Football Royalty

Franklin U, Book 8

By: Eden Finley

Narrated by: Tim Paige

If you never fooled around with someone of the same gender, did you even go to high school?

Peyton

My whole life I’ve had the pressure of being Marcus Talon and Shane Miller’s football prodigy. I’ve been destined to follow in my NFL-playing fathers’ footsteps since the day I was born. I usually thrive under pressure, but as senior year looms, it all gets too much, and I need an outlet. The last place I thought I’d find my release is at Levi Vanderbilt’s graduation party. In his bed. With him.

It’s a one-time thing. An experimentation. And while it was fun, we agree that being with guys isn’t for either of us. I’m happy to accept that until he turns up in California.

I haven’t had to think about him for four years, but now I can’t get him out of my head.

Levi

Coming to Franklin University for grad school to follow a boy I hooked up with once is the stupidest thing I could have done.

We said that high school didn’t mean anything, but the truth is, that night made me realize who I truly am, and since then, I’ve been trying to find that sense of freedom again.

I’m hoping it can be with him, but everything I’ve heard around campus points to Peyton not having the same life-changing revelation I did.

And if that’s the case, did I just move across the country for a straight guy?

Obsessed

I have loved everything I've read by Eden. One of those is the Fake Boyfriend series. When I saw this book was one of the kids from one of those couples, I couldn’t wait to read it. It was absolutely amazing. And the fact we get to see the parents and enjoy their same sense of humor was perfect. Can't recommend this series enough.

When I saw Tim Paige was the narrator, I knew I had to get the audio. He did an amazing job like always.

FU I will miss you!!!

I really enjoyed this even though it was another football story. This is Marcus Talon’s boy and it was good to have them in the story as well.

Tim Paige did a superb job, as usual, with the narration!

Don’t miss this series there are many great characters!

Pretty Good ending to the series

Eden's books are hit or miss for me - some I love so much it hurts, others not so much . I liked this book a lot. Although I have some issues with the machinations they are purely personal and don't really have an impact on the writing or story . What I like about it is the lack of exaggerated angst. Yes the MC's have internal and external conflict but they also face it and make attempts at resolution.

Definitely a 4 star book

An incredible listen

Fantastic narration- holy hotness in the spicy scenes!
Some laugh-out-loud moments with the snarky comments between characters. I absolutely loved Levi & Peyton’s story and how Finley included members of the extended family who we’ve read in her other books.

Soo good!

Everything was just so good the banter, the jokes, how Peyton’s family basically adopted Levi. It basically just stole my heart. I cannot wait to read Brady’s story.
