Ace's Wild #8
Spreadsheets
Can one night change your whole life?
When Jeremy Anderson goes into Ace’s Wild, it takes him completely out of his comfort zone. So, he is in no way prepared for the gorgeous, raven-haired man who walks through the doors.
A chance encounter turns into an amazing night he’ll never forget, with a man he’ll never see again.
Fate, apparently, has other plans, though—plans that seem to include the tall, dark, and handsome Griffin Welles.

I had a disappointed taste in my mouth after my last book. (Yes that is a real thing!) I’m happy to say this little gem got rid of it. Sexy, sweet and funny with lots of nerdy goodness. (How cute were those IT and Star Wars jokes?) This is my first book read by this author and it won’t be my last.

They meet at the sex toy shop !
A cute short M/M romance, that begins at Ace’s Wild sex toy shop. Ace and Wilde own the shop where Jeremy goes to expand his curiosity and maybe learn a few things.
Griffin, IT Tech, is there buying lube when they meet, and inexperienced Jeremy gets overwhelmed and topples a dildo and anal beads display.
We get to see, “new in town” Jeremy grow and blossom under Griffin’s gazes, humor and touches. Uninhibited sexy times plus the friendship gets deeper, too.
A joy to read !

Rating : 4.5 stars
Short, sweet and steamy
This was such an enjoyable read. I love the shy, awkward, nerdy, introvert meets confident sexy man plot.
Jeremy is a self confessed nerd who loves all things geek. He’s predictable and played it safe his entire life. He’s in town for 1 night for a job interview. He goes into Ace’s Wild and that leads to an embarrassing situation being witnessed by the good looking, confident Griffin.
Circumstances lead to the hottest phone call ever before Jeremy returns home the next day. He gets the job and returns 6 weeks later after packing up his life in another state.
Jeremy and Griffin are both so sweet and likeable with amazing chemistry that turns the heat factor up to high! Throw in some fun geek moments, corny IT jokes and a tiny dash of awkward nerd angst and it makes for a really great read.

I don’t give out a 5 star rating all willy-nilly, so when I do, you know it’s real. Don’t believe me ? Check out my shelves LOL
But I digress. I can honestly say I have been extremely disappointed with this series thus far, with the exception of 2 books. To be honest I haven’t read the one before this so it doesn’t count. Anyways - the utter cuteness of this book is unreal. First of all, we have Jeremy who is geeky, a little awkward without coming off as a total idiot. Although he does have a little self esteem issue, man when he lets go ... watch out !! Griffin is the TDH type, sneakily geeky AND, he’s the one doing the pursuing. How refreshing is that ???
Now let me tell you about the sex scenes - YOWZA !! Together but not, there but not touching, and it is freaking HOT. I loved the Star Wars references during sex, call me crazy but they were laughing and that’s just the best.
Here’s the thing - you get to feel the connection, the build up, you get to see them getting to know each other without feeling rushed. The evolution of the relationship is easy, soft. You feel like you get a lot in such a short book.
I knew I’d love it because I love all her books. Now I can’t wait to read the ones by my other favorite authors.

You know, sometimes we all need to step out or maybe pushed out of our comfort zones once in a while. It’s hard as hell, especially when you’re shy and feel awkward. Or somehow being told by an ex or something that you aren’t enough. But when the right person comes along, they bring out the sides of us we wish we could be around everyone else. But it doesn’t matter then, because you have the person you need for you to be you. But sometimes you need to remember, being you is all about you and not someone else. Never let anyone hold you back from being you.
Jeremy is way out of his comfort zone already. Being miles away from his brother and best friend is hard for him, but he’s looking at a new job, which also has him nervous as hell. His brother is riding his case about him taking a chance and doing something new instead of the same old “boring” stuff and to prove his brother wrong that he could do it, he finds himself outside of Ace’s Wild, where he meets Wilder himself, who encourages him to go in. But when tall, dark and hunky enters behind him, he’s frozen in shock and deep lust. But how can an awkward guy like him attract a guy like that? He’s in for the shock of his life when he finds out how much. But Jeremy has to learn that it’s ok to let go and trust that someone is truly interested and wants him. He just has to believe in himself.
The way these two meet is the funniest thing. Jeremy is so scared of disappointing a man because he feels so nerdy and awkward, but he doesn’t realize how much he has to offer. He’s funny, smart, with a quick wit and sense of humor. And according to Griffin, sexy as hell. Who cares if he’s a sci-fi nut. Everyone has their thing. But what’s funny is Griffin is into stuff like Jeremy is and loves that side of Jeremy as much as everything else. The comments, the snark back and forth, and the corny, puny pick up lines, cause for a lot of laughs and for a relationship that has the bones of being something really great. Their chemistry is off the charts and Griffin brings out something in Jeremy he was always afraid to voice. And now he can be himself totally with the man of his dreams. If he just learns to let go and be himself. And accept that he’s more than what he thinks he is. Accept that people see him how he truly is, instead of what he thinks of himself.
This story is hilarious. It’s corny and fun, romantic and sweet. With passionate moments that are hot as hell. I love this story so much.

Nuts about light sabers
I really like the title of this book, very clever. Ace and Wilder are the best, but I do wish I could have seen some flying superheroes. Jeremy is adorably awkward and shy. Griffin is bold but patient and chips away at Jeremy’s reserve bit by bit. I enjoyed their cocky conversations as well as how he always kept Jeremy’s comfort in mind.
Thank goodness for nosy office mates who helped push Jeremy and I loved the geekiness of this book. The IT humor was especially punny, and I’m with Griffin on pizza toppings. Everyone needs a Groping Griffin, and Mardi Gras beads are always popular. Oh man, the things Jeremy says when he’s nervous. Gotta say I thought Star Wars and light sabers were cool before but now, I have a whole new perspective.
“You make me feel like I’m everything.” I think they should behave very badly and need to make lots of new office policies. The surprise romance was a sweet bonus. Griffin and Jeremy are so very cute and wow, are they hot! I’m so proud of Jeremy for being brave and kudos to Griffin for his techie flirting. A sweet and spicy read with a lovable geeky twist.

I'm such a sucker for nerdy awkward introverts who meet confident extroverted nerds who show them that they're valid and loved. Ugh. I'm a softie. Sue me.

Geeks reign supreme! I liked this one a lot. Super sweet and steam galore. The dynamic between Griffin and Jeremy is on point and the sex is super hot. Lovely short story with a sweet ending.

OK, I admit it... again! I have a thing for geeky guys that wear glasses! There, I've said it! LOL!!!
This was too short and totally sweet! Really enjoyed meeting Jeremy and Griffin... they just played so well off of each other and kept me entertained clear through until the end!

What a sweet sweet story.
Loved the shy, introvert guys coming out of his shell, finding his place in the world and with a partner so awesome.
And I loved that in this story the couple returned to Ace's Wild for another visit.
This was super sweet all around.

I think one of the best things you can say about an author is when you finish their novella and realize you could have happily read another 40,000 words! Jeremy is too precious for this world - a shy, adorable geek for those of you like me who love the geek boys. Griffin is the perfect guy to draw Jeremy out of his shell bit by bit. Lots of intriguing and hot scenes - Quinn brings some fresh ideas into the mix with her sexy times here!
One thing I have to say is this - I've read several of the Ace's Wild books at this point, and this was the first that made me really interested in the characters of Ace and Wilder. Quinn tossed in a couple of tiny details about them and their history that really made me want to know more.
Definitely give this one a read - it's a fun way to pass an afternoon!

First experiences and lots of lube
Despite the title of this, there are almost no spreadsheets involved in the making of this sweet meet-cute and romance. Jeremy is in town for a job interview at the local college. An embarrassing, and impromptu, stop in the local adult store ends up in the hottest sexual experience of his life with the sexy, Griffin. He doesn't expect to see the hot man he can't stop thinking about when he gets the job and moves to town, let alone discover that Mr Tall Dark and Handsome works at the college too! Jeremy is sweet and awkward and Griffin is confident and full of terrible puns, but somehow together they just ... Fit! This short book is a serious feel-good story that will make you believe in fate and fairytale happy endings.

I'm not generally a big fan of shorter stories and this author is new to me, but I loved the chemistry and development of the story between Griffin and Jeremy. I've read several of the Ace's Wild novellas now, and this might have been the sweetest of them all. Jeremy's awkwardness was deliciously embarrassing, Griffin's response was deliciously sexy, and the tribute to nerd fandom won't go unappreciated by our people. Recommended!

"Force" Firsts
Geeky, shy and awkward, Jeremy feels out of his league when he spies tall, dark and handsome Griffin at Ace's Wild. He feels even more awkward when the store owner passes on Griffin's phone number and name written on a receipt. After the hottest night he's ever had he doesn't expect to see him again until he hits him with his Star Wars key chain and the Force just seems to be with them. They'll exchange more than data...

Omg, this was such a fun read. I loved every dorky and nerdy reference, the shyness and awkwardness of Jeremy, Griffin's IT jokes and Ace's Wild. This is my first in this series and it proves that you can jump in at any book you like.
I am not rehashing the story here, you can read for yourself. The story is sweet, the characters lovable and I spent a nice afternoon in bed reading.
***I won the ARC. I wanted to read this book.***

OMG I love this one so much! This is another amazing addition to this multi author world. Jeremy and Griffin are so cute together! Jaclyn Quinn has pull me into this one and I couldn't help but fall in love. This story has humor, sweetness and so HOT that I just couldn't stop reading. I love this with all my geeky heart!
November 13, 2019
I absolutely loved and devoured Spreadsheets (KU) by Jaclyn Quinn!! Actually, there isn't anything I don't love about Jaclyn's writing! This book is so very sexy, sweet and funny...quintessential Jaclyn!!! Chance encounter, complete opposites, fate?? Yeah baby!! Jeremy and Griffin are adorably hot together!!
November 13, 2019
Another great add to the series. Each new author's story for Ace Wild is fantastic! Jeremy is adorable and doesn't what he's got himself into when he meets Griffin. Griffin is just perfection and my new obsession. Short read but full of chemistry and attraction. Fun from beginning to end and I only want more from Quinn. I voluntarily reviewed an 'Advance Author’s Copy' of this book.

Just a little kinky
This book was just 72 pages long, yet the MCs managed to have sex three times and have a date with no sex. I felt like the characters got to know and like each other, and I got to know and like them, too. It seems strange to say, but I wish more romances we're like that!

I read it so fast and it felt that I only blinked once 😁
This novella was funny and heartfelt. I loved the awkward meet-cute and what happened right after. The whole shyness that is Jeremy was so cute and I could see and feel why Griffin fell for him. Now let's talk about sexiness that is Griffin and him "bad" IT pickup line. Those cracked me up. I loved how he didn't want to push Jeremy into doing something he didn't want to do. But when they came together - pure bliss ❤️
I've said more than once I love love LOVE Jaclyn Quinn and her writing. I can't wait to see what she brings next to the table.

For a quick read, this story was super sweet, funny and incredibly steamy. An introvert at heart, Jeremy is fairly reserved and shy, and sometimes so painfully awkward it's beyond adorable. After their hilarious meet-cute in Ace's Wild, it seems fate still has plans for Jeremy and Griffin. With his outrageously bad IT pick-up lines, Griffin's understanding and patient pursuit of becoming something more with Jeremy is extremely heartfelt. They're both such lovely characters, and their chemistry is off-the-charts hot. Highly recommend!
November 11, 2019
Spreadsheets is hot, sweet, funny and perfect! I loved the connection and chemistry between sweet, awkward Jeremy and the more confident Griffin. The sparks flew at first glance and only grew hotter.
They truly are perfect together. Their differences complimenting each other and their similiarities forging a wonderful pairing.
I loved everything about this book!

Jeremy and Griffin were totally adorable together! I love nerdy types finally getting what they never thought that they deserved and Griffin pulling Jeremy out of his bubble was great! They have serious chemistry too!! Loved this story!!
