Bryson:
I’m a walking disaster.
I’m awkward, perpetually uncomfortable, and afraid of everything. Truly an example of natural selection at its worst.
After a series of dead-end jobs, I’m now working with my disappointed dad as a ball boy for his team of superstars. It’s the only thing I’ve got going for me, even if I know it’s only a matter of time before I fail epically.
Then I meet them.
World-famous soccer players Dalton Cross and Juandi Fernandez couldn’t be any more different. While one relishes control in all aspects of his life, the other takes everything day by day. They’re polar opposites, always butting heads, and always trying to one-up the other.
Somehow they both want me.
Dalton makes me feel safe, protected, and cherished—something no one’s ever cared to do before. Juandi makes me feel wild, free, and courageous—something that was sorely lacking in my sheltered life.
Being with them is a dream I never thought possible for someone like me, but the secrets we buried are surfacing, and I’m worried about what this means for our future together. I’ve never been the main character—never been the chosen one.
But this time, I’m willing to do whatever it takes to hold on to the two things I can’t afford to lose.

Their Ball Boy is an insta-attraction, super steamy MMM romance with one bumbling ball boy, two world-famous soccer players, and the spiciness that occurs between the three. Mingle in a grumpy/sunshine trope, first-times, plenty of awakenings, and you’re in for a wild ride. CWs include but are not limited to mental health representation, emotionally distant parents, and ‘yes daddy’ (no AP). For a full breakdown of TWs and CWs, visit www.addisonbeckromance.com.

REVIEW:

Bryson is the new ball boy for the MLS soccer team, FC Denver. Not his choice, he’s clumsy af, but somehow his dad thought this was his thing. And yes Bryson wants to please his dad because their relationship isn’t that good.

Juandi is the FC Denver star striker, his home front isn’t any better, he constantly struggles with his dad.
And Dalton the captain, yes also family issues.

Dalton and Juandi separately meet Bryson and his clumsiness. Both find him endearing and attractive, he’s so small and they are so big.
So, a thing happened, there’s a sexy encounter, afterwards Dalton and Juandi are quick to say it’s just fun, Bryson isn’t a guy for just fun, but what else can he do.

Besides the threesome bubble, there’s the sport of course, and there are family troubles. In the end, it worked out well for them.

I wasn’t a real fan of this story, I couldn’t feel it. I cringed a bit with Bryson’s responses, it wasn’t convincing and quite awkward. The Daddy reference was another awkward thing, for me it’s a title you earn when you’re qualified for the job.
The whole vibe was on the positive side, with no aggression and with (mostly) kind characters. Bryson’s anxiety was well done. There was fun, a lot of dirty talks, and a LOT of sex.
It was a very light story, slightly developed, it had potential but somewhere it stopped getting more, every page had sex on it, it was too much, it didn’t do it for me, it was not convincing enough to catch feelings. I’m sure I’m an exception.
