Blurb:Shy science guy Liam and fun-loving jock Isaiah have been roommates since their freshman year in college. On the surface, they couldn’t be more different. What the rest of the world doesn’t know is that tucked between basketball, classes, and hanging with friends are some of Isaiah’s favorite moments—just Liam and Isaiah in their room, watching documentaries or goofing off. Liam certainly … certainly never imagined Isaiah would become one of his favorite people, but their friendship was pretty much solidified the first time Isaiah saved Liam from a killer spider.
When Isaiah discovers Liam is looking for a hookup to help him explore a secret kink, the idea of anyone touching Liam that way sparks a protective instinct Isaiah has never felt before. Then, Isaiah confesses that he’d like to be the one Liam experiments with, and Liam is completely bowled over—equal parts thrilled and wary of ruining their friendship.
From the first sting of Isaiah’s palm, Liam’s fantasy finally comes to life. The more they explore together, the closer they become, uncovering feelings neither were willing to admit before. But outside the haven of their room, reality isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Isaiah isn’t out, and worries about his college basketball career. And Liam won’t be someone’s secret, not after he promised himself he’d stop hiding and being afraid.
Deciding how to navigate the world together will be the final exam they’ll need to ace.

This was a super cute love story between Isaiah, the jock, and Liam, the nerd with a lot of spanking kink thrown in. The plot was the typical opposites attract/roommates getting together, and the story was a little cheesy. The writing felt rushed and not to the standard that I expect out of Christina Lee and Riley Hart who are both amazing authors. I enjoyed the book, but this was not the best work (not even close) that I’ve seen from this duo.
Such a promising story line, but goes absolutely nowhere believable…..
This was a fantastic friends to lovers romance between Isaiah and Liam. I loved everything about this story. These two authors together are a fabulous team who weave beautiful love stories between two men that stay with you.
Loved this book. Very entertaining
4.5*
So sweetly hot! This was a great little love story between a jock and a nerd. I do love a good opposites attract romance and Isaiah and Liam couldn’t have been more opposite if they tried! I liked that they started out as friends, and when the opportunity to move things in a different direction was dropped into his lap, Isaiah took full advantage! I loved the care he took with Liam, and when things got real, how he owned up to his mistake immediately. Liam was a doll and I loved how he opened up to Isaiah.
These guys were just so sweet, and it was fun being along as they navigated their new relationship, even if they didn’t realize that’s what it was becoming.
I loved the whole concept of the Ace’s Wild series and I look forward to diving into the next one!
I really enjoyed Isaiah and Liam’s story. They are roommates and complete opposites in every way. Liam is a certified science nerd who enjoys watching documentaries regarding science. Isaiah is a jock, a basketball player who loves going to the gym to work out and hang out with his friends. The more time they spent together…a friendship grew until feelings became more than friends. Things started to change when Isaiah found out what Liam’s fantasy was then all Isaiah could think about was making sure it happened and lord have mercy did it ever happen and it was omg hot!!! They were so adorable together as they explored Liam’s kink and along the way fell hard for each other. Such a great story….highly recommend to all. I can’t wait to read more in the Ace’s Wild series, well done!!!!
This is a FANTASTIC story!! Riley Hart and Christina Lee have written a beautiful story. Liam the smart, gay, shy guy can’t be anymore different than his tall, dark and handsome, basketball player roommate Isaiah. They like hanging out in their dorm room. They have a few things in common and respect each other. Everything changed with a spanking. I fell completely in love with these two characters. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!!!
I usually enjoy Christina Lee and Riley Hart’s collaborations and this is no exception. It is a sweet and sexy story of opposites attracting and roommates going down a road they never expected.
Isaiah is a smart, funny, popular, and outgoing basketball player. He is also bi, but not out to anyone. Liam is his brainy, shy, controlled, adorkable roommate who loves science. He is gay and everyone knows it. Isaiah is protective or Liam and likes to hang around with him.
These two are just friends, until Isaiah finds out about something Liam wants to explore. Sometimes he just wants to let go, and it sets something off that neither expected. Suddenly their alone time is changing, but what happens when they are outside of their protective little bubble?
I really liked the two guys and their fun dynamics and building of trust. I am not usually a big fan of books about their particular bedroom interest, but the reasons behind it were explained well and I could see how it could work for a couple like this. It was a short, but heartfelt and emotional novella that stands alone well. And it’s for a good cause.

I am so excited about the Ace’s Wild series and what a fantastic beginning by Riley Hart and Christina Lee! We have two college roommates, Liam and Isaiah, that decide to explore a kink together and end up with so much more than they expected.
Liam is so very sweet and adorable and I love how protective and in tune with his needs Isaiah is. Watching them learn to trust in each other and grow as a couple was wonderful. I adore their nicknames and wow are they hot, hot, hot together!
By the way, I’m totally with Liam on spiders, and my absolute favorite part of this book was the scene in the pet store. It made my day. A fun, sweet and sexy read by two talented authors!
A fun, drama-free NA romance with a dash of friends-to-lovers and opposites-attract. Isaiah and Liam are both amazing, utterly lovable characters. I loved the way they gradually fell into each other’s arms thanks to Isaiah’s accidental discovery about Liam. Nerdy, still waters can still run kinkily deep… It was wonderful to see Isaiah and Liam navigate their newfound feelings and trying to figure out how to progress from friendship to something more. Isaiah’s bisexual, but not out and struggles to find a way to make his two worlds meet, but in the end he gets there. Loved the epilogue.
It’s a short story, but beautifully written and absolutely heartwarming. Loved it!
