Ballsy Boys #5
Pixie
Everybody loves Pixie.
Everybody wants Pixie.
But Pixie needs a Daddy, and his heart is set on me.
I’m determined to resist him, for more reasons than I can count.
He’s too young for me. He’s my employee. And he’s everything I’ve been avoiding for half my life.
He’s vibrant. He’s sweet. He’s absolutely perfect, no matter how much I don’t want him to be.
I want nothing more than to take care of him, to protect him and pamper him…but how can I start something with him when I know I’ll eventually break his heart? Can I really be the Daddy Pixie needs?
**Pixie is the fifth and last book in the Ballsy Boys Production series. It can be read as a stand-alone, but it’s more fun reading the series in order.

I have been waiting for Bear and Pixie's story since I read the first book. Maybe it's why I'm disappointed now.
I have LOVED Pixie, the femme little cute guy in the previous stories but here he irritated me to no end. He's exactly the kind of person I can't stand in RL; too high maintenance, too irresponsible (how can you spend so much money on clothes and forget to pay rent for months?), too much drama. I suppose this was the goal with his character though, to show that he really needs to be taken care of.
High on daddy kink, low on relationship development, kind of insta lovey....But if you liked the series overall, you might like this one too.

Daddy kink isn’t my thing. At all. Like seriously not at all.
Of course, I knew from the blurb that this is exactly what I was letting myself in for.
So why even go there?
Because this is the last book in this series, and I wanted to see Pixie and Bear getting their HEA after all those hints and so much reluctance on Bear’s part over the first four books.
And yes, I’m glad I read this book, but I find it really difficult to rate because … darn, the daddy kink made me shiver … unfortunately not in the good way. Please be assured I would never criticize anyone for liking what they like, but listening to Bear talking about himself in the third person with Pixie … *scratching her head in wonderment*.
Obviously, I am missing something here. Tbh, I am flabbergasted myself, because I do like Dom/sub relationships a lot, and it’s not that dissimilar???
What got me most here, strangely enough, is Bear’s back story and his work at the hospice. I cried. This really grabbed my heart and is very well done!
It was also gratifying seeing all the Ballsy boys getting their VERY happy ending. There’s maybe a touch too much sugar-coating going on here, but it was in the parameters of bearable and I enjoyed seeing all the boys settled and happy.
This was a fun series all in all, and having the timelines of the 5 stories overlap is an interesting touch. All the hot sex didn’t hurt either!
And if you ever wondered why people go for an age gap relationship - I think you will find some very good answers here! Loved Pixie's reasoning!
However, how the heck do I rate this?
I was almost contemplating giving it a ‘no rate’. But maybe that’s not fair either. So:
Daddy kink: 0 (if this is a kink you love, I would definitely recommend Pixie to you!)
Bear’s story: 4,5
Pixie’s story: 3
Plot: 3
Which ends up as a solid 3 in my books.
Have fun with this series!

I really disliked how every book in this series took place concurrently, there are scenes which we see in several books from different POVs. I was so bummed when I started this book and realized it starts before book 1 starts.
Also I have no clue what happened to Pixie in this book, I liked him in the others but now he seems so clueless and immature, he really forgot to pay his rent for three months?

So many mixed feelings about this one.
I loved the push and pull between Bear and Pixie.
I didn't like the Daddy Kink.
I'm sad this is the last one.
I'm happy there's a spin off series.
The epilogue was bittersweet as they usually are for me since I know I'm saying goodbye.
I have simply loved this series. 5 stars for the series as a whole.

Pixie and his Daddy Bear
2.5 stars
First things first, proposing at someone else's wedding without permission is not cool lol
Second, I didn't really expect to have to wait to 75% of the book before these two got together. I know there was going to be push and pull but come on! Lol
Overall, it was just an okay book. I did like the side story with Travis.

A bit disappointing. This had the potential to be the best in the series but I didn’t buy Bear’s reason for wanting to stay away from Pixie. Bummer.

Perfectly ends this outstanding series
4.5*
I've been waiting for Pixie and Bear since this series began and it was so much worth the wait but not a perfect ending.
When you find yourself tearing up at the fate of a character you've only just met, but who is filled with such incredible detail, you know you're in for a ride.
Bear is a real daddy, not just in the kink sense but in his inbuilt need to look after all the guys at his porn studio, he's kind, supporting and also emotionally crippled by a traumatic experience which saw him close his heart after losing his lover when he was just 18.
This book cautiously and respectfully deals with that horrific time in the 1980s when no one knew what was killing mostly gay men in the US and elsewhere and it gives depth to Bear's character.
Pixie, on the other hand might be young, but he's not naive and he knows exactly what he wants, and that is Bear to be his daddy.
This is, consider the subject matter, a relatively low angst narrative which focuses its tension on the stubbornness of Bear to admit that he wants Pixie and the scene which brings him enlightenment had me tearing up.
It was wonderful to see the whole Ballsy Boys cast and crew and hopefully get an introduction to a spin off series with a new porn studio focusing on kink.
But it also had a strangely paced narrative with everything happening between them in the last quarter of the book!
Overall though it was an enjoyable read and I've loved the series as a whole, Tank & Brewer remain my favourites.

Pixie's story was a bit more serious than I expected. Boy was Bear stubborn, but Pixie meets his stubbornness with a determination to get what he wants. Wow did he ever have to work for it!
The daddy kink worked for me and when these two finally got their act together they were smoking hot. The epilogue was an all-encompassing super sweet wrap up of all the boys' stories.
This was overall a very enjoyable series and I'm looking forward to the apparent Kinky Boys spin-off with Byron, who was a blast in his first appearance in this series.

Read this book as part of the 2019 Members' Choice Awards Challenge.
Categories: Best BDSM/Kink/Fetish, Best Sex Industry (Rent Boy/Escort/Adult Model/Porn Actor)
This was probably the least enjoyable book in the series to me. It wasn't because of the Daddy kink, I went in fully aware of that and with expectations set. I just liked Pixie more in other books than in this one, and I think Bear's drama seemed kind of forced. 2.5 stars

4.5 stars - loved this !!! Almost a 5 but I was sick of Bears waffling on about the age gap and dying to soon, he went over this way too often. Pixie was adorable and just wanted a Daddy. He was firmly fixed on Bear and he was persistent. Bear seriously loved Pixie but found reasons to pull away, purely out of his own fears. Loved the input from the Ballsy Boys in breaking up the vibe and adding humor. Really enjoyed this.

3.5 slightly disappointing stars 😕
I adored Pixie. He’s truly the reason I wanted to read this book so badly. It was obvious from the start that he was special. I hate to say that I was a bit disappointed. I didn’t expect the relationship to be automatic sunshine and roses, but I didn’t expect so much back and forth between them. Bear was blowing so hot and cold. He was hurting Pixie, and I did not like that at all. IMO, Bear took too long to get his head out of his ass. I just don’t like when I’m still questioning a relationship well into the book. My anxiety just runs too high for that, and honestly Pixie deserved better.
I will admit that I was not expecting the somewhat somber, heaviness of some of the storyline. I’m not really sure why, since the other books in the series had some angst. I guess it hit me a bit harder than the other books because of personal experience. It hurt and brought up painful memories.
This was a solid conclusion to this series. It was great to see all of the characters in relationships enjoying solid, if completely unbelievable, HEAs.

The final book in the Ballsy Boys series and it's finally Pixie's story! I've been looking forward to his story since he was first introduced and we saw that he and Bear, the owner of the company, had a spark together.
This book fills in what's going on with Pixie and Bear throughout the rest of the series, and it was great getting to see what was happening from their side of things.
I was a bit surprised at how heavy this book was with Bear's past, his volunteering on his off time, and how he was just so unable to move on and find love again. I loved his friendship with Travis, although it made me a bit weepy at the end there, and I love that he was the push to get Bear moving again.
Also enjoyed the setup for the next series, definitely looking forward to Kinky Boys!

I mean, it was alright. Felt like I spent the entire book waiting for Bear to get his head out of his ass. I think the daddy kink could’ve been done better to make it feel more authentic, but that’s just me.

Cudo! Warto było czekać na Pixiaka i Papcia Misia ♥

i knew i would love this and i was right.
my only little complaint is that it’s slow burnish. i wanted them together way sooner. but it worked fine.

Bear didn’t deserve Pixie after all he did to that cutie... but who can understand love/lust?
Certainly not me! More thorough review to come when I feel like it

Worth the Wait
I feel like I've been waiting forever for Pixie and Bear's story and I can say with 100% certainty that it was worth EVERY second. As the final book in the Ballsy Boys series I had huge expectations for Pixie and not only were they met, they were exceeded. From the other books we know that Pixie and Bear have some major chemistry but until now we didn't know what was holding them back. The story behind the scenes is heartbreaking and several times I nearly cried. At the same time Pixie has the perfect bratty sense of humor and I laughed more times than I can count. This book is H.O.T. A certain Daddy might have even come out of retirement to film a scene with his boy! *wink wink* One of my favorite elements (besides the hot Daddy/boy thing) is that the whole gang is together in this book. The authors did a fantastic job of circling back around and giving more insight into all the previous Ballsy Boys and their men. I am a major sucker for a happy ending and there were happy ever afters all around. I am also ecstatic about what's next! A little something for the kinkier readers- I'm pretty sure we're going to love the Kinky Boys just as much! ❤️

E con questo si conclude la serie dei Ballsy Boys. Mi aspettavo di più da Pixie e Bear. L’inizio l’ho trovato…così così! Sarà che avevo già intravisto alcune delle loro dinamiche negli altri libri, quindi magari rileggere la loro storia dall’inizio è stato un po’ noioso. Le argomentazioni con cui Bear all’inizio respinge Pixie le ho trovate senza senso, anche se poi ammette che erano solo delle scuse.
Mi è piaciuto molto il finale con i vari protagonisti degli altri libri tutti belli accasati. Un tre stelle e 1/2 per il libro ma quattro stelle piene per la serie!!!

Ich denke über Travis' letzte Worte an mich nach, während ich in meinem Auto sitze, das ganz von allein zu Pixies Wohnung fährt. „Du bist so sehr auf die Gefahr des Sterbens fixiert, Bear, dass du vergisst zu leben.
🥺❤️🩹

Hab mich wahnsinnig gefreut, dass die beiden nach ihrem hin und her auch endlich ihr Happy End bekommen haben… aber diesmal war die Story mir doch ein wenig zu Sexlastig.
Travis 😢🤍

Todo quel que esperaba omo "agua de mayo" el libro de Pixie se van a llevar un chasco mayúsculo.
Los dos en MC que en libros anteriores parecían super interesantes en este libro pasan a ser sosos, muy sosos y además l libro se acaba haciendo largo porque realmente no pasa nada que no hayas leído anteriormente.
Creo que la serie no da más de si y la está alargando por alargar, ya al final nos introduce a otro ... Qué miedo!!!

4 stars for this story, but 5 stars for the series as a whole. Daddy kink is definitely not my thing, but happy to see Pixie get his HEA, and fist bumps 👊👊 to Bear for finally removing his head from his nether regions 😉. All the loose ends came together, and several engagements/weddings were about to/had already taken place by the end. Possible spin-off series 'Kinky Boys'?? Seems as though most of our Ballsy Boys are moving on...

Pixie is the fifth and final book in K.M. Neuhold and Nora Phoenix's co-written Ballsy Boys series. It's a MM age gap romance and can be read as a standalone, but the series is much better read in order. It's told from a first person dual point of view and has a guaranteed happily ever after.
Pixie looks at Heart, then bats his eyelashes. “I’m not a fucking elf,” he says, his face all innocence. “I’m a bottoming elf.”
We've been teased with Pixie and Bear's love story since Rebel, and although I was excited to see these two get their happily ever after, I was a little bit disappointed. This series got off to a strong start with Heart being my favourite in the series, but I do think Campy and Pixie fell a little short.
As with the other books, this story takes place at the same time as the others, we just get the events from Bear and Pixie's perspective. I do enjoy this method of setting and plotting a series! It's hard to put my finger on it, but Bear and Pixie just felt a little lacklustre. Perhaps it's because we've been teased with them for the first four books? I'm not really sure. Both characters were frustrating in their own way. Bear was so stubborn that at times I wanted to toss my Kindle (and not in the good way). His friendship with the gentleman in hospice was so beautiful though. He was a very caring individual, and the perfect Daddy for Pixie, but I wasn't entirely sure if he was going to pull his head out of his arse. Pixie was really sweet, and I completely understand why the other Ballsy Boys love him so much! I did feel like his character flipped between strong and independent and taking no shit to kind of helpless? It didn't always make sense at times. His money management scared me a little bit, and I'm glad Bear helped him sort it out.
Overall, this book was okay. It wasn't the great ending to the series I'd hoped for and it left me a little disappointed. I did like the set up for their Kinky Boys series with Daddy, and I definitely do want to give those books a read at some point! I would've been okay if I just read the first three in this series though.You can't protect me or anyone else from bad things happening, because then nothing would ever happen to us. It's part of life, isn't it, the negative experiences? You don't get to experience the highs without taking the lows as well."

I was really looking forward to Pixie's and Bear's story but, sadly, it wasn't what I expected.
On the plus side, there were two sex scenes with Pixie and "Daddy Bear" in which I really enjoyed their dynamic. One was while they were at a convention (mentioned in one of the earlier stories) and the second was when Bear was helping his friend launch Kinky Boys, a new porn studio (and spinoff series.) Both times, the love between the two was evident: the first time, it was internalized since Bear wasn't willing to acknowledge his feelings out loud) and the second time, it was evident by their looks, actions, and words. Very sweet.
But I didn't like the way the story started all the way back to the point where Eli, aka Pixie, was hired. I found the early chapters very boring as they were very repetitive to all the earlier books. I doubt someone picked this up to read "cold turkey" without having lived through those other stories first so all the repetition wasn't needed, IMO. But I was also put off by a few editing issues, principal among them an error regarding the floor on which their hotel room was located during the convention chapter. Within 8 pages, the author and edit team apparently forgot Bear and Pixie were on a different floor from the other guys. That sort of thing pulls me right out of a story and I start to wonder what else is in error. That's me. I know it's not everyone, but for me, it dropped the rating one point.
So, all in all, Pixie is a sweetie and I'm happy Bear finally got his headspace cleared and that they do indeed get their HEA. Overall, a likable story.

It's the book all Ballsy Boys fans have been waiting for and damn it was worth the wait!
Pixie and Bear fully done justice by Kyleen and Nora in this fifth book of the series. It's everything I could have wanted and more with readers having the chance to learn more about both men, their history's, interactions and what becomes of the two men and their undeniable attraction.
One of the best things is that we actually start in this book where Pixie was first hired which happened in book one, Rebel. We follow their relationship as things happen across the series and I find it fascinating reading scenes I've read before but from different perspectives.
My heart broke for both mean on occasion with what they experience, in the past and currently and as it says in the blurb, Pixie really does need the care of a Daddy. Everyone but Bear can see how them being together would be best but he is stubborn and standing by a promise he made.
Kyleen and Nora have given us such a fantastic and lovable group of men to learn and adore. This series is definitely a favourite and Pixie is absolutely the icing on the cake.
Cannot recommend this book and the series enough. I would say to read in order but it can be read as a standalone if wanted.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

This is more 2.5 stars, but rounded up to three stars because I liked this series so much. Firstly, I found Pixie a bit annoying, and this is sooooo disappointing, because I really loved him in all the books (except now, his own). He is vain and irresponsible, and there is not much of the adorable sweetness that I saw in the other books. But at least he is straightforward about his feelings to Bear.
Secondly, I believe that to found love is precious, as it is so rare for two people, whose kinks line up, to find (and then like) each other. So it is incredibly frustrating when authors then think of bullshit reasons to keep them apart, to increase romantic tension or whatever. I wanted to hit Bear with my puny fist with his hot-and-cold routine, because his reasons to deny him and Pixie the relationship they both desperately want and need, was complete illogical. This pissed me off to no end, and even the sweet HEA was not enough to make me forgive him.
The book was redeemed to a sense with the other Ballsy Boys' happy endings.
It was a nice enough book, I just wished more for Bear and Pixie

Sadly this was the worst book of the series for me.
Starting with the hookup Bear has with a random guy in the very beginning, that adds nothing to the story.
Also, the whole “I forgot to pay rent for 2 months (enough to get me evicted), I have many credit card debits and I’m very very sad to be a failure, but I’ll still take an Uber and go partying” was almost enough to make me not finish the book.
I insisted on it thinking it would get a bit better after Bear and Pixie got officially together but it was one disappointment after the other for me (ie. the lack of background history for Pixie, the “big” proposal at the friends wedding, “I’m your boss and we can’t hookup but come live with me and here’s an allowance”)
2 ⭐️ because they were indeed very hot together and the scene their shot for kinky boys was niiiice

Pixie is my least favorite of the Ballsy books. Where he was precious in the previous installments, he came off annoying and super childish here. Maybe daddy kink isn't my thing.
There were some pretty heavy topics that caught me off guard, and I felt like I was lectured for a good bit of the story.

Unfortunately, this one didn't work for me. 80% of this book was rehashing things we already knew.
The book started back before Pixie joined the Ballsy Boys. Um, he was in Rebel. So we get so see the issues with Rebel and Troy all over...sigh. Same with Brewer and Tank, Heart and Lucas and Mason, and then Campy and Jackson. Given we see things from Pixie and Bear's side, but we already knew all of this. We knew Bear would get grumbly. We knew Pixie would flirt and intentionally make Bear grumbly.
Had this book started where Campy and Jackson left off, I might've been ok.
