The Frat Brats of Santa Barbara series follows members of a college fraternity in California through seven books of romantic misadventures. Each title is structured as “The [Setup] [Catastrophe],” and the books lean heavily into specific romance tropes. The Fake Boyfriends Debacle (2022) starts with a classic fake-dating arrangement, while later entries like The Wrong Twin Dilemma and The Accidental Honeymoon Catastrophe put their own spins on familiar setups.

The series has a lighter, funnier tone than some of Hall’s other work. The fraternity setting provides a built-in ensemble cast, and the comedy-of-errors energy in the titles carries through to the actual plots. The Bedroom Coach Agreement and The Office Nemesis Calamity round out the series by moving some characters beyond the campus, though the frat brotherhood remains the connective thread.
