Now, this book can technically be read as a standalone, but this is more enjoyable if you\u2019ve read the last book in the series. Since a lot of the events in this story are fueled and stem from plot events from Undercover Bromance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s been a year since Alexa came forward against a celebrity chef in the wake of sexual allegations. It\u2019s been a year since Noah befriended Alexa and they started a journey involving almost everything except intimacy. They spend all their free time together, enjoy meals with Noah\u2019s family, and essentially know everything about each other. So, when Alexa is approached by a woman claiming to be her sister and Noah is faced with trying to be supportive amid attempting to take their relationship to the next level things get a little nuts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is a perfect storm type of story, with everything going a little wrong and right at the same time. As April is trying to navigate all this new stuff, it pushes her closer to Noah. Noah has the Bromance Book Club on his side attempting to get him to be more open about what he wants with Alexa without ruining what they already have.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For me, the story is good, but I wasn\u2019t feeling how Alexa handled the interactions with her newfound family or how she\u2019s treated. Some of the conversations were also difficult to swallow and Alexa\u2019s demeanor made me frustrated. I really loved Noah and found it easy to relate to him and his conflicts. There\u2019s a lot of internal turmoil these two experience and the only way they can be together is to come to terms with it. I do encourage tissues nearby if highly charged drama gets your tear ducts revved.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While the story didn\u2019t hit all the notes for me, it\u2019s not a horrible addition. Fans of the series will love all the appearances by other members of the <em>Bromance Book Club<\/em> and their spouses. There\u2019s plenty of hilarity and awkward moments too. Adams still pulls off navigating complicated situations, but I still struggle with falling for these characters as well as did with Gavin and Thea from the first book.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Landra<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/34CBHkp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/crazy-stupid-bromance\/id1497476569?itsct=books_toolbox&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_crazy_stupid_bromance&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/crazy-stupid-bromance-lyssa-kay-adams\/1136305990?ean=9781984806147\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/crazy-stupid-bromance-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Lyssa_Kay_Adams_Crazy_Stupid_Bromance?id=d7fNDwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alexis Carlisle and her cat caf\u00e9, ToeBeans, have shot to fame after she came forward as a victim of a celebrity chef\u2019s sexual harassment.

When a new customer approaches to confide in her, the last thing Alexis expects is for the woman to claim they\u2019re sisters. Unsure what to do, Alexis turns to the only man she trusts\u2014her best friend, Noah Logan.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Computer genius Noah left his rebellious teenage hacker past behind to become a computer security expert. Now he only uses his old skills for the right cause. But Noah\u2019s got a secret: He\u2019s madly in love with Alexis. When she asks for his help, he wonders if the timing will ever be right to confess his crush.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Noah\u2019s pals in The Bromance Book Club are more than willing to share their beloved \u201cmanuals\u201d to help him go from bud to boyfriend.

Now, this book can technically be read as a standalone, but this is more enjoyable if you\u2019ve read the last book in the series. Since a lot of the events in this story are fueled and stem from plot events from Undercover Bromance.\u00a0<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s been a year since Alexa came forward against a celebrity chef in the wake of sexual allegations. It\u2019s been a year since Noah befriended Alexa and they started a journey involving almost everything except intimacy. They spend all their free time together, enjoy meals with Noah\u2019s family, and essentially know everything about each other. So, when Alexa is approached by a woman claiming to be her sister and Noah is faced with trying to be supportive amid attempting to take their relationship to the next level things get a little nuts.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is a perfect storm type of story, with everything going a little wrong and right at the same time. As April is trying to navigate all this new stuff, it pushes her closer to Noah. Noah has the Bromance Book Club on his side attempting to get him to be more open about what he wants with Alexa without ruining what they already have.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For me, the story is good, but I wasn\u2019t feeling how Alexa handled the interactions with her newfound family or how she\u2019s treated. Some of the conversations were also difficult to swallow and Alexa\u2019s demeanor made me frustrated. I really loved Noah and found it easy to relate to him and his conflicts. There\u2019s a lot of internal turmoil these two experience and the only way they can be together is to come to terms with it. I do encourage tissues nearby if highly charged drama gets your tear ducts revved.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While the story didn\u2019t hit all the notes for me, it\u2019s not a horrible addition. Fans of the series will love all the appearances by other members of the <em>Bromance Book Club<\/em> and their spouses. There\u2019s plenty of hilarity and awkward moments too. Adams still pulls off navigating complicated situations, but I still struggle with falling for these characters as well as did with Gavin and Thea from the first book.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Landra<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/34CBHkp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/crazy-stupid-bromance\/id1497476569?itsct=books_toolbox&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_crazy_stupid_bromance&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/crazy-stupid-bromance-lyssa-kay-adams\/1136305990?ean=9781984806147\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/crazy-stupid-bromance-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Lyssa_Kay_Adams_Crazy_Stupid_Bromance?id=d7fNDwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26514","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26514"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26514\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
