Publisher's Summary

Chris Delaney

I've promised myself that this was going to be the year to finally buckle down. I'm a junior, and I’ve settled on a major. I've got focus and determination. The one thing I haven't figured out yet? How to deal with the massive crush I've been harboring on the guy in study carrel six. I don’t know his name, and some of my friends think it’s time for me to move on, but he has this whole sexy, broody, dark eyes and messy hair thing going for him. And yeah, he seems like he could be my polar opposite. The kind of unapproachable, serious type who doesn’t smile much, but I’d like to think he’s all rays of sunshine underneath his stormy expressions and disheveled demeanor. All that intense energy…I dig it. I want to know him.

The rub? I’ll have to find the courage to actually introduce myself.  

Aiden Russo

The college experience is supposed to be parties, drinking, and fun with a few classes mixed in. It sounds pretty amazing, right? For me, it turned out to be endless lectures, avalanches of homework, and copious amounts of caffeine. The study carrel might as well be my dorm room. And that guitar under my bed? It's got two years of dust growing on it. But this is the life I have to lead if I’m ever going to help my dad. Pre-med isn’t for the weak. 

The problem? Loneliness holds me hostage. If only I could find someone willing to break through my ever-present cloud bank, and remind me what it’s like to have fun again.

Absolutely adorable!

The Glow Up book five 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 you can definitely read them in order I haven't and it hasn't hindered my reading. Characters do cross over but the books have been written so that you can read them out of order.

We briefly meet Aiden in Amanda's For Him series and after loving that series I couldn't wait to dive into this one. Chris and Aiden are absolutely cinnamon rolls and it's a sweet feel good vibe that I was totally here for. Even though it's set in the FU world it didn't have that frat vibe that they other books did which was fantastic for variety in the series and absolutely worked for this couple and their story.

I of course all can't say no to a book narrated by Teddy Hamilton so I've course I waited for this to hit audiobook and it was so worth the wait. Teddy narrates with Michael Crouch, they did a superb job!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
