Magnificent series finale and read from Sean...

Another superlative audio narration from Sean, and all the stars for this, the last read in the BOATK series. I didn't plan to make this my first finished read/listen of 2018, but what can I say...that's just how things worked out. One of my top 15 fave reads of 2017 [and as a series, for me definitely up there with Cut & Run and all of my other absolute fave series], this audio narration will take some beating this year...I already know that. His characterised voices are superb, I cried real tears, laughed my head off several times [Bear's off-topic rants were amazing] and Otter Thompson, I am going to miss you so damn much!!

Amazing

Heartbreakingly beautiful and laugh out loud funny, nobody can play with your emotions like T J Klune.

This is the BEST book series

Read them. Read them all. And get lost in the characters who couldn’t be more real. These books tug on me in a way no others ever have. I just love them.

I can’t believe it’s over!

This is my first ever review and I hope I do it justice.

When I first came across this series, and saw the title of the first book, I was “WTF? It must be play on gay stereotypes in a creepy cheese fest way....” HOWEVER, after starting it, I must admit that I have become thoroughly besotted with the characters. Reading these stories have been akin to a visit with old friends. I have even missed doing work, gym, and rescheduled second dates with hot guys to finish chapters.

I have spent much of the last year laughing and crying and rejoicing with these books, this series as well as the At First Sight series with which this is intertwined. Finishing this book has had a wonderfully cathartic release for me. I’m a scientist, engineer and researcher and I prefer logic & reason over emotional entanglement, therefore am unlikely to gush nonetheless, I must say that I have loved every moment.

I waited somewhat eagerly for the last book to arrive and TJ Klune has not disappointed. Rather more sedate and far less risqué than previous novels, I feel it was appropriately so. I think that the dampened salaciousness of this book, was necessary to develop the characters in a rich meaningful way in order draw the loose ends of the story lines to a natural close.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series in fact, (if you haven’t read any of the books yet!)

Beautiful, Wonderfully Beautiful!

Never have I ever listened to a series of audiobooks that have such emotive power behind the authors words, that such a narrator could give such power to the authors written word... Until Now!!

This final instalment, albeit sad that no more will be written about the Thompson family, as usual, had me to tears of laughter, but more from joy and of course some of the sadness/longing for a dear friend/adoptive matriarch of Mrs Paquinn.

This series of books are ones that I will cherish forever, ones that will come out to play when the mood is right and I thank TJK for that.
This series is by far his best work with the works of Wolfsong etc.. following a close second.

As you may have read from my previous reviews of audiobooks 1&2, I have listened to all 4 over 4 days - I think this in itself says how addictive the storyline is, but the emphasis on:
“Family it’s not always defined by blood. It’s defined by those who make us whole - those who make us who we are“.

Never a truer word written!

I highly recommend this series of Bear, Otter & The Kid, you will definitely not be disappointed, and hopefully, you will see this series as I do and have the fond memories shared by the characters in the series 😊🥰

5🌟’s across the board, (again), from me and deservedly so 😁😁🥰🥰🥰😊

what can we say.. excellent as expected

Was a good final book.. as TJ himself says a good time to end. TO go further would spoil it .. this one is good as not only does it conclude but fills in a lot of gaps. I really enjoy TJ Klunes work.

I'm just sad it's over

Such an amazing series. Kept me company, made me laugh and cry and get to know the bunch so well that I feel I'll really miss them. Thank you for this journey.

Great end to a wonderful series

Loved everyone of these audio books. The characters draw you in and you become invested in their lives. TJ Klune never disappoints and neither do his narrators. I highly recommend this series, starting with Bear, Otter and the kid.
