Publisher's summary

Welcome back to the Blue Solace!

Morgan Murray is an easy, fun-loving guy. He excels at being a soldier, but never wanted more out of life. Somehow, he ends up in a position of authority on Dru's new ship, the Blue Sparrow. Now he has to deal with what he dreads most. Responsibilities. Dru and her crew are given the task of finding Wyatt Morrick and telling him about his father's death. Along the way, Morgan soon learns that responsibility can be painful, difficult, and frightening. It can also lead to something very special.

Dr. Wyatt Morrick is in trouble. Big trouble. He and his medical crew are stuck on a planet under attack. He may not be a soldier, but he has patients and friends to worry about. With very few supplies left, something has to give for them to survive. The whole planet's future is at stake and he is stuck hiding in a cave.

When Morgan saves Wyatt and his friends, the two men are given a gift: each other. Their love can't stop the Concord, though, and someone has to. Morgan has to grow and accept his responsibilities, and Wyatt has to move on from his father's death. That death just happens to be a little more complicated then Wyatt expected.

Author's Note: 55,000+ words. This is a m/m love story with no angst and no cheating, just a HEA. There is lots of action, sex, mpreg, and a few potty mouths involved in the story. 18+ listeners only, please. It is also the third book in a series that is best heard in order. Listen to The Mercenary's Mate and The General's Mate first!

i love that each of hacks and lita crew has adopted not only animals plus people. so very sweet wyatt is amazing. makes me feel bad for princess buttercup. no meat. not only the people but the animals are amazing.

Fantastic listen

I have to start with a confession and a warning. This was my first listen in the series, and it is definitely NOT stand alone. It doesn't have the world-building and character introductions you would normally expect to see. That said, I still thoroughly enjoyed the action, humor, playful banter, and sweet love. This is a pretty easy-going, low angst story, and I am definitely going to go back and look for the first two audiobooks in the series.

The narration was great with different voices and attitudes for the different characters. Great delivery and pacing.

I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Loved it

I love this series! I can't wait to see what happens next! Thank you for writing this and all the adorable pets that come with it!!

Favorite Blue Solace story.

The Soldier's Mate is my favorite of this series! I have read and re-read them so many times, I was excited to be able to listen to them. Mr. Brown does an okay job narrating the book, and the C.W. Gray never fails to have me laughing out loud one moment and then crying the next. Love his books!

just as enchanting as the first two

this installment of the series was not lacking in its entertaining value held up to the first two in every way. whole series a enchanting way to spend my weekend so far. on to book 4

another enjoyable instalment

Did the story keep me engaged: yes
Was there anything I found annoying: no
Would I listen to it again: yes

Overall comment: • Great addition to the series, I had a stronger emotional connection to this one than the previous two. This series continues to be well written with good pacing and an interesting cast of characters.
• Connor Brown continues to do a great job on the narration, consistently narrating the cast of characters, their emotions and quirks throughout the series.

Great addition to the series

I could go on and wax poetic about writing and characters and MM romance and sci-fi romance and mpreg but even if that is or isn't your thing, what I have found above all the great story telling in these books is acceptance. The author doesn't just make the MM romance accepting but the normal within whatever your society is. They also show how if you don't have a family or friends, you find them. You cobble together your tribe and the more open minded you are, the more accepting you are, the more you grow your heart and only happiness will follow. There will be people who don't approve but the people who do will completely outweigh those that don't. And all you have to do is find that tribe, those people that will love and protect you then wrap them around you as your shield against the haters and let love win. Thank you to the author. These stories and this huge family are soooooo needed right now ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Keeps getting better

These stories just keeps getting better and better with each book. I throughly enjoyed Wyatt and Morgan's story.

So many feels!

Word of warning, you might need a couple tissues for this one. But then, I cry at a lot of things so maybe it's just me?
This one is certainly the biggest emotional rollercoaster so far. Morgan and Wyatt are an adorable couple and I love big, bad Morgan's sweet reactions to his mate.
There's a lot of exciting story development going on in this one and we begin to get a much better understanding of what's going on throughout the galaxy. I won't spoil but there's a nice little twist in there that I really appreciated for Wyatt's sake.

Loved it.

I enjoy this series so much that I talk about it to my friend and shes very invested in what's going on and wants to get them now too.
