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.
Review:
The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams is the first book in her Bromance Book Club series. I was not sure what to expect, as this is the first time, I have read this author, and the idea of a romance book club for sports alpha men had me questioning whether I would like it. I am happy to say I really did enjoy and get a kick out of this book.
Gavin Scott, our hero, is a famous baseball player, who finds his marriage falling apart, as his wife Thea kicks him out of the house and asks for a divorce. Gavin begins to realize that he was unfair to Thea with his disturbing comments, and tries to make amends. Thea Scott, our heroine, is determined to go through with the divorce, and has her sister come live with her to help care for her two daughters. When Gavin tries to apologize, Thea ignores him and tells him that she is going through the divorce.
Gavin tells his baseball buddies about his crumbling marriage, and they insist he join them in a meeting that night. What Gavin finds to his total surprise, as all the men at the meeting are part of a club that helps each other find ways to win back their disillusioned wives. They are the Bromance Book club. What do they read? Historical romance novels. ? Each of the men give Gavin suggestions how to win back Thea, especially to read a novel that is similar to their own predicaments. He must learn how to understand Thea better, and begin courting her again to win her over.
What follows is a fun heartwarming second chance romance, with a great couple, and two sweet kids. It was a lot of fun watching these alpha baseball players give Gavin suggestions in flirting with his wife; at times it was downright hilarious.
Gavin and Thea did not have an easy road ahead, as they both made mistakes and needed to recognize it was not one person’s fault. Gavin needed to get past his insecurity, and Thea had to get past her troubled childhood. It was nice to see Gavin would do anything to win Thea back. By the last half of the book, I found myself rooting hard for Thea to give in to her feelings and take Gavin back. The Bromance Book Club was a fun story line, a sweet second chance romance, and a fantastic humorous group of alpha’s that had me laughing throughout. Lyssa Kay Adams did a wonderful job writing this fun story, which you need to read. I know I will be waiting for the next book in this series. So much fun.
