JACE: Summerset Shore University Book One Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 259 ratings

Tyler

Tyler, a calm and gentle soul, is set out for great things both on and off the field. As the star quarterback of Summerset Shore University’s esteemed football team, he is NFL-bound. With the perfect girlfriend by his side and a tight-knit group of friends who share his love for the game, Tyler is set for a life of success and fulfillment.

Until a new voice speaks up.

Jace

Jace, an enigmatic exchange student from Amsterdam, arrives at SSU with a bang, quickly making a name for himself as the new lead singer of the university’s favorite band.
But there’s one thing that he didn’t have in Europe and hopes to find here.
A family. A place to call home. Deep down he carries a profound sense of loneliness, yearning to discover a place to call his own.

While Tyler King would rather be enjoying life quietly from the sidelines, Jace Janssen is drawn to the spotlight like a moth to a flame. Their paths, destined to intertwine, will take them on a journey that they never saw coming.

Jace wants something he doesn't dare to hope for, while Tyler hopes for something he doesn't even know he wants.

JACE is the first book in a full-length MM trilogy romance and tells the story of a bi-awakening. It’s a strangers-to-friends-to-lovers, medium-burn, high-steam sports and rock star romance.

If you love banter, don’t mind the occasional duck wandering around in the story, and are a sucker for long love stories revolving around the same couple—including shenanigans from their loving, idiotic friends—then don’t hesitate to pick this up!

Due to its large file size, this book may take longer to download

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

N. Boeyer grew up in a tiny country called the Netherlands. She has been bilingual since she couldn’t wait for the Dutch translations of the Harry Potter books, so she taught herself English. This resulted in her pursuing an English education from the age of twelve, and writing stories followed shortly thereafter. Since she was a teenager, it has been her dream to be a writer, and a writer she has always been at heart.

It took her awhile to accept that the pretty boys who talk way too much in her head needed a voice, and her love for gay romance grew bigger with every written word and chapter. She has finally found the guts to share her boys with the world and hopes someone out there will love them as much as she does.

    First and foremost... I read the acknowledgements — and wow, it sounds like there’s never a dull moment in your house! 😄 looks like you won that bet!

    I absolutely loved this book! It pulled me in from the very first chapter. This was a beautifully done strangers to friends to lovers story that had me all in my feels.

    Tyler is the star quarterback of his university’s football team with dreams of going pro. Jace is a talented bisexual rockstar from Amsterdam, looking for a fresh start. From the first time they meet, Jace is drawn to Ty — but Ty is straight… and has a girlfriend. Despite that, a genuine friendship forms, and they start spending more and more time together. Slowly, Ty begins to question his feelings and ultimately realizes that what he feels for Jace is unlike anything he’s ever experienced.
    The friends to lovers transition was heartfelt and beautifully paced. I adored watching their bond deepen and evolve. But their relationship doesn’t come without challenges — Jace’s band, Encore, is about to go on tour, and long distance will test their connection. Still, their commitment to each other shines through.

    This ends with a hopeful HFN (Happy For Now), and now I’ll be impatiently waiting for Tyler to come out in June! 🖤🎸🏈

    The chemistry between him and Tyler are off the charts.

    This story had me going through all the emotions. I cried, I laughed, I just couldn't get enough.

    I can not wait until I get to read Tylers book and see how these 2 end.

    Excellent book!

    This book was just the sweetest 😩❤️

    Jace is the flirty, talented, bisexual rockstar from Amsterdam who starts up a friendship with the superstar quarterback, Tyler King. Their friendship to relationship was adorable, the perfect medium burn.

    Jace is wild, funny and over the top sexy, where Ty is calm, caring and a total sweetheart. I just fell in love with their easy banter and natural chemistry!

    Tropes:
    - strangers to friends to lovers
    - quarterback + rockstar
    - gay awakening
    - college romance
    - medium burn
    - HFN

    TW:
    - mentions previous assault
    - some homophobia/bullying

    Tyler’s BFF Lamar is HILARIOUS and I can’t wait to see more of him in the next book ✨

    I'm a pretty tough critic for m/m books and this debut by N. Boeyer was fantastic. There were a ton of grammatical errors and spelling issues that would normally deter me from rating a book 5 stars but even with all of those issues, the book still deserves 5 stars.

    I loved Ty & Jace. They were sweet, steamy, angsty, and loving. How they got together was realistic without being too cheesy & each character was pretty well developed. I'm very very excited for the next two installments to this series to see where it takes these fellas. All in all- definitely give JACE a try if you're looking for a great mm book!

    Reviewed in Italy on April 11, 2025

    This was a very nice debut novel and I'm sure I will read the following books because I want to know more about Jace and Tyler.
    I adored Jace: his sunshine personality, his flirting, his talent, I loved how he was always careful to not cross any boundaries, how he always asked Ty if he was making him uncomfortable. I loved how his relationship with his father and all his former band drama didn't make him bitter or resentful, but he bravely moved away and kept chasing his dreams.
    Tyler is a sweetheart: caring, honest, humble, dedicated to football and determined to have a plan B by getting his degree. He's a good friend, son and he never acts like an arrogant entitled jock, even if he's very talented.
    I loved the author handled Tyler's sexual awakening and all his concerns about coming out; I loved that Jace understood them and never pushed him out of his comfort zone.
    Things between them progressed naturally, from friendship to love. The attempt threesome was making me itch (I don't like when the two MCs share a woman) but thankfully the author didn't make them go all the way.

    I liked very much how the women were represented: both the ex-girlfriend and the best friend are supportive and reasonable, they're not the usual evil o meddling types.
    Lamar was an amazing character! I laughed every time he was mentioned and his antics are hilarious (I'll never forget the duck pic).
    Tyler's family was amazing too. I hope they will have space in the next books as well.

    What prevented me from giving a higher rate:
    The book is a bit too long and around 60/70 % of the story it seemed like the rhytm slowed down. I would have liked if the tension wasn't all focused on the end.
    Jace is the victim of hate crime that put him into a hospital with severe injuries. I didn't like that he didn't get justice, his attackers didn't pay for it (on the contrary, they sued him). I hope this will be addressed in the next book too.

    I hope we won't have to wait long for the next two book of the trilogy: the story ends with a HFN, I'm way too invested in Jace and Tyler's story and I need to know what comes next for them.

    Very recommended.
