A hurt/comfort, heartfelt, opposites attract!

This is the first book in the Protect and Serve series . A sweet opposites attract, hurt/comfort listen. This book was really well written and had character depth. Kennedy's story was touching and heartfelt which explains why he was hesitant in establishing his relationship with Gunnar. John Solo did an exceptional audio delivery and this was really an enjoyable listen overall.

You are my guardian angel

Sexy cops and hot firefighters! What’s not to like? And to put the cherry on top, there’s investigating an arsonist in the background to add the thrill. Kennedy had a past that’s difficult. He’s aloof and grumpy most of the times. When a new neighbor moved in next door, he found out that Gunnar is as cocky as they come. However under the facade of that cockiness, Kennedy knew Gunnar needed help. Gunnar needed to find a way to figure out how to be an adult after after being abandoned by his wealthy parents. And Kennedy is just the helping hands he needs to guide him through right path. I think the story is quite realistic. Although there was some violence in the story, it was appropriately inserted in so it didn’t feel out of place. And I loooooved John’s narration. He can never do any wrong in my eyes. All in all, this was an enjoyable listen and I look forward to more audios in the series. 4 You are my guardian angel stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Audio rating Story - 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Narration - 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Performance - 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Overall - 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

OMG! What an awesome story!!!♥️

OMG! What an awesome story! I’m so in love with Kennedy and Gunnar! It’s definitely a very strong emotional storyline that really pulled on my heart strings! It’s also so well written and with such heart and creative realism and passion, it really pulled this awesome story together brilliantly! I absolutely loved everything about it! This was my first by author Pandora Pine and Im definitely looking forward to more to come, hopefully about this McCoy clan! Narrator John Solo’s incredible performance of all these different characters voices is magnificently achieved and made this audiobook one I couldn’t put down until the very end! I definitely recommend Gunners Guardian Protect and Serve Book 1 and just know you’ll really love it to!

Gunnar and Kennedy

This book was really good. Kennedys story was really sad and it explains why he is so hesitant to have a relationship with Gunnar. Gunnar was such a brat in the beginning but he learned so much and became a better person. I'm not so sure about their chemistry. The narrator was good. The story played out well.

One of the Best Romances of the Year!

'Gunnar's Guardian', the first book in a stunning new series by Pandora Pine, tells the story of abrasive detective Kennedy and his newly moved-in next-door neighbor, the outwardly brash Gunnar. Kennedy, being motivated by his need to help people, secures Gunnar a job at the fire station where his brother, Ozzy, is captain. Gunnar, who has been made penniless by his homophobic father, develops self-worth and a purpose under the tutelage and friendship of the station's EMS workers. Pine delivers a slowly building age-gap story incorporated with an opposites-attract, enemies-to-lovers vibe. There is no better character development than what Pine gives the reader with Kennedy and Gunnar. Each man works to overcome the difficulties in their pasts so that they can have the relationship they deserve. The subplots are well-developed as well. Not only do we have Kennedy and Gunnar's story, Kennedy's foster family has a significant supporting role to play throughout the burgeoning relationship between the two men. A multi-book subplot offering some danger and suspense, involves an investigation into a serial arsonist that has me itching to see the characters work together to bring the murderous fire-bug to justice. I can't give a complete review without singing my praises for John Solo's perfectly performed narration. Each character's personality is given a brilliantly distinct voice. Solo's interpretation immerses the listener into this deftly-written and realistic story by Pine. This audiobook was given to me, by my request, as a free review copy. This post is my wholly voluntary and completely honest opinion of it. If you decide to use a well-considered credit for this book, I believe you'll agree and love it as much as I do. Highly recommended.

Loved this!

I loved this story! It was a great slow burn and so worth it! The narrator brought these characters to life perfectly and made this story even better than it already was. Kennedy and Gunnar were so perfect for each other and I didn’t want to stop listening to their story. I was sucked in from the moment I hit play and never wanted to leave this story. I’m excited to see what else is in store for this series and what will come next.

Wonderful listen

I thought that reading this book was amazing but hearing John Solo bring it to life was something I never knew I needed. I was sucked in from the first word and didn’t want my listening time to end. Gunnar and Kennedy and the entire McCoy clan are the true definition of friendships and family.

Amazing listen!

I love Kennedy and Gunnar!! They are so different but so perfect for each other. This is such an amazing start to this new series and John Solo brings this story to life. He took an amazing story and pulled me even more into this story. I absolutely loved it!

AMAZING!!

An amazing story that is a great start to a new series!! I loved meeting all of these new characters and can't wait to get all of their stories. Kennedy and Gunnar have incredible chemistry from the moment they meet. Kennedy does his best to stay away from Gunnar because of his past and because of the age difference, but circumstances keep pushing them together. Kennedy is way overprotective but he has his reasons for it and Gunnar definitely needs protecting. I love watching Kennedy's family take Gunnar in as one of their own and it was quite an enjoyable rife watching Kennedy and Gunnar on their bumpy road to their great HEA!! The narrator was incredible portraying all of the different characters in this story. I truly hope he does the rest of this series because I can’t wait to hear the stories of all of the brothers. I voluntarily reviewed a gifted copy of this audio book.
