Another fun addition to the Bromance Book Club series!

Vlad, a.k.a The Russian, is such an endearing character and quite the unconventional romance hero. His sensitive, emotional nature, innocence and lack of romantic experience are in stark contrast to the persona you'd expect from a giant, star hockey player and a leading man in a romance. It's doubly refreshing because many of these characteristics are usually allotted to female characters so I love how Lyssa Kay Adams chose to explore them from the male perspective in Vlad. It totally worked for me. I was rooting for Vlad to find love and happiness all the way.

There was a lot here that I really enjoyed: the cameos by the rest of the members of the Bromance Book Club, the Cheese Man (if you know, you know!) and even the added mystery and intrigue with Elena's backstory. However this doesn't get 5 stars from me because I felt Elena's story wasn't fully fleshed out or concluded. Frankly, I was left worried for their safety - anyone else? That definitely impacted my HEA feeling.

I'm a huge fan of this series and these men and their relationships. Bring on book #5! Maybe Colton will finally settle down and get his HEA?!
