Freeing Zane

Barretti Security Series, Volume 4

De: Sloane Kennedy

Narrado por: Michael Dean

Zane doesn't do relationships and Connor is definitely the kind of guy who does...

Criminal defense attorney Zane Devereaux is on the verge of having everything he's worked his entire life for. He's on track to become his firm's youngest managing partner and he has enough money in the bank to ensure he'll never have to be at the mercy of anyone ever again. He's left his past exactly where it belongs and refuses to look back. And he sure as hell isn't going to risk a repeat of his former mistakes by letting someone as sweet, sexy and endearingly vulnerable as Connor Talbot into his life. His bed maybe, but not his life.

Connor Talbot has no regrets about serving his country, even if it did cost him more then he'd imagined. Two years after an IED took his leg and left him with permanent brain damage, Connor is still struggling to put his life back together, but he's managed to find a makeshift family in Seattle that helps ease the pain of losing his own at a young age. Unfortunately, a string of bad relationships and an abusive ex have taken their toll on Connor and he's given up on finding the lifelong partner he'd always envisioned he'd have. But a chance encounter with a man he has absolutely nothing in common with except for an intense, white-hot chemistry has him thinking that maybe a no strings, physical relationship is exactly what's called for.

What begins as two men meeting each other's needs between the sheets turns into something neither one was prepared for but the wounds of the past run deep and both men will have to decide if a future together will cost them too much or if what they could have together is worth fighting for.

Hard to say Goodbye

I absolutely loved this series. Sloan Kennedy ended the series perfectly with this last book. Sloane did it again with the different twist in the story. I'm going to miss these characters; and as always Michael Pauley did an awesome job.

Wonderful story!!

This was an amazing audiobook. I loved getting to know Zane and Connor more. They each have such heartbreaking backstories. It was such a joy seeing these two fall in love and become a family.
Narration by Michael Dean was fantastic! Only issue I had was some of the voices changed from the other books but I only noticed cause I’m listening to these back to back. Didn’t detract from my enjoyment though!

Ahhhh...just the book you need to listen to

There is nothing better than a fantastic male/male book, a sexy voice to read it to you and the action needed to keep you enthralled. I love every word this author puts to paper and Michael Pauley is my go to narrator. I can't wait for more from these two.

Adored!!!

Absolutely LOVED Zane and Connors story. I was crying and laughing and just swooning the whole time.

Michael Pauly continues to grow on me. Really enjoyed his performance.

Love This Series!❤️🔥

I wish it wasn’t over. I absolutely enjoyed this series, the one Audible available in the Escort series and the Protector series. All have filled my days and nights beautifully. I will miss all of the beloved characters.
Michael Dean did wonderful performances in these series. He brought such life and love to all.
Thank you Sloane and Michael!

Absolutely AMAZING!!

I love this entire series and this book is amazing. Zane and Connor are so hot together but beyond that they have an incredible connection and love. Love watching Zane grow throughout, he is so caring & loving with Connor and it just gets better & better as the story goes on. They are truly meant to be and both are incredibly giving and caring. The narrator is spectacular all throughout and pulled me right in to the story. Love the epilogue!!

Loved it all

Love these books, I think you are truly my favorite author. Everything about your stories and the damaged, dynamic characters you create pull me in and keep me entertained. I’m on the edge of my seat, and the love between these couples is so palpable. Thank you for these wonderful worlds and sharing them with us all ❤️

This one made my heart hurt!

Two damages souls finding each other was profound.
In the end, it was perfect and raw.

Series finale - WOW!!!

The story is filled with what we love from Sloan Kennedy- intricate plot with lots of moving pieces, deep friendships, main characters with hidden depth. Zane and Connor start with a strictly non-emotional, no strings relationship, but by the end of the story they become best friends with deep love for each other. No surprise there- but the true magic of this story is how they get there. This story also holds the series finale epilogue, which is told from a unique point of view bringing a tear to my eyes at how lovely it was. Sad to say goodbye to such a great series, but luckily Kennedy has the fabulous Protectors series started already, and that is just as wonderful! Michael Dean gives a fantastic performance as always- not just ‘reading a book,’ but making it come alive!

Stupendous

Sloane's characters seem to jump off the pages. He sucks you in right from the beginning and you hang on every word. I can barely stand to stop reading or listening as is the case here because Michael Pauly brings each character that Sloane has created to life!
