Undercover Bromance

"Set in Nashville, Adams draws a familiar-feeling, small town vibe where everyone seems to be connected to one another. Liv Papandreas goes toe to toe with her celebrity chef boss who she inadvertently witnesses in a compromising position and who is now threatening to destroy her reputation. She very reluctantly accepts the help of Braden Mack, who starts off wanting to right his part in the events that ultimately got her fired. But when Mack hears the full story from Liv, he goes all-in, and for the right reasons. Members of ‘The Bromance Book Club’ assist their leader with hilarity and sincerity. And the Me Too moments here will resonate. Support Five Books Five Books interviews are expensive to produce. If you're enjoying this interview, please support us by donating a small amount . Adams crafts a fabulous cast of characters who embody what it means to have someone’s back, especially when they think they don’t need it. That said, at times when Liv and Mack are judgmental, or when they lie, their ‘armor’ and defense mechanisms are totally relatable. Readers will root for Liv and Mack the whole time. This is a series hit. Right?! So do I. I love that talon-wielding rooster, Randy, too. I had two male patrons at my library who read romance. I told them about this series back when The Bromance Book Club was still forthcoming, and they were so delighted. Yes. Liv is the sister of Thea from the first book, The Bromance Book Club . I am really looking forward to the third book, Crazy Stupid Bromance , which is slated to drop in the States this October. I feel like romance authors definitely have more works in progress going on than many other writers. The statistic we often see is about one to two books published per year. According to NPD BookScan , romance represented 18% of total fiction sales in the U.S. in 2019 in both print and eBook formats (as of Feb 14, 2020—and their data did not include audiobooks). 40 million+ romance books were sold in the U.S. in both print and eBook formats, with a market value of $336+ million. And according to them, during the quarantine, contemporary women’s fiction and Westerns were up in terms of genre (that’s data from May 30, 2020). I average about a book a week nowadays."
