Thank you to Nikki Sloane and Valentine PR for the advance reader copy of The Frat Boy, the fourth story in the Nashville Neighbourhood series.
I binge-read the first three books in this series last December, so I jumped at the chance to review the conclusion of this fun and sexy series.
Colin Novak is the big man on campus. Huge—if the rumors are to be believed. Nearly every girl at Davidson University has had a ride on him . . . everyone, except me.
Which is fine. This frat boy may be irritatingly hot, all carved muscle with a deceptively wholesome smile, but that’s irrelevant. He’s a Sig.
When I catch his fraternity cheating at the Greek Week tournament, he denies it—causing our rivalry between houses to escalate. Colin and I may have started the mud fight, but it grows into an all-out war, and ends with us expelled from our houses.
Now I’m homeless and it’s all his fault.
So, while answering an ad for a leading role at an adult film company wasn’t part of my career path, the work comes with a lot of perks. Steady salary. Accommodations close to campus. A safe place to explore my fantasies.
Except when I show up for my audition, my partner is none other than my new archenemy—Colin. And our sexual chemistry is explosive.
We hate how attracted we are to each other, and I despise that I want every scene to be with him. Because the longer we live together, the more I see he’s not who I thought he was.
This frat boy was so easy to hate . . . but what if he’s even easier to love?
Check out my more detailed thoughts below…
- Characters: The protagonist is sorority girl Madison and I really loved so many elements of her character. She is an incredibly passionate character. As the story progresses her passions for so many things grow, from getting more in touch with her sensual side. Her passion was evident even in the small part of this book that was about the school we found out Madison was an accounting major. Her passion for numbers really comes in handy in some scenes that longtime fans of this series will love. Madison’s love interest is fraternity boy Collin. When we meet this frat boy he has been sleeping around and being a jerk to so many. He goes on a really interesting journey in this book. As he got to know Madison better he began to shift from the insensitive frat boy to a nice guy to even a supportive boyfriend.
- Setting: We don’t actually spend much time at the university, instead we are in everyone’s favourite Nashville Neighbourhood. I loved all the cameos from the characters of the previous instalments. There is a particularly stellar scene at the end that felt like an ode to this series and a beautiful send-off.
- Pacing: This story opened in such an exciting fashion! From the beginning, the premise is established so well, and you cannot help but keep reading. This story kicks off fast and never slows down. All I wanted to do was keep reading it, I may have even put aside prescient things to finish it.
- Romance: This book is extremely sexy, hot, and every other adjective in this vein that you can think of. I loved how we got two concurrent stories, the love story of the key couple and their romance. But readers who love scenes will multiple partners will fawn over this story, if you are a fan of this series I have no doubt you are one of those readers. The Frat Boy has M/F/M, F/F/M, M/F/M/F and lots of voyeurism and exhibitionism. The standout is the physical part of Mads and Collin’s relationship, but the emotional throughline of the budding relationship is still there. One of my favourite scenes was them having a deep conversation late at night in bed. It was low-key super relatable to me, are my boyfriend and I the only people who have deep convos way too late at night when we can’t fall asleep? I just wish these moments of connection happened slightly earlier in the story. If you want a fun bingeable series full of taboo tropes pick up the Nashville Neighbourhood!
The Frat Boy receives four out of five stars.
