Publisher's Summary

Once upon a time, in a little Texas town in the middle of nowhere, there lived a boy who everyone called ugly....

When half your face is covered in a big, blotchy birthmark, you get used to the staring and the whispers. You get used to feeling unwanted. 

Until he walks into my bar....

Tall, gorgeous, and all kinds of out of place. And the way he looks at me ain’t like no way I've ever seen before. 

Does he mean it when he says he wants to take me away from here? Nobody’s ever wanted me around for long. Can I believe Barrett when he says that’s what he wants? 

Something about the word Daddy on my lips makes it all seem possible. Even if I don’t really believe anyone would want to keep an ugly boy like me forever....

***Pretty Boy is a low-ish angst, steamy, sweet daddy story with NO age play.

Terrific book complemented with a solid audio

What a fantastic, different book. Sterling has been dealt a challenging hand in life. He’s basically had to fend for himself and with a large birthmark on his face, he’s been subjected to ridicule, unwanted attention and isolation. Notwithstanding, he’s found a way to be strong, independent and not wallow in his circumstances. Barrett has been dealt the exact opposite hand in life. He’s rich beyond measure and has a successful career with his investment company, but he’s not tainted or corrupted by the wealth. He tries to give back.

When Barrett meets Sterling, the connection is instant and palpable and the potential Daddy/boy relationship is obvious. Barrett has his work cut out for him making Sterling believe in him when no one has ever believed in or invested in Sterling before. What unfolds is an endearing, lovely Cinderfella-esque story that I was all in for. The story expects you to believe in fairy tales because some of what develops here seems implausible in real life. But the story is so engaging that you can’t help but buy into it and get swept along.

In terms of narration, Tim Paige and Liam DiCosimo do a fine job. The characters are distinct, and there’s definitely more happening here than just reading lines. However, some of the delivery seemed a bit off or flat. I’ve listened to this pair before and I’ve always found them to be a solid narrating duo, but I’ve never been blown away by them. I do think this is one of their better outings. It definitely leaned more into a vocal performance this time and there was definite emotion communicated.

Overall, I think the audio here complements this terrific book well and I wholeheartedly recommend buying the book and the audio and doing some immersion reading for the full experience. I think you’ll really enjoy this treat of a story.

Sweet Sterling, we all have a bit of him in us.

Loved it! Rich characters. I never liked Daddy love until now! Now I get it!

Sweetest most heartfelt!!😭

This was the sweetest daddy /biy romance.

Barrett and Sterlings's relationship was so damn perfect.

This was the most heartfelt and adorable daddy/boy Romance

The narrators did a spectacular audio delivery and narration.

Definitely recommend this one!!

What a wonderful journey!

I was a little wary going into this. This specific troupe isn’t a favorite of mine. Since K. M. Neuhold penned this I decided to trust and go for it. I was hooked from the first word. I loved this book. Seeing how much Barrett cared about and For Sterling was fabulous and brought on all the feels. Seeing Sterling grow into himself and still have independence while being cherished brought on pride.
The duo of Liam Dicosimo and Tim Paige are as always fantastic. They are a perfect fit for and really bring these amazing characters to life.
When characters are “real” to the point that I experience emotions while listening to it is a true testament to the talent of the author and narrator combination!
I am so glad that I put my reservations aside and jumped in with both feet. I am really glad that Sterling jumped with both feet for Barrett!

kinky sweet ❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I always loved K.M.Neuhold books and this one didn't disappoint, it's cute, sweet, kinky and hot to me a perfect daddy & boy relationship. this was my first book narrated by Tim and Liam, their voices compliment each other and are soo good and 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.

Sweet and spicy romance

I read the ebook first and then listened to the audio. I loved the narrators; they did a great job. The southern accent is kind of funny, but not too bad, and it certainly didn’t keep me from enjoying the book. The story itself is super sweet, high heat, and relatively low angst. I’m looking forward to the next book!

I Loved This Book!!

Sweet, meaningful, and oh so sexy! Loved the duel narration, both did an excellent job. Interesting story with likable characters. Highly recommend!

Adorable!

A cute, sweet daddy boy kink romance. Narration was amazing as well. Definitely recommend this book especially if you are wanting a starter book for kink romances.

Sweet Daddy/boy romance

I love this story. Rich Daddy finds super sweet boy in a rural hick town, sweeps him off his feet and they both end up with a better life. Pretty boy is the first in the series. Lovely romance, great plot. Romance is first and foremost in this story, along with self esteem building and intro to Daddy kink with light spanking. There is also a group of friends, a new job, and the opening of a new philanthropic endeavor. Well written. Tim Paige and Liam DiCosimo do a great job narrating this story.

Sticks With You

I read this as an ebook first and this story refused to leave me alone.
Eventually I decided I needed to able to listen to it anytime I wanted, and decided to get the audio.
While I always appreciate having two narrators for dual POVs, I didn't love the narrator for Sterling - his southern accent wasn't convincing and kept me from getting lost in the story.
While I love this book, I don't see myself revisiting the audio in particular nearly as much as I would under different circumstances - or rather, with a different narrator.

That said, the story itself is sweet, swoon worthy, kinky and surprisingly emotional.

Awesome take on Daddy kink

Story: Unsurprising for KM Neuhold, her take on the Daddy kink is both super hot and so tasteful! I love how mature the approach to the story was and how genuine the emotions were! Both MCs were totally lovable and the story not dull for even a second!
Narration: Two great narrators and a very good performance!

3.5 stars nice story

This was a nice story. Didn’t blow me away or anything, but it was nice, and I’ll likely listen to other books in the series when they are released.
