Story
Vengeance. It's the one thing on ex-cop Rhys Tellar's mind and he's spent every day of his two-year prison sentence planning how he'll bring down the former lover and partner who sold him out and cost four people their lives. A six-month parole stint working at the CB Bar Ranch in southwestern Montana should be the easiest thing he's ever done. But the last thing he expects is to feel something for two men there. A future. That's what Finn Stewart wants, but to have it he must leave behind the man he wants above all others, his very straight boss and best friend, Callan Bale....

Story
For the last three years, I've lived and breathed hockey with one goal: team captain. There's only one thing standing in my way. TJ Beckett. Beck is irresponsible and immature, and I've hated him since the moment we met freshman year. Yet the coaches see something in him I obviously can't, and they refuse to choose between us. The captain spot is going to a team vote. And the team thinks that what we need are a bunch of challenges to prove our worth.

Story
"Look out for Zach, and don't hit on him." My brother's request sounds easy enough. Keep an eye out for his best friend on campus and keep my hands to myself. Easy. Even if Zach is a quintessential nerd, who I've always thought was cute, I don't have the time to think with my...stick. There's only one stick I should be focused on this year, and that's my hockey stick. My goal once I graduate is to get an NHL contract. The last thing I need is a distraction. On or off the ice. Only, keeping to the rules is harder than I thought it would be.

Story
He promised to never leave me. But when I needed him the most, that was exactly what he did. Wilderness guide Xander Reed has spent fifteen years trying to forget the night he turned to his best friend in his darkest hour, only to find the young man who'd sworn to always have his back was turning his on Xander instead. Two thousand miles and fifteen years of building a new life in the quiet backcountry of the Rocky Mountains should have been enough to put the memory of Bennett Crawford out of his mind.

I left him behind because I had no choice.... That's what I keep telling myself, but it doesn't make it any easier to sleep at night...or to drown out the words he kept repeating over and over the day we'd met: I just want to go home. That was eight long years ago and I'd only known him as Billy, a terrified 14-year-old I'd had to leave behind to save someone else. But his name wasn't Billy and he's no longer a frightened kid lost in a world where he was nothing more than a possession.

But when a phone call from an attorney back home informs me that my sister passed away, leaving me custody of her newborn baby, I'm shocked out of the steady life I've built for myself running a tattoo shop in San Francisco.

Every bartender should follow one simple rule - don't go home with the customers. That’s been easy for me to stick to, until the night a cocky, confident, and sinfully charming hockey star walks into my bar. This sexy athlete is too hard to resist, especially when he makes it clear how much he wants the “sarcastic, witty, hot AF” guy behind the bar - also known as me. Still, I’m not keen on breaking my own rules since I know where that can lead - no place good.

Summary
He wants revenge against the brothers who betrayed him, but first he has to get past the one man he can't resist....
At the tender age of eight, Rafe Barretti lost everything. His parents, his childhood, his innocence. And the brothers who were supposed to protect him let him go instead. Twenty years later and he's finally ready to exact his revenge by taking away everything they hold dear - their company, their reputations, their futures. But even that isn't enough - their loved ones will have to pay, too, and all their precious secrets are fair game.
Former mercenary Cade Gamble's only job is to take down the hacker stealing sensitive, private information from Barretti Security Group, and Cade is damn good at his job. But there's more at stake because the cofounders of BSG, Dom and Vin Barretti, are like family, and no one touches Cade's family. The fact that the vengeful young man turns out to be the youngest of the Barretti clan doesn't matter. But when their tumultuous encounters turn into something more, Cade will have to decide between protecting the only family he has and giving in to his need to save Rafe from himself.
Can Cade help Rafe find redemption so he can forgive the sins of the past, or will Rafe's quest for vengeance destroy them both?
Can be listened to as a stand-alone story - no cliff-hangers.
This series crosses over with some of my other series, so for the most enjoyment, they should be listened to in order, but it is not required.

So much angst
Another heart breaking story...
Another sizzling and ferocious chemistry...
Rafe's story was pretty awful, what he had to endure as a child was inhuman.
Big , strong, reliable, sexy Cade has his sights on him, the more he follows Rafe
the more he finds him intriguing. He tries to protect the family by keeping him away,
but, Cade has no plans to let him go. Not when their attraction is burning them both.
A great addition to the series.
Michael Pauley, bravo....

Read the book a while back and continued to fall in love with the series. Cade and Rafe find each other when Rafe tries to destroy the family he believes betrayed him as a child. Their attraction is intense and immediate. Sloane knocks it out of the park every time and I loved revisiting the Barretti series. Pauley’s narration was perfect as always.

Redeeming Rafe, Barretti Security 2
Great book. Great Audio.
The story between these two is steamy as well as emotionally heartbreaking. Rafe Barretti comes back into his Brothers Dom, Vin, and Ren's lives after being "missing" for like 20 years. Which, ok I get, but I also don't really understand why it took so long. lol. He is now 28 and he had plenty of time over the years to come back into the picture. But him waiting to get his revenge on the brothers he thought abandoned him makes the story into what it is so I can totally appreciate how it all goes down. Cade is pretty much a stalker for most of the book following Rafe around and pushing him into a relationship. Which would make him seem like a Creeper if it wasn't for the fact that he actually makes Rafe feel safe when he knows Cade is following him. Hearing what happened to Rafe after he was taken from the family when he was 8 was hard, hurts your heart and makes you want to cry. It was worse to hear in Audio with Michael Pauley's emotional narration, than it was when I originally read it on page. Michael Pauley does a great job portraying these two Characters in this audiobook and while it didn't move me as much as listening to Dom & Logan's book (Logan's Need) I really liked listening to this one.

Absolutely phenomenal!!
OMG!! I am so blown away with the amazing talented Michael Pauley. It definitely helps that he's narrating a book from my top M/M author!!! Seriously, if you love audiobooks and M/M reads then I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you listen to this series. This is the third audiobook I've listened to from this author and narrator where I'm left absolutely mind blown. I'm like a die hard fan of Sloane Kennedy. Her writing is a-fuckin-mazing and it just gets better and better with each book. This story is phenomenal with it's captivating INTENSITY, EMOTION, PASSION and outstanding characters!!! And to have Michael Pauley deliver all of those emotions with utter PERFECTION makes it all the more better. GAH!!! I'm already ready to download the next one.

Better Than Expected!
I put off reading this book. I've read all the others but for some reason I couldn't read this one, until I did! it is one of THE BEST of the series. Then I had to get the audio! This is the 3rd time in 4 months I've read/listened to it. Rafe broke my heart. Cade is so special. He lets Rafe learn that not everyone will hurt him.
Michael Pauley gives life to the characters that just makes this book more special.
I recommend reading the series so you can get to know the secondary characters but IMO it's not a must as this can be a stand alone. Definitely a must for your library.

When bio dad showed up and took him. Gary Price was a piece of work he sold his eight year old son for gas and beer and he continued to pump him out until her overdose on heroin. Twenty years later Rafe seeking revenge on the family that he thought forgot about him by stealing info he is a hacker he was planning on using the info to hurt Vin and Dom. Former mercenary Cade Gamble's only job is to take down the hacker stealing sensitive, private information from Barretti Security Group and Cade is damn good at his job. Case is the love them and leave them type but there is something about Rafe that has him drawn to him. When Rafe decides to give up his revenge he gives Dom the info he had after telling them all the things that happened to him. While in L. A. someone tries to kill him Cafe comes to his rescue. Cade is a hot sexy male who comes from a family who didn't approve of him being gay he also had some rough teen years falling in with the wrong crowd. Turns out Rafe is the reason Vin found their other brother Ren who was held captive in the middle east. When Cade falls in love with Ren he knows that he maybe setting himself up to be hurt.

This was a really good read it was full of emotions and tragic events Ren went from losing his mother and father to beginning used by a man he doesn't know. Cade and Ren had some really good hot sex scenes. This book was well written and well read I love the narrator Michael Pauley. I have been going back and forth between this series and "The Protectors by this author. I am looking forward to reading or listening to the next book in this series.

A true tale of redemption
Two men seek to find themselves and family while battling with feelings of unworthiness. I love how Sloan Kennedy gives her characters faults they must overcome to find love and acceptance in redemption. Will Cade say goodbye to the new family he became a part of to keep the man he loves? Will Rafe accept the past he can't change and the love of a family he thought abandoned him. As always, Kennedy puts you on a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs and you hope for a happy ending. I couldn't put the book down when I read it and I couldn't stop listening to the audio book. Hearing the words that were on the page didn't lessen their impact. Even though I'd read the story, the audio version kept me rapt in attention as I held on for dear life.
