Let me start off by saying that before last week, I had not read a Lyssa Kay Adams book including any of the Bromance Book Club series.  Since it is impossible for me to read a series out of order, I read the entire five-book series in the past five days. The premise is unique: a group of attractive and successful men (many of whom are professional athletes) reads romances to reduce toxic masculine behavior and improve their relationships.  I loved all the characters in each of the five books individually and the way they interacted as a family.  The dialogue, tropes, storylines, and character development kept me engaged from start to finish. 

A VERY MERRY BROMANCE is set at Christmas time and focuses on Rock Star Colton Wheeler and Immigration Attorney Gretchen Winthrop (who we glimpsed briefly as Mack's soon-to-be ex-girlfriend in the second book, UNDERCOVER BROMANCE).  The back story, which we learn is everything, primarily focuses on Gretchen's dysfunctional family that causes her issues and Colton's present career difficulties. 

As in the other books, insightful, short passages from the romance novel the men are reading are featured.  All prior characters visit throughout this book to cheer on the couple, tease mercilessly, and provide helpful advice.  Highly recommend the series. The entire historical romance the men were reading in book one is advertised as an upcoming release by the author.   I hope there are more books featuring the Bromance Book Club characters in the future.
