Frat Boy and Toppy

Theta Alpha Gamma, Book 1

By: Anne Tenino

Narrated by: Nick J. Russo

Brad is great at meeting other people's expectations. But his own? Not so much. Take the gay thing. Okay, so yeah. It took a morning meeting with a frat brother's hairy, naked ass for him to admit it, but he knows the truth about himself now. Let the gay life commence.

Unfortunately, it's not that easy. He hasn't quite determined how to come out to anyone, even Sebastian, the geeky-hot TA in his history class. Sebastian is everything Brad is not. Intellectual, suave, hairy. Out. And he doesn't seem interested in Brad, even when Brad makes a fool of himself trying to catch his notice.

Score one for foolery: Sebastian does more than notice Brad; he takes him to bed. Brad's been with plenty of girls, but with Sebastian, the sex is something else entirely - hot, mind-blowing, affirming, and a little domineering in a way that drives him wild. But when great sex turns into something more - dare he admit the "L" word? - Brad must face the crushing realization that Sebastian doesn't feel the same. Unless, of course, he does. After all, even grad students can be idiots about matters of the heart.

Great MM romance

Another great Audible from the Escape package. I found this book due to looking for narrator. I enjoyed this coming out story for Brad. He and Sebastian had a great love story. I loved Brad’s friends, Kyle had me laughing out loud at times! I look forward to listening to more by the author and narrator.

meh....

I am almost done with the audible version and I can't finish it. I tried. I don't feel there's a connection between Brad and Sebastian. I don't feel a connection to either character and don't care what happens to them. This is the first book where I didn't care about either character. There isn't anything in the story that makes me want to keep listening. It's a cute story, but didn't hold my interest.

Love the Characters

I’m a big fan of well crafted and interesting characters. If I don’t like the characters in a book, then I’m probably not going to like the book very much. So I was very happy with how much I enjoyed Brad (Frat Boy) and Sebastian (Toppy) as both a couple and individual characters. The book was pretty short and I wanted more from the ending, but I had such a great time enjoying Brad’s self-discovery and watching both men fall in love with each other.

So much better than I thought it would be!

I kept passing this book up but because I love almost everything performed by Nick J Russo I finally tried this book out and I finished it in less than a day. I found Brad endearing and sincere and the chemistry that he and Sebastian have is off the charts! The scene where Seb takes Brad the first time felt amazing...the way Tenino wrote it and the way Russo performed it made me feel as if it was my first time as well....5 stars. I can see myself listening again.

Light, easy, fun read.

I'm just going to get this out of the way- sometimes I do judge a book by its title, and this is one of them. If my cousin hadn't recommended Frat Boy and Toppy to me I probably would have passed it up, based on the title alone. But I'm glad she did because it turned out to be a fun listen.
This is Brad's story of coming out, and as fun as it was, I also found it quite endearing. I liked that there wasn't a lot of drama, and that things with Sebastian didn't drag out.
I laughed out loud multiple times, mostly when Kyle was involved! The scene in particular when Brad came out to him had me cracking up! I was glad he had a friend like him, the scene at the frat meeting was classic.
I really enjoyed Nick Russo's narrating. especially his portrayal of Brad- it was a nice mix of vulnerable, goofy, and adorable. The rest of the characters were nicely done as well, each one having a distinct voices so there was no getting anyone confused.
I'm looking forward to listening to more in this series!
