Rom Com lovers rejoice! Crazy Stupid Bromance is the perfect blend of witty banter, laugh out loud dude antics and depth. Hot IT nerd & hactivist Noah and cafe owner & cat-lover Alexis have found themselves in the friend zone ever since Alexis outed a celebrity chef for sexual harassment and Noah decided to show her nothing but platonic support and respect. When a mysterious customer divulges a life changing secret to Alexis, she naturally turns to Noah for help. Noah wonders if there will ever be the right time to share his biggest secret with Alexis: he's madly in love with her. Noah's friends in the Bromance Book Club are more than happy to help Noah navigate his swoon-worthy dilemma!

This was a wonderful third book in a series. I loved Noah and Alexis. The friends to lovers trope is one of my favorites and this did not disappoint. While I was reading, I could feel the tension between them and just couldn't wait for them to finally be together. I just love how supportive Noah was. And when Alexis blamed him for leaking the articles- I was so mad! NOOOO, he wouldn't do that to you.

One of the things I will always love about series is getting to reconnect with characters from past books. So getting to see Gavin, Thea, Mack, and Liv again made me so happy!

Very funny, engaging characters, and the ones from previous books in the series are integrated in ways where they are still well-rounded and interesting. The romance is realistic although some of the backstory of the characters didn't seem to fit together quite as well as in the other books in the series. The highlight of the book continues to be the meta-narrative on romance as a genre, insightful and enjoyable. A great addition to a new and excellent series.

Another enjoyable addition to the Bromance series.

Alexis and Noah are the best of friends, have been for over a year and a half. They text each other daily, hang out all the time, and know they can count on each other for support whenever needed. So, when a young woman appears in Alexis’ café one day claiming to be her half-sister, the first person Alexis turns to is Noah.

Noah is immediately suspicious, especially because the sister’s sudden appearance is linked to the father Alexis never knew and his need for a kidney. He knows Alexis has a big heart – too big, in his opinion. But he would do anything for her. Because, Noah is actually in love with his best friend.

When he sees signs that perhaps she might be interested in something more, he (kicking & screaming) agrees to join the Bromance Book Club in order to figure out how to go from best friends to lovers. Only, his reluctance to actually do the homework leads to misunderstandings that create a rift rather than bringing them closer together.

One of the elements that I like a lot about this series is how the author uses the book club to a tool to analyze various elements and themes within the romance genre. This one was particularly good because it dealt with feelings of abandonment and the process of forgiveness as a healing mechanism. (Seriously, I rarely cry over books, and this one had me tearing up.)

Based on a brief mention near the end of this story, I have a feeling the next installment will focus on Colton and Gretchen. I just hope we also get to meet the Russian’s wife and find out what is happening with their situation.

I've laughed through all the serious topics this series has covered, but I was not expecting to cry! Gah! Adams hit all my emotional triggers. But before I was crying, I was laughing at the guys, their banter, and the way the come together to save one of their own. I fell head over heels in love with Noah and Alexis. I am so sad that I have to (hopefully) wait for another book in this series, but I can't wait to see whose love life the guys get to save next.

This third installment in the Bromance Book Club relies much less on the "manuals" the guys utilize than the previous two, but that doesn't make it any less than the previous two. Indeed, Noah and Alexis get their just-friends to just-so-in-love transformation perfect. Throw in a Groom-zilla, a surprise family, an unexpected kidney transplant, and shared grief, and this romance has it all: comedy, tears, kissing (and more), the close emotional bond between two friends who finally take the plunge.

Thank you for breaking my book slump! This book was just what I needed. I really, really, really loved the transformation of the relationship from friends to more for Noah and Alexis. Rarely do I see this trope done well, but Adams has accomplished it.

The Bromance Book Club is BACK! It is my belief that the mark of a good author is when they can craft characters that pop off the page. They have personality and are memorable even if they are considered secondary to the main storyline. Lyssa Adams has achieved this accomplishment in her Bromance series. I think that my favorite character is the Russian. I'm not sure if he will ever get his own book, but you best believe that I would show up for it! Those were the moments in the book that had me laughing out loud. I also stand behind this book's message. I believe we all could learn a lot by reading more romance novels. (insert winking face)

This is a series that has been popping up on my Goodreads radar a lot. I wasn't sure what to think of it but I ended up finding this book to be pretty adorable. The posse of athletic dudebros who adopted reading romcoms and using them as their primary source of relationship advice as one of the ways to combat toxic masculinity was something I wish I saw more of in real life, and I loved how supportive everyone was of each other.

Thank you to Berkley and Netgalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I fell down a rabbit hole of The Bromance Book Club series a few months ago. It has become one of my new favorite romance series, because the plot is great, the writing is addicting, and the characters are so lovable and hilarious.

Crazy Stupid Bromance follows Noah and Alexis, who have become best friends since Alexis came forward as a victim of celebrity chef Royce Reynolds. When a new customer approaches Alexis with shocking information, she turns to Noah, the only man she fully trusts. Noah is madly in love with Alexis, and feels like the timing will never be right to admit his feelings for her. But with help from the Bromance Book Club, maybe he can go from Bud to Boyfriend. But is it worth risking the best friendship he's ever had?

If you're a fan of the friends-to-lovers trope, you need to get your hands on this. Noah is adorable. Oh my goodness. And don't even get me started on how funny the Russian is. I demand a book about him! I want to get to know him better, and plus he's just absolutely hilarious. Alexis is another character I enjoyed. She's strong, raw, and honest.

There were some steamy scenes too, and you all know how much I love that! Lyssa Kay Adams writes great romantic scenes that aren't cringe-worthy at all. I'm here for it!

If you're a fan of this series, you need to pick this book up. If you haven't picked up the first one, what are you waiting for?

All three books from the Bromance Book Club series have been an absolute delight. I love the premise of the series, where these men learn to work through their relationship problems rather than leaving it to the women.
After reading Braden and Liv’s story in Undercover Bromance, I was so excited to read about Noah and his potential romance. However, this one did fall flat for me in comparison to the first two novels. Noah as a boyfriend became a character I wasn’t fond of - overprotective and aggressive. Not only do these traits not fit with the Noah from the 2nd book, these also all go unchecked. When Braden exhibits similar behavior, he’s reprimanded for his toxic hyper masculinity - and I loved that!
I do wish the Bromance Book Club had played a bigger part in the book, especially toward the second half. If there is another Bromance Book Club book that comes out in the future I will gladly read it, but I hope it stays on the same track as the first two novels instead.

I love, love, love this series! Like the previous books in this series, this one is so funny, sexy and absolutely cute and romantic. It's witty and makes you laugh out loud because it does highlight the realities of toxic masculinity and how men can be just as romantic, and emotionally expressive as women. Additionally, it throws light on important traumas that people go through. I love this book. These books make reading worthwhile and make it so fun.

I say this every time. My favorite Bromance Book Club book so far!

Alexis and Noah have been friends since Alexis came forward as a victim of celebrity chef Royce Reynolds. But both want something more and aren't willing to admit it to each other. When Alexis has a encounter with a woman in her cafe who claims their sisters her entire world is flipped upside down. Luckily Noah is there to catch her.

I want the next book now, preferably about Colton and Gretchen although I will settle for a book about the Russian!

Another great Bromance book! I love the fully realized characters, and the banter is top-notch. I’m always excited to recommend this series to romance readers at the library!

Liked this, the third book in the series, much better than the second. The story line was much better - less forced to fit a specific theme. The complex emotions that Alexis went through when finding our information on her origin felt real and were well communicated. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the digital ARC,

Well DANG. This book so far passed my expectations I might have loved it more than Bromance Bookclub??? I was a little weary of this book because I wasn't crazy wild about Undercover Bromance but DANG this. book. was. amazing.

Noah and Alexis were two characters that I immediately fell in love with and adored throughout the entire book. I loved their love story and was really pulled in by Alexis and her family drama. Noah and his struggles really touched me and this is one of the only books I've read this year that has made me cry. Bonus points for the great consent in represented in this book.

It lost a little steam for me in the middle but picked it right back up near the end. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

**2.75 stars? Maybe? **

I haven't read either of the previous two books so keep that in mind when reading this review. As a disclaimer for those who also haven't read the previous book, aside from more details about the Bromance Book Club, you do not need to read the others to understand what's going on.

The romance aspect of this book was cute. I feel like the characters went from strictly friends to strictly lovers with very little middle ground. I always enjoy the build up and I really don't think we got that from this book. I did love the two MCs chemistry though and they were so cute and fun together.

However, as people, I'm still trying to decide whether I liked Noah and Alexis or not. Honestly, both of them were pushovers and had almost zero backbone. Alexis basically agreed to the surgery because she seemingly felt obligated. To the point where it felt like she didn't even debate it. She'd never met any of these people before and she was just all, "You want my kindey? Cool where do I sign up for this, stranger?" It was just odd and totally aided in me feeling like she was a pushover. Then you have Noah, who is a grown man still taking crap from his Dad's best friend despite being successful. I kept waiting for him to stand up for himself and that barely happened. I think if only one of them had been a pushover and not both of them it would have been a little easier to swallow, but it was so in your face the whole book that I just couldn't deal.

What saved this book is the secondary characters. I have the first book on my kindle and I really want to read it to see how Mack and Liv came to be. I thought the friendships and all the guys in the book club were hilarious and so supportive of each other. I'm really interested to know about the Russian's story. Hopefully his book will be next. Also, the massage debate was hilarious and made me actually laugh out loud.

Overall, I'm really torn on how to rate this book. On one hand, I mostly enjoyed it, but on the other hand I'm annoyed by certain aspects.

I loved this! Best in the series for sure (and I loved the previous books.) Alexis and Noah's relationship was just so good in every stage and form it took. Honestly my only complaint is that I wanted more Beefcake! (And can I just say, when Noah started defending Beefcake and started drawing parallels to himself- *chef's kiss*)
I think the romance novel part wasn't really as prevalent in this one as with previous books, but the book club itself and its members were still present, which I appreciated. I also loved seeing the guys doing all the wedding errands and planning.

3.5 stars. This wasn’t on par with the first one in the series at all. It could be the trope - friends to lovers is pretty tricky to navigate. The extra drama - secret family, kidney donations, random business rival literally named Karen with no resolution... it was a little busy. The romance novel part of the book seems almost just sprinkled in afterwards to make it related to the series; he didn’t even finish the book by the end of the novel. They didn’t have sex for the first half or more of the book, then the sex they did have was literally like 3 chapters of only sex. It was so much at once, even for someone who loves a good sex scene.

Despite what I didn’t like, there were some heartwarming moments and some funny parts. The bachelor party massage had me laughing out loud. I teared up at a part or two.

It just felt really forced when the men discussed toxic masculinity and what not. It’s something I noticed in book 1 but was able to kind of explain away, but by the third book in the series these conversations should flow much more naturally.

I loved this friends to lovers romance. Once again Lyssa Kay Adams has made me cry by creating characters with real emotional arcs. The character's growth as people and as a couple always felt real and was extremely satisfying. For fans of Jasmine Guillory and Alexa Martin.

The Bromance Book Club is back and wackier than ever!

Alexis Carlisle, proud owner of ToeBeans Cafe and cat lover, has been slowly healing ever since she came out as a victim of a celebrity chef's sexual abuse and her cafe has quickly become a place for other victims to gather for healing. When she tries to connect with one young woman, however, she's in for a shock: the woman is actually the half-sister Alexis never knew she had... and their father is in desperate need of a kidney.

Former hacktivist, currently straight-and-narrow cybersecurity company owner Noah Logan is hopelessly in love with Alexis, his best friend. But he's terrified that if he tells her about his feelings, their friendship will be ruined. He keeps telling himself he's content with being her friend.... until one emotionally-charged night turns everything upside down and Noah finds himself turning to help from the last place he wants it.

Yep. That's right.

The Bromance Book Club.

This fantastic third book in the Bromance Book Club series brings together Actual Cinnamon Roll Alexis and Slightly Charred But Still Good Cinnamon Roll Noah as they each confront their pasts in order to find their future. They are so totally sweet and supportive of each other, though of course they have things to work out (who doesn't in any kind of relationship, be it friendship or romantic?) and some things get worked out really well on their own. Others... Well. It's not a Bromance Book Club book without a Grand Gesture (and all the running that comes with it!) at the end, now is it?

Other fun things in this book include: Beefcake, the cat who either comes from heaven or hell depending on if you ask Alexis or Noah; Liv and Mack tying the knot; the freaking Bromance Book Club being the Bromance Book Club, reading Romance books in the most Bro, Manly way possible; and, of course, The Russian doing what he does best: being The Russian.
