I love silly frat stories and this one was really fun! Transfer student Bailey joins Sigma house, who are at ‘war’ with Kappa house. And Bailey falls head over heels for Kappa VP and general chaos monster Chad. 

These two were very black cat x golden retriever and it was all pranks and silliness and once they got going it was scorching hot! 🥵 

Honestly this book was like a sweet, low angst read - I wouldn’t say anything overly happens in the plot but if you want a smutty, quick read this is a great option!

The rating would be higher objectively, but I've just not been in the mood for this type of book, so it also took me way longer than usual to read it. It really is a good book though!

It's about Chad and Bailey, who are from different fraternities. The Sigmas and the Kappas have a long-lasting rivalry, and each year, they have this contest called 'King of Thieves' where they steal stuff from each other's dorms that have been assigned points and who got the most points wins. Also, they are playing ('harmless') pranks on each other. Bailey is new to Kappa house and has a harder time making friends, so it wouldn't be a good idea to date someone from Sigma house, but he can't deny the instant attraction he feels with Chad and neither can he.

I think it stands out from other frat romances I've read so far by having such a nice relationship (clear and open communication) without any drama between them (no third act breakup, yess). All the drama (which wasn't much) was surrounding the rivalry. I thought the whole thing was silly, and I hate pranks, but it was handled well, so it wasn't really anything to complain about. There could have been more happening in the story, but it was also refreshing just focusing on their relationship without feeling like there was some big trouble looming on the horizon. Just mostly nice vibes everywhere.

So yeah, might rate it higher if I ever reread it, but I also want to read the other volumes sometime.
