Size matters. Pixies are supposed to be petite, beautifully lithe creatures with gossamer wings. Sporting luscious, ombre pink hair and fluttering pink wings, Phil meets two out of three of those criteria. At over six feet tall, no one would dare call Phil petite. As a home-and-hearth pixie, Phil yearns to find a home and family he can bond to. When no one’s willing to hire a pixie of his stature, Phil is forced to find work elsewhere. Turns out, pixies make terrible bouncers.
The sudden death of Sedrick’s brother and sister-in-law left Sedrick Voss a pack of one—plus two young, traumatized were children. Sedrick needs help. He needs a home-and-hearth pixie. But pixies are small, delicate creatures nowhere near sturdy enough to stand up to a couple of
growing werewolves. Phil seems like the perfect answer—a pixie that might be able to physically withstand small werewolf teeth and claws.
Phil is overjoyed, finally able to do a job that speaks to his heart and soul. But peace is a hard-won commodity. Sedrick is in the middle of a nasty custody battle with his niece and nephew’s maternal grandfather—one of the most arrogantly deceitful werewolf alphas to ever lead a pack. If their grandfather gets custody, Sedrick’s niece and nephew are in for a lifetime of manipulation.
Between the custody battle, noxiously invasive garden gnomes, and fairy lawyers, Phil and Sedrick struggle to keep their home and family safe. Werewolves and pixies don’t mate. Phil and Sedrick are about to challenge that misconception.
REVIEW:
This was a wonderful book about found family and misfits finally fitting in. When you aren’t like all the other pixies. Phil is over 6ft tall, and definitely doesn’t look like all the other pixie’s, he is determined to make his way, but he faces discrimination at every turn with no one willing to give him a chance. Enter Sedrick who is at the end of his tether, his brother and his wife have recently been killed leaving his nephew and niece in his care. He is desperate to get some help but doesn’t think a pixie is robust enough to cope.
Phil is sweet, genuine and so wants to be accepted for who he is, it’s his dream come true to have a house to care for, along with 2 very cute werewolf children. He seems to be always waiting for the other shoe to drop and it all to come crashing down. Worse of all he is crushing on his very sexy employer Sedrick, who is an alpha werewolf but seems unattainable.
Sedrick is a werewolf pack of one, until his niece and nephew arrive, then Phil comes along. He is locked in a very fierce custody battle with his brothers very sketchy father in law, who will stop at nothing to get custody of his grandchildren. Dillon is a joy, very protective of his sister Ruthie, who hasn’t spoken since the accident.
The battle for the garden was fantastic, Phil standing up and protecting the children, enduring bites and bruises in his steadfast conviction that the gnomes wouldn’t hurt the children. It showed how deeply Phil had bonded to the children and the lengths he would go to protect them.
The custody battle was horrible, with the grandfather stooping so low in his grandiose scheme to ensure he gets the children. I’m a big believer that justice will win the day, but it was difficult to think that it would be alright in the end. I cried buckets when Phil had to leave, it was done for the best reasons, but I was so sad for all of them.
The romance between Sedrick and Phil was a slow burn, with neither acting on their feelings for so long but it was a sweet love story that I enjoyed.
