Publisher's summary

She’s a single mom with a secret. He’s a former Delta who doesn’t let people too close.

Aria Callas understands struggle and sacrifice. Getting pregnant at 16, she’s spent more than a decade and a half ensuring her and her son’s safety the only way she knows how—by staying on the move. Too long in one place, and Zac’s father bursts back into their lives, bringing nothing but chaos and pain in his wake.

During those same 16 years, Cole Turner’s career as a Delta has taught him just how ugly and unforgiving the world can be. Now retired from the military and running a boxing club, Mercy Ring, with his ex-teammates, life is simple—until he notices the woman living across the street. He vowed years ago to never entrust his heart to another, but he can’t get his enigmatic neighbor out of his head.

When familiar danger inevitably finds Aria, Cole can’t keep his distance any longer. He’ll do whatever it takes to save her, even if that means putting his life—and his heart—on the line once more.

Cole is my favorite

Cole... my goodness. I felt this was more on the serious side with dealing with emotions. I mean They all have been heavy. But I feel this one. There was just something that hit differently for me. Cole has some major emotional damage. Aria geez, she has a while slew of damage, yet she keeps going. I love her for it. I am not gonna lie at one part of the book I was made at Cole. Mad! I mean, it didn't last long, so let's be clear, hahaha. Him and I are good now. It was iffy, though.

Cole needed to face dome hard truths about who he wanted to be. I love how Aria basically bulldoze into his life. The slow and steady awaking that Cole experiences. They are explosive with each other.
The book keeps you interested from beginning to end. It's everything that we have come to love when Nyssa writes a book. This series has been awesome. It continues to be fantastic


Tim Paige and Stella Bloom are narrating this series. You can not go wrong with these narrators. They have done an amazing job!!

Cole

Coke has been my favorite of the series so far! I loved the somewhat reluctant hero. And also, I loved him coming to her rescue. The suspense in this one I didn’t see coming. So much girl in danger action! Perfect!

Once again Tim and Stella’s narration are absolutely on fire!

Gripping

This was an entertaining romantic suspense story that ticked all the boxes for me. Well written, the narration was good and the narrators, and   were easy to listen to. From the first chapter I was hooked on the story that was told. There were equal amounts of romance and suspense which was entertaining. The characters were easy to relate to and I really liked them. The chemistry between them was intense and I found myself laughing out loud on a number of occasions with the witty banter and humour. The secondary characters were just as entertaining and I will be looking at other books in the series ASAP. The narrators certainly did justice to the characters and the wonderful story that the author created.

COLE & ARIA

A single mom and teenage son constantly on the move, an emotionally damaged warrior afraid to love, and bad guys aplenty....oh, my! I don't know how she does it, but Nyssa Kathryn's writing magic just keeps on getting better. My recommendation is always the same: do NOT miss this awesome addition to Kathryn's Mercy Ring series!

Tim Paige and Stella Bloom made this story come to life!

Wow! COLE - My favorite of the series so far!

Cole is the 3rd book in the Mercy Ring series by Nyssa Katheryn, and my gut reaction after listening is WOW. Nyssa's writing keeps getting better and better with each book. Aria is an amazing FMC. She is so strong, and I loved hearing about her background and what a fantastic woman she is. Cole might have been grumpy and broody, but his kindness and compassion for Aria, Zach, and Anthony - plus his core team - was so refreshing.

Stella Bloom and Tim Paige are killing this entire series! Phenomenal job again by both narrators. I really enjoy both of them so so much.

I cannot wait to read Ryker and am looking forward to reading Nyssa's other series!

Great!

Cole is Book 3 in the Mercy Ring Series written by @authornyssakathryn. Hands down, this book had the best character development. It was great to see Cole go from being a relationship doubter to fully embracing Aria and her son.

The twist in Chapter 29 was a great surprise and very well written. I never saw it coming!

Once again @thevoiceoftimpaige and Stella Bloom did a fantastic job!

Love Nyssa’s writing

I have been drawn into Mercy Ring! I previously listened to Book 1 & 2 of the series and I’m hooked. Nyssa’s characters are so dynamic. While the MMC are Alpha, they still maintain distinctive personalities. The FMC can hold their own and only complement their men. I’m also drawn in by the intrigue. Just when I think I have it figured out, I’m wrong. I’m hooked on her writing and can’t wait to delve into more.

Oh my gosh, Nyssa Kathryn and Mercy Ring

Oh my gosh, Nyssa Kathryn and Mercy Ring just keeps getting better and better with each book!
Cole who thought love left you vulnerable and heartbroken vowed to never find and fall in love. He was very content to live his life the way he has for years but now, why does his neighbor seem to invade his thoughts all the time?
Aria constantly looks over her shoulder for her ex to show up and wreck havoc in their lives. Even with such a horrible ex, she still hopes to find true love and get a lifetime of happiness that only a family can bring.
Cole has trust issues and Aria has an ex that just won’t stop but can they overcome all the obstacles that they face to finally have happiness? Can Cole finally find love in the neighbor and her son that he has missed out on for fear of heartbreak?
This is an incredible book and I need to do a reread of Mercy Ring but I am counting down the days for Ryker and I can’t wait to see this strong, protector find his HEA!

Good story, but not fan of female narrator

Intersting storyline, with good characters & plenty of intrigue. Bit too overshared with smexy details.
Male narrator was awesome & carries the story. The female one puts on a breathy, affected voice even when the plot doesnt require it ( her normal, even toned voice doing the end credits is an improvement).
