What a fantastic start to the Franklin University series! I immediately fell in love with Braxton and Ty. Their reluctance to admit how much they actually like each other makes for hilarious banter. I think my favorite thing was Ty’s endless list of nicknames for Brax. But also Ty’s relationship with Brax’s grandma. But also Brax insta-stalking Ty. But also Brax surprising Ty at his lacrosse game, and Ty pointing his (lacrosse) stick at him from the field. I could go on and on.
These guys were just so fun to read. The angst was low, but there was still plenty of conflict and meat to the plot. It allowed Brax and Ty to show up for each other and themselves in ways they never had before. I laughed out loud, I swooned, I definitely blushed, and I loved every second of this book. It’s a perfect college coming-of-age story of two goofy and stubborn boys who can’t help but fall in love with each other.

Great start to the Franklin U series!
An absolute delight of a start to the new shared universe series of Franklin U. Playing Games is the first of eight books in the series, this one centering around Ty and Brax, total opposites with extreme chemistry.This is an opposites attract M/M romance with tons of verbal battles (or should I say foreplay), two clueless idiots falling in love and swoony and mushy moments they will deny till the end of time!Ty is a rich guy, a lacrosse playing jock and an overall spoiled individual with daddy issues.Brax has a scholarship and works his butt off to to go to university.Ty is loud and bright and outgoing.Brax is a loner, broody and grumpy.They are so different it should not work.Their banter and teasing from the beginning was absolutely delightful. I loved their little verbal back and forth... also the chemistry between them was sizzling from the start and was also noticable to everyone in their lives.I loved their dude-bro hookup, pretending its not real, having no idea what those gross feelings are relationship grew. It was hot, swoony and sweet.There was not much angst in the book just some adorable love and family drama, mostly off-page.The side characters were also great bringing some much needed depth into our MCs. Ty's teammates and Brax's sweet, wise grandma were the best!All in all, this was a fun read and I can't wait to see what else is there at Franklin U.
