The first rule of book club:

You don't talk about book club.

Gavin Scott's marriage is trouble. The Nashville Legends baseball star has recently discovered a humiliating secret: his wife Thea has always faked the Big O. His reaction to the revelation is the final straw for their already strained relationship. Thea asks for a divorce, and Gavin realizes he's let his pride and fear get the better of him.

Welcome to the Bromance Book Club.

Distraught and desperate, Gavin finds help from an unlikely source: a secret romance book club made up of Nashville's top alpha men. With the help of their current read, a steamy Regency called Courting the Countess, the guys coach Gavin on saving his marriage. But it'll take a lot more than flowery words and grand gestures for this hapless Romeo to find his inner hero and win back the trust of his beloved wife.

What a fabulous concept The Bromance Book Club is,  so unique and clever. 

For its a book club made up solely of Nashville's most top men from all walks of life, who read romance novels, to use them as instructional guides in how to understand and treat women. 

Gavin is a top baseball player, has just had a wonderful season, and discovers his wife Thea has always faked it, and his reaction to that causes big damage to their marriage.   Some of his teammates are in the book club and they initiate him into it, and use a certain regency romance novel to try to get Thea to fall in love with him again. 

As a result we as readers are treated to not only Gavin and Thea's story, but also extracts from this book that he is using, and you can see how fiction parallels life in this! 

I loved that this book was written predominately with the focus on Gavin, the hapless sweet man who is eager to learn the ways of the woman!   Thea is lovely and I enjoyed the character development from her side, and their toddler twins, Amelia and Ava are adorable (most of the time). 

 I'm also very happy to read a book that features a sexy Baseball player, but in the off season, so we didn't have too much actual baseball in the book, as it is one of the few sports that doesn't hold my interest! 

I loved the various dynamics in this book and the whole way it was written. I found its a quick and delightful story to read, and I'm  already looking forward to seeing what the next Bromance book club book in the series will bring us. 

Thank you to Headline and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
