5 surprising stars…
I have a lot to say… okay I saw this one an instagram book people’s shelves that I trust and decided to give it a go. I love Neuhold. I’ve read practically all their crap but… at let me be real here… the porn thing is scary to me.
No I’m not repressed or prudy (look at my reads people I’m a freak) BUT… I don’t like sharing. I’m not a big fan or poly stuff or even the occasion “hey my bestie wants to share you” you stuff. It’s just not my cup of tea so I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about this series.
I’m happy to say after the first book I am very happy. Looking at the layout of this series and the way this one goes I’m hoping most of the guys either are behind the camera by the end or are exclusively together on camera but we will see…
I know it’s not cheating but it still is just one of those things I’m not comfortable with/don’t find fun to read.
Past all that… I’m so excited for tank. Troy and his commitment issues was driving me nuts and Rebel/Hendricks was a real sweet heart and I’m glad they all ended up so happy!!!
3/5 on spice. 2/5 on kink. 1/5 on tears. Silver fox Bear… oh boy… can’t wait for that one.

I love both characters rebel and Troy I love the amazing

OMG! What a blast!! I've said this elsewhere but these two authors took an industry that often gets the side eye and made it human. We all watch porn and if you say you don't, well you should lol This book was fun, flirty and the amount of snark is just too funny at times. But under all of that were two men who find Love and acceptance in an unorthodox way. You will laugh, you will be all sappy and you will fall for the whole cast of characters in this book. This is the kick off of a new series for both authors and they have a prequel that gives you a glimpse into all the Ballsy Boys. If you are looking for just a fun read pick this up.
This was a fun read. I liked both characters a lot and am already chomping at the bit to read the other books. My only hangup is that Troy's turn around felt a little too quick for my tastes.
What a fantastic book! I absolutely adore Miss Neuhold and Miss Phoenix's work so was really looking forward to this and it does not disappoint!
Rebel (Hendrix) is a porn star. He's extremely happy in his work and life apart from not being able to hold a long term relationship though he can understand how hard it would be for a partner to accept his work.
Troy has lived his life alone, foster care since 6yrs old and supporting himself ever since. Not allowing people close or letting himself trust others leads to a lonely life but it's safe for him.
A random meeting leads to them becoming "buddies" and friends, an alien concept to Troy but neither can deny how much they like being around the other. What follows is sweet, romantic and grips your heartstrings as you see both struggle with what is growing between them.
The characters is this book are amazing, strong and deep, holding your attention and keeping you interested right up until the last page of the book. And not just the MC's, the supporting characters - the rest of the Ballsy Boys family and Mason, Troy's only possible, maybe friend - bring to life the world that it's set in. Fully showing the sense of family that Ballsy Boys is to all of those involved. You can see the possible stories brewing for the other Boys and it's great, definitely drawing you in, thinking of the future and what the next books in the series will involve.
Rebel and Troy are adorable and you're rooting for them from the very beginning, wanting Rebel to have that love and stability and Troy the love and family that he never had growing up. When they make a trip for Rebel's parents anniversary, Troy is overwhelmed by the attention and care shown to him by the family and it makes you want to cry for him. Emotion is strong in many parts of the book and I just cannot wait for the next in the series!
I also want to say how well it's written in the book in regard to working in the porn industry. It's not skanky or demeaning or anything like that. It's work, that is enjoyed by those doing it even though for each it's for a different reason. It's written really well by Kyleen and Nora!
I definitely recommend this to fans of both authors and for anyone looking for a romance, comedy, hot page turner :-)

Good start to a new series i will finish. Fun,sexy and relatable.
This book is filthy - in the best possible way but it's also filled with great characters, great development, a well planned out setting and an enjoyable narrative.
There's lots of emotions in this collaboration from KM Neuhold and Nora Phoenix too, the friendships of the Ballsy Boys, the passion of the scenes they perform for the porn studio, the relationship which develops between Rebel/Hendricks and Troy, the familial love of Rebel's hippie parents and extended family.
There's lots of great sex scenes too - from the heated porn scenes to the emotional encounters between Rebel and Troy when "feelings" start to creep in.
The book is also quite funny at times and serious at others. It examines, in a smaller way, feelings of abandonment that someone growing up in the care system can experience, and it also looks in a very positive way (which I applaud) at the porn industry.
I liked all the Ballsy Balls crew and I'm looking forward to reading more of their romances.

I made it to 91% before I completely stopped reading.
The first half of the book was absolutely entertaining, but then Troy became the cliche “don’t want to get hurt” person, and Rebel turned into an insecure doormat.
By 70% I was hoping Rebel becomes single and meets someone less annoying. By the time they decide to actually date officially, I’d completely tapped out of the story.
This book was way too long for whatever shit went on in it, to the point where the six scenes seemed more obligatory than anything else.
