Playing Games

Franklin U, Book 1

By: Riley Hart

Narrated by: J.F. Harding

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.

Brax and Ty are compelling and super Hot ! This book has a brilliantly written story with all the feels ...real and raw , fun and sexy ! As always J F Harding's narration is suburb!! He brings all characters to life !

Connecting By Our Loathing

It was interesting to watch both characters go from people that weren’t really so likable in ways to great, rich characters. Brax and Tyson turned their hate to sex but that’s all. But as both men realizes that what they thought was true maybe wasn’t. As their friendship builds so do deeper feelings. I love how their support of each other made their lives better.

Loved the Story!

I don't even know what to do with myself now that I'm done with Ty and Brax's story! I could have kept reading about them forever. I loved every word of this! From the first interaction between them through their happily ever after, it was simply wonderful. They start off just irrating the heck out of each other. The back and forth, the barbs and quips, the sarcasm...just all on point and so entertaining! They spend more and more time together, convinced they both find the other supremely annoying, and just keep evolving into friends and then more. Watching all of that unfold was such a joy. There was such a strong connection between them. They were both dealing with some issues surrounding their family and their future. They were both such kind and caring people. They were so perfect for each other and taking the journey with them to this realization was fabulous! So sweet, so swoony, and so steamy. It gave me butterflies and made me smile so much! Add in the wonderful cast of characters, from Ty's friends to Braxton's Grandma, and this book was just perfect all the way around! What a great way to kick off a new shared world series. I am so excited for the rest of the books to come!

I recently became a JF Harding fan, and I really love his voice, but I had trouble in this book differentiating between who was speaking and it pulled me out of the story a bit. But overall I am glad I listened!

Sunshine & Lacrosse, adorable

This was fun and the relationship between the two 100/10 ! The performance was perfect and the spice was a yes from mee
