These two are just a great writing duo, I really love them writing together. This is a fun, sexy series about porn stars - and the relationships that they fall into. I also love that all of the guys are friends outside of work and I love all of their interactions together. I just want them all to be happy! Very enjoyable, sexy, surprisingly still with plenty of feels (with it being about porn stars after all!) and fun!

genuinely was not expecting to enjoy this as much as i did. the elements and tropes you can glean from the blurb alone often lead to oversexed, superficial plot progression, but to my pleasant surprise, this went down smooth like honey tea.

Steamy and sweet

Rebel is a porn star looking for a serious relationship but keeps finding people who want to change him or dump him when they learn his job. Troy is a video game design student who runs a pay to dump your date business to pay for school. When Troy realizes his latest dumpee is his favorite porn star, he makes an offer that changes both of their lives. Will Troy be able to trust Rebel or are they doomed from the start?

Rebel and Troy were so sweet. Im looking forward to the rest of the series because all the characters were so interesting.

I read this series sooo out of order but it's fine. First off, I wanna say...when I saw the series title Ballsy Boys, I thought it was gonna be about basketball. IT'S NOT. 

It was a fun, low angst read with spice. I really enjoyed Rebel's character. He just seemed like a really passionate and understanding guy. He was really patient with Troy. Even when Rebel realized he wanted more when Troy wasn't ready for it. 

There was honestly less spice than expected but I'm not mad at all. The main plot in the book is that Troy has commitment issues due to his experiences. At times, it was kind of annoying to have him immediately bolt. Like that was so hair trigger. 
A compliment on a non sexual part? That's too much commitment.
Then to immediately jump into acceptance once that hurdle was passed. Maybe it's a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation and I'm being nit picky. However, I feel like there's a possibility of a happy medium.

Still though, I really enjoyed these characters. I think the main attraction of the book for me is the the two of them slowly getting closer. Everything else is just a cheery on top. 

This was just porn without plot - as much as I love Neuhold, I don't think I'll be continuing this series

I totally get that this series is about porn stars, but I have read other porn star/cam boy series that didn't go this hard with the amount of sex. It was just too much, and I struggled to feel their connection.
