Sorry, Bro
Still aching from the mistakes and denials of his past, this ER nurse could heal anyone but himself…until now.
Handsome, athletic and intelligent, twenty-six-year-old Bryce should be living the high life.
But he’s far from it.
After shunning his best baseball buddy in high school, dropping out of medical school and fleeing New York to put down roots—if only shallow ones—in New Orleans, Bryce is uncertain about both his past and his future. Working long hours as a low-level nurse and confined by a sexless relationship with a questionably devoted girlfriend, Bryce can’t shake the feeling that things should be somehow better now he’s escaped the confusion and indecision of his former life.
Yet when the ghost of Bryce’s high school past, the handsome and charismatic Tim, shows up injured in the ER, Bryce’s already turbulent emotions engulf him in a vortex of confusion and regret. Haunted by his own insensitivity towards Tim eight years before, Bryce first finds comfort in the powerful arms of a resident surgeon he barely knows, then gives Tim the explosive, cataclysmic relief he had denied him in high school. As Bryce comes to terms with his sexuality and recognises his undeniable attraction to both men, he must decide, once and for all, where his fidelity—and his desires—lie.

Spicy M/M/M medical romance
Bryce, a New Orleans nurse, is stunned when he learns his former best friend, Tim, is his next patient on the operating table. It's been eight years since they shared a brief intimate moment, but it troubled Bryce enough to make him to drop out of medical school and leave behind his family and friends, including his high school sweetheart, in New York. While he might have attempted to start a new life in New Orleans, Bryce realizes after seeing Tim, he is still haunted by the same ghosts, and a growing attraction to Adrian, a handsome surgeon doesn't help matters. Coming to grips with his true feelings about who he is and who he wants, Bryce finally understands how liberating - and fun! - being honest with himself can be.
I have to admit I don't read many menages, but I enjoyed Sorry, Bro because Bryce, Tim, and Adrian are all well fleshed out characters, so the emotions and attractions between the three men rings true. I'm a huge fan of medical romance novels so the book's hospital setting was a huge plus, and Genevieve Bergeron does a great job of integrating hospital and medical details so it doesn't interfere with her fluid prose. The sex scenes are both vivid and sensual. Even though the story involves a triangle of sorts, the real conflict comes from Bryce himself as he comes to grips with his true feelings and who he really loves. Sorry, Bro is definitely a book to read if you like compelling characters and hot sex scenes.

I don't like to review less than three stars if possible, but this just did not work for me.
It's very hard to review properly because it was more like little snippets than an actual story. Not a whole lot of information was given. The characters were not fleshed out and I didn't feel like I knew any of them, let alone relate to the their relationships...past and present.
The dialogue, especially the over-usage of the words "bro" and "man" was something else that didn't work for me. I'm not even gonna mention the fact that the first time Bryce has gay sex it's with two men, and he's the bottom, and the guys just slide right in...no prep, no pain, just happy, happy, joy, joy. Unbelievable and unrealistic.
I liked the idea behind this one, but 43 pages was just too short for all that was going on.

When someone is as down on his luck, as frustrated with his life as Bryce at the beginning of this story, it seems as if things cannot possibly get worse. The thing is, since he's been running from his problems, denying who he is and what he wants, nothing has really changed and it takes a major shock to make him realize exactly what is wrong. It takes a further tailspin into sexual release without thought and a major wakeup call for him to be able to actually do something about his situation.
Bryce has never really faced his needs and fears since he left New York. Now, with his life as a nurse as boring as before, his already estranged girlfriend dumping him, and his ex-friend Tim's life in danger, he has no choice but to look the truth in the eye. Moving away wasn't what he needed, admitting that he is gay and really changing his life is. He treated Tim really badly, and needs to apologize. But he is not a man to think things through, so instead, he experiments with Adrian, the attractive surgeon who comes on to him, only to realize that he not only enjoys sex with a man, but that whom he really wants is Tim.
Tim is in need of help. He's decided to move to New Orleans, to find Bryce somehow, but he bot mugged and has neither money nor a place to stay. He also desperately wants to know why the hell Bryce ran away all those years ago. More than enough reasons to confront him to see where it might lead.
If you like stories about men who have to be desperate before they will admit that they need to be honest with themselves and make some real changes, if you enjoy hot threesomes that help them in the process, and if you're looking for a story that focuses on the physical aspect of a developing relationship, then you will probably like this short story.

This needs some serious TLC!! The words man and bro were used entirely WAY too much!

While the whole trying to be straight thing (silly boy) made me giggle a bit (talk about wasting both his own, his girlfriend's and that of the man who actually wanted him,time) at least Bryce learned from his mistakes) Sympathetic characters (that doctor is a sweetie), hot sex and a happy end.
To be honest, this book could easily have been much longer, with the writer delving deeper into the development of the main character. I understand however that Sorry, bro is intended as a short, hot read, and as such it does what it has to do.

Mostly liked what was written, it just needed more. More character development, more of the history between Bryce & Tim and more plot development. As it is written it seems very unrealistic. With work and development I think the author could sell this story and it could be very believable.
If this story took place in the 1980s in New Orleans then the overuse of the words "bro" and "man" would have been the norm. Sadly, I can attest to this first-hand.

I don't know who at Total E edited this book but it slipped through the cracks.
There is no real story. A few scenes here and there, then a few scenes with sex, both MM and MMM.
I finished this story feeling like all the meat of it had to have been edited out.

M/M/M it was ok. It wasn't really what I was expecting but it is what it is.
I did find it hilarious that he would call the other men Bro or Man. I actually cracked up.
