Oh I just adore Pixie and Bear. Yay for their happy ending story! And what a wonderful wrap up to the series. Fingers crossed for a spin off series. The way these co-authors write these books so cohesively and seamlessly is wonderful
Another great book! Definately worth the wait for this. I laughed, I cried and enjoyed all of it! Everyone, go and read this book! I’m sure you’ll enjoy!
Would It be too much To ask about Kinky Boys? #fingerscrossed
Next to Rebel, Pixie has to be my second favorite character in this series. He’s sweet, funny, and adorable, but he needs the firm hand of a Daddy. Bear, he has to be the ultimate perfect Daddy! Hands down! Once he gets out of his own way and lets go of the past, things between him and Pixie are fantastic. “Yes, Daddy Bear,” says it all. It’s one of my most favorite tropes, and KM Neuhold and Nora Roberts saved the best for last. This was a fantastic series and I cannot wait to see what they bring us next. Kinky Boys?!? Oh, yes, please! If you haven’t given this series a try, I highly suggest that you do. It’s so good!
I’ve been waiting so long for Pixie and Daddy Bear’s story! Of course it was fan-freaking-tastic! KM Neuhold and Nora Phoenix produced not only one epic story, but an entire epic series! They know just how to draw the readers in and make them feel ALL the emotions.
I have to say Pixie is my favorite out of the series. Daddy Bear’s story was so heartbreaking, and brought me to tears. I love the dynamic between Bear and Pixie. Pixie needs the love and care of a Daddy, but has a backbone of steel. I loved seeing Pixie flourish under Daddy Bear’s care. I’m thrilled they finally have their HEA.
This series was just EPIC and I highly recommend it! I’m sad this is the last book in the series. I’m going to miss my boys! I hope these two authors will continue to collaborate and grace us with even more epic stories!
What a way to end the series. I’ve waited patiently for this book, and it didn’t let me down. The emotions, the chemistry, it truly packed a punch. It was also wonderful to see all the other Ballsy Boys, and their men, to get to see where they’ve ended up. This was a great way to end the series, and I truly enjoyed it all.
This is the 5th (and possibly last?) book in the Ballsy Boys series, and probably the story I anticipated the most, and it didn’t disappoint! I think you’d find this series more enjoyable if you read it in order and get to know the characters as they’re introduced throughout. I’ve loved Pixie since he first made his appearance and I couldn’t wait to read his and Bear’s story. This book has daddy/boy themes but no age play. And the HEA is a fabulous one!
Pixie, #5 in the A Ballsy Boys Production! These two authors have done an outstanding work with this whole series, but Pixie, is hands down the best work this duo has done together!
“It wasn’t a mistake to me, Daddy Bear,” I say, stepping out and closing it behind me before I can hear his response.”
I loved that the story starts from when Eli ‘Pixie’ Ritters begins his journey with the Ballsy Boys Studio. How he got to know the men, how Bear was fighting his attraction for Pixie, and why!
“You’re so fixated on the possibility of dying, Bear, that you’re forgetting to live.”
I loved that we got to know Bear better, he’s so genuine and loveable! And his volunteer work, amazing!
“I blink a few times as it sinks in that I just got schooled on the philosophy of life by a little elf, young enough to be my son, using a Disney movie. Clearly, I am not quite as accomplished at adulting as I thought.”
Can’t wait for what more this duo will do in the future!
Love, that Pixie and Bear finally have their story. Bear has a lot of hard stuff he is dealing with but I love that Pixie kept pushing. It was a very touching moment when Bear finally unloads it all. I also love the lead in to the next series.
I listened to the audio version which was well done and enjoyable.
This is book five in the Ballsy Boys series but I think after you read Rebel Book one, you can read out of order as they seem to run simultaneously and not consecutively, which I found I liked a lot. I read books 1, 4 and 5 and enjoyed them all.
Pixie was my favorite in the series though I did enjoy each couple. I did fall for sweet but impish Pixie in book one when he was introduced and looked forward to his story. But it was Bear that stole the book for me.
Bear is in his 40’s Pixie in his 20’s and Bear doesn’t mess with his employees as a good employer, especially in his line of work, should. BUT Pixie ticks all his boxes except the age difference. Bear is strong, real and honorable and I love that about him and his past really adds a special touch of angst too. He volunteers at a place that is going to grab you by the feels so much and toward the end, Travis’s letter to Bear will make you cry.
So if you like Age gap, size difference, Daddy kink(it is so light that I even didn’t mind it), boss/coworker, hot Manlove and a perfect HFN conclusion to a series then this is definitely for you.
Now If you can get the audio. The narration is spot on. Bear’s voice is perfect and gruff but sweet. Pixie is just that it has just the right amount of mischief and the acting is great. Kenneth yawns when its a yawn, says when its a sigh exclaims and moans and groans you get the picture. It made the book so much more enjoyable and my chores just flew by!
Daddy for a Pixie…
I’m sitting here staring at this little flashing line in Docs unsure of where I should even start this review. Pixie, by K.M. Neuhold and Nora Phoenix, is the last book in the Ballsy Boys series. I have to be straight with you guys, I’ve been putting off writing this review until the last minute. That has nothing to do with the book itself because it was great! It has to do with the fact that I’ve come to adore the entire series, and writing this review feels like I’m saying goodbye. Shut up! I’m not crying, you’re crying!
For me, this book was pretty different than what I’d expected. The main characters, Eli(Pixie) and Maxwell(Bear) were great but different from what I thought they would be. Throughout the series, we’ve seen bits and pieces of Pixie and Bear’s personalities. To me, Eli always came across as the adorable, affectionate, and put-together little bottom. Instead, we learn that he’s a little, nix that, a lot irresponsible and in desperate need of a Daddy to keep him in line. On the flip side, Maxwell is fairly similar to what I’d imagined. He needs a boy in his life, but there are issues that prevent him from pursuing that sort of relationship earnestly. I didn’t expect his hang-ups to be so heartbreaking or for it to take so long for him to figure out what he was really afraid of.
I know it’s never good to assume things. I’ll be honest with you though, I was sure that Eli and Maxwell’s book was going to be a lighthearted read where a boy in need of a Daddy found exactly that, a Daddy. Instead, while reading/listening to this book I was totally floored by how deeply emotional it was. I won’t say that it was heavy with angst, but there’s a lot that will kick you right in the feels while you read their story. Now, don’t go thinking I didn’t love this book or that it let me down. You’d be so very wrong in thinking that. Pixie’s story was fantastic! It just had so much going on, and to be honest, I feel that it gave this book more depth than a lighthearted plotline would have which, in my opinion, made it better than expected.
We learn about Pixie’s life before moving to L.A., how he’d been a Boy to a previous Daddy that he loved but wasn’t in love with. We get a chance to learn about the tear-jerking past of Bear and why he’s not willing to start a relationship with Pixie despite the fact that he’s attracted to him. There are a couple of characters introduced that really help to bring the story together. Freddie and Travis play a HUGE part in how things turn out throughout this plot. We also get to meet a guy named Ryan, Travis’ best friend, and I sort of want to punch him in the nuts. But, ya know, you can’t love every character now, can you?
The narrator, Kenneth Obi, did a wonderful job with this book, just like he did with the other four. I enjoyed reading the ebook, but Ken really brought the story to life with his reading. I believe he does such a good job of giving each character a voice that really helps to distinguish each person. He also does a lovely job of really making you feel what the characters are feeling or making you feel the emotions in a scene.
As always, the writing was done beautifully. I’m not perfect when it comes to catching mistakes with composition. I can say that while reading the book I didn’t find anything noticeable that pulled me out of the story. Nora and Kyleen(K.M) did a fantastic job with this story. I’m super stoked that they have a spin-off with the Cocky Boys series.
To sum up this review I will say that I really, really enjoyed both listening and reading this book. Was the story what I was originally expecting book five to be? Nope. Was I disappointed by the story Kyleen and Nora published for Pixie? Not in the least. Would I recommend this book? Hell yes, I would! This story was great! If you like anything by K.M. Neuhold, Nora Phoenix, Kenneth Obi, and/or the previous Ballsy Boys books I would highly recommend finishing this series off with Pixie’s story.
This is the first of the Ballsy Boys books that I have read/listened to, even though it’s the last in the series. I think it is actually good one to start on! I got a glimpse of all the other “boys” and a smidgen of their stories and guess what?…now I really want to go back and read/listen to all the others.
Pixie is beautifully written and he is adorable. He and Bear are made to go together. Their path to togetherness is littered with stumbling blocks, some of which are quite sad, but all of this makes the outcome so much more pleasurable. These authors write well together and the story flows seamlessly from chapter to chapter.
I often read and listen to alternate chapters as I have some hearing loss. I always find that Kenneth Obi reads clearly and at a good pace no matter which character he is voicing. Even the low, growly voice of Bear caused no problem. Pixie’s voice is just right for his character too.
As well as listening to the rest of the Ballsy Boys series, I also want to read the first of the Kinky Boys. I will wait for the audiobook though.
This is a review of the audiobook performed by Kenneth Obi.
Performance: 5
Story: 5
Overall: 5
OMG – Pixie and Bear are wonderful!
Why oh why did I wait so long to start this series? I finished Campy a few days ago and almost immediately started Pixie. What a great story! Kenneth Obi’s different voices in this book are so good. His deep, growly voice is my favorite but Pixie’s is a close second. The various inflections he uses and the pacing are perfect.
While this is book five in the series you won’t feel lost if you start here. Characters from other books appear but you don’t need to have read their stories before this one. Having said that, now I must go back and listen to the others in this series.
This book brought me to tears more than once. The blurb doesn’t mention that Bear volunteers at a hospice center. I won’t say any more than that except that I was gutted in places while listening.
I also felt bad for Pixie, who was on his own for the first time and didn’t know how to handle his finances. I know so many young people who have had this happen and it always makes me sad.
Pixie is also one HOT AS FIRE story and I loved everything about it!
