In Bear It All, a young twink and an older bear of a man find that really living again means taking the jump into the unkown.


My review for Bear It All by Deanna Wadsworth


My rating for Bear It All: 4 Stars



Travis wants a hot, older bear of a man-hairy and tall-as his reward for all his studying for the bar exam. Turning to 1NS dating service, he is paired with John, the perfect bear in Travis’s mind. Except John is looking for a replacement of his dead lover, someone closer to his age and not a young man like Travis but things have a way of working out as both men find that this misunderstanding is the only thing standing in their way to utter happiness.



I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I opened, on a whim, today Bear It All by author Deanna Wadsworth. I wanted something quick, fun and a little romantic to let me escape my day today. I was pleasantly surprised when I hit the end of chapter one and couldn't put it down. Bear It All has the perfect blend of romance, exotic locale, simmering sexual tension and angst between the two main characters, John and Travis. This is an author who knows to give her characters their head, so to speak, and let them tell the tale. This was my first 1NS story and the first story by Deanna Wadsworth. This was a short 50 pages or so and the story is a fast paced ride from start to finish. The author does a wonderful job in creating two characters that need one another yet are just afraid to reach for it. This author does an amazing job giving us believable and adorable characters in John and Travis. They were very life-like and had the same hang ups we all do. The writing was tight, story moved quickly and the sex was smoking hot but had an underlying tenderness you normally don’t see in such stories.


The main characters of Travis and John were perfectly written and very relateable. Who hasn't met a blind date and went in their head "Oh no, no way, no how"? But come to find out that they are the perfect friend-lover-partner, whatever you think of and this is what happens when John first spies Travis. He is put off by Travis's youth but Travis is more than a pretty face and with courage, he confronts John and from there it will take these two time to sort out their misunderstandings. Passion simmers between them and the reader finds themselves rooting for these two to figure out they are meant to be together through the book. The sex scenes are tastefully done and very hot yet their is an underlying tenderness to it that had me sighing is delight.


Bear It All is a wonderful afternoon delight on a cold winter's day. I look forward to reading more about Travis and John int he future and hope I won't have to wait too long for the next story. If you are looking for a wonderfully well written story that will heat your blood up and steal your heart, then grab Bear It All and settle in for a few hours of reading pleasure.
