Protect

Sky Ridge Hotshots, Volume 2

De: Paisley Hope

Narrado por: Gideon Frost, Samantha Brentmoor

Imagine coming into the town pub with my crew, dirty and exhausted, only to walk right into my biggest regret. The twin sister of my lost best friend and the one who got away. I haven’t seen Violette Taylor in years but I haven’t forgotten her either.

I used to be Rowan to her. Now, I’m just King, the guy who broke her heart, but not for the reasons she thinks.

Violette is back in town for good, she's a single mom and a nurse in the burn unit I accidentally wind up in.

Can you call that fate? Maybe, if she wasn’t doing her best to stay far away from anyone who reminded her of her past, especially a career hotshot like me. But I know something she doesn’t; life rarely offers second chances. So, if this is my chance to finally make things right, I’m taking it.

Second-Chance with a Swoonworthy Book Boyfriend

What can I say about this book?? Rowan “King” Kingsley is a new book boyfriend on my list—tough, vulnerable, and determined to make things right with Violette, the one who got away. The emotional tension, regret, and slow-burn reconnection felt real and raw. Samantha Brentmoor and Gideon Frost brought these characters to life perfectly—Gideon’s performance especially made Rowan’s internal battle and heartfelt moments unforgettable. A great listen if you’re into protective heroes, emotional depth, and undeniable chemistry.

A Captivating Narration Experience

A Captivating Narration Experience

The narration was truly exceptional! I am absolutely enamored with Gideon Frost’s voice; both narrators breathed life into the characters.

While this is the second installment in the Sky Ridge Hotshot series, it can certainly be appreciated as a standalone. Nevertheless, I value the interconnectedness of the narratives.

This story is exquisitely crafted, brimming with **tension and angst**, **trauma and healing**, **heartbreak and second chances**, all seasoned with delightful spice. The dual timeline added a special touch, illustrating how the characters fell in love at 18 and later reunited in life.

Happy Listening

Better than Fight!

Enjoyed Protect a bit more than Fight. Felt the story was more relatable with a relationship/family driven with history theme and less the typical new girl in town falls in love at first sight trope. Love the wildland firefighters theme and all details about the realities of life of firefighters and other rescue/medical personnel. Only critique really is why does Scottie from Book 1 now have a weird southern accent, when all of Fight she didn't.

Just as good as the Fight!

Another great book in this firefighter series. Loved both of these so far and I cannnnnot wait for Zanders book. Narrators were awesome!

First loves

I enjoyed this book a lot. I love Paisley Hope as an author. I loved the story so much. Love it when a man can love woman and a child so much, and the child is not his by blood. I love Samantha the female reader. The male reader was ok but just a little robotic.

Not as good as the first one

I enjoyed the first book in this series. I was pretty confused about the difference in the writing until I realized they have different authors. This book has a much more juvenile feel about it and the male narrator didn't help matters. The spicy scenes were cringe inducing and I found myself skipping them entirely to avoid the 2nd hand embarrassment. It was a struggle not to dnf it entirely but I did finish it, so I guess that's something.
