With his passion for romance novels, it was only a matter of time before Vlad wrote one.
Elena Konnikova has lived her entire adult life in the shadows. As the daughter of a Russian journalist who mysteriously disappeared, she escaped danger the only way she knew how: She married her childhood friend, Vladimir, and moved to the United States, where he is a professional hockey player in Nashville.
Vlad, aka the Russian, thought he could be content with his marriage of convenience. But it’s become too difficult to continue in a one-sided relationship. He joined the Bromance Book Club to learn how to make his wife love him, but all he’s learned is that he deserves more. He’s ready to create his own sweeping romance—both on and off the page.
The bros are unwilling to let Vlad forgo true love—and this time they’re not operating solo. They join forces with Vlad’s neighbors, a group of meddling widows who call themselves the Loners. But just when things finally look promising, Elena’s past life intrudes and their happily ever after is cast into doubt.
Finally get to read Vlad’s story! ~ Jennifer – Simply Love Book Reviews
I could not wait to read Vlad’s story. He had such a strong presence in the previous books in the series that I really needed to know his back story. Many would think that professional hockey play Vlad Konnikov has everything; money, fame and women, but he is very lonely. Having married his childhood friend Elena six years ago, their marriage has been one of convenience even though he has very real feelings for her. Elena has been digging in to a story that her journalist father never returned from. Trying to find out what happened to him, she takes very risky chances. She steps up when Vlad is injured during a game and needs someone to take care of him until he back on his feet. The both began to realize that there have been some major crossed signals in the feelings for each other. As they began to explore what their relationship can be in the future, the past comes back to haunt them. I absolutely loved this story and all the emotions that it stirred up. Elena and Vlad were both so confused and insecure that you cannot help but fall in love with them. I really enjoy the relationship that the book club has and how much they are there to support each other. This is a great series!
