Protect and serve...

A young -in the closet- cop in a town full of haters. A bear of a man who turns his world around and gives him the strength he needs. I liked a guy who finds himself free to love who he wants in a world that is constantly saying no to that. The narration is really good, emotional when needed and each character with their own voice.

A very enjoyable listen!

I hmmm'd and haaa'd about buying this audio book but after listening to the sample many times I decided to give in and buy it. My first story by K C Wells and my first narration by John Solo. I enjoyed both immensely and wish listed a few more by both the aforementioned Writer and Narrater on the strength of this.

One of those stories I will enjoy repeat listening to.

Smooth and Sweet with a little spice

I liked this low angst sweet story when I read it. What’s not to love about a closeted cop and a gentle bear finding love. I enjoyed the positivity of the story where things were never as bad as the characters feared. Del is older than Taylor yet seems so much younger that could be because of Taylor’s job as a cop. The sweet romance between them is a joy to read.
John Solo’s narration is excellent. He gets into the spirit of both Del and Taylor building them up to captivating characters. So easy to listen.

as good as the ebook

The story is always 4 or 5 stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

Slow and steady always wins ....

l didn't know how much l needed to listen to this story, it was like a balm to my ruffled feathers...

A rich tale , beautifully written, that takes us on a journey.
Of self denial and intense attraction.
Of ignorance and hatred.
Of overcoming fears and becoming a trailblazer.
But mostly of following your heart whatever the consequences.
In a small town, in the deep south where prejudices are rife, life is never easy...

John Solo did an excellent job at bringing to life so many characters.
l loved his Southern drawl, it gave me goosebumps.
A very enjoyable tale that left my heart warm and fuzzy.

Wonderful story of love and acceptance

A wonderful story from K.C. Wells set in a small town in Tennesse where Del has moved to set up a new business with his brother and meets Taylor, a cop very deep in the closet. They get closer over the course of the book and reading Taylor get the chance to experience things he has wanted is great and well written. There's obvious joy for him but also for Del in being the man there for him. However, small town minds are hard to change and there is trouble for Del's business and constant comments from coworkers on the police force.
There is a lot going on for both men, individually and together, throughout the book and a great cast of characters give friendship, support and a reason to fight, along with the ones that we love to hate. The MC's seem to be a perfect match for each other, having a connection from their first meeting and they are both such sweethearts both wanting the best for each other and the town they live in.
Another great book from KC Wells with characters easy to connect with and a story to love. Looking forward to more from this series, hopefully for a few of the men in this story.
John Solo again does a great job in conveying an array of emotions throughout the story. With secrets, new relationships and unknown of how the town will react, the MC's have a lot to think about with regards to themselves, a possible relationship and their future. One point for me is that I struggled with when both men were in a scene and talking, the voices were very similar so I'd have to take a second to work out who was who. John's voice is full of feeling and I really enjoyed the story as he told it and would definitely recommend listening.

Another First Story by K C Wells

I know i am biased as K C Wells is one of my favorite author's. Each and every novel written has the perfect balance of fact, romance, sex and true to life experiences we can all relat to. it is easy listening enhanced by the deep male voice of the narrator who has the ability to give individually and presence of each and every character. I personally dont understand why female narrators are chosen to read male gay fiction. it just doesnt work. I can wait to start listening to the next book by K C Burns

Super Hot Romance, Great Performance by John Solo!

Wonderful performance by John Solo, who does a fantastic job with this whole series.

This is one sexy romance with a hot as hell age-gap, and some delicious kink. If you like confident and experienced bears, with slightly shy (but eager and willing) first timers, you're going to love this one! K.C. Wells writes some of the best erotica in the business, and the chemistry she builds between Del and Taylor makes Pride & Protection just as gorgeous as that cover.
