The Russian!!

I have had a soft spot for the Russian since the first book. He is such a sweet man and I can relate to the digestive issues though not quite as severe but man do I love cheese. Um the crazy talk about cheese makes me think I need a Cheese Man. Do I not know what real cheese even tastes like? Have I been missing out on real cheese? Where can I get my fix?

Vlad joined the Bromance book club to help his marriage which we didn’t know much about till this book. 

Vlad and Natasha were childhood friends and married when he was drafted by the NHL and was moving to America. She had some tragic family events happen and he wanted to protect her and remove her any danger.

Ok so this is just all miscommunication and no communication. These two heard something at some point in their relationship and they just stopped talking to trying to be a couple. It always makes me want to yell at them. But they are being so respectful of their life long friend and not pushing.

I loved this book! I don’t want to give too much away since we slowly learn more about Vlad and he was such a small side character which became a more since we all love him but there is so much that we learn. And of course the relationship with his book club is still so amazing and beautiful.

The parallel romance novel is different in this book and I love it and I hope you do too! You can tell a lot about him because of it!

This is just the most Bromantic and romantic series. And I love how they refer to romance novels as manuals. 

Thank you berkleyromance and netgalley for the E-ARC for my honest and voluntary review.

Synopsis:

With his passion for romance novels, it was only a matter of time before Vlad wrote one.

Elena Konnikova has lived her entire adult life in the shadows. As the daughter of a Russian journalist who mysteriously disappeared, she escaped danger the only way she knew how: She married her childhood friend, Vladimir, and moved to the United States, where he is a professional hockey player in Nashville.

Vlad, aka the Russian, thought he could be content with his marriage of convenience. But it’s become too difficult to continue in a one-sided relationship. He joined the Bromance Book Club to learn how to make his wife love him, but all he’s learned is that he deserves more. He’s ready to create his own sweeping romance—both on and off the page.

The bros are unwilling to let Vlad forgo true love—and this time they’re not operating solo. They join forces with Vlad’s neighbors, a group of meddling widows who call themselves the Loners. But just when things finally look promising, Elena’s past life intrudes and their happily ever after is cast into doubt.
