Story
Recently-divorced Joel is finally living as a gay man, but he’s not sure he’s ready to jump into a relationship. That doesn’t stop him from noticing his new contractor’s muscular build, hewn from hard, physical work, or his storm-colored eyes. The icing on the cake? There’s more to Finn than good looks. Maybe he’s the perfect guy to share long walks on the beach and warm nights in front of a fire. But it’s been 20 years since Joel was with a man. While he’s not forgotten how to flirt, he’s nervous about making a move. Especially with Finn.

Story
Ten-year-old Chris’ request to see Santa again takes Dave by surprise. He’s a little old for that, surely? But Dave will do anything to put a smile on his son’s face. Except when they get there, Santa is the one to make Dave smile. He’s pretty sure there’s a gorgeous man hiding beneath that white beard. And those eyes...not that Dave gets a chance to even say hello. Chris tells Dave to stay back. Well, Christmas is a time for secrets, right? Jeff loves playing Santa. That cute kid with the huge eyes - and the hot-looking dad - just surprised the hell out of him.

After all these years, we’re still the best of friends. And I want to tell him I love him, really love him, but I’m scared to death of what he’ll say.

Sam reminds me of the horses we rescue. Scarred, skittish, and…strong. Beautiful. He’s a bit of a hat-stealer, and, truth be told, I’m a little leery of his chosen profession. The things he does in front of a camera...well, it makes me blush just thinkin' about it. But if that scar on his face is any indication, he could use somebody at his back. I aim to be that person. And yeah, some of my parts get confused by the fact that he’s all delicate and sparkly, but that’s not important. Even if the good hand lotion has somehow made it into the tack room.

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Summary
Romance is the last thing Shaun wants, but what if it’s exactly what he needs - and deserves?
A selfless son barely holding on.
Shaun doesn’t have much of a life. When he’s not working in the restaurant in Portland, Maine, he’s home looking after his dad, who has dementia. The only people he sees on a regular basis are his coworkers, and Nathan, his dad’s in-home nurse - except he and Shaun are like ships that pass in the night. And on those dark nights, when Shaun feels so alone, thoughts of Nathan are all he has to cling to.
A caring nurse.
It didn’t take Nathan five minutes to know that Shaun is a special guy. He’s dealt with enough indifferent families to recognize Shaun has - and will always - put his dad first. That’s why Nathan is willing to go above and beyond - Shaun is worth it. Nathan’s attraction to him has to go on the back burner, not that Shaun has noticed: Shaun’s focus is all on his dad.
Maybe it’s time for Nathan to convince Shaun he can keep that focus and still have a life - a life that includes love.

Emotional Story, Spectacular Performance by Solo
I just finished listening to the audio version of Shaun's Salvation, and I knew John Solo would do an amazing job! His performance of Shaun's dad is spectacular. As if this isn't an heartwrenching enough story already, the emotion that Mr. Solo adds to Peter, as his character declines into full on dementia, is incredibly touching. It is an absolutely beautiful performance.
K.C. Wells' Maine Men series flows nicely when read in order, and follows each of the friends as they find their happily-ever-afters. I’m a big fan of reading series in order, but if you were going to read any of these stories as a standalone, I highly recommend Shaun's Salvation. Not only does it work well on its own, but because Shaun’s is such an incredible story.
Each of these novels are beautiful, but K.C. Wells has truly outdone herself with this young man’s tale. Caring and kind, Shaun has selflessly put his life on hold to care for his parents. Watching his friends dip their toes into the dating pool, go off to college, and build careers for themselves must have been tough!
Emotions run high in Shaun’s Salvation, and though we get some sad scenes early on, the general mood of the story is warm and comforting. I love the scenes between Shaun and his dad, which are incredibly moving. Best of all, K.C. Wells gradually develops Shaun and Nathan's relationship, and it is perfectly done.
Yes, a bit of a heartbreaker at times,… but thoroughly uplifting, and very rewarding. Wonderful!

Shaun & Nathan
Another great instalment in this series, good story, good narration, what more could we ask for.
What a moving story, the backstory for this book is emotional and well written. I loved reading/listening to this book, and of course, we got our HEA. Well worth the read.
Shaun has been through a lot in life, even though he's still young. Things are still rough for him, but he deals with everything that's been dealt to him. He would love to be like his friends, finding their loved ones and settling down.
Nathan, a caring man, chose the profession of looking after people. Although not how he first thought of it, people seemed to judge a man and a black man for being a nurse.
Even though this book is part of the Maine Men series, each book, in my opinion, can be read alone.
We get to meet all the other men briefly in each book.
A well-written book about men, love and second chances in life: Great Narration from John Solo again. I speed up the narration to 1.40. but this is usual for me, and I find most people read too slowly.

Exceptional Story & Narration🎧 Beautifully Moving!
This beautifully written story hits very close to home for me and to be honest I was not sure I was going to be ready for it but I went in with an open mind, open-heartedly too. K.C. Wells is a gifted author and I’ve listened to and loved many of her books, but I have to say this one moved me like no other and it is one of her best. The characters and storylines are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they are easy to like and care about too. I walked in Shaun’s shoes so I know exactly what he was going thru with his Dad, it is heartbreaking to watch Alzheimers rob a loved one’s memories and so much more. K.C Wells keeps it all real and does not hold back, you can feel the emotions pour off of these pages and straight into your heart. Shaun’s dad, Peter, had a nurse with an enormous heart and he turned out to be Shaun’s rock and the saving grace that helped him get thru the gut wrenching times. Shaun was there for his father for many years, he lived his life with consideration to his father’s illness and his needs. Now he needs to learn to live life for himself, find what he wants to do with his life, one thing he knows is how he feels about Nathan. Despite their age differences, the two have grown close, but Shaun is not sure if Nathan is interested in an inexperienced younger guy. I loved watching Shaun and Nathan’s relationship grow, it was a wonderfully heartwarming outcome after all they went thru and their loss. Nathan’s Mom was amazing, loved his family too. It was great to see the rest of the Maine Men again too. K.C. Wells, thank you for this beautifully moving story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing narration, K.C. Wells cast the perfect narrator to bring her story and characters to life. John Solo is a superbly talented voice artist and versatile voice artist. He had a complete understanding of the characters he portrayed, gave each a voice that fit the character’s persona, sounding believable in every role he played and just as I pictured the characters to sound. I loved how he took each role and made it his own. You could hear how much heart he put into his performance as he captures all the characters’ emotions and projects them into his performance, allowing you to feel every single one. John Solo is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another exceptional listen.

Heartbreakingly beautiful!
This book was absolutely beautiful, a very slow burn and so much hurt/comfort.
It did hit a little too close too home for me with Shaun's situation with his dad, and I had to stop a few times to take a breather before going on.
I loved both Shaun and Levi, they are both very sweet, yet strong characters.

Tissues needed but so worth the tears.
When I read this book with my eyes earlier this month, I absolutely loved it and I didn’t see how it could be any better. I was pretty sure that John Solo would be doing the audiobook and, as much as I love his audio performances, I really wasn’t sure he could make me love this story any more. Boy was I wrong! The emotions that John put into his voice, in all the right places, had me reaching for the tissues even more than I did when I read it. He did a phenomenal job!
Here’s what I wrote when I first read the book:
I knew this book was going to tear me up but I also knew that K.C. Wells would put me back together again and she did. We got glimpses of Nathan in book 4, Dylan’s Dilemma, but you can read this as a standalone if you have to. I think you will definitely enjoy it more though if you read the books in order.
There’s an age-gap of about 15 years between Shaun and Nathan but it’s not mentioned much in the story (which I liked). The blurb really says it all but it can’t quite convey how much Shaun cares for his father and how alone he feels except when Nathan is around. Shaun has come to rely on Nathan but it also seems like his feelings are more than that. Nathan wants to help ease Shaun’s burden and take care of him.
I loved Nathan’s family and how much they accepted Shaun and wanted to see him and Nathan get together. This book is definitely one of K.C. less spicy ones but that’s what was needed for this story; it just wouldn’t have felt right if Shaun and Nathan had jumped right into a relationship.
I fully admit that I’m a crier when it comes to reading; it doesn’t take much to make me tear up. But reading Shaun’s Salvation had me shedding more tears than I remember doing recently while reading. It’s such a wonderful tender and loving story that I couldn’t help but love it.
The whole Maine Men series is fantastic and I can’t wait to read Aaron’s Awakening coming in April 2022.

Feelings
I love the way you can see that Nathan and Shaun have been building a friendship. Shaun has been focused on his dad's care so it's nice that Nathan does want to provide care for him. I like how Shaun's friends also try to be there for him. This is another great story and I can't wait for the next story.
I listened to the audio version and it was well done and enjoyable.

Tears and Smiles
I have read and listened to all the books in the Maine Men series and this one is up there with the rest of them. I would classify this one as one of Ms Wells' "bittersweet" tales. You will smile at the end with the HEA, but be warned, tears will be shed along the way. John Solo does a fantastic job narrating this one. Listening to all five audiobooks he provides a unifying tone, but each one is different, and thoroughly enjoyable.

All the stars...All the feels
This was a wonderful story that was both emotional and heartbreaking yet sweet and moving. It was beautifully and sensitively written. The characters were wonderful, well developed and loveable. They had wonderful chemistry together. This was a great no angst, hurt/comfort story that was a very slow burn. There is very little physical heat given the circumstances of the plot but there is so so much emotional chemistry. I absolutely loved this story. It was sad but beautiful. It reminded me alot of my nan who also passed on from alzheimers and I knew it was going to be a hard read but I also knew it would be fabulous written by KC and I wasn't disappointed. I absolutely would recommend it, just keep the subject matter in mind and grab your tissues. I can't wait to read the next book.

Beautiful listen!
This is such a beautiful listen. Such a heartbreaking story that I just need to see to the end. Shaun and Nathan's are amazing characters. I just love their story so much. John Solo brings their story to life. He took a story with so much emotions and made it even more emotional. I absolutely love it!

Slow burn story of friendship, grief and love
Shaun’s Salvation audiobook by K.C. Wells and narrated by John Solo was given to me in exchange for an honest review.. I loved this slow burn wonderful book about Nathan, the home nurse for Shaun’s father who understands what Shaun was going through but also wanted to be there for him after the loss and give him the life he put on hold to be there for his father. Make sure you have your tissues at hand because this was a rollercoaster of emotions but so worth it to see Shaun come out of his shell and open up to his friends and his heart to Nathan.
K.C. has done a wonderful job of giving us a peek at just how devastating Alzheimers can be to the patient as well as family members who are also caretakers. John Solo was wonderful in giving a voice and emotion to Shaun’s devastation of losing his dad. He is an amazing narrator and is perfect for this story as well all of the previous books in this series.

Exceptional Story & Narration🎧 Beautifully Moving!
This beautifully written story hits very close to home for me and to be honest I was not sure I was going to be ready for it but I went in with an open mind, open-heartedly too. K.C. Wells is a gifted author and I’ve listened to and loved many of her books, but I have to say this one moved me like no other and it is one of her best. The characters and storylines are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they are easy to like and care about too. I walked in Shaun’s shoes so I know exactly what he was going thru with his Dad, it is heartbreaking to watch Alzheimers rob a loved one’s memories and so much more. K.C Wells keeps it all real and does not hold back, you can feel the emotions pour off of these pages and straight into your heart. Shaun’s dad, Peter, had a nurse with an enormous heart and he turned out to be Shaun’s rock and the saving grace that helped him get thru the gut wrenching times. Shaun was there for his father for many years, he lived his life with consideration to his father’s illness and his needs. Now he needs to learn to live life for himself, find what he wants to do with his life, one thing he knows is how he feels about Nathan. Despite their age differences, the two have grown close, but Shaun is not sure if Nathan is interested in an inexperienced younger guy. I loved watching Shaun and Nathan’s relationship grow, it was a wonderfully heartwarming outcome after all they went thru and their loss. Nathan’s Mom was amazing, loved his family too. It was great to see the rest of the Maine Men again too. K.C. Wells, thank you for this beautifully moving story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing narration, K.C. Wells cast the perfect narrator to bring her story and characters to life. John Solo is a superbly talented voice artist and versatile voice artist. He had a complete understanding of the characters he portrayed, gave each a voice that fit the character’s persona, sounding believable in every role he played and just as I pictured the characters to sound. I loved how he took each role and made it his own. You could hear how much heart he put into his performance as he captures all the characters’ emotions and projects them into his performance, allowing you to feel every single one. John Solo is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another exceptional listen.

Shaun's Salvation
Shaun has dealt with a lot in his life. Now as he deals with his father’s illness Shaun finds solace that Nathan is around to help him. Between working and taking care of his father Shaun has not had much of a personal life. Nathan is a rock for Shaun whenever he needs it. Longing and emotions play a large part in their story.
I enjoyed seeing the way their relationship blooms and changes through this book. The connection that the two have makes this a wonderful listen. It was nice to see the dance that the two do while they figure things out. Nathan is a good and strong man and is just what Shaun needs. Their story is a sweet and emotional ride making it a good addition to this series. Narrator John Solo does a wonderful job of bringing these characters and their world to life and had me engaged in their story right from the start.
