PositiveAll About Romance... a terrific sophomore effort that McQuiston fans will enjoy. I mostly loved it but a few things kept it just shy of a perfect read. Few quibbles aside, I highly recommend One Last Stop – especially if you are a fan of some supernatural elements in your romance ... this book was so unexpected! ... a delightful, mind-expanding science-fiction mystery. But then this book also has the unexpected romance between August and Jane plus an amazing cast of delightful misfits ... the story was sometimes hard to follow (and amazingly hard to summarize). You definitely need to exercise some suspension of disbelief, but there is so much more going on in One Last Stop than August and Jane’s story. McQuiston has packed the novel with terrific secondary characters ... a true ensemble novel packed with witty banter and beautiful insights ... there are definitely some loose ends with the ‘Jane-out-of-time’ angle – like how did she spend all those years on the Q without any idea she was stuck? But if you can go with the flow and just lose yourself in the story, you are in for a treat.

RaveAll About Romance... a wonderful, character-driven novel about the gray area between family responsibility and duty to self ... Evan is a top-notch hero ... St. George does a lovely job of making this duke/boxer achingly vulnerable and so honest with August. August is the perfect balance of smart, witty, and tender ... the author certainly knows how to write a love scene and create and build sexual tension ... a terrific book [that] gets a solid recommendation.

PositiveAll About Romance... great fun – a sweet, easy read spiced with some hilarious scene ... one of the funniest books I’ve read this year. Turns out it’s pretty hilarious reading about alpha men reading (and studying) romance novels, and the author does a wonderful job writing the scenes with the book club members. Ms. Adams deftly interweaves chapters from Courting the Countess into the story so we get to see Gavin’s reactions to a regency romance and his attempts to mimic some of the hero’s moves. It’s funny stuff ... The book is not without some flaws. For one, the twins can only be about two-and-a-half and yet, their speech is much more like that of four- or five-year-olds. I was also disappointed that Thea never took responsibility for her part in her and Gavin’s bedroom issues. It’s 2019 and she should have spoken up right away and done some coaching of her own ... Flaws and all, it was still a fun, clever story that I’m delighted to recommend. There are more stories to come from The Bromance Book Club series and I’ll be picking those books up too!
