Week 49 Review: A Very Merry Bromance

From Goodreads:
'Tis the season for a Bromance Book Club matchmaking mission! This time, they're pulling out the mistletoe for everyone's favorite country music star, Colton, and his second chance at love.

Country music's golden boy Colton Wheeler felt the most perfect harmony when he was with Gretchen Winthrop. But for her, it was a love him and leave him situation. A year later, Colton is struggling to push his music forward in a new direction. If it weren't about to be the most magical time of year and the support of the Bromance Book Club, he'd be wallowing in self-pity.

It's hard for immigration attorney Gretchen not to feel a little Scrooge-ish about the excess of Christmas when her clients are scrambling to afford their rent. So when her estranged, wealthy family reaches out with an offer that will allow her to better serve the community, she's unable to say no. She just needs to convince Colton to be the new face of her family's whiskey brand. No big deal…

Colton agrees to consider Gretchen's offer in exchange for three dates before Christmas. With the help of the Bromance Book Club, Colton throws himself into the task of proving to her there's a spark between them. But Gretchen and Colton will both need to overcome the ghosts of Christmas past to build a future together.

My Review:
I had such a great time reading this book! I don't remember which book Colton was introduced in, but Gretchen played a small role in the 2nd book, being the date that ended things with Mack, after the $1000 cupcate, and what led to him meeting Liv that day. I was pumped for their story! 

She has issues stemming from her childhood, her family owns and runs a famous whiskey company, and has always been more about the public image then actual family. He's famous, but he worked hard to get where he is. Oh, and she doesn't care for Christmas, while he goes all out. I loved them together! 

A favourite part of mine in this series is the big gesture, all that running. I loved how this book twisted that on its head, that Colton knows that Gretchen wouldn't like the attention that would bring, so he did it in a non-conspicuous way. 

One thing that I wish we got was a conclusion to the book within the book. We know it's going to have a happy ending, but how did things work out, given the reasons why it shouldn't? I really would've liked to have gotten a resolution to that! 

Loved reading this book, and I can't wait for whatever is next from Lyssa Kay Adams!
