Summary

"I lifted my gaze to tell Seth no but then I saw it. The thing I'd feared I'd lost. It wasn't hero worship or the wayward emotions of an innocent child. And it wasn't some distorted reflection of a man who no longer existed. All I saw was me...the way he saw me." (Ronan)

Trauma surgeon Ronan Grisham lost everything the day the man he loved was stolen from him in a brutal attack. Driven by a thirst for vengeance, he turns his hatred into building an underground group that can do what he couldn't that fateful day...take the lives of the guilty to save the lives of the innocent. But years later, he's forced to confront the one link to his past that he can't sever.

Seven years after the loss of his parents in a violent home invasion that left him permanently scarred both inside and out, 21-year-old Seth Nichols is trying to put his life back together so he can take over the reins of his father's global shipping empire. But the last person he expects to come back into his life is the man he drove away with one innocent, stolen kiss.

With one brush of his lips, Seth managed to do to Ronan what no other had since the day Ronan watched the light in his fiancé's eyes go out forever. He made him need again. But Ronan can't need anyone, least of all his dead fiancé's younger brother. Because even one touch from Seth could shatter Ronan's carefully constructed world and Ronan knows there's no coming back from that a second time.

But when a series of escalating attacks against Seth forces Ronan back into his life, Seth knows it's his last chance to show Ronan he can be the man the broken surgeon needs. Only the Ronan who returns isn't the Ronan Seth fell in love with so long ago....

Can Seth be Ronan's salvation or will he end up destroying them both?

Fabulous Narrated

I love Sloane Kennedys books, but listening to Salvation gave it more depth. Reading this book is Joel Leslie(who I have listen to before)
This is the Ronan and Seth. Ronan lost everything the day his lover died, later he kept going back to keep an eye on Seth without Seth knowing, that was until Bullet the dog Ronan had brought for Seth stopped him then the story takes of to different past problems. But of course it ends with the happy ending.
Joel put his whole being into reading this book. Well worth listening too.

Ronan and Seth

Loving this series. My heart breaks with what these men have had to live with. Ronan loses his Fiancee and starts up a company to hand out justice. Seth has lost all his family and needs Ronan's love. Can't wait to continue their journey

great

Enjoyed the story.

Didn't really care for the narration, this was the first book I've listened to by this narrator. Voice was too raspy, like the narrator was yelling while whispering. It wasn't annoying enough that I could not listen or enjoy the story but if the narrator sounds this way for the entire series I would sick of it real fast. (In the bonus first chapter of book 3 the narrator had a cleaner sounding voice).

A gripping listen

Well that was explosive. There are no slow moments in this book - it's a tense, action-packed, unrelenting whirlwind. I loved it from the first word and struggled to put it down, gripped to the end and beyond, the story staying with me long after I'd finished listening. I've read most of Sloane Kennedy's Protectors series, and none of them in the right order! :) I'd never read this one though so I went back in time for this and really enjoyed listening to Roman's origins. It was hard to listen to at times as there's some serious angst here, so it's not for the faint of heart! Not many stories can make me properly tear up, but this one did at one particular moment (and I have to skip that bit on re-listens!). Joel Leslie is fantastic - as usual - nothing to improve here.

I've bought book four on audible too, and I'd love a few more (when and if they arrive on audible).
Great work, both of you!

I love this book

But the narration wasn’t for me. I was pulled out of the story and that wasn’t what I wanted.

so much emotion!

When I listen to a book, I try really REALLY hard to write a bit about the book then a separate bit about the narration.

However! Part of the reason I am enjoying these Protectors stories is the narration by Joel Leslie! So I cannot split them!

I'm not a fan of READING first person books and I make no apologies for that but LISTENING to them is becoming a firm favourite! Joel Leslie put so much emotion, feeling so much of the character's very soul into his work, and by god you feel for these guys, you really do!

I have no doubt, no doubt at all, hat I WILL be listening to the others books as they come out in audio. I don't want to switch to reading, I might not enjoy them so much!

5 stars for the book
5 stars for the narration.

Better Than Reading The Book!!

I am going to be totally honest here, and say I loved the book, and I wasn't sure that the audio version would hold me as much as the ebook I have - boy was I wrong about that ! I have actually listened to this about three or four times now, and for some reason it just gets better each time I listen. All the raw emotion that was within the book, is also right here on the audio. Hats off to you Joel Leslie, you were incredible on this audio. This is one audio that I will continue to listen to again and again.

Seth is slowly getting his life back together, since the horrifying event of his parents deaths. However, it seems just as he is beginning to live a more normal life, it seems like someone doesn't want him to do so. Now enter Ronan, who doesn't seem to like being anywhere near Seth - or does he??

Ronan is a total conundrum really. You have met him before, but I have to say I wasn't sure about him. He comes across as a total loner, only interacting when he has to.... but this seems to be just a facade to puts up to keep people away. Is it possible for Seth to break through this façade?

Both Ronan and Seth don't realise how much they need each other, but both have to overcome their fears to get anywhere, but that is not as easy as it seems. To me, Ronan seems to crave what Seth is offering, but is held back in painful memories.

I am not going to give away the plot of the book, but rest assured you will be gripped by this story, complete with twists and turns. You will also be drawn right into the audio with Joel Leslie, he has a way of holding you in the story – so much so that you really won’t want to stop listening!!

If you love Sloane Kennedys books and also like audio I would highly recommend this audio to add to your collection – you will not be disappointed.
