Great bookGreat book like the rest of the series！ Loved every bit of it！ Following dev and lee has been a wonderful rollercoaster of emotion and a great way to escape from daily life。 Ive enjoyed every one of the books in this series and would recommend them to anyone who would be interested。

It was difficult to jump into this book。 The premise of a time skip from Overtime sounded scary， but perhaps most people have some worry about growing up。 So I dove into this book only recently， and it was definitely a fun read。The conflicts don't feel as impactful as those in earlier books， but nonetheless they still hold weight to make them interesting。 Dev faces challenges that will keep one in their toes， anxiety and hope pushing you to read another chapter。 Lee's challenges this time are a It was difficult to jump into this book。 The premise of a time skip from Overtime sounded scary， but perhaps most people have some worry about growing up。 So I dove into this book only recently， and it was definitely a fun read。The conflicts don't feel as impactful as those in earlier books， but nonetheless they still hold weight to make them interesting。 Dev faces challenges that will keep one in their toes， anxiety and hope pushing you to read another chapter。 Lee's challenges this time are a bit on the weak-side， a mixed bag in my opinion。 It isn't so bad after a series full of amazing moments， but there was definitely room for more engaging situations for Lee。The book was a little on the more。。。 preachy-side for my tastes， even though I agree with its messages。 Overall， it is a pleasure to see Dev and Lee once again。 Kyell has definitely created an iconic couple at this point。 As others have said， it definitely has a bit of a。。。 "fanfiction"ish feel to it， but that doesn't necessarily make it bad。 And I'd recommend it for Dev's part of the story alone。 。。。more

I don't have a full review but I'll say that this volume is warm and comforting。 I am spoiled to see my beloved characters aging with me （I am 32 at the time of writing）。One thing I'll note is that Gold's ability to gently unfold characters' thought processes is on full display。 In particular， when a character comes out as genderfluid and starts using they/them pronouns， we see Lee and Dev quickly affirm their gender but also stumble with pronoun use and code-switching both in their heads and ou I don't have a full review but I'll say that this volume is warm and comforting。 I am spoiled to see my beloved characters aging with me （I am 32 at the time of writing）。One thing I'll note is that Gold's ability to gently unfold characters' thought processes is on full display。 In particular， when a character comes out as genderfluid and starts using they/them pronouns， we see Lee and Dev quickly affirm their gender but also stumble with pronoun use and code-switching both in their heads and out in the world， but soon enough it becomes natural。 I think it is a very real and human portrayal of a cis ally's first experiences with nonbinary friends or family， and it is a great model for anyone who has yet to make that journey themselves。 。。。more

It made me think about how far the world has come since the first book was released， and managed to make me a little bit confident about the future。 Which， you know， is pretty hard considering the state of the world。

another excellent read Dev and Lee are in a long term relationship （ I recommend you read the earlier books for their full story， well worthwhile） and here we see another chapter in their lives。 Dev is finally getting another chance at the championship football finals！ but during the intense leadup， they both also have to navigate other challenges。

The sixth entry of author Kyell Gold’s Out of Position / Dev and Lee series opens with a two-part prologue， narrated respectively by the tiger Dev and fox Lee， the former training for the current football season and the latter at his divorced father’s marriage to another woman。 Dev worries if Lee is bored with their relationship， even when the couple makes love， and has in the approximate decade since the previous book established a foundation for troubled LGBT youth。 Dev will have to separate f The sixth entry of author Kyell Gold’s Out of Position / Dev and Lee series opens with a two-part prologue， narrated respectively by the tiger Dev and fox Lee， the former training for the current football season and the latter at his divorced father’s marriage to another woman。 Dev worries if Lee is bored with their relationship， even when the couple makes love， and has in the approximate decade since the previous book established a foundation for troubled LGBT youth。 Dev will have to separate from Lee for several weeks training for a championship football game。While Dev is away from his boyfriend， Lee himself is offered a position in a place called Cansez， which I assume is the Forrester Universe’s equivalent of Kansas， with the sixth installment being slightly less shy about its obvious American setting， with occasional references to the political spectrum， and the issue of Nativism frequently raised throughout the story， Dev himself a target due to his Siberian ancestry。 Dev at some points clashes with fellow footballer Colin， given his homophobic leanings。 The championship tournament for which Dev trains ultimately comes， its outcome occupying the last few chapters。All in all， I found the sixth entry to be a slight step above its precursor in the series， especially given that the author doesn’t devote an afterward to ranting about politics， although he still injects the topic into the latest entry at times， which somewhat spoils the hypothetical escapism of the furry fandom， and makes even more restrictive its appeal。 The illustrations， however， are good， with some being explicit， and a different anthro artist handling them this time。 The book definitely has its issues， but sometimes makes good points; regardless， like its precursors， it definitely has a niche audience。 。。。more

For this book， I'd waited almost a year。 It was a decent read， mostly because it closes most of the loose ends left over from Over Time， but due to this， it also loses the special kind of feeling that the other books in the series gave me。 Still， it was good to finally get it in my hands and read it。 For this book， I'd waited almost a year。 It was a decent read， mostly because it closes most of the loose ends left over from Over Time， but due to this， it also loses the special kind of feeling that the other books in the series gave me。 Still， it was good to finally get it in my hands and read it。 。。。more

I read this book the day it released in ebook format but I wanted to think about the review a bit。 I first want to say I am probably not the demographic this book aims for。 I found this series in my quest to find a romance novel that told a really good football story。 Usually the authors don't know a darn thing about football and cant even be arsed to google it。 So I saw this on a recommendation page and went for it。 I decided to give it a shot and I just fell in love with the characters。 All th I read this book the day it released in ebook format but I wanted to think about the review a bit。 I first want to say I am probably not the demographic this book aims for。 I found this series in my quest to find a romance novel that told a really good football story。 Usually the authors don't know a darn thing about football and cant even be arsed to google it。 So I saw this on a recommendation page and went for it。 I decided to give it a shot and I just fell in love with the characters。 All that brings me to my review of this book。 It's like a 3。99。 The new art style took me a minute。 I liked the cartoon-ish drawings of before。 These go for a bit more realism。 They are great too; I just have a preference。 Maybe this is more realistic to show the growing up our guys did in the 8 years we were away？ Maybe I think too much about that kind of thing。 Lee and Dev are still the same couple that I fell for in my search for a great fiction book about football。 It's nice to see them chugging along and still living their same lives。 They are solid like they were at the end of Overtime。 What I am struggling with （and why I took a bit to write this review） is the why of this story。 Lee is in the same job but with promotions。 Dev is still playing and doing well。 It's always great to hear from beloved characters but what story were they telling？ What is happening that we should all know about it？ Another reviewer said this felt like a coda。 He may be right。 I was just felt like I wanted more to the story。 If this is a set up to continue， I understand we needed to know a bit more about their life now before possibly getting into the adventure。 If not I'm just left with wondering why this was written。 Please don't misunderstand。 This book continues with the excellent writing I have expected to get from Kyell Gold。 The story is engaging and well paced。 I recommend this series to anyone who likes a good romance with their sports。 。。。more

I have a pretty personal history with this series; I read Out of Position back when I had dropped out of college and was struggling a lot with my sexuality， so I related a lot with the struggles of Dev and Lee as they navigated their relationship and careers。 In fact， this series is what made me fall in love with reading again。 Since then， I've read almost everything Kyell Gold has produced， and my own journey of self discovery has led me to accept myself more openly。 So coming back to Dev and L I have a pretty personal history with this series; I read Out of Position back when I had dropped out of college and was struggling a lot with my sexuality， so I related a lot with the struggles of Dev and Lee as they navigated their relationship and careers。 In fact， this series is what made me fall in love with reading again。 Since then， I've read almost everything Kyell Gold has produced， and my own journey of self discovery has led me to accept myself more openly。 So coming back to Dev and Lee in this book was somewhat daunting because I had so much emotional investment in their story。Thankfully this is an emotionally satisfying book。 In preparation for it， I had reread the entire series， so I was refreshed on all the characters and their arcs。 Seeing all the books in one big picture helps to contextualize the series and the character's journey， and without spoilers I'll say that the events and decisions that are made make perfect sense and fit within the tapestry of the story。 And its not just because there's fan-service for long-time readers， but because the story here feels relevant。 This book is about change and growth: how far we've come， and how far we still need to go。 The original OOP series came out in a time when there were no out gay football players， and gay marriage wasn't legal statewide。 A lot of the conflict in those first books revolved around Dev's struggle to be normalized and Lee's desire to fight for gay equality。 And in this book， those issues （for the most part） have been resolved。 But there's a new frontier being pushed for queer identities that fall outside the binary， and new struggles around immigration that don't necessarily effect Dev and Lee， but nonetheless echo the discrimination they had to fight。 So the main issues of this book are about how they cope with these new complications and help the younger generation to handle those problems they themselves had to face。On one hand， the conflicts aren't immediately detrimental to either Dev or Lee's personal lives， so the drama isn't as high stakes as the previous books， which some might find disappointing。 But this book is more reflective than those other;。 Dev and Lee are older and more mature， and its great to see them respond to these challenges without the melodrama （mostly）。 Another thing some might be disappointed by is the lack of football; the earlier books focused on an entire season of games， while this book only has two。 But they're important games， and while I'd love to spend time getting to know this new team Dev's a part of， there's only so much football one can describe before it gets repetitive。 And it perfectly reflects Dev's attitude as a veteran who has been through so many games and been with so many players that the novelty just isn't there like it was。 And unlike those previous books， this one is clearly meant to be self-contained。 As much as I'd love for there to be more stories with these guys， this book does feel like a coda for the series。 And if there wasn't more after this， I think I'd feel okay about that。 Dev and Lee have come a long way， and so has Kyell Gold as a writer。。。 and so have I as a reader and as a person。 I'll always be thankful to Kyell Gold for creating these wonderful books， and I'm happy to add this among them！ 。。。more

Kyell Gold's 'Out Of Position' series seemed to have reached a natural conclusion at the end of novel number 5， 'Over Time'。 That book definitely had a feeling of finality to it， and it provided satisfying conclusions to the character arcs of UFL player Dev and his activist boyfriend Lee。 Therefore， my reaction to news that the series was to be continued was a mixture of surprise， delight， and huge curiosity。 Where next to take two well-developed and well-loved characters， while keeping the stor Kyell Gold's 'Out Of Position' series seemed to have reached a natural conclusion at the end of novel number 5， 'Over Time'。 That book definitely had a feeling of finality to it， and it provided satisfying conclusions to the character arcs of UFL player Dev and his activist boyfriend Lee。 Therefore， my reaction to news that the series was to be continued was a mixture of surprise， delight， and huge curiosity。 Where next to take two well-developed and well-loved characters， while keeping the storytelling fresh？ Quite the challenge。The author's answer is to leap ahead in time。 Eight years ahead， in fact。 For many young men in their early 20s – which is where we left Dev and Lee previously – eight years probably feels as impossibly remote as eighty。 But in the world of professional American football， eight years might as well be a millennium。 Kyell ages his characters realistically， but with subtlety。 Dev's not the youngster looking to prove himself anymore; now he's the veteran， the mentor， the one that younger players look up to。 We sense bittersweet emotions for Dev as he relives his earlier years through their eyes; in any other line of work 32 would not be 'old'， yet here he is， contemplating the end of his time in a game he loves while nursing niggling injuries that take longer and longer to heal。 Lee， meanwhile， has found that professional advancement has brought new challenges that he's ill-prepared for， despite his own maturing years。The Forester world itself is as richly conjured as ever， full of vividly described settings and packed with anthropomorphic species from across the globe。 It's often the little things that bring the scenes to life: a whisper that only foxes can hear， a plate of food so beautifully depicted it practically melts in the reader's mouth。 And if you're a coyote and wearing a skirt， just how should you carry your tail？ Demurely tucked beneath， or brazenly， out in the open， using the handy slit provided at the waistband？And yet， for all of the amazing details， it's relationships that really take centre stage。 Kyell gently shows us that tolerance， acceptance， and enduring love can be found pretty much anywhere – in couples gay and straight， same-species and cross-species， in a polyamorous threesome that's been rock-solid for eight long years。 Conveying this message so effectively is the real triumph of 'Titles'; and if the work occasionally feels like an overt reaction to the xenophobia and division of today's America， well， that's perhaps inevitable， and something I for one find impossible to classify as a fault。Existing aficionados of the Forester world will need little encouragement to jump right back in with 'Titles'。 Newcomers will find a wealth of character introspection and heartfelt emotion in a world of anthropomorphic animals who manage to be exquisitely， even painfully， human。 。。。more
