are lovable characters & their friendship is precious, even before they move forward w/their relationship. I was worried at first when it seemed the obstacle to their relationship was just that they didn't want to share their feelings despite being perfect together. The author takes it deeper though, making them confront and face the effects of grief. Very satisfying & looking forward to Book 4!

I'm assuming that #3 was written well before 2020 and the irony that there is a Karen who is "A KAREN" is just too awesome. Love this series and it's men. Their Bromance Book Club, their desire to be good men by actions not only by societal expectations, willing to do the hard, emotional labor on themselves to be strong partners for their loved ones (chap 12). The epilog elutes to The Russian leading #4!?! Maybe he'll get his pedicure after all.

Grand gesture! I love this series. Cute, creative, and feel good stories that always make me smile. I‘m beyond excited to see we are getting a fourth book next year and it honestly sounds like it‘s going to be the best one yet.

Excellent addition to my favorite fantasy series!!

I truly love the Bromance Book Club. I love the idea of men taking it upon themselves to teach one another about emotional maturity and feminism. Of men deciding to be vulnerable with the women they love and also with their male friends. Of men who cry and take women seriously.

Truly, a beautiful fantasy.

This book: decent addition, less book club than I like, but some amazing growth. 4👍🏼
