Bears in the Woods

By: K.C. Wells

Narrated by: John Solo

The secluded rental cabin offers Jim Traynor exactly what he needs: peace and quiet to finish his latest book, and maybe a little inspiration for a new series. There’s even a little dog named Buster to provide an adorable distraction. Buster’s owners, however, bring distraction of a very different kind. Jim’s determination to focus on his work doesn’t stop his delicious fantasies, but each new encounter with Julian and Michael makes him forcefully aware of the aching desire building within him.

Julian and Michael have built a wonderful life together. Then Jim’s arrival rocks it to its foundations. Julian is drawn to the quiet writer, aware of an intensifying connection between them. Michael feels that same magnetic pull, but remains haunted by the past: They’ve been down this road before. Reaching the end of it broke Julian’s heart, something Michael will not let happen again. He strives to be the strong one, but with every passing night, he’s falling for Jim just as hard as Julian is.

Both men know Jim can only hurt them if they let him in. The trouble is, Jim might already be through that door. If he is, the day will come when he’ll walk right back out of it.

Only this time, how many hearts will be broken?

The 3 bears

I mostly enjoyed this book, but it’s marketed as having more detail than what the author included. Three guy enjoy winter in the woods, and they have a cute dog. It’s a low angst book that ends happily. It’s nice.

But nice is all I found it. Even though though the “main” main character is Jim, I kind of thought he remained a bit of a blank slate, so it was easy to root for him but hard for me to attach to him.

Steam: Medium low. Maybe medium? but the marketing is for MMM extra steamy, so when, after finally getting to the first romp in the boudoir, we jump scenes by a couple weeks, I felt there was too much detail missing. I’m trying not to be too hard on the author for not meeting my expectations since I didn’t commission this, I just expected more action.

Narration: No complaints. I’m happy that there are narrators who treat sexier romances seriously so I can listen to them and complain they aren’t sexy enough.

5 easy stars

I really enjoyed this book and I look forward to reading more by this new author .

Vulnerability & Open to new experiences is why I love M/M romance books

I love this book! The tenderness of the narration really brings home the words. I've listened to it twice now, and if you are wanting one of the most emotionally tender, honest, sweet, books with mature and well developed characters, consider this one. There's no extra words, scenes, or chapters, everything serves a purpose. The emotional vulnerability of Micheal and Julian, mixed with the open to new experiences of Jim, is what I love most about this book. Well done to all who had a part in this short but powerful book.

So sweet and sexy!

This is such a sweet and sxey listen. I love Michael, Julian and Jim! They are so perfect for each other. This is such a beautiful story and John Solo does an amazing job with this narration. He brings so much life into this story and I just fell in love with even more.

Threesome Done Right

Love everything about this book! Excellent character development with realistic plot. You can feel how real the love is 💕. Narration on point. Highly recommend!

Best Bears

I enjoyed listening to this story. Our "bears" were a couple of heartbroken guys trying to fill a void. Jim is a man that focuses mainly on his work until he meets Michael and Julian and then he starts to see how much is missing from his life. These men coming together was sweet, even though there were times they frustrated me. I would definitely recommend this.

Bears, Oh My!

This story is a fun tale of meeting up and finding out it works for everyone. I like that Julian and Michael are solid in their relationship which probably makes them more ready to bring Jim into their hearts and lives. Jim has to take his own risks to embrace what is happening. A feel good story all around.

I listened to the audio version and really enjoyed the reading.

Bears in the Woods

When Jim decides to take some time for himself in a secluded cabin, he never thought that his life would change. Meeting Julian and Michael sparks something in Jim. Soon emotions come into play and feelings are on the line. Will the three find a way to come together or will this chance pass them by?

I enjoyed this book and its characters. Julian and Michael are a great couple and the love that they have for each other is strong. I loved the way they shared and wanted Jim in their lives. It was nice to see the three find their way. Each man has a strong personality, yet they fit together nicely. The three are good together and soon hard decisions need to be made. Love is strong between the three, but can they take the plunge and risk their hearts? I loved seeing the relationship grow and deepen between them. The author weaves a good story and narrator John Solo does a god job of bringing the characters and their emotions to life and I was quickly immersed in story.

Tender & Sensual are understatements!

First, I just want to mention that the person who narrated the book had numerous instances throughout the novel where his voice would change abruptly in mid-sentence which would make it sound very obvious that recordings were pieced together or spliced, and it detracted from the flow.

Now, the story itself was absolutely amazing! I will confess this is my first piece of erotica or romance that I have ever *listened* to, and, despite my previous paragraph, found it quite enjoyable to listen to. I want to simply listen to sexual encounters for the sake of sex. I specifically chose this as my first intro to audible romance/erotica because I was told it had SOOO much more than that... and I wasn't let down in that regard at all!

I found the entire story, it's plot and the emotional connections of the characters so very tender and sensual! There were many scenes and dialogues that made me tear up. Being a "Daddy" myself, I found the daddy/boy dynamics tugging at my heart-strings, as well as turning me on! I wished to *BE* those characters, to be in the midst of their discovery of each other and their love. It felt so real, that I wanted to be cuddling with them, to be another receiving their affection! I wanted to be in *any* of their shoes!

I am hooked on this author. I hope more BEAR romance stories are to come, especially ones so tender, sensual, and *authentic.*

Stunning

Wow what a wonderful story. This storyline was so interesting I loved the way the characters interact with each other they feel so much and even though they have difficulty in the end they come together again. Listening to this story was so exciting and I loved it. Julian, Michael and Jim fit together like pieces of a puzzle and make a great final piece.the narration was spot on.
