Bromantasy

Two heroes. One brain cell.

BROMANTASY is a cozy, queer fantasy about the mortifying ordeal of being known by your totally platonic best friend and the epic quest that might force you to confront the truth.

Fellas, is it gay to kiss your bff while on a quest through the forest you’re unqualified for?

Juniper O'Reilly is good at only two things: demolishing a pint of mead and finding the perfect skincare routine. Everything else—taking care of the farm, bartering for goods, any sort of manual labor—falls to Juniper’s best friend, the absurdly capable, endlessly patient Mo Elmthorn.

But when Juniper accidentally volunteers them both for a quest to kill a fearsome monster, he knows he’s finally gotten in over his head. Juniper hates camping, he hates the dark, and there’s no way all these foraged mushrooms are going to sit well in his stomach. One thing he doesn’t hate? How good Mo’s thighs look in his questing pants—he doesn’t have time to think about that, though, with a monster to hunt and their futures on the line.

But monsters come in all shapes and sizes. When Juniper and Mo realize that the terrifying beast they’ve sworn to kill is just a scared little girl torn from her family, they’re off to find not only the true villain of the story, but maybe even a happy ending.

Adorable

Fun, well written, and exactly what it claims to be. I read the whole thing in one sitting, giggling and kicking my feet the whole time.

These DORKS. XD

This was just what I needed after reading nothing but dark and serious stories a LOT as of late (need some cute sweet stories every now and then that make me laugh).

Predictable plot overdone narration

I finished Bromantacy, and I was really let down. The plot was entirely predictable, and Juniper, the main character, felt overly flat. The narration by Mark Sanderlin was so affected that it pulled me out of the story. Sadly, it didn’t offer any real surprises or fresh twists.

content warning:

this book is silly and cozy at times, but it needs a content warning—

one of the main characters makes a huge mistake, the other feels betrayed by this action, and it causes a child to be forcefully kidnapped by the state. everyone is reunited eventually and they get an HEA, but overall this was not a light read. please take care.
