Undercover Bromance
Novel by Lyssa Kay Adams
This novel is the sequel to The Bromance Book Club, which I read earlier this year. It tells the story of the friend of the hero and the sister of the heroine from the original, and how they fall in love.
The book is supposed to be a light hearted romance, but the author tries to bring in some deeper issues such as the Me Too movement and abuse. It was was a quick read and sort of mind candy, which is all I can read at the moment since my kids are trying to kill me. There is going to be a third book in the series coming out in October which has a computer genius, which might be more in my wheelhouse since my hubby is a computer programmer.
If you want to hear more about the characters from the first book dig in, but I don't think it's a stand alone book.
Red, White & Royal Blue: A Novel
By Casey McQuiston
I have wanted to read this book for a while now. The plot sounded so good that I literally started reading it less than an hour after a friend of mine dropped off some books for me a few weeks ago.
The title of the book is a pun/play on words, and that is one of the entries of my reading challenge this year. When I googled books with that criteria this was one of the top entries. The story is of the first female president's biracial son falling in love with one of the princes of England. I was just so excited a book with this progressive plot was not only out there for kids that might be struggling with discovering who they are or who they love, but I was so excited that is book was an option for Book of the Month members to pick. How awesome is that, a book about two high profile boys falling in love and it all being okay being so mainstream? I was also jazzed about the book because I love the TV show West Wing so much.
I do have to say for as excited as I was about the book, it was a little long by the end, just wanted the plot to wrap up. I also wasn't prepared for the amount of detail that the book went into what the guys were doing between the sheets. I would recommend the book definitely if you are into politics and are game for a romance between two guys.
