fabulous

I think this was my first book by this author and my first MMM book. Loved the suspense part of the story. Great character development. Loved all 3 of them together. I have since gone and read most of her books but still reread this one and I would relisten to it again now as well. I enjoyed that they are all broken in some way but not so over the top like in all this author's later books in this series.

Audio was great - enjoyed this narrator.

Absolutely Amazing ❤️

OH...WOW........I've been waiting to listen to protectors series by Sloane Kennedy been collecting them one by one and what an amazing start I do love the books and listening to Joel Leslie bring Mace, Jonas and Cole to life was outstanding what these three men have been through is heartbreaking you're pulled through the ringer and taken on a rollercoaster of a ride it's so emotional, dark and dangerous but so fantastic recommend so much. ❤️

Great story, great performance

What made the experience of listening to Absolution the most enjoyable?

I'd already read the book but when I saw that this was available on audio I couldn't resist. I'd really enjoyed the book, but as an audio addict I knew I'd enjoy having it narrated to me as I commute to and from work.

Having the characters brought to life by audio doubled my enjoyment of what is already a wonderful story.

What did you like best about this story?

I love the characters - they're all messed up in their own way but together they make sense.

Which character – as performed by Joel Leslie – was your favourite?

Mace. Oh God, that voice sent shivers through me. So perfect.

I've searched out and purchased another audio by him I loved his performance that much. The only other narrator I did that for was Sean Crisden and that opened up a load of doors to author's I'd not read before so I hope this does the same!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I wish that I could - no time for that sort of luxury - but I found I couldn't wait for my next trip in the car so I could listen for 45 minutes or so.

Any additional comments?

Buy this book!

Sorry Joel, no more audio from you...

***This story may contain triggers for some listeners***

This audio book was gifted to me by the author. I'm sorry to say that although the story is OK, the narration IMHO is not. Joel Leslie's interpretation of Jonas was fine, cos that must be within his normal range of voice. His narration of Mace however...well, it sounded exactly like his attempt to voice Law Castille in Jez Morrow's 'Force of Law'...poor. Mr Leslie obviously can't narrate the imagined voices of deep, commanding 'alpha' men as he adopts a raspy, wavering, barely there tone which irritates...so why does he bother?? I didn't listen far enough into the audio book to hear what his narration of Cole was like I'm afraid.

As for the story....my Goodreads review April 2016. Have you heard the one about the gay guy, the bisexual and the straight ex Navy Seal?? No?? Well, I suggest you read this story, and prepare to suspend disbelief AND accept a humongous amount of sometimes eye-rolling drama. What could be included in the story was...insta-love, drunken parents, teen abuse, a vigilante squad, death, human trafficking...you name it, it was there BUT for all that, it was a decent enough read and I was happy that there was a HEA for the 3 stars of the story - Jonas, Mace and Cole.

Have to say this series has improved as it's progressed, but if Joel Leslie is the series narrator, I won't be listening to any more.

Jonas, Mase and Cole

Wow these 3 men had been through the ringer before knowing each other. The heartbreakingly sweet book that brings these 3 men together is beautifully done. Perfect narration

Absolutely fantastic. Loved this series and just started listening to the audios. Joel was perfect for this book .
A rollercoaster ride with Mace, Jonas and Cole. All three men have been through so much but managed but manage to come through together.

Entertaining and Diverting

I loved this story. The building relationships between Jonas, Mace and Cole is well developed. Their past haunts all of them and this pulls them together. The only thing I wasn't sure about was the speed they fell in love, but as the story went on I felt it worked well.

For me the amazing narration by Joel Leslie really pulled me into the various emotions that Jonas, Mace and Cole go through and raised it to 5 stars.
