About this listen

Zachary Olson

I screwed up. Big time. I hurt someone, and I hate myself for it.

I'm barely eighteen and already completely exhausted. Tired of being haunted by secrets and guilt.

My biggest regret, though, is keeping it all from Adam—my best friend, teammate, protector. My everything since I can remember.

And how do I repay him? By keeping these secrets locked up inside. Secrets I know would destroy us.

But I'm not sure how much longer I can do it. No matter how catastrophic the consequences.

Adam Bates

He won't talk to me.

He's never kept secrets from me before. We're both quiet guys who keep to ourselves. But that's never applied to each other.

I know something is wrong, but my best friend has shut me out.

How can I keep him safe if he won't talk to me?

All my life, I've taken on this role—doing what's right, no matter what. Watching out for everyone, on and off the field—especially Zach.

And I won't fail him now when he needs me more than ever.

Because this is who I am and what I do...

I'm the protector.

Protector is the final book in the Kensley Panthers series, I read/listened to books 1-4 last year and have just been waiting for the final book to drop on audio which it finally did. This book follows Adam & Zach. Adam is the younger brother of one of the previous MCs from this series and his best friend Zach has a rough home life because of his stepdad & wanting to be there to protect his younger sisters. The story is about Zach opening up about being gay, helping Adam realise he is Demisexual and them finding their way together as more than friends. This gave me the same warm fuzzy feelings the other books in this series has, they are relatively low angst but do broach the topic of acceptance within a small town for the queer community. The relationships between the MCs are healthy with great representation of open and effective communication. They are like a warm hug in book form. Tim Paige and Liam Dicosimo do a fantastic job bringing the characters to life and I thoroughly enjoyed their performances. I'm sad to see the end of this series but I'm looking forward to whatever the author gifts us with next. 🌶.5

Low angst, warm hug of a book
