FRAT AROUND AND FIND OUT
by Devon McCormack
⭐️⭐️⭐️
I received an E-book ARC edition of this novel in exchange for an honest review. It will be available on Amazon & Kindle Unlimited on June 26, 2025!

This is a 284-page fast-paced Friendemies-to-Lovers, Hurt/Comfort, College MM Romance. This is book 1 of the PEACH STATE FRATBROS Series, which is an Off-Shoot from the PEACH STATE STEPBROS series. I highly recommend reading StepBros first as it sets up the world and characters really well. This is a story about 2 college frat guys that are Presidents' of their perspective houses that are each others rivals. When some accidently rubbing leads to a little mess, it leads to some open-minded fun.
--He's fucking mine. I marked him. The hell did that come from…?--
Written in a duel POV, FAFO takes place at an existing location we learned about in previous books. Lance is the President of the Alpha Theta Mu House which was the setting where all stepbrothers started banging. Lance is an adorably shy guy that can’t ever control his blushing. He is more of a relationship type of frat so doesn’t tend to get much action from girls. Ty is the President of Sigma Alpha House with a mouth on him. We don’t know as much about this house/frats, so you learn about them on the way. Ty is a caretaker and people pleaser which led to him being a hookup god with all the girls. Other than these small personality differences, these two were more alike which did become confusing. While reading I kept losing which POV I was reading unless they were by themselves around their friends. It made it hard to really get into the story for me because that was a distraction and the pacing was a bit jagged/off.
--"…fuck around and find out by calling him trash one more time.”--
The plot is very character forward. It’s centrally about the 2 MCs with a great supporting ensemble. You do get visits or mentions from the StepBros with one of those couples really being around a lot. The frats from both houses added a sense of family and fun competitive rivalry with their TaskFrat Challenges and pranks, that never went overboard to hazing. It really added some humor to cut through some of the baggage our MCs are hurting from while trying to comfort each other at the same time. This also sets up the next book really well with a plot point that pulled at the heartstrings and make you stress.
--This raw desire reminds me of when I first discovered jerking off….--
The spice was great! 4/5🌶! It was detailed and realistic with a point made that 2 ‘straight’ guys can learn together through experimentation with being immature or dumb about it. I loved the message that everyone moves at their own speed and patience is key while consent is sexy.
--"Sometimes you just gotta own it.”--
I will leave you with this. This was a cute and simple story with a life lesson that things happen that could go wrong or are embarrassing, but don’t let that stop you from being happy and missing out on the good in life. You can only control what comes next by learning from your experiences and grief.
💜Happy Reading🫶
