REVIEW: Perfectly Imperfect Pixie (book) by MJ May

Perfectly Imperfect Pixie is a m/m fantasy romance, the first in a series. I bought my copy new.

Review:

Phil (short for Philodendron) is just like any other home-and-hearth pixie - pink wings, long ombre pink hair, and desperate to find a home and family that he can bond with, care for, and protect - except for one thing: he's six feet tall. Unfortunately, the only jobs he seems to be able to find are ones entirely unsuited to his pixie nature. His newest job, as a bouncer, is a disaster.

It's a dream come true when werewolf Sedrick Voss shows up looking for a home-and-hearth pixie who's a bit sturdier than usual. Sedrick has recently become the guardian of his brother's two young children, Ruthie and Dillon, after their parents' untimely death, and he desperately needs help, but young werewolves can be a bit of a handful. Phil seems like a perfect fit.

It starts to look like Phil has finally found the place he belongs. Unfortunately, as Sedrick's custody battle for Ruthie and Dillon heats up, there's an increased risk that Phil will lose his newfound sense of security and happiness.

Ok, so this was a bit cheesy, and there were a few typos and misused words here and there. Even so, I enjoyed this a lot. The romance was light and low heat, but sweet. I really liked how Phil gradually became a part of Sedrick's little family. The fantasy elements felt fun and fresh - I particularly enjoyed the part where Sedrick and Phil had to figure out how to deal with a gnome infestation in Sedrick's garden.

I'm looking forward to reading more of this series, even though I'm a bit worried that it'll be hard for me to take Peaches seriously as one half of a romantic couple.
