He pushes Dev to use his celebrity to reach out to the gay youth, but only succeeds in starting bigger arguments. When their relationship faces its most difficult test, will their love for each other triumph?
This is the fourth volume of Dev and Lee's story which began in Out of Position and continued in Isolation Play and Divisions. The playoffs will bring the football season to an end one way or another. What will it mean for their future together?
Uncovered Reviews
-
Kyell Gold's Uncovered, the fourth entry of his award-winning Out of Position series, stands as one of his bests. Devlin Miski and Lee are back, and the relationship is even rockier than before with Dev working toward championships and Lee finding his place in gay-rights activism. The characters once again are brought to life in a way that makes readers think back to their own relationships, only making the story an emotional journey to the end. There are less sex scenes than before, and risque images have also been reduced in contrast to the prior novels, but readers will find themselves finishing the novel and craving more of Gold's living and breathing Forester universe.

Loved this book and loved the series... BUT I thought I was going to have a meltdown about half-way through with all the misunderstandings! I feel very tired after reading this story. As usual I wish the Epilogue had been a little longer and more in depth but I also think there is another book coming so I'm slightly appeased. Happy Reading Lynz!

The latest installment has not much altered my opinion of Gold as an author: I still think he's an excellent writer with a sharply-honed voice. Some of his stylistic tendencies (including constant reiterations of past plots and a reliance on a handful of constructions to produce action) seem to me as weaknesses that could be resculpted and overthrown over time, but it's apparent the man knows his craft, and I trust he does what's best for him.
One of the things I noted in the fourth book was how Gold neither eschews the erotic for the dramatic, nor embolden it as the purpose of the story so much as incorporate it as "just another part" of life, a deliberate choice to not fade to black. This approach makes the highs just as rewarding as the lows, but it also seems to transition the series out of its primarily erotica-focused beginnings. It isn't better or worse: just different, and different is interesting to see in an author.
Where he shines best is at expressing the humanity and elaborating on the inner lives of his characters, producing voices, tones, willful personalities, not to mention his genius at generating layered conflict and dramatic tension: whatever minor gripes I might have with other elements, I cannot put down one of the Dev and Lee books until I have reached its end; even then, there are plenty of threads to make me mark my calendar for the upcoming January release of his final installment. (This might also owe in part to my own weakness for romantic dramas.) -
Goodreads does not list the Audible version which is how I "read" the book.
OMG the stakes are so high. Dev's team could make the playoffs, they could become champions and get the vaunted rings. Money and religion rear their ugly heads in this on. Heartache ensues. But thru it all you know in your heart our couple will come somehow figure it out. So true to life.
Very well written and read. -

The fourth entry of Kyell Gold’s Out of Position / Dev and Lee series opens with the author providing a note about the bonus story that precedes the main text, after which comes, like in the previous books, an explanation on football from an animalian perspective, and a map of where the cities serving as the various settings would be in the real-life United States. Brenly, Lee’s father, narrates the bonus story, explaining how he took sleep for granted, spending time with his ex-wife Eileen. The central narrative occurs immediately where the prior book left off, with the tiger Dev en route to film a beer commercial.
Dev is anxious about his vulpine boyfriend Lee’s gay rights activism and thus doesn’t want to commit to doing public service announcements in addition to playing football. Lee himself still has maternal issues, given his mother’s involvement with an antigay group, and Lee finds himself still largely unwelcome in the locker room of Dev’s team, the Chevali Firebirds. A fight breaks out at a game that Lee is involved with, a brief investigation occurring. Dev gets more starring roles in commercials, with Lee eventually accepting that sometimes relationships need distance.
For most of the book, while Dev readies himself for a championship match that his team hopes to win, Lee is separate from Dev, temporarily residing with his friend Hal. Overall, this was a somewhat-enjoyable story, although the references to things such as “Lion Christ” somewhat break the fantastical setting that Gold insists is separate from the real world, and while Gold does make some good quotes about relationships, the commentary comes across as ham-fisted at times. Furries will definitely appreciate this yarn, but it’s certainly not a must-read and at best has a niche audience. -
holy hell this book was good. For not reading it for at least 3 months and then picking it up again, good god, this was a good book. Yet again this series leaves me in unbridled anticipation over what's going to happen next. My only complaint is that I wish the epilogue was a bit longer.
-
Nothing changed from my point of view. For me, Lee is still an idiot. Also, story plot progress is very slow.
-
This series has gotten better as it has gone on. It touches on real issues in an interesting and captivating way.
-
The amount of emotion Dev and Lee show in this book is unmatched. One of the best reads out of this author's books.
-
It has a very good plot twist and a nice final.
-
NO April Fools joke here... this has to be the best book of the series.... well not the best but totally the best.... not the best because it ended at the BEST PART... OMG, thank God there's a 5th book.
Lee and Dev have had SO MUCH happen to them this book... they had a LOT of hard choices to make and made a lot of bad one, but as you continue to read you realize those choices turned out to be the best ones because they helped them both to figure out what to do about their family, friends, careers and relationship.
The book did end at a REAL GOOD part but its good that you know, based on how Kyell Gold wrote his other books it should continue right where the last one left off... I HOPE.
Reading the struggles that Lee and Dev had to go through was hard but its good to know it worked out in the end... they just need to go back to what they do so well... talking to each other... well Dev would say fucking is what they do best but naa.. its definitely talking. -
Another Good Entry
In the fourth installment of anthro author Kyell Gold's Out of Position series, tiger football player Devlin "Dev" Miski's life has become afloat with training for a championship, with the added distractions of commercials and interviews. Preceding the main story, as with its predecessors, are useful notes on football, not to mention a bonus story narrated by the vulpine Lee's father Brenly. Dev and Lee spend most of the novel separated, accounting for occasional tension, with some twists towards the end. As with prior books, one can find it difficult to remember the species of specific characters, although those who enjoyed the book's prequels will most likely enjoy the fourth entry. -
There were two things going against this book right from the start, furry erotica and football. I have no interest in the first and an active dislike to the second. I thought I was going to hate this book. I started out not liking it but Lee and Dev grew on me. I had to overcome the hurdle of their established relationship and history of which I knew nothing. Once that happened, I was really into it. OK, I still skimmed most of the football games, but I was invested in the story. The writing was great, and the story and characters pulled me in. I was impressed.
-
Kyell Gold continues to prove himself as an exceptional novelist. Uncovered tells a story about an interesting and unusual conflict, and does so with literary tension and subtlety. And one of my favourite qualities of Gold's writing, Divisions demonstrates his unique ability to create believable, three-dimensional, relatable antagonists.

Love with angst
oooohh how are you love the angst in this books! It made me tear up, it made me get very horrible butterflies because of situations, and it made me love the characters all over again! -
I'm loving how the story is maturing between Devlin & Lee. My less than 5 for this book is because I just wish they had more contact that a couple of lines during the 2nd half of the book. I'm looking forward to Jan 2016

3 1/2

TALK TO EACH OTHER!!!!!
I'm excited I just realized this was out when the next book is so close to being released. -
Five stars are not enough to express this book. It has nearly shattered my heart. Probably the best one in the series
