Publisher's Summary
"You're a hero every f--king day, Tate," I said softly. "Don't ever forget that." (Hawke)
Ex-Special Forces soldier Michael "Hawke" Hawkins has spent every day of the last 10 years waiting for the moment he would get to watch the life fade from the eyes of the men who brutally murdered his wife, but when he finally gets the break he's been waiting for, the trail leads him to someone he wasn't expecting.
After nearly two years of running, 24-year-old Tate Travers has become an expert at hiding...until the day a dangerous stranger shows up looking for vengeance and threatens to destroy the fragile life Tate has managed to build for himself and his five-year-old son. Except the life Tate has been struggling to hold on to started unraveling long before Hawke showed up looking for the same men Tate has been running from...his own father and older brother.
Retribution - it's all Hawke has wanted since the day he held his wife's hand as she took her last breath. And he won't give that up for anything or anyone...not even the tormented young man trying to give his little boy a better life. Because Tate is the only one who can lead Hawke to the men he's been searching for. And if it means forcing the young man to confront the past that nearly destroyed him, then so be it.
Only the last thing Hawke expects to feel is something besides the hatred that has driven him. And he definitely never expected to feel it for a man.
But when it comes down to choosing between the unwanted feelings Tate stirs in him and the revenge he's finally close enough to taste, will Hawke be able to give up the one thing that has kept him going for a second chance at a future he gave up on ever having?

Story
This week hasn’t gone the best for me unless you count Casimir, the sexy ancient vampire, bringing me back from the brink of death (and tying my fate to his in the process). Not that it matters if the werewolves and vampires don’t stop their ridiculous feud, because someone is targeting them and widening the divide between our communities with each body they leave in their wake. But as the alpha’s son, I have a plan to fix everything. I’m going to convince Casimir to fake date me to show the others that we can work together. I mean… what could go wrong?

Vengeance. It's the one thing on ex-cop Rhys Tellar's mind and he's spent every day of his two-year prison sentence planning how he'll bring down the former lover and partner who sold him out and cost four people their lives. A six-month parole stint working at the CB Bar Ranch in southwestern Montana should be the easiest thing he's ever done. But the last thing he expects is to feel something for two men there. A future. That's what Finn Stewart wants, but to have it he must leave behind the man he wants above all others, his very straight boss and best friend, Callan Bale....

There’s a lot I’ve never told my best friend. The fact that I love him. That I miss him every day he’s gone. That, sometimes, I ache for him with a ferocity that leaves me breathless. Lucky Buchanan tore into my life as a boy, wild and daring, my opposite in every way. He drew me in, stole my heart without trying. He hears me, even though I rarely speak a word. But I always knew this place wouldn’t be enough for my free-spirited friend. I knew he wasn’t mine to keep.

Story
I left my family and tiny Texas hometown 15 years ago to escape small-town gossips and to give my mom and sister the chance at a better life. But when a phone call from an attorney back home informs me that my sister passed away, leaving me custody of her newborn baby, I'm shocked out of the steady life I've built for myself running a tattoo shop in San Francisco. The thing is: I don't do babies. And I don't do small towns. Or commitment. And I especially don't do family.

Story
He promised to never leave me. But when I needed him the most, that was exactly what he did. Wilderness guide Xander Reed has spent fifteen years trying to forget the night he turned to his best friend in his darkest hour, only to find the young man who'd sworn to always have his back was turning his on Xander instead. Two thousand miles and fifteen years of building a new life in the quiet backcountry of the Rocky Mountains should have been enough to put the memory of Bennett Crawford out of his mind.

Heartbreaking
Retribution will break your heart at times. It is the tale of Michael "Hawke" Hawkins and his search for retribution in the death of his wife 10 years ago. He has finally got the break he needs and it involves a young man named Tate and his son Matty. Along the way Hawke finds himself falling for Tate, something that he would never have imagined for himself as he has been working on one thing for 10 years. Bringing the men to justice that killed his wife. Tate happens to be a means to that end as he is the son and brother of the men that killed Hawke's wife. Hawke blackmails Tate into helping him, along the way they fall for each other. Characters from the other books show up in this book and play a large role in what Hawke does now. You can't help but fall in love with 5-year old Matty. He just seems to attach to your heart and stay there. By the end of the book you want nothing but the best for Matty, Tate and Hawke.

😴😴😴😴
I'll give it a 3 and that's being generous and is only due to the last 2.5 hours finally getting out that nothing is happening boredom. Seriously this had very little plot with a lot of dragged out filler and what plot is there is seriously dull. The kid and appearances from Seth and Ronan def saved it from being a total snooze fest. So if you're will to tough it out the fir 5.5 hours it does get good in the very end.
This particular narrator is hit or miss for me. In the past when I've listened to him it was pretty good but I found his drawn out soft tone in this one kept making me wanna fall asleep. I will give him credit for differentiating the characters voices enough to know who was talking which made it easy to follow.
