Finding Hope, Volume 5

By: Sloane Kennedy

Narrated by: Michael Dean

At 19, Beck Barretti is living two lives. To his family, he’s a young man trying to find his way after years of battling a mental illness that nearly cost him everything. But to the rest of the world, he’s just another privileged kid with problems. The truth doesn’t even lie somewhere in between, because Beck’s entire life is actually about keeping secrets.

From the people he loves.

From the ones he doesn’t.

From himself.

Spending a summer in Dare, Montana, with family friends isn’t about starting fresh - it’s about escaping the crippling darkness that threatens to consume him.

Until one encounter that was supposed to mean nothing, ends up changing everything....

Quinn Donovan had the life he’d always dreamed of until a brutal act of violence ripped it all away. Even though he’s found a new future working at the CB Bar Ranch in Dare, Montana, he’s not interested in trying to get back what he once had. All he wants is a quiet life that includes a job that’s worth getting up for each morning and hanging out with his best friend, a black-and-white paint stallion named Koda.

But nothing prepares him for the strange twist of fate that brings not one, but two men into his life....

Brody Wilder is done hiding in the closet. As the son of a political scion, he’s spent his entire life hiding the truth about who he is just so he could inherit a legacy he never wanted. But those days are behind him, and he’s starting a new life in rural Montana where he’s saving lives as a paramedic and building a successful construction business that would surely horrify his old-money, society-loving family.

After years of denying himself, he’s taking advantage of his newfound freedom by indulging in random, meaningless sexual encounters that are about pleasure, not emotion.

So no one is more surprised than him when one night in the back room of a sordid gay club leads to something more....

Can three men who came together by chance find the hope they need?

Great!

I loved the dynamics in this book. Characters and story were very well rounded, and the narration was fantastic.

Amazing!❤️

I’m so in love with Sloane Kennedy’s stories. After finishing the Protector series, the Escort series, the Barretti series and now the Finding series, I feel a void. The thought of not having these characters in my life is heartbreaking. More so, leaving this world of Sloane’s work is like breaking up. I hope to fill that void soon with more of her writings.

Another deep story of life, love and redemption

Kennedy has this way of writing such deep, intricate characters. Bringing Cade and Rafe Beretti’s son Beck into this series is amazing- we finally get to figure out his story. This story focuses on a polyamorous triad figuring out what they want from life and each other. There are deeply personal layers to the story, and like most other Kennedy books, this is not a light read. Poly scenes are incredibly intimate and graphic. Michael Dean, as always, does an amazing job at immersing the listener in a deeply emotional experience.

Fantastic listen!

Another beautiful live story with wrenches thrown in the works! Also the ever excellent narration completes the ambience!

Best in the Series

Absolutely loved this book! It’s not a light read, it’s deep and a little dark, but also wonderfully written and perfectly narrated. Highly recommend!
