Seriously, who read the blurb and doesn't guess correctly who actually is on the other side of the wall?

Harley is a gay man going to college in Philadephia. He had a roommate he likes, Ryan. An added bonus is the pair of hot guys who live in the apartment next door, Devon and Tasha. The wall is thin, and Harley listens as his mystery man has sex with different partners.

2.5 stars - I was slightly disappointed. I loved the first book of this series (haven't read the second yet though) so I expected this one to be better. There were some formatting problems on the Kindle edition that really pulled me out of the story, and I was a little bit sceptical about the whole 'I'm in love with Devon' issue from the start (although that was cleared up a little by the end). Not bad, really, just not as good as I'd hoped.

A case of mistaken identity is the theme in this installment. Harley is a young gay man with the hope of maybe just maybe finding a boyfriend and experiencing the things other men his age are. His infatuation with his neighbor goes from bad to worse when said neighbor falls for his roommate. It was saddening at first the pain poor Harley was going through but his crushes roommate, Tasha, swoops in to ease the heartache. As the reader I knew where this story was leading and at times I wanted to r...more
Loved the interaction between the two. So funny.
This is my favorite out of the whole series! Oh man, I actually cried a bit!
I love the little twists Ms. Pike has in her stories. In this one I felt so bad for Harley. My heart kept clenching for the torture he was being put through. Devon, the man he shared a few intimate moments with, is dating his roommate and how horrible is that? Harley's so devastated when he realizes the man he's fallen in love with is dating his friend.

3.5 stars. The Walls Have Ears, Erica Pike’s third installment of her College Fun and Gays series, explores the awkwardness and insecurities that often accompany the dreaded first foray into the uncertain dating scene. It is a cute story about a misunderstanding about who exactly Harley Santos has been sharing some very intimate moments with. Please click HERE to read my review in its entirety.

So, it's a bit fluffy, and has some dumb bits (see that last really negative review). Those parts are why it's knocked down a star, but only that much because I didn't find them distracting. But it is an m/m short story. It accomplishes for what it is: it is short, cute, fun, erotic and a page turner. It was enjoyable, so I don't are if it was a completely real masterpiece.

The third story is a bit longer than the previous titles. It has a funny set-up and a cute protagonist. There’s a lot of misunderstandings and mix-ups going on between Harley, his roommate Ryan and the two college boys that stay in the room next door. It’s not like the mystery of who is who isn’t evident to the reader far before Harley clues in on the misunderstandings, but it’s still an entertaining ‘dance’ to watch.

Cute short about a shy college freshman , who sort of has a 'jerk-off relationship' with his next door neighbor.
Of course there is confusion to who is who, and poor Harley has some issues and Tasha is almost too good to be true!
I kept trying to see what he saw in Harley, but all in all it was a sweet cute story with a bit of immaturity from the MC.

A super cute story about a mousy Portuguese college freshman falling in love with the man who lives on the other side of his wall, only to fall into heartbreak when his wall-mate falls in love with his roommate instead of him.
I did guess the plot pretty quickly, it is fairly obvious, but the humor and charm of Harley and Tasha made up for it. I ended up enjoying this story more than either of the previous stories, although I liked those as well.

This was a fun read! Laughing out loud at times, although I totally felt with Harley and his insecurities. I'm glad that I gave this author another try after the disappointing - at least for me - novel by her I read last. This story was cute, although for me it would have been better if it had ended several pages earlier.

3 1/2 stars This was light, fluffy read with sexy scenes thrown in. There's the case of mistaken crush identity. The formatting was bad on my Kindle, the author's name kept cutting into the paragraph along with page numbers. There were a few typos but it did not distract from this short story. It was okay.
A cute story with likable characters and a fun ending.
While the misunderstanding was clear to me before it clicked for the characters, I still thoroughly enjoyed this story and the conflict that spawned from said misunderstanding.

I enjoyed the interesting trope of this little story -- two guys in a dorm masturbating to each other through a wall and the identity confusion that ensues. It wasn't particularly memorable but it was a fun little read.
Loved this!!!! My favorite of the series so far. The embarrassing assumption was a bit ridiculous but I loved the sweetness and the sexual tension and the sex was pretty steamy.
Erica Pike has written another fantastic story. I love the interaction between the characters and how the story unraveled.I look forward to Miss Pike's next book.
Very good short m/m romance about a college student who develops a crush on the guy in the next apartment, whose bedroom is adjacent to his...
Haha this was so ridiculously cute and sexy! Ahh the powers of the Big Misunderstanding.
A lovely lovely comfort read. :)

marked it as to-read
Both books are amazing can't wait to read third book of the series. I had to buy these book and it was money well spent!
This was my favorite of the series so far. Talk about a tale of mistaken identity! I felt so bad for sweet Harley throughout much of this story. He falls in love with the guy he thinks he is masturbating with on the other side of his bedroom wall. Then that guy starts dating Harley's roommate, Ryan, so Harley thinks he has lost his chance. I don't want to say more to give anything away, but it was very sweet, though sad, and just as easy flowing and fast reading as the previous two. Again, looki...more
Very cute and sexy read. So far I have really enjoyed these stories from Erica Pike. I really liked Harley and Tasha and their chemistry together. Very hot ending!
A short, sweet story. 3.5 Stars
This is my favorite one of the series so far. I loved these guys. And Tasha? Oh Lord, yummy. And so freaking sweet.
