Frat Boy and Toppy (Theta Alpha Gamma #1)
by
Anne Tenino (Goodreads Author)
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, t...more

3 ½ Stars! Good, but not Great! I have mixed feelings on this book, I wasn’t quite as enamored as I hoped I would be.
It had a good start, not much in the way of character development, but there sure was a lot of sex. In all fairness to the book, I’m not sure my head was quite in the game with this one. It wasn’t a page turner, I didn't get that...I can’t stop reading this feeling…more like, some fun, passion and more sex. What I did enjoy, was reading about Brad’s inner turmoil over accepting t...more

This book was lots of fun. There's nothing complicated about this story and that is exactly what I loved about it. Very little angst, just laughs. Brad, our closeted frat boy falls for his sexy history TA, Sebastian. I fell immediately for both MC's. There's a ton of sexual tension and hot sex.
I love this author's humor. There were so many laugh out loud moments. I didn't want the story to end. This will be added to my go-to-happy shelf for sure!

Romcom's are very hate or love with me. Which I believe goes for most people when it comes to comedy. Either you like it or you don't. And if I didn't find this hilarious, the story in itself isn't very strong. The closeted frat boy on his quest to self-knowledge, and him finding love on the way. There's not much of a conflict, and everyone in his life is happy and supportive.
But I did find it funny. So funny that I had to put my Kindle down and just laugh now and then. The characters are a del...more
This is one of my favourite m/m books. The characters are adorable. The set up is believable & poignant. The internal dialogue is laugh-out-loud funny. The whole book is fabulous but I would have to say my all-time favourite bits are when Brad is confessing the BJ from Collin & his defence is..."then he licked me". That little line just makes me snort. The other part of the book that tickles me is when Brad comes out to the frat. Oh yeah, then there's the part when he fesses that he is t...more
I was pleasantly surprised with this book. I thought it would be a funny, light read, which it was. However, I was not expecting it to have that many emotions thrown into the mix. I loved it!
I liked how Brad grew throughout the story and how as the time passed he accepted himself a lot more and was more comfortable about everything. He was adorably confused and hesitant, but his passion for Sebastian was undeniable and in the end so was his love for him.

I was looking for a book that was lighthearted, sexy and had a fun outlook with a lovable protagonist. Frat Boy and Toppy was the perfect book for all those reasons. It sets out to be humorous, uplifting and romantic and it succeeds in each aspect.
Frat Boy, Brad, is a smooth, muscular, attractive and popular jock on a football scholarship who finds that dating girls is not working for him. He also finds he has a more than a casual interest in guys in the locker-room showers, and he dreams about...more

This was the perfect book for my mood yesterday. Cute, hella hot and just all round fun to read. The frat announcement at the end was so funny. On top of that his friend Kyle...too funny! I loved that they were trying to come up with a name for a male fag hag.
This was good times. Now Collin needs a story. Maybe calming down the surly Paul?

August 31, 2012 original review: 4+ stars. Really enjoyed it. The characters were vibrant and jumped off the page. Didn't quite hit the 5 star mark for me, though, b/c I would have liked to have seen more non-bedroom-activity interaction between Brad and Sebastian. The sexytimes were SMOKIN' hot, though. :)

2 stars - it took me a while to even get through this one.
First off this story (at the end) was somehow masqueraded as a love story even though the two main character's entire relationship revolved around sex. That's all they did together. Literally.
And the sex in this was a bit dirty to me. It had some BDSM and Dom/Sub in there too which I dislike. There was no solid build up of emotions or actions, just one character spiraling towards what he thinks of as "love" and the other character trying...more

A great mix between humor and a healthy dose of realism, the story of Brad going from ‘all jock’ to ‘gay man with a boyfriend’ had me laughing and thoughtful in turns. Much of what he goes through follows the classical path of denial to discovery and affirmation of who he really is. This story’s tone of voice is humorous, but some of what happens certainly isn’t. In many ways this is about much more than Brad discovering and admitting he is gay, it is the story of his realizing who he really is...more
A little D/s romance between nervous college jock Brad, and bossy TA Sebastian. Not much plot but plenty of sex and a rather unlikely HEA. For some reason the cover makes me laugh. It looks like he's checking at his stomach thinking, "What with all the bumps, man?". Aren't that many abs anatomically impossible?
3.5 stars because it was funny and light and entertaining and snarky and cute and I like the conversational language the author uses. Although the "'S" could be used a bit less....what does she have against vowels???
4.5
I loved reading this book, because it brought the funny in epic proportions. I think this is my first laugh out loud read of 2012, and that makes it a winner because I love to laugh. Frat Boy and Toppy is going on the list of one of my faves.
Brad is confused, or maybe he isn’t confused just in serious denial about what he is feeling. Brad is interested in women, and he’s pretty much a ladies m...more

I can't write a review to do this book justice. It was very well written, amusing (which as someone who pretty much no sense of humour I loved :) and all the characters very three-dimensional and felt...real. Human. FYI - the author has published a small epilogue on her website to Frat Boy & Toppy.
I'm now on a glom and have jumped to the indirect sequel to this book - Love, Hypothetically. And I'm a huge fan of this author :)

4.5 stars - I loved this. Brad and Sebastian were amazing together! This book made me laugh, but it was also very sweet in places and pretty hot too ;) It was the perfect book to put a smile on my face. I wanted to read it all in one sitting but real life got in the way.
I absolutely loved Kyle. He made me laugh out loud so much, especially during the Frat meeting at the end where he just kept talking. Hilarious, and unbelievably supportive of his best friend. Super sweet.

You know when you are looking for a read and your finger is hovering over the "buy now" button and you are worried if the romantic comedy will be worth it? well go ahead and buy!!!
this story has an excellent mixture of hot sex, funny moments, loveable characters, coming out woes... just everything I hoped would be put together.
You feel for Brad, will want a Sebastian of your own and Collin and Kyle are just hilarious.
great funny read, college ages boys and coming out.
I enjoyed!

This author is fast becoming a favorite! Love her writing, characters and stories. This book is so well written and funny! The coming out for Brad is touching and funny.
I actually liked this book. Nice and sexy. Cute.
BUT, somehing was missing and therefore it gets only three out of five stars.

5 Stars - KAPOW!!
This book was great! RomCom can be so difficult to pull off - such a fine balance of getting some laughs, but not being forced - Anne Tenino has done this perfectly. I just loved the pacing of the book; I loved her "voice" throughout the whole story.
Brad is a Frat Boy , living the dream.... Or the dream that he feels he should be living. As a smoking hot ball player he gets to play the field, and then some. The girls flock to him. But he is picky, and only goes for the girls tha...more

I have to admit, I was very worried about reading this one. I have seen several raving reviews about Frat Boy and Toppy. It is hard for me to read without thinking about what I’ve already read from others. I’m so glad I didn’t stay away from this one!
I loved Brad! I loved watching him go from questioning himself to standing strong in who he is. I felt like Brad could’ve been anyone from anywhere. He was so relatable.

I literally jumped at the chance to read Frat Boy and Toppy and started right away. It sounded really good and like a book I’d like—I was not disappointed! If anything Frat Boy and Toppy exceeded my expectations. Anne Tenino has a way of writing that really drew me in, and I loved the overall tone of it.
The book kicks off right from page one with Brad admitting to himself that he is gay and soon we are following along with his journey of sexual and emotional discovery.
In appearance Brad is your...more
I've been searching for a while for a good new book to read. I particularly wanted one about high school/college, but really I just wanted well written. I must have read a dozen excerpts on Amazon, each one more disappointing than the last. I just couldn't find a story that had intriguing characters, a decent plot, and an author who knew how to string together a sentence.
Then, I found this.
To say I was hooked from the start would be an understatement. I eagerly read the sample on Amazon, downloa...more

Fluffy contemporary romance that’s heavy on the sex
Warning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS.
Rating: 7/10
PROS:
- The narrative voice is light-hearted and humorous. When describing someone who’s eavesdropping, for example, it says this: “If his ears were on stalks they’d be waving in Brad’s face.”
- I liked Brad’s reaction to finally admitting to himself that he’s gay. He experiences about two minutes of denial and then jumps into his new life face first. The sexual (s...more

Sometimes a book gives you more than you anticipate going into it. In this case, I was delightfully surprised by the voice of the story and by some of the characters' quirky thoughts. When I say voice, I'm referring to the fact that I did not feel doubt that I was inside the head of a male college-age guy who was having a sexuality crisis and a grad student who arrogantly thought he was a suave put-together kind of guy- not really, but that's what he thought. Both perspectives were refreshingly...more
So…um…how should I put this? In short summary:
Characters: B
Plot: C
Smut: A+
Yeah…that should cover the most important things…
From the start I wasn’t sure if I liked what I was reading or not. Some parts were intriguing, others were whaaaaat(?) but when the protagonists got together none of it mattered because I almost crawled out of my skin reading the amazing smut! Yeah…you've got to have priorities.

I am not ashamed to say that from time to time I like to take a little skinny dip in the old erotica pool. I suited up over the weekend and dove right in to Anne Tenino’s Frat Boy and Toppy only to come out of the pool feeling quite unsatisfied. I’m done with and over the swimming metaphor now . . . .

I have one word for this book "AWESOME"!!!!
I LOVED it.. I have not laughed so hard and so much in a while...
I recommend this book to anyone that likes M/M Romance but with a light fun twist..
It was endearing and sweet and all the characters were great .. I absolutely adored Brad and Sebastian's relationship.. Brad was so confused and scared about coming out... And Sebastian was so sure of him self and a wealth of knowledge for Brad in and out of the bedroom. Kyle, Collin and Ashley along with Br...more

Opposites attract, but similar feelings and hobby are what keep people together. Brad has been living a lie since he was 14, now at 21 and in college he is ready to face up to the fact that he is gay.
He has a perfect cover as a jock in a frat house with lots of ex-girl friends (most of which he hasn't touched because he is waiting for marriage, LOL). I always had my doubts about guys that say they don't want to do anything because they are waiting for marriage. Huh?! What? They must be gay. LOL....more

Frat Boy and Toppy is exactly the light and funny college novel the title suggest. Brad is a nice jock boy, maybe not so clever and quick in understanding things, and that is the reason why he is struck on the road to Damascus by the realization he is gay. Being gay is not really an issue per se, but Brad is worried how the other people will react… only to discover that his parents and sisters already knew and they are ok with that, his best friend is initially surprised but then he enlists on t...more
Has anyone else noticed that there are a lot of College set stories about at the moment? I seem to have read loads in the last few weeks. Anyway, this, as you may imagine by the title - which I have to say I'm not entirely sure I like, but that's probably just me - is another College set story. It follows Brad who's a football jock and part of a frat house. It begins with one of the most amusing opening couple of lines that I've read in a while:
One of Brad’s frat brothers bent over naked in the...more
