Publisher's Summary

Brax

Tyson Langley thinks the king in Franklin University Kings is in reference to him. Star lacrosse player and God’s gift to the female and male population, there’s nothing the spoiled jock can’t have.

It’s impossible for us to be in the same room without talking crap to each other. But I also have a secret…as much as I despise Ty, I want him too. I revel in our banter and in never knowing what he’ll say next.

I’ve spent too much time on the wrong side of the law for someone like Ty, though, and if I want to make it through college and escape my past, he’s a distraction I don’t need.

Ty

Braxton Walker needs to learn to lighten up. If you search brooding online, his name pops up. He’s the bad boy with a leather jacket and a scowl. We couldn’t be more different.

Finding ways to annoy him is like the longest foreplay session of my life. And when we end up working together, it gets harder to deny how hot he makes me.

What’s a little hooking up between enemies?

We weren’t supposed to become friends or share secrets. We weren’t supposed to understand each other and all the complicated stuff we’re going through.

I’m used to playing games, only the more time I spend with Brax, the less it feels like playing around and the more it becomes something real.

a good listen

Very funny and really cute. I laughed a lots, swooned a bit and loved how great there relationship was, even if a unique and with only a couple of bumps a long the way. The narrators also did a great job.

Lighthearted and low angst MM!

Playing Games book one in the Franklin U series. A MM college romance series collaboration between either authors. Each author writing their own book within the FU world.

While this is book one I didn't start with this book in the series and it didn't hinder my reading experience at all. These books have been written so that you can read them out of order.

I really enjoyed the banter between Brax and Tyson. The tension and snark was great. Still very much with that low angst vibe which makes for easy reading. It's light-hearted and cute at times will still bringing the sassy/snark. It's that classic bad boy and jock romance with a little more depth.

I listened to the audiobook and definitely recommend JF Harding as a narrator. He did a great job with both POV's.

Ty and Brax

What an awesome start for the series. What a wonderful University, These young men are full of snark and banter, you are kept on your toes. Tyson is star Lacrosse player and Brax is the bad boy. They despise one another but on another level they want each other. Ty loves to torment the Brooding bad boy, just to see what happens. What's sex between enemies, nothing serious, until it does.

Loved it Vers/Vers

Always a fan of Vers couples and this felt so believable. The popular hot jock and the brooding sexy bartender. One of the best books out there.

J.F. Harding does amazing narration in this!

OMG So Good

This right here is most definitely one of the best stories I've listened to this year. the writing is what we always expect and receive from Riley Hart. the narration by J. F. Harding is what really makes this book. His voice and the personalities he has given each character is On My!! so good. He definitely made this a No pausing listen all night Holy smoking HOT sexy scenes Great Audio book. This will be a book I go back to many times too re-listen. Let's hope the rest of the series can even come close to being this good.

Love the communication and story

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this one! I love Riley’s books but for some reason I wasn’t thrilled at the idea at first, but I loved the pace and how they worked with each other and off of each other! It felt more like a real story I could believe than just a romance novel, I want more!

Loved Ty & Brax

What a great way to start the Franklin U series. I throughly enjoyed this book. The back and forth between Tyson & Braxton was off the charts. this book is enemies to lovers at its finest. And throw i. A bunch of angst on top of that! Wow. JF Harding did a tremendous job narrating. Definitely give this a listen. You won’t regret it.

Best of the series

Perfect narration and best story of the FU series for me. Banter is A+ and has believable character arcs for both MCs. Delightfully spicy.

A great enemies to lovers jock/nerd listen . Brad and Ty have thrown insults at each for 3 years they hate each other or that’s what they want everyone to think but we all know there’s a fine line between love and hate .

An excellent first book!

I loved this. Whilst this frenemies to lovers story has been done countless time, these characters are really well thought out and have great depth. Of course it helps that the narration is on point and brilliant. The first time I’ve found myself staying up late until the whole book has finished!
Absolutely loved it!
