This book was so fun! 

Bailey is the new kid on campus. Though he got into his frat because of his connections, he doesn't know how intense the rivalry between the Kappas and the Sigmas really is. But through every conversation, one name stands out, Chad Doomsen. 

When Chad runs into the new kid, he doesn't know anything about him. But from one glance, their attraction strikes. But once they find out their identities, everything comes to a standstill.

No matter how hard they try, they can't stay away from each other and eventually find their way back in one another's arms. And at the background of every one of their secret interactions lies the frat rivalry and their yearly King of Thieves competition. 

But the more time they spend together, the more they realize this is more than just a hookup and that there are real feelings involved. Add in some nefarious pranks, some wayward frat members and an over-enthusiastic family, and you're in for one hell of a ride!

This book was absolutely delightful and I'm already anticipating some potential couple stories! If you like light, fun romances, that keep you smiling throughout, then this is the one for you!

cannot think of anything other than one of the (far too many) sex scenes that used the word "impaled"... truly cursed

This was my 4th read of this book and it is just as good as ever! I absolutely adore Bailey and Chad together and they are definitelty a comfort read for me. They are both such engaging characters and their chemistry is palpable. I love how they really communicate throughout the whole book - we don't get any miscommunication or 3rd act breakup tropes even when that is what the plot is gunning for, and for that I am so glad. It feels like this book really models a healthy relationship even with them having to hide due to their rival frats. I can honestly say I think this couple would actually stay together after the end of the book and have a succesful life together!
