About this listen

"You're a hero every f--king day, Tate," I said softly. "Don't ever forget that." (Hawke)

Ex-Special Forces soldier Michael "Hawke" Hawkins has spent every day of the last 10 years waiting for the moment he would get to watch the life fade from the eyes of the men who brutally murdered his wife, but when he finally gets the break he's been waiting for, the trail leads him to someone he wasn't expecting.

After nearly two years of running, 24-year-old Tate Travers has become an expert at hiding...until the day a dangerous stranger shows up looking for vengeance and threatens to destroy the fragile life Tate has managed to build for himself and his five-year-old son. Except the life Tate has been struggling to hold on to started unraveling long before Hawke showed up looking for the same men Tate has been running from...his own father and older brother.

Retribution - it's all Hawke has wanted since the day he held his wife's hand as she took her last breath. And he won't give that up for anything or anyone...not even the tormented young man trying to give his little boy a better life. Because Tate is the only one who can lead Hawke to the men he's been searching for. And if it means forcing the young man to confront the past that nearly destroyed him, then so be it.

Only the last thing Hawke expects to feel is something besides the hatred that has driven him. And he definitely never expected to feel it for a man.

But when it comes down to choosing between the unwanted feelings Tate stirs in him and the revenge he's finally close enough to taste, will Hawke be able to give up the one thing that has kept him going for a second chance at a future he gave up on ever having?

Love, love love

Every book I read in this series just seems to get better. Sloane creates a band of brothers that anyone would want at their back.

Tate's survived horrors, Hawke is a man that horrors run from. The chemistry is palpable but so too is the absolute heartache.

Hawke's sole purpose is to find the men who murdered his wife. His search leads him to Tate's front door and what follows is a story of redemption, passion and vindication.

Joel's narration is spot on as usual and he adds so much depth of feeling to the words Sloane writes with skill.

Oh Sloan

Joel, first off, you rock. You bring life to each character. You're voice carries so much emotion that I feel every moment.
Sloan, I'm slowly buying all of your books on audible. I've read them and need them on audio with a fierce desperation. These men and all they go through to get their true love just rocks me to my core. Thank you for sharing your stories, I don't know how I could get through my existence without them.

Best storyline I’ve played

Made me cry. Loved the tension and the passion that followed. Characters were relatable, they were tough and good at the same time. I’ll be dreaming about them all for a while. I feel a little less alone. Thanks

Another Strong Performance

I like Joel Leslie's work with Sloane Kennedy's writing, although his way of speaking is distinctive enough that the voices across books can start to sound the same.

Kennedy's men are always interesting, and if you like one of the Protectors, you'll likely love them all. The story lines vary enough to be individually enjoyable--I've re-read some more than others, but all more than once--but her style overall is consistent enough that she's an auto-buy for me.

Loved it!!

Retribution is one of my all time favorite stories! I love Tate, Hawk and Matty!! There’s still some angst in this one but not as much as the previous two Protectors books. Narration was great. Joel always does a good job with the stories he narrates

I love....

I have read Retribution as soon as it went live on Amazon. But there is something about a audio book that let's me experience the story in a whole new way. While staying with my dad in hospice I've had lots of time on hand ! Listening to Hawke , Tate and Matty I was able to connect in a whole new way! This is a must buy even if you already own the book because sometimes life gets hard and we all need to unplug , relax and forget for a while. Sloane Kennedy will keep you on the edge of your seat so keep tissues handy!
