Divisions

Out of Position, Book 3

By: Kyell Gold

Narrated by: Jeremy Sewell

It's been over a month since Devlin Miski came out publicly, and no other professional athlete has followed suit. Dev just wants to put it all behind him and play football, helping his Chevali Firebirds win their first-ever division title. If only his teammates and everyone else could just let it go, he'd be fine. But there's one teammate in particular who seems determined to make his life difficult...

And for his boyfriend Lee, the past is never laid to rest. If it isn't his parents' troubled marriage, it's an old friend pulling him back into gay rights activism. Lee could make a splash by getting Dev to promote gay rights, but he knows it would distract Dev from football. So he has to balance the pressures of the outside world against the needs of his relationship, and even for a clever fox, that's a tall order.

In this third volume of Dev and Lee's story, the tiger and fox continue to explore their relationship. Personalities clash and dreams are on the line as Dev and Lee navigate their very public lives and try to stay true to themselves.

Great book Bad reading.

I've heard all the audio books for Out of Postion and this is Jeremy Sewell's worst reading. Not sure if at the time had bad studio for recording but just pops, lips smacking, background noise, etc. I know it gets better in the later ones but this one was the worst reading out of them.

Another good Dev and Lee novel

After the first two, it's good to see the story of Dev and Lee continue, an evolution of life from two different perspectives.

Comparing Division Play to the performance from Isolation Play and Out of Position is where it gets a little rough. The improvement that Jeremy had from book one to two seems to have regressed in book three. I don't know if all three were recorded at the same time or if book two was re-recorded, but the performance here seems like he rushed through it like the first book, and while the mic quality remained a slight issue in book 2, it feels worse here.

The performance issues aside, it's not something that would make me not recommend the audiobook. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Great Performance and a Compelling Step Forward

Three books in and I am still thoroughly hooked on this world. This series does a fantastic job of blending sports-style action with a very grounded and meaningful M/M relationship. It doesn't feel like a "chick flick"; it feels like a real look at the pressures of life, expectations, and the complexities of being in a high-stakes environment. The anthropomorphic elements are woven in perfectly—it’s not just window dressing, it actually informs how the characters move and interact with the world around them.

Jeremy Sewell is the perfect voice for this series. He has a great, natural male delivery that captures the athleticism and the emotional weight of the story without ever feeling forced. He makes the dialogue feel like a real conversation you’re over-hearing, which is exactly what I want in a narrator. The balance of "spice" and plot is handled really well here—it’s definitely there, and it's M/M as expected, but it feels earned and adds to the characters rather than distracting from the story. If you've made it this far in the series, Book 3 definitely doesn't disappoint.

More love, more challenges.

Yet another great addition to Dev and Lee's story. it felt a lot slower than the last two books, but that just might be the characters growing and life settling. 10/10

Not bad not not 5 stars

Nice slice of life story. Not written to be narrated. The same narrator is back not only with poor pronunciation, a wet mouth but now with inhales after every sentence. The production is amateurish so if that doesn't bother you, You'll enjoy it. IT flows a bit better than the previous stories. Also if you want to read a lot of sex, this is the book the pants are off!
