romance
Gavin’s marriage is in trouble and his best friend convinces
him to join a book club made up of a bunch of men, mostly professional
athletes, who read romance novels in order to help them better understand women’s
desires and to keep the women in their lives happy.
This was such a silly premise I hesitated to try it. But The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams was recommended on a published list as something that would be good for book
clubs to read. So, I gave it a try. It’s cute. It’s predictable. It’s fluff. I
disagree that it makes a good book for discussion. But, for what it’s worth, I
do agree that if men read more romance novels it could only help their
relationships. I also liked the concept of male friends being there to support each
other.
The audiobook was narrated by two narrators. Andrew Eiden was
the main narrator and he had a good vocal repertoire and did a great job voice
acting. My only complaint was that he sounds so much like Jack Nicholson that
he was distracting. I give him an A-. Maxwell Caulfield narrated the sections
of the romance novel Gavin was reading and his voice was perfectly cast for
this role even though it wasn’t a very challenging one. I give him a B+.
