I am super surprised at how much I liked this book when I thought I’d hate it. So, the question you are asking then is: Why pick up a book if you think you’ll hate it? Duh! Saxon James is part of the CU hockey writing duo and I couldn’t not give it a whirl. Here’s the thing…I HATE frat/sorority life. If that’s your jam, I apologize on behalf of my judgement BUT I seem to have met a ridiculous number of dude bro American guys from frats that I’ve seriously contemplated running over with my car. As I write this, I am now realizing how fitting it is that I ended up with an Australian aka someone not from here. While all US guys are not dude bro frat whores, I seem to be a magnet for them. I’m also a magnet for crazy people but I digress. So, while I love this author, I wasn’t expecting much. I was wrong.

Chad. Fucking hate the name Chad lol and that’s the point. This guy doesn’t fit the stereotype of a ‘Chad’ except at surface level. I might hate the name but I absolutely loved him all the same. Underneath all the confident dude bro frat boy antics is a sweet guy that’s a bit bashful and unsure when it comes to Bailey but he’s Chad fucking Doomsen and nothing is stopping him from getting Bailey, not even a frat rivalry between the two houses that he lives for. Bailey is new to the area just having transferred for his senior year and while he’s heard of Chad’s antics, he has no idea who he is, leading to a ‘frat as fuck’ meet cute. These two never stood a chance trying to resist each other. Opposites attract for the win!

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved these boys, how much I’m looking forward to more books in this series and it was both laugh out loud funny and super steamy just how I like this author’s books. Well done
fast-paced

Not my favorite in the verse but still cute and fun. I love the openness of the characters part of me hopes that what the world will turn to but I know it’s not like that now. One can dream. Either way very cute and fun and silly

I loved this author's CU Hockey series with [a:Eden Finley|15036279|Eden Finley|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1520859183p2/15036279.jpg], and [b:Frat Wars: King of Thieves|59937578|Frat Wars King of Thieves (Frat Wars #1)|Saxon James|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1640525163l/59937578._SX50_.jpg|92792653] definitely had the same kind of fun and carefree college guy vibes, which was great. I didn't love this book quite as much as I expected (I blame all the frat bro stuff which was not really doing it for me), but it was still a charming and sweet story that I quite enjoyed. There was enough potential to peak my interest and I would without a doubt read the next book in the series.

The kind of novel that leaves no trace in your life, except the word 'finished' in your library.

3.5⭐️

Frat Wars by Saxon James was a good read that kept you on the edge of your seat with memorable characters and a great story line.

Chad and Bailey are supposed to hate each other, they are supposed to be rivals...but not even they are able to fight what's between them. You'll have to read for yourself to find out what happens. The characters make this story, and while there were a few times you were cringing in a good way or reading with one eye open to see what would happen next, you will turn page after page until the end. One click this 4 star read today!

Soooo amazing, wholesome, unexpected!!!

Contains: 2 frats boys enemy, falling for the enemy, pranks went wrong, rich-mondain, sweetest cheesy romantic quotes.

Honestly I waited a long time for the relase of this book. Frat wars, I already knew that I was going to be engrossed in this book until the last page. Dumb jock named chad who gives the most adorable romantic statements in the world. Check.
A rich frat boy trying to fit in with a new frat. Check.
A secret relationship and a prank that goes awry, jeopardizing any possibility of being in a relationship and living their relationship openly? Double check.

Will their frat brother's trust them enough to understand the truth and fix the problem or will their reaction take them down a more bumpy route? Cute, funny, cheesy, smoking hot and oh so hilarious, the author takes us back to the college world where everything is funny, trouble free, immature, super light, parties and most of all fun FUN!
