The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams

The Bromance Book Club (Bromance Book Club, #1)

by Lyssa Kay Adams

The first rule of book club: You don't talk about book club.

Nashville Legends second baseman Gavin Scott's marriage is in major league trouble. He’s recently discovered a humiliating secret: his wife Thea has always faked the Big O. When he loses his cool at the revelation, it’s the final straw on their already strained relationship. Thea asks for a divorce, and Gavin realizes he’s let his pride and fear get the better of him. 

Welcome to the Bromance Book Club.

Distraught and desperate, Gavin finds help from an unlikely source: a secret romance book club made up of Nashville's top alpha men. With the help of their current read, a steamy Regency titled Courting the Countess, the guys coach Gavin on saving his marriage. But it'll take a lot more than flowery words and grand gestures for this hapless Romeo to find his inner hero and win back the trust of his wife.

The idea of anyone using romance novels or books to guide them or inspire them delights me. Toss in a group of men and a secret book club working to better their marriages or save them. Delightful.

The romance focused on Galvin and Thea, a young couple with two children. They are currently separated after she confesses to faking her orgasms. Don’t worry it’s not as shallow as all that. There are some issues here on both sides and Adams allows for growth as Galvin works to win his wife back.

Gavin is coached by his teammates who have formed a secret book club. His first assignment is to read a regency romance titled Courting the Countess. I laughed, got angry, became completely caught up, and swooned.

Family baggage, siblings, friendships and teammates added to the tale keeping me engaged. I am looking forward to the next novel in the Bromance Book Club. It appears that each will focus on one couple and work as a standalone, with the team and club a central theme.

Snuggle up with The Bromance Book Club tonight. A lovely mix of bookish fun, heartwarming romance, swoons, laughter and friendships. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
