I binged all three Frat Wars books in a little less than five days. I absolutely recommend all of them (and read them in order, I think you'll regret it if you don't!). These books are fun and spicy and sweet; not as douchy as they look (although they're not NOT douchy either, lol). I love getting to see the main characters in other books, and each book ends with a (slight spoiler, no specifics)
chapter taking place at their reunion. I love how these three chapters piece together across the books and the reader gets to learn about what each couple is up to in the future.

A few of my favorite things about Master of Mayhem, specifically:
  • The entire premise of Robbie being bi-curious and asking all of his bros to let them touch his dick For Science™ is hilarious. Like in King of Thieves, there's no gross homophobia from the frat brothers, even when one of their friends is making this very weird request. 
  • Brandon and Robbie are so sweet together, in their own ways. My favorite sweet moments were
    Brandon staying for Christmas so he could hang out with Robbie & Robbie helping safety-manager Brandon have fun without feeling like he's shirking his responsibilities.
  • Loved the appearances of Chad & Bailey from King of Thieves! Great to see their relationship (and rivalry) still going strong :)
