A desperate young father. A lonely ranger. A race against time.

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 twenty-five 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 forty-one, 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 skittish 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 desperate and 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?

Ends of the Earth by Keira Andrews is an age-gap gay romance featuring sexual awakening, thrilling action and adventure, a plucky kid, and of course a happy ending. Note: Previously published as Road to the Sun.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A hunky park ranger, a lonely young father and a spitfire of a tweener. What's not to love? We've got a slow burn, some intense peril, explosive sex after pent-up feelings are expressed and a touch of relationship angst. Win! And, for the record, this epilogue goes down in the Epilogue Hall of Fame™. It was brilliant." ~ Gay Book Reviews

"A real roller-coaster ride.... I could not put this book down until I finished it!" ~ USA Today

"Keira Andrews pretty much had me at "age gap" story and "park ranger." ...This story is sweet and romantic, with a touch of suspense and a nice opportunity to get immersed in the beauty of the wilderness." ~ Joyfully Jay M/M Romance Reviews

"There is definitely some sweetness in this book, a bit of sexiness, some unexpected family drama, and a good dose of suspense. I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it." ~ Rainbow Gold Reviews

"Highly enjoyable for any lover of a romantic, knight in shining armor story!" ~ Jessie G Books

"Likeable characters, well done suspense, and a romance that was meant to be, topped off with a bit of kinky sex and an epilogue that will leave you with a lump in your throat and tears in your eyes, all come together for a superb story I highly recommend." ~ Sinfully Gay Romance Book Reviews

Great M/M romance with a kid in the mix :D

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

4.5-5 stars

This was a great story! I just loved Jason and Ben (and Maggie) and got completely sucked in by their story.

Jason is a single father that works in a factory and dreams of art school. Jason was 17 when he experimented with his best friend and she got pregnant. They decided to keep the baby and Jason was part of that but when the mother died when Maggie was only 6 months old, Jason became a single father. Jason's family is rich but they were shamed by his situation and, thinking they knew best, took Jason to court to try to take Maggie away forcefully. Jason felt he had no choice and so he cut ties with them and has been taking care of Maggie on his own for 8 years now.

Ben is a park ranger at Glacier National Park. He's lived in the area since birth and knows the area like the back of his hand. Ben was involved with another ranger, Brad, for most of his adult life and they fought for acceptance in the park services and achieved it. Unfortunately, their long relationship ended when Brad cheated on Ben and then left him. Now Ben is lonely and kind of unhappy but not sure where to go from here.

Maggie is a very smart and curious 8 year old that loves nature. She collects rocks and watches nature shows and her big dream was a trip to Glacier National Park. Jason scrimped and saved and managed to get enough money together to take Maggie on her dream trip, even if he's not much on camping himself. Jason has spent the last 8 years focusing on raising Maggie and had little time for anything else, especially dating. Since he never really thought about relationships, Jason didn't realize his "appreciation" for hot guys was really something more. When Jason and Maggie go on one of the guided tours and meet Ben, the attraction between the men is immediate and confusing for Jason. Regardless, Jason finds he likes talking to Ben and Ben is patient and kind to Maggie so he's pleased when they keep seeing Ben around the park.

Ben is totally interested in Jason but doesn't realize just how inexperienced Jason is. Ben switches some scheduling around so he can be around Jason and Maggie more and he and Jason awkwardly make friends. They're out on a trail that's isolated but also leads to a great view when the fugitive crosses their path and takes Maggie hostage. It's a very intense time and although it's dangerous, Jason has to go after Maggie and Ben helps him. Let's just say that things are tough but Ben, Jason and Maggie all get out of it alright (if rather emotionally bruised). The feelings between Jason and Ben are strong but Jason also has to struggle to deal with the idea of giving up enough control to get involved with Ben seriously. And then there's also the issue of them living across the country from each other. Thankfully, Jason and Ben do manage to get past their mutual issues and have a reunion that turns into the start of a well deserved HEA.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I really liked Jason. He had some freak out moments but considering what he was dealing with, I think he can get a pass due to brain overload. Ben was strong and sweet and wonderful with Maggie. Maggie was a pretty cool kid character as well. I really liked seeing the interaction between her and Jason and Ben. This story was great and very engaging, once I started it I had trouble putting it down and when I did put it down for sleep, I actually had trouble sleeping because I was thinking about how the story might progress from where I'd left off. Overall, I was very pleased with this story and its character and would recommend it. :D

Satisfying read with lots of inner angst

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2017

Verified Purchase

This was a very good read, well written with a satisfying happily ever after ending. It does feel like I worked hard for that HEA—Jason is a character with as many deep flaws as extraordinary strengths, and for most of the book we're either battling through his fears and demons alongside him, or suffering through the pain and fallout of Maggie's kidnapping. None of those are problematic per se, just a change of pace from the lighter books I usually enjoy. Ben is older, solid, dependable, and an all-around great guy; the perfect antithesis to Jason's jumpy, doesn't-trust-anyone, feels-the-need-to-constantly-prove-himself-and-thus-push-people-away character.

Then there was that sex scene, and I don't mean that in a good way. I love good sexy times, and the books I tend to read don't hold back, but I had a huge problem with Jason and Ben's first time. First of all, because of all the obstacles between Jason & Ben from the start, including Jason's unawareness that he's gay and then his daughter's abduction, the first steamy scene only happens about halfway through the book. My problem with it was that Jason is all swept up in the emotions of the moment, so they go from dancing around their attraction, to him taking it in the butt willingly. That did not feel realistic, sorry, especially for an almost virgin that has only ever had bumbling sex one time, six years prior, with a girl. It would have been better if they didn't jump straight into sex (especially with Jason as the bottom), but rather had them starting off with frottage, or a BJ from Ben, or something more *introductory*. Especially since the next scene has Jason doing what he does best: running away and thus creating a large gap as far as more sexy times were concerned. That made me feel like the author just brought out the big guns and went all out in that middle scene as a way to make up for the lack of action in the rest of the book. I liked the slow burn of attraction between them, the discovery and slow realisation of Jason's sexuality, the innocence. That sex scene spoilt it for me. This is the main reason I gave the book 4 stars, because if you don't mind a character who overthink things and generally get in his own way (but in the end learn and grow), this book could easily have gotten 5 stars.

Much More than I Expected

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2020

Verified Purchase

Wow! All I can say is WOW! Ends of the Earth by Kiera Andrews was so much more than I expected. I read the blurb and was immediately intrigued but the premise. Lonely ranger; single dad with inquisitive daughter; and a wanted criminal- only time would tell, if this reader was truly satisfied and YES, Ms. Andrews did not disappoint.
Ends of the Earth was much more than an age gap MM romance. It was a mystery filled with harrowing experiences and intrigue.
As always, I want a satisfying romance, but one of my real passions is either mystery or historical romance. Ends of the Earth was a wonderfully written mystery drama- not of the whodunit type but of the kidnapping and go to the ends of the earth to save the child type.
Ben and Jason were soulful characters- filled with desire and passion. Each man exuded a sense of worthiness; even if they didn’t feel it at the moment. I adored Maggie, Jason’s daughter and her zest for life and learning. And of course, the insertion of my hometown was a plus.
My only negative- I definitely needed more. A second book? Just asking, for a friend.
Ms. Andrews, you hit this one out of the park.

Another great KA book (an audio review)

Reviewed in Canada on April 6, 2021

Verified Purchase

I have waxed poetical about Keira Andrews before and, fair warning, I’m going to do it again. Ms. Andrews always gives a stellar book while taking me to a different place every time. This time I was in the wilds of Montana.

Jason Kellerman wants to be a good dad. He gained full custody of his daughter Maggie when she was still an infant and he was still a teenager. Everyone said he couldn’t do it, but he was determined. He even had to fight off his own parents in order to keep his daughter. That meant plenty of sacrifices including working a dead-end job in a factory. But if it means he can give Maggie a good life then so be it. And she’s wanted this trip to Montana forever so he’s diligently saved to make it happen. I was glad Maggie wasn’t spoiled but also wasn’t a perfect child. Just an average eight-year-old.

Camping in Montana is cool although, uh, bears. And I can say, having spotted a few on the property where I used to live, they do give you pause. But Maggie’s determined to experience nature and Jason’s there to protect and explore. Things take a turn for the better when they meet park ranger Ben. Ben’s been doing this practically his whole life and he loves his job. His boss who is also his ex? Not so much. And the fact the man moved on to start the family Ben so badly wants? Yeah, that hurts too.

When he encounters Jason and Maggie, he searches for excuses to spend more time with them. Yeah, he adores Maggie – who wouldn’t? But he’s attracted to the much younger Jason. Spends a lot of time in his head trying to figure out how to get some alone time with the city slicker.

Then Maggie’s kidnapped by a dangerous fugitive and all bets are off. There was a moment of two when I questioned Jason’s actions, but his love of his daughter was never in doubt.

I liked how this book was a slow burn. It kind of had to be with a kid involved. But Ben and Jason do eventually find some alone time and then all bets are off. The happy ending was definitely in doubt. Ben’s never been anywhere but Montana, and Jason and Maggie’s life is back on the east coast. Obviously some kind of compromise is in order.

And since this is a Keira Andrews book, I got my happy ending. Sometimes it’s worth taking a risk to find true happiness.

I’ll also do a quick plug for Greg Boudreaux. His narrations are seamless, appear effortless, and are always a pleasure to listen to. So well done and a thoroughly enjoyable read.

Keira Andrews doesn't disappoint, another heartwarming story.

The only thing that didn't sit well with me was that they dove in at the deep end when they were first intimate. That someone who is so unexperienced what go this far is not very realistic.

Another Great Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 2, 2017

I'm new to Keira Andrews, this is only the second one of hers I've read after Beyond the Sea. But I'm starting to appreciate she has a real knack for innovative story telling, bringing interesting twists to tales that might, at fist glance, seem a little cliched. I think it's safe to say I'm definitely now a fan.

I loved all the characters in Road to the Sun, but Maggie stole the show. I've not got children, but I felt she was excitable and fun without being irritating or OTT. Jason and Ben have fantastic chemistry, and I loved their age difference; it felt like they were both just at the right times of their lives to meet each other.

The plot and pacing were unusual; I found myself continuously glancing at the percentage reader wondering if half the eBook was going to be adverts at the end (it wasn't, rest assured.) Once I made myself stop getting anxious and trying to second guess the structure, I was able to appreciate how well the book was actually constructed. The writing was certainly excellent, and the tension was unbearable at times!

I look forward to going back through Keira's back catalogue to find some more gems :)

Road to the Sun was a much more interesting book than I could have imagined!

Reviewed in Canada on May 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

Road to the Sun was a much more interesting book than I could have imagined, and one that drew me in almost right from the beginning. Keira Andrews has a lovely, honest style of story-telling that really enraptured me throughout this book.

Jason’s life revolves around his eight-year-old daughter, Maggie, who is the product of teenage curiosity. Made a single father by the tragic death of his best friend and Maggie’s mother, Jason is insistent on raising his daughter himself and does so tirelessly after being disowned by his wealthy family. At only twenty-five, Jason doesn't expect Maggie’s dream vacation to include a sexuality revelation, and he definitely doesn’t expect it to include a desperate and dangerous search through endless miles of mountain forest as he tries to get his daughter back from a wanted criminal.

Ben (the handsome spark that strikes Jason’s sexuality revelation) is a kind-hearted park ranger with more patience than most adults who meet Maggie. He tirelessly answers all of her questions, partly because he’s enamoured, and partly because her dad is hot as sin and might even be into him. However, Ben wants more than a meaningless fling at forty-two. How is he going to react when the little girl who’s nestled into his heart is taken in a terrain only he can navigate?

And what will happen if the two of them can rescue Maggie against all odds? Can they build a new family together and find a place to call home?

These characters drew me in right from the first page. I fell in love with Jason as a struggling single father who does absolutely everything he can for Maggie. Right from the start, he gives everything he has to his baby girl and keeps very little for himself. He doesn’t mind; his love for his daughter outweighs everything else.

Their dream vacation, a camping trip in Montana, is entirely based around Maggie’s happiness and is very much a dream come true for her. It’s at the beginning of this vacation that Jason and Maggie meet Ben, who enamoured me from the get-go (it certainly helped that Ben is My Type of man) with his patient interactions with Maggie and his instant attraction to Jason.

The attraction is decidedly mutual, even if Jason isn’t quite sure what it is right away.

I initially had worries about Jason’s own doubt around his sexuality, but I was pleasantly shocked by how it was handled. Jason doesn’t really have any reservations about being attracted to Ben, and he just rolls with it and mentally, easily accepting his sexuality as he examines moments throughout his past in a new light.

Once he’s accepted it… yeah, there is definitely some slow-building tension and loooooots of awesome, subtle flirting that is really endearing.

Both of these characters are so lively, and they’re both so full of longing in different ways. Despite this, they seem to fit together from the very start, and I was rooting for them the moment they laid eyes on one another.

One of the main conflicts in this novel is the capture of Maggie, who’s taken by a wanted criminal in the middle of nowhere. This brings Jason and Ben impossibly closer, and they have to work together to get Maggie safely back in their arms. It’s no easy task, however, and their closeness is wrought with tension and fear as they search for Maggie.

When this conflict is resolved, the tension only ramps up as Jason’s past is brought into the present.

I greatly appreciated the way the story kept going after this plotline, and the challenges Jason and Ben faced and overcame to be together. The way that Jason struggles with what he wants roots this romance in reality. With that said, the happily ever after I was yearning for doesn’t feel stretched out or delayed, and comes at the perfect time for all the characters involved.

I really, really enjoyed the steamy scenes in this book! Without giving away much, all of the love-making (because it really can’t be called anything else between these two) is hot as sin and really realistic, which I absolutely adored. The sex is by no means a main player in this book, and rather it shows moments of our two characters coming together in a really, really meaningful way (and in a really, really hot way, my oh my).

All together… I can’t think of anything negative to say. I gave this book four stars because while I thoroughly enjoyed it, it isn’t one I am absolutely die-hard in love with. It’s still a fantastic read, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to read an adult queer romance that will tug out their heart, stitch it back together with familial love, and get them a bit hot under the collar.
