Ends of the Earth

De: Keira Andrews

Narrado por: Greg Boudreaux

Jason Kellerman's life revolves around his eight-year-old daughter. Teenage curiosity with his best friend led to Maggie's birth, and her mother tragically died soon after. Only 25 and a single dad, Jason hasn't had time to even think about romance. Disowned by his wealthy family, he's scrimped and saved to bring Maggie west for a camping vacation. The last thing Jason expects is to question his sexuality after meeting a sexy, older park ranger.

Ben Hettler's stuck. He loves working in the wild under Montana's big sky, but at 41, his love life is non-existent, his ex-boyfriend just married and adopted, and Ben's own dream of fatherhood feels impossibly out of reach. He's attracted to Jason, but what's the point? Besides the age difference and Jason's lack of experience, they live thousands of miles apart. Ben wants more than a meaningless fling.

Then a hunted criminal on the run takes Jason's daughter hostage, throwing Jason and Ben together in a dangerous search through endless miles of mountain forest. They'll go to the ends of the earth to rescue Maggie - but what comes next? Can they build a new family together and find a place to call home?

Contains mature themes.

Heartwarming story with a dash of suspense

Loved this one! Once again, Greg Boudreaux did an amazing job with the narration and the story itself drew me right in. It was sweet and heartwarming but also suspenseful and nerve-wracking. I thought the aftermath of the trauma was handled very well and realistically. And the ending was beyond sweet!

Very touching

This story was wonderful. I was so drawn in and on edge. Heart in my throat waiting for the rescue. Keira Andrews is a great writer and Greg Boudreaux does a fabulous job narrating

Great narration and interesting story!

Single father Jason takes his nature loving 8 year old, Maggie, on a camping trip in Montana where they meet park ranger Ben ... and where Maggie is kidnapped by a killer on the run.

I loved everything about Ends of the Earth. I mean, how cute is it to put together a park ranger and the father of a nature-loving daughter? A good chunk of the book is the father/daughter time and them getting to know Ben as he joins them on different activities, including white water rafting and hiking. I absolutely adored Jason and Maggie's relationship and how supportive he was of her love for nature. Keira is really great at writing kids and Maggie felt authentic for a curious and inquisitive 8 year old. The kidnapping plot line takes this story up a notch and I actually loved how it played out and how it impacted the characters. I thought the kidnapping would be a majority of the story, but it's the father/daughter relationship and romance that take on the spotlight.

Jason and Ben are SUPER cute together, and Ben is the man that makes Jason question it all. Not only does Jason have a (well written) s*xual awakening, but he takes the time to consider where he's at in life, whether or not he's truly happy, and the kind of future he wants to help Maggie build. Despite all of that inner turmoil, the guys have a great connection that makes it feel like they've known each other forever rather than a few days. This was such a cozy, comforting, and fun read!

I listened to the audiobook and Greg Boudreaux does a fantastic job, so I definitely suggest checking out the audio. I can't recommend this book enough; it's easily one of my favorites from Keira.

Really amazing.

As a gay man who was a ranger in Montana I REALLY enjoyed this book. My favorite by this author so far. Definitely looking forward to more in store by Keira Andrews.

Sweet story

Definitely a story for when you want a little faith in humanity restored. Ben is the ultimate wish list husband find and the story of how he and Jason came together is sugar sweet. The story starts off harrowing but only about half the book is about Jason's daughter having been kidnapped. The true meat and potatoes is about Jason working through his mental hang ups and struggles. It's a pretty straightforward romance story, but it's well executed. The narration is very well done too. This book makes for a great afternoon read. Absolutely a pallet cleanser.
