I don't know if I really thought of this series as one I'd have to re-read but that was foolish thinking on my part. Getting to revisit these guys in audio is just the best. I can't wait for the rest to come out! Hurry up!
So much love and man, that end got me again....more

Oh my, my, my. I was already a Kirt Graves fan guys, but wowza, he did a fantastic job on this audio. My first read of this landed it on my Favorites shelf. I wasn't sure whether the audio would live up to my love for the story but man, I don't think I even considered it would make the storybetter. Really, so much better than I expected and I expected a lot.
I just love this story and getting it read to me was something special.
I’ve read books that are nothing but sex and somehow, this book with what seems to be mostly just really hot sex, wasn’t just anSo. Much. Sex.

All the stars aligned for this one my friends. I am in love; totally, head over heels in love with this story.
Somehow this very erotic story about two guys getting it on all the time and everywhere ended up also being one of the best love stories I have read in a while.
This was hot as fuck. Seriously. These guys got down and dirty and they got down and dirty a lot and as I mentioned up there, they did it e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. Hot as fuck.

But it was also very romantic. It was two guys falling in love and it was beautiful. It was sweet and funny but had depth. There was such a great story being told here and I hope if you read this you see it too.
[image]
Truthfully though, there is some serious magic going on here. I have no idea how a book that was like 90% sex ended up being able to add every single thing a true romance book needs and make it work but this book did it and did it perfectly.
So, I put off avoided reading BOatK due to the amount and type of emotions I thought I’d have to deal with. I don’t really like to read stuff that hurSo, I put off avoided reading BOatK due to the amount and type of emotions I thought I’d have to deal with. I don’t really like to read stuff that hurts, ya know?
I finally read it and was a-ok. There were parts that hurt, for sure, but I felt like I was ok. And I liked it. I got why it was a favorite and one that is re-read, a lot. I laughed and I probably got a bit teary as well, but, I didn’t feel driven to devour the series. I didn’t feel like I had to know what happened next or I would just die.
Now I do. Now, after finishing this story. I have to keep going. Up there, when I said I got it, I was wrong. Now I really get it. I absolutely loved this. Like, want to read it all over again but also keep going, loved it.
I don’t think I have ever, I mean ever, laughed so hard while reading a book. Ever. I could even go so far as saying I might not have ever laughed so hard doing anything. I’m probably exaggerating but well, it was that funny. Really. That dinner. Oh my God.
On the flip side of all that humor, all that joy and all that at times, silly. There was pain. My God the pain. It is easy I think, to get caught up in the story, in the love, and again, in the silly and forget at the base of all of that is some serious fucked up pain. Bear and the Kid’s Mom is, and thanks for the memories TJ, the absolute worst. But that isn’t all. Of course it isn’t. It seems, bad things happen to good people and wow, just wow. This ripped my heart into pieces.
It’s crazy to think that on Wednesday I was laughing so hard I had to stop reading for quite a bit, more than once, and on Thursday I didn’t think I’d survive the end of the book.
So yeah, now I get it and now I am reading the next book, well, now. Bring it on, I’m not ready and probably never will be, but I need it.
There is no way I can even try to form a coherent review right now when all I want to do is start the boBeautiful.
Where did this book even come from?
There is no way I can even try to form a coherent review right now when all I want to do is start the book all over again.
Everyone should be reading this book. Really guys, go read this book.
I am just absolutely head over heels in love with this story. Every single emotion happened to me and at times I was just so overcome with joy and fear and pain and all of it just felt good. Misty eyes and all.
The writing was lyrical and visual and I was just swept away and spellbound.
Seriously. I freaking loved this book. L-O-V-E-D it!
So I started this on my commute this morning and then could not put it down. But I haOh. My. God.
Seriously. I freaking loved this book. L-O-V-E-D it!
So I started this on my commute this morning and then could not put it down. But I had to. So I kept going to the bathroom to read a couple pages but realized I was in the bathroom stall with a freaking crazy grin on my face.
Then I finally got to leave work and finished this on my commute home and probably looked like an insane crazy person.
Guys, I smiled and smiled and smiled.
Seriously.
It was a little awkward to feel this good.
And my God, this was hot. Not in a dirty talk, intense passion kind of way, even thought it was also that, but more so in a super romantic I can't keep my hands off of you look into my eyes please I need you kind of way and I WAS DONE FOR.
Lane Hayes pretty much always does it for me, I don't know why I waited so long to read this one or even why I'm a little surprised.
Finally I feel like I read a completely different book than my friends did but this time in the right way.

Perfection, again. I finally got some new headphones and it's the grass cutting time of the year! I can only imagine what I look like out there cutting the grass with the silliest smile on my face and the laugh out loud moments only Jory can provide. Until I'm not smiling.
I just know this will forever be a favorite. Forever. ******* **Audio Re-Read (again)**

I swear I didn’t mean for it to happen!! I just couldn’t find anything I was interested in listening to and had a huge marketing/mailing project for work and I thought I’d just listen until I figured out what new book I wanted to listen to and well, next thing I knew I wasn’t even reading anything and I was only listening and book 1 lead to book 2 and well now…yeah, now I am on Volume 2 but that is a different review space, not this one. We'll talk again later...
So, I am head over heels in love, again with this story. Totally into it and if anything I love it even more this time. So yeah, all weekend, including Friday, was spent re-listening to this story and I never picked my Kindle up at all except to move it from one place to another but it never got opened and I never started a new book at all.
There is no fighting it guys, I should have known better.

------- **Audio**
Alright. Let's talk about this. It's witchcraft. I know I have said this before about Mary but truly, the spell starts here.

I listen to audio books while I work if it is non-thinking work. I'll even listen sometimes in the car if I am traveling farther than normal. I never listen to audio books once I am home. Well, one time I did but normally home means reading a new book not a re-read/listen.
Except for this series.
Oh my God I can't ever stop once I start with this! I think this is the third time I have listened to this series and I swear to God every single time I think I am just going to listen to one until I get something new and the next thing I know I have kept going and haven't touched my Kindle in days! I got stuck in a two hour traffic jam yesterday and I DID NOT EVEN CARE!
Fucking Sam Cage! Gah! My love for you is equal to my hate for you in this one! Gah!
Ten days of sunshine. I don't know how else to explain this story. It just makes me feel so good every time I read it.
The end really b**Re-Read 2021**
Ten days of sunshine. I don't know how else to explain this story. It just makes me feel so good every time I read it.
The end really bugged me this time around though. 948 pages of life and the end wraps in 8 pages. No college, no move, no nothing. Stiles turns 18. There are a few sentences that seem to take place after graduation and then 8 pages of the end. I don't think it hit me as hard in my previous reads but this time hurt.
Where are you billtheradish? Where are you?
Oh, I read the Kitchen Sink today, 10/04/21 but I finished Indelible Marks on the 3rd so that is how I'm marking it. ------- **Re-Read**
Just finished. That was, again, 959 pages (says my Kindle) and eight days of the best and all the ★'s. A day in the life story that goes on and on and on and on and I can't get enough!

I was in one of those can't find anything to read moods and this popped into my head. Seriously, that is all it took. Like magic. Once I thought it I had to do it. I knew it was long, I knew it would suck me in and I realized, I could not wait.

I’ll never get enough of Sterek. I will never tire of reading about them. I'll forever be infatuated with this story and will forever wish and beg if I could, that this Author would come back and write us more and more and more and MORE.

Originally read 11/09/14 - 11/11/14...and then it was deleted.
Still 5 Stars - Still magic - Still impossible to put down.
Here is the original review from 2014...
Ok, down there I promised three days. It didn't happen. But, I did promise no words and just hot as fuck pics. Goodreads style of course. I do have a few words though. So...
Ok, so my Mom doesn't grasp shipping or fan-fiction or you know, any of this honestly. What she does grasp is me finding like minded people in my life even if they live in my computer, or on my phone or even my tablet. She gets this and finds it the most amazing gift. I have to agree with her - (LOVE YOU PACK!). So, she was very interested in this 800+ page read that she totally didn't get, but wanted to know how it was going and how we were all coming along. To make a crazy long story short...
I explained this book to my Mom like taking two of your favorite characters. Whether they were book characters or movies or TV and getting to spend days with them. The feeling when whatever medium it is ends and your imagination keeps the story going, yeah this is what this book did. This book was pages and pages and word after word, some unnecessary, some too much and some just out of place, but pages and words about two of my favorite people, um, characters ever. How can that be wrong and not be amazing? It can't. So, I'll take chopping veggies and herbs and colorful descriptions of Derek's thoughts and sleeping dates and really, no sex and anything else thrown at me to get my boys day by day by day.
So yeah, if you are as deeply invested in Stiles and Derek in a way you feel you need an intervention but would kill anyone who tried it, you should read this.
Read.
Oh yeah. Pics. Remember, these are for my Pack (and you if you are reading this) and do not have anything to do with the story.

-------- So yeah, I just did that. Totally! Three full days of reading. Really. I'll review tomorrow. I need to process.
Crazy ass Buddy Read with the Pack. Crazy because...800+pages? Yeah. Insane....more
