I really wanted to get into this one but the characters felt childish (and I know it's a college romance but even so) and I just didn't gel with them. Life is too short to continue reading something I don't like so it's a no from me.

3.5 stars. I picked up this book after meeting Felix in his dad's book [b:Platonic Rulebook|60039166|Platonic Rulebook (Divorced Men's Club, #2)|Saxon James|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1652966936l/60039166._SY75_.jpg|94657617]. I was warned about the amount of miscommunication, but it didn't really bother me up until the end. Marshmallow was truly worthy of his nickname and Felix was an adorable bundle of nerves and insecurity. I would have liked to have been shown a bit more about what happened to Felix between his appearance in Platonic Rulebook (where he just came out) and this book. Apparently things happened that made him insecure, but Saxon never elaborated on what happened in the intermediate period.

I quit reading the Frat Wars series after the first book, but I'm considering picking it up again now for Robbie and Brandon's story, who were cute in this book. And although MMM is not my jam most of the time, I'll probably check out Brady's book as well.

Sometimes when I start reading a book I feel like I can't read it quick enough, not that I want it to end; more that I'm buzzing with excitement and can't wait to get in the thick of the story. This was just how this book started for me.
This is a super sweet story. Marshall is just such a special person. Lots of cuddling rather than steam but when the sex starts it is intense and very intimate. I have to give it 5 stars because I read it in one evening and couldn't put it down.

Words cannot express how much I adored Marshmallow and feisty Felix. I mean, I did want to slap them both upside the head a few times. Actual Communication guys! That would be a GREAT place to start. So much conflict could have been avoided if one of these idiots would have just told the other how they truly felt instead of holding it all inside. However, these are college age boys. What could I expect? I remember my college days and lets just say acting like a mature adult wasn't exactly the top of my priority list when I had the rest of my life to do that.

I did love all the snuggling and every single time Felix jumped into Marshall's giant arms I melted a little more. They were just completely adorable. Another thing I loved about the book was the cameos, especially seeing Robbie again. If he and Felix ever teamed up I am pretty sure they could take over the world. It was the heartfelt chat between them that really had me smiling though.

"I'm going to make him mine, you know."

"How do you know he isn't already?"

See what I mean? All the feels for this one. I've immensely enjoyed both books so far in the Franklin U universe. Based on little peeks of future MCs, I have no doubt I'll be enjoying the next ones as well. I cannot wait to see what the next release has in store for us all.

3.5⭐️ The cameos in this book made it all the better. These dorks are hilarious and so cute. The miss communication and misunderstandings made me want to bang their heads together but overall really enjoyed this one!
