Undercover Bromance (Bromance Book Club #2) de Lyssa Kay Adams

Leitura agradável da série Bromance, onde encontramos o solteiro do grupo, Mack, a tentar redimir-se após o escândalo que ele inadvertidamente causou no restaurante mais in de Nashville e com a cunhada de Gavin. Pelo menos é isso que ele pensa mas mais verdades escondem-se na atitude de Liv, a irmã de Thea, para com o anterior emprego de pasteleira e seus colegas, e para com a vida no geral.
Gostei.
Sinopse:
Braden Mack thinks reading romance novels makes him an expert in love, but he’ll soon discover that real life is better than fiction. 
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.
Boas leituras

Friday nights de Joanna Trollope

Leitura agradável sobre a amizade e as relações interpessoas com relatos do dia-a-dia de um conjunto de mulheres com os seus altos e baixos que são mais abanados com a entrada de um elemento masculino, numa relação com uma delas, mas igualmente no ciclo de amizade de todas.
Ciclo de amizade composto por vários elementos femininos, com várias idades desde a mais nova, Jules, a reformada, Eleannor, e com diferentes tipos de trabalhos, desde comercial a dj, com ou sem filhos mas todas sem companheiro permanente na vida.
Sinopse:
THEY WOULDN'T LET ANYTHING - OR ANYONE - GET IN THE WAY OF THEIR FRIENDSHIP, WOULD THEY?
Friday nights, the best night of the week, the night they all looked forward to more than they cared to admit - talking, drinking, laughing and crying together.
They were six female friends, different in age and circumstances, but with one common need: the warmth and support of their Friday nights. It was a time to share secrets and fears, triumphs and tragedies and, above all, to feel safe in the company of women friends.
But things never stay the same forever, especially when a man is introduced into the mix...
