Amazing series

This book was so good! It picked up right where part 2 ended and we finally get to ind out what happened to Lenny. I loved the other side characters in this book and how they interacted with Lenny it was so cute. I can’t wait to learn more about each of them and their stories. I loved getting to see Lenny and Nate’s relationship develop more and wow that last scene. I don’t want to spoil anything but wow. Also I loved the wedding so much I was so happy for all the characters. And I loved how the title came into play in this book. I’m so happy they can trust each other and push each other to be their best selves. Lenny and Nate are such an amazing couple. The narrator did such a good job with the emotions and voice skills too. It brought this book to life and the characters to life as well.

Realistic character growth

I had read all three parts of this story before listening to this audio version of part three and Matt Haynes' voice perfectly captured the voices I heard in my head. I loved the rough quality to his voice for Nathan especially. In terms of the story, I was surprised at how quickly the cliffhanger from the second book was wrapped up and was curious to hear what the rest of the story was about. I should have realized it would be about the journey of healing our guys have to make both as individuals and as a couple. I have always loved Lenny, but I adored him in this book as he matured and came into his own as a man, a chef, a lover and a sub. You can hear it in the voicing of Matt Haynes. My reaction to Nathan was also a bit different in this audio version. When I read the story, Nathan became rather unlikeable for me for about the middle third as he seemed unable and even unwilling to trust Lenny as Lenny was trusting him. He felt selfish, controlling and immature. In this audio version, however, his fear for Lenny was more visceral and understandable as we could hear it in his voice. I still got irritated with him at times, but understood him more and when he finally had his epiphany that he was going to lose Lenny unless he eased up and let him live a real life apart from him it was beautiful to hear. The Dom/sub scenes are explicit and hot but it is through them that we see our guys grow and change leading to an incredibly satisfying two part conclusion - one part sappily romantic and one part totally incendiary. Finally, a well earned happily ever after.

Moving Forward

This book picks up exactly where book two ends.
We get to see Nate so vulnerable as Lenny is in a delicate condition.
This was a book about them moving forward, facing the barriers in their relationship and accepting what can be between them.

The narration was engaging, especially the opening scenes in which you could just feel the emotions.
A wonderful conclusion to the trilogy which will leave you with a smile on your face.

Riveted and Full of life. A must read

Was so riveted To my seat that I had to relisten From beginning to end.

The scene with the ambulance made me hold my breath, the feelings in the words as Matt read... heartfelt... how else should I describe it!
Now Nathan and Lenny's Story has an HEA, what is next, Will the other characters have their own story to tell?

great conclusion for Lenny & Nate

Would I listen to it again: yes
Did the story keep me engaged: yes
Was I invested in the characters: absolutely
What did I like about the story? good pace, well written characters and an engaging story.

I was really invested in these characters and after the cliff-hanger of book 2 was resolved, I found myself riding Lenny's emotions throughout his journey. I've enjoyed watching Lenny and Nate grow into themselves and their love strengthen into an unbreakable bond.

Narrator comment: I enjoyed Matt Haynes' performance and think he's done a great job narrating Mine, Body and Soul: Part 3. I had no problem distinguishing characters, his rhythm, intonations and cadence of voice all bring the story to life.

Brilliant

Excellent ending to this series.love Matt's voices for Nathan and Lenny.
Their relationship grows stronger, and after the cliff hanger from book two all is explained perfectly

Lenny and Nathan

Book Two ended on a cliffhanger and I was happy the resolution came fairly quickly although the damage was definitely done. I’ve followed Nathan and Lenny through the ups and downs of their relationship, always holding out hope for them. Lenny’s medical issues have been mostly resolved, but now the men are facing the challenge of integrating BDSM into a fragile and tenuous relationship. Lenny has always wanted to submit to Nathan, but Nathan constantly frets about Lenny’s health. Throw in that Lenny has a new job that occupies much of his time and leaves him tired, and it’s a recipe for miscommunication which happens one night mid-scene. Instead of talking it out, Nathan reads the worst of the situation and begins to withdraw. I’m glad they worked things out and the ending put a smile on my face. A great conclusion to a great series.

Matt Haynes did a good job of narrating the series, carrying the voices through very well and differentiating which was a challenge given how many men were in the book. The author hints there is more to come in Ferron’s story and I can’t wait to pick it up.

LOVE A HAPPY ENDING

What a rollercoaster of a ride Lenny and Nathan had to endure to get to their hea.
Self doubt, nightmares, and an awful lot of treatment was needed. Both men had mental and physical scars that they had to come to terms with just to immerse themselves into the lifestyle they both wanted and needed...
l enjoyed all of the characters in this trilogy, especially the mothers that added some humour. Well written and nicely narrated.
An enjoyable trilogy.

Best BDSM series!

This is the best BDSM trilogy I ever read! This book start off right from the ending of the last one and it was brutal. Poor Lenny, I'm glad everything worked out smoothly, but in a believable way. Nathan and Lenny are still finding their way through their D/s relationship, but I liked they inserted some vanilla traits into the mix, it was super cute <3

This is the least favorite of the three, I must say regretfully. I still loved it, of course. But I think there was a little for filler than the others, it should had finish a few times and it just kept going without much plot, just their live together as a couple. Also, there is one scene that rubbed me the wrong way. It's something common in D/s relationship and one of the things I don't like. It was supposed to me funny and light and the guys wasn't bother by it. But it was a big deal.

I'll say the same thing about Matt Haynes I said the last book: Matt Haynes did an amazing narration. He is a voice actor, he doesn't just read the book but also put emotions behind every scene, every speech. His pace was spot on, the pauses between sentences was also good. And I could differentiate all characters.

Great finale!

Story: The end to this trilogy is absolutely brilliant! I loved, how the author resolved the plot without compromising all the great parts of it. The writing style and characters were awesome!
Narration: A clear and pleasant to hear voice.
