Gavin’s wife Thea has told him she wants a divorce. He doesn’t want to do that but doesn’t know how to fix things...until his best friend introduces him to the Bromance Book Club. It’s a group of men who read romance novels (manuals) to help them understand how to be more in tune with their feelings and what their partners want from them.

I really enjoyed the ways this book explored romance novels and all the great messages in them. I haven’t read many romances about a married couple working to r

Thank you Berkley Romance and Edelweiss for an eARC in exchange for an honest review! #partner

I’m always apprehensive to read books with a lot of hype behind them, and believe me The Bromance Book Club is receiving a TON of hype right now! After a few of my trusted book friends read and loved it, I decided it was finally time to dive into my eARC. I made it 5% in before I started sending screenshots to my best friend, and another 5% before I preordered the audiobook to listen to with my husband

I had so much fun with this book. I needed something light and easy after reading Ninth House and The Bromance Book Club did the trick. If you are looking for steam you won't get it till the back half of the book but I enjoyed this book anyway. Normally I want them to get steamy early but I liked the back story to this one leading up tp the steam.

I loved the side characters and hope they all get their own book. Adams made you root for Gavin and Thea. You can understand the hurt and the pain tha

Such a great book! I loved that the main couple were imperfect and we got to see their flaws and them grow by the end. I couldn't stop reading this one it just flowed so well. I must say I'm not a rom-com fan but there were parts where I really did laugh out loud!! I will definitely recommend this one to all my book loving friends! ...more

ARC received from edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.

You know that giddy feeling you get when your just smiling your way through a book loving every damn minute of it? That is this book. I enjoyed reading this book so so much. It was a refreshing take on romance, showing a marriage rekindled.

Gavin and Thea are on the brink of divorce & pro baseball player Gavin looks to his teammates for advice. Suddenly, he is summoned to his besties basement

The Bromance Book Club was even better than I expected! It was laugh out loud funny, sweet, frustrating, sexy, and just everything I could ask for in a romance novel.

Gavin and Thea's marriage is on the rocks, with Gavin having moved out of the family home after an "incident" in the bedroom. Alone in a depressing apartment, he falls into the bottle. When his friends come to his rescue their plan for getting Thea back - using romance novels as a how-to guide -is unorthodox, at best. Still, Gavin

**I received a complimentary advance copy of this title from the publisher. All comments/opinions are my own.

This book is romcom GOLD. Absolute GOLD!!!

I have not highlighted so many passages in a book before simply because I was giggling with glee. SO MANY laugh out loud moments here. This group of men wading through romance novels as if they were textbooks with grains of wisdom to strengthen their relationships was completely delightful for this romance junkies soul. I devoured this bad boy. I

Happy #pubday to this amazing book! I have enjoyed The Bromance Bookclub series so much and I can't wait for the next in the series.

Review: I can't be the only one that's a sucker for a nerdy friends to lovers romcom. This book was such an enjoyable read filled with swoon worthy moments and hysterical laugh out loud moments. If you've loved the series so far, this is another must read!

What I loved:

1. Adams tackles the difficult topics

I received an ARC from Edelweiss plus in exchange for an honest review.

Men reading romance to understand women, a Russian farting, two people with two kids trying to get their marriage back on track, a bunch of guys founding a romance book club for the aforementioned purposes. Did I mention Book Boner? It might look like sci-fi, but it's instead the endearing, hilarious The bromance book club

It starts kind of sad, at least for the tender-hearted that I am, what of Thea and Gavin, a major basebal

This book was such a refreshing take on romance. As someone who's been married for a while I know that the hot and heavy romances I read are not realistic long term. I think that is part of why I enjoy them, they're an escape from the every day mundane. The Bromance book club though is about what happens after the "happily ever after". What happens in a relationship when the passion and romance dwindles? This book managed to be fun and make me laugh but also offer a more serious look into marria ...more

I LOVED this book! What a great premise.
I really liked that it wasn't just the H who had to work on the relationship but also the h too. It wasn't all one-sided. I think some men could learn a thing or two from reading a romance, but especially a historical romance.
I laughed and smiled all the way through reading this and I couldn't put it down. Definitely recommending it to everyone as this was one of my top 3 contemporary romance reads of the year.

Thank you to Edelweiss and Berkley for the digital galley of The Bromance Book Club.

Gavin Scott is trying to save his marriage. His fellow teammates have devised a plan to help him do just that. Enter, the book club. A group of professional baseball players who read romance novels in order to get into the minds of women and find out just what it is that women want.

I adored this novel. It was fun and sweet and funny without the cringe that romance novels often have. The idea that men would go to

Book Review:
PSA: If you love romance, go get yourself this book. This one packs a double punch. Not only is it a contemporary romance, but it’s about a group of men who USE romance novels to better their relationships. I mean, there is no better way to appeal to my romance loving heart. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

4.5 what an excellent depiction of a marriage at the edge and a couple trying to find their way back to one another! I loved the male friendships in this book. It was laugh out loud funny at parts!

This book had me laughing in so many parts. Gavin had me swooning with his attempt to save his marriage. I was not a big fan of Liv and how negative she was on Gavin and how she tried to influence Thea and Gavin’s marriage. This was just a fun laugh out loud book. ⁣

Have you ever read a book that makes you smile constantly? That was me with the Bromance Book Club. This book was seriously adorable. I loved both Gavin and Thea and was truly rooting for them. Sometimes you just need a book you know will have a happy ending, and I love that romance can always provide that. I can’t wait to read more by Lyssa Kay Adams. This one is out now and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a low steam contemporary romance. ⁣
