BLURB:
A friends-to-lovers novella that came from Out of the Shadows because Nate and Dylan needed a story….
Nate and Dylan have been pals for a long time. So what if their friends think they’ve got a little bromance going? Doesn’t mean there’s anything more to it than that, right? And even if there is, Nate and Dylan are totally oblivious….
Until the night they share a drunken kiss, and everything changes.
REVIEW:
Nate and Dylan have been joined at the hip and best friends forever. Being stood up by their friends they decides to have a fun evening together anyways. Only things go further than either of them planned and that night has the potential to ruin their friendship forever or change into something else, something more.
Bromantically Yours is a story we’ve all read before. I can’t say that it really brings anything new to the game. Done well this could still have been a cutesy story to spend an afternoon with. But it wasn’t. It was a bit too shallow and mindless (or plot-less) and I never connected to anyone in this book. I do appreciate effortless and drama free reads at times, but at the same time I need something to keep me interested. And on another note, this book is a spinoff from another book WeIl’s written, but never felt like I was missing out on anything, it works well as a standalone.
Daniel Henning didn’t do anything for this book. On the contrary actually. He was too much and not enough at the same time. Some parts were over dramatized and to the point where it all just sounded a bit ridiculous, other times there were no feeling near his narration. He never made you connect with the story and I found myself feeling mostly annoyed throughout the story. On the plus side, Henning had a very pleasant voice to listen to and I do believe he has potential for narrating books, but I think I’ll wait for him to get some more practice before picking up more of his books.
I picked this book up on a gamble, knowing it could be a cute short story or a bad one. Sadly it ended up in the latter part. There were some cute and fun moments, but not enough of them for me to recommend this to anyone.
