Publisher's Summary

How does a guy who vowed not to trust another man ever again end up falling for not one, but two men?

Some people might look down on being an adult star, but this job has been my salvation. It’s the only one that didn’t turn me away when learning about my criminal record.

After being screwed over by my ex, I vowed to never let another man close, but when my sweet, nerdy friend Mason asks for my help improving his skills in the bedroom, I can’t resist.

And then there’s my gorgeous yet grumpy parole officer who has made it his mission to save me. They both seem determined to test my resolve, and it’s getting harder and harder to remind myself why it’s so dangerous to trust. 

Heart is an MMM romance and the third book in the sexy, emotional Ballsy Boys series. It can be listened to as a stand-alone, but it’s more fun listening the series in order. Contains one dorky nerd, a sexy parole officer, and a man weighed down by his past who learns he’s worthy to be loved.

Three’s Company

If you’ve read/listened to the previous books in the series you know you’re going to get all the feels and hot sexy times three very different men fall for each other. But really liked about this book was how real it was in addressing issues of the justice system and challenges faced by people that have served time in prison.

Not my favorite

Good series. And we needed Hearts story for continuity. But this was not my favorite. And it was hard to juggle three pov.
Well narrated. Even if it felt like some of the voices changed half way through the book.

Perfect MMM Throuple!

I loved Heart’s story of finding love when feeling unlovable. Heart is a wrongly convicted felon who is helping his nerdy best friend Mason find his sexual confidence while managing his unwanted feelings for is PO Lucky. Where I thought Heart was going to be the sole focus with the most character development, the authors did an incredible job in developing all 3 characters to people you want to root for. I absolutely loved Kenneth Obi’s narration. He is quickly becoming one of my favorite narrators from his performance on this series! Wonderful all around!

Brought Together

I love the fact that these men each met each other in different ways and started to form some bonds and then realized that there might be something together. It was special to see Heart learn to trust and have others trust him. This was another great installment in the series.
I listened to the audio version and it was very well done.

Best one yet!

Okay, threesome romance is honestly hit or miss for me. BUT fuck this books is so sweet and sexy and emotional. The equal character development for all three men involved made me invested in all three. I loved this book

3 amazing men, 1 beautiful love story!

I loved this story! It is by far my favorite in the series. Heart is my favorite of the Ballsy Boys; he's sexy with this vulnerability that killed me. I love that he gets his HEA with not one but two guys who absolutely adore him.
Kenneth Obi's narration was good. His portrayal of Mason was my favorite.

heartwarming

This is a real sweet herat tugger. I fell for Heart quickly. I liked watching the trio bond and develop a dynamic that worked for them. I really enjoyed the comraderie in the group of co-workers too. Lots of warm and fuzzies here. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator brought the characters to life.

What a amazing Rollercoaster of a story.

I laughed, i cried, i cringed, i got butterflies, i was anxious, i was happy and most of all i was satisfied.

This book was amazing.

So this entire series as a whole right away at the beginning is nothing what I expected. Adult film stars as main characters with fully realized and detailed description of their jobs and work life. I still am baffled how this is working so well for this series.

This book has once again shown that amazing writing, characters with personalities and a good story can really make any setting possible for a good story.

One small complaint is that this book does take a long time to really get where its headed. Luckily some I laughed, i cried, i cringed, i got butterflies, i was anxiously, i was happy and most of all i was satisfied.

One small complaint is that this book does take a long time to really get where its headed. Luckily some Erotic moments and some emotionally powerful character building helps relieve some of the stress from that slow burn journey. Once you get to that end result after following these characters, it's so worth it. All that tension and wondering what is going to happen was satisfying to read.

The romance was so naturally occurring the way the story was set up from the viewpoints of the 3 guys. It was incredibly cool the way the author handled that slow pace when introducing the characters.

Listening on Audible was amazing too! I seriously felt like i was watching a movie in my head because the amazing voice acting skills of the narrator. His portrayal of all the characters is so dynamic, I'm shocked sometimes that its not a full cast because he makes it feel like it was.

Another exceptional addition to this series!

Amazing narration, wonderful characters, and the steamiest relationship make for a huge win! I highly recommend this series, and Kenneth Obi is an outstanding narrator.

a lesson in love

Would I listen to it again: yes
Did the story keep me engaged: yes
Was I invested in the characters: yes

Story comment: good pace, well written likeable characters and an enjoyable story.
I liked that the relationship as a triad takes time and everyone gets an equal amount of love with good relationship's separate in addition to them as a whole.

Narrator comment: Kenneth Obi does an excellent job on the narration. I had no problem distinguishing characters and the rhythm, inflections and intonations all worked to bring the book to life.

Third book about the ballsy boys

Another sweet and hot story by those fabulous ladies. And another story with more. Insecurity can show in different ways and to be able to trust after being hurt can be difficult.

Kenneth as always did an amazing job with the characters!

Fabulous

What a great continuation of the Ballsy Boys series. I love it when existing characters are part of one of the MCs story.
Kenneth Obi did an excellent job with the narration as always. his production values are always great too.

as great as the ebook

The story is always full stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook. I can't listen to an audiobook without knowing the book, that's not possible for me.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. Kenneth Obi is one of the top 5 narrators (so far) for me, I can listen without break and have no problems to follow. I'm just not yet finish with the book, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

Pure MMM yumminess

Heart is book 3 in the Ballsy Boys series by K.M. Neuhold and Nora Phoenix and narrated by Kenneth Obi. This is 5 stars of MMM perfection. I loved Heart and Mason in the previous books, and I was always curious about his back story. The fact that his PO was Lucky is pretty much icing on the cake. The three main characters all have great personalities and also great chemistry both alone and together, which is why I think I felt so drawn to all of them. Lucky is the classic military man, Heart is the vulnerable one with a chip on his shoulder and Mason is sort of a perfect mix of both of them (extremely smart and focused, yet also guarded). The narration is also complimentary to the story, because those aspects of the characters, were noticeable as soon as their voices came to life. I’ve said it many times, but one of the reasons I enjoy Kenneth’s narration so much is that he surely becomes a part of the story. His emotion, voicework and overall sound quality make for a rich and enjoyable listen that truly is reminiscent of a movie.

If you enjoy MMM romance, with low angst and plenty of smoking hot scenes, then I highly recommend you listen to this ASAP!

Heart (Ballsy Boys Book 3) by K.M. Neuhold and Nora Phoenix.
Sizzling Hot MMM romance loved it. This story was well written with a lot of action. The characters will keep you entertained from beginning to end. I can't wait to listen to the next book in the series.
The Narrator Kenneth Obi did a fantastic job bringing these characters and story to life.

Excellent listen

I could not stop listening, brilliant from start to finish. Would highly recommend to anyone.

The Sweet, the Suave and the Misinterpreted

Another amazing book from two of the best authors!! The stories of these three guys are so well told and Kenneth Obi voices them all perfectly. I thoroughly recommend you listen even if you have read the books!

Heart just steels your heart

This was my introduction to the Ballsy boys series and I fell in love with them. Even though m/m/m romances aren't my favorite, I really loved this story. It was sweet, but not overly so, very well written. They take you along on their journey to love.
The narrator did a great job bringing Heart, Mason and Lucky to life.
This story can be read as a standalone but I would have preferred to have read them in order. It's just more fun that way. But I never was left wondering what was going on because I hadn't read the fist two books yet.

Heart and Mason and Lucky...oh my!!!

Heart has had a bad time in the past and fears trusting thanks to his ex.
Mason is awkward and shy and thanks to his ex thinks he sucks in the bedroom.
Lucky likes things in order, so how is he going to cope when not one but two men come into his life?

I loved the interactions between all 3 main characters. Both Heart and Mason have issues that make them feel unlovable and that they’re going to be the third wheel in the relationship. They each help the other, along with Lucky, to realise there is a place for them and that is all 3 of them together.

Sometimes with books with multiple POVs narrators can struggle to make the characters distinct. Not so with the vocal talents of Kenneth Obi. This man is an amazing narrator that manages to keep all the characters distinct and individual as well as being engaging.

great series

I love this series of books and the audio books narrated by Keneth Obi is a whole new way to enjoy them.
