Synopsis
Liv Papandreas has a dream job as a pastry chef at Nashville’s hottest restaurant. Too bad the celebrity chef owner is less than charming behind kitchen doors. After she catches him harassing a young hostess, she confronts him and gets fired. Liv vows revenge, but she’ll need assistance to take on the powerful chef.
Unfortunately, that means turning to Braden Mack. When Liv’s blackballed from the restaurant scene, the charismatic nightclub entrepreneur offers to help expose her ex-boss, but she is suspicious of his motives. He’ll need to call in reinforcements: the Bromance Book Club.
Inspired by the romantic suspense novel they’re reading, the book club assists Liv in setting up a sting operation to take down the chef. But they’re just as eager to help Mack figure out the way to Liv’s heart… even though she’s determined to squelch the sparks between them before she gets burned.

Review
I loved Bromance Book Club. It was one of my favorite reads of 2019. One of my favorite things was Braden Mack. So the fact that Undercover Bromance centers around him is a big plus. It also centers on my least favorite character from the Bromance Book Club, Liv.
The story is very relevant. I loved seeing Mack and the book club guys going after a predator. What I loved was this had all of my favorite characters as well as some new characters that were just as enjoyable. One thing I did miss from the first book, was the focus on the book that the book club was reading. There wasn’t too much about that, and I found myself missing that element.
What kept me from giving this book a full 5 stars was Liv. I still didn’t like her, and though I don’t hate her as much as before, there were some actions that I thought were pretty unforgivable. She is not good enough for Mack. But Mack more than makes up for my dislike for Liv. He is just as funny and charming as I remember.
While I did enjoy Bromance Book Club a little bit more, Undercover Bromance is still a great addition to the series and if you enjoyed Bromance Book Club you will enjoy this one.
