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.

After a special night together, Colton Wheeler discovers that the one thing that he wants is Gretchen Winthrop, but, Gretchen has other plans from their night together. A year later, she is forced to reconcile with the handsome Colton Wheeler for a spectacular Christmas. And this time, Colton is not letting her go from his grasp another time.
I gave A Very Merry Bromance four stars, continuing to enjoy this series. Lyssa Kay Adams continues to wow me with another of her books and I can’t help but enjoy this immensely. Colton and Gretchen were really cute together and I liked the fact this was a reverse grumpy/sunshine trope. I really enjoyed reading how Colton brought Gretchen to see the happy side of Christmas and taking her on these mini dates to prove that Christmas can be enjoyed and how Gretchen could learn to love Christmas with the right people.
One of my favorite things about A Very Merry Bromance is the fact that even after Colton, he still knew Gretchen had a special place in his heart. I loved the commitment of Colton’s feelings and I loved his commitment to showing Gretchen how to be confident in herself and believing in things that she used to think were only fantasy.
It was really nice and cozy to read A Very Merry Bromance and I love the addition of the occasional chapters of the books that they are reading. It makes me love this series a lot more and I just had such a fun time reading this.
Thank you again to NetGalley for inviting me to read A Very Merry Bromance and for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I hope you guys have a great day, please like and comment down below if you enjoyed this book as well or if you plan on reading it!
