About this listen

Romance is the last thing Shaun wants, but what if it’s exactly what he needs - and deserves?

A selfless son barely holding on.

Shaun doesn’t have much of a life. When he’s not working in the restaurant in Portland, Maine, he’s home looking after his dad, who has dementia. The only people he sees on a regular basis are his coworkers, and Nathan, his dad’s in-home nurse - except he and Shaun are like ships that pass in the night. And on those dark nights, when Shaun feels so alone, thoughts of Nathan are all he has to cling to.

A caring nurse.

It didn’t take Nathan five minutes to know that Shaun is a special guy. He’s dealt with enough indifferent families to recognize Shaun has - and will always - put his dad first. That’s why Nathan is willing to go above and beyond - Shaun is worth it. Nathan’s attraction to him has to go on the back burner, not that Shaun has noticed: Shaun’s focus is all on his dad.

Maybe it’s time for Nathan to convince Shaun he can keep that focus and still have a life - a life that includes love.

Another great instalment in this series, good story, good narration, what more could we ask for.

What a moving story, the backstory for this book is emotional and well written. I loved reading/listening to this book, and of course, we got our HEA. Well worth the read.

Shaun has been through a lot in life, even though he's still young. Things are still rough for him, but he deals with everything that's been dealt to him. He would love to be like his friends, finding their loved ones and settling down.

Nathan, a caring man, chose the profession of looking after people. Although not how he first thought of it, people seemed to judge a man and a black man for being a nurse.

Even though this book is part of the Maine Men series, each book, in my opinion, can be read alone.

We get to meet all the other men briefly in each book.

A well-written book about men, love and second chances in life: Great Narration from John Solo again. I speed up the narration to 1.40. but this is usual for me, and I find most people read too slowly.

Shaun & Nathan

This beautifully written story hits very close to home for me and to be honest I was not sure I was going to be ready for it but I went in with an open mind, open-heartedly too. K.C. Wells is a gifted author and I’ve listened to and loved many of her books, but I have to say this one moved me like no other and it is one of her best. The characters and storylines are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they are easy to like and care about too. I walked in Shaun’s shoes so I know exactly what he was going thru with his Dad, it is heartbreaking to watch Alzheimers rob a loved one’s memories and so much more. K.C Wells keeps it all real and does not hold back, you can feel the emotions pour off of these pages and straight into your heart. Shaun’s dad, Peter, had a nurse with an enormous heart and he turned out to be Shaun’s rock and the saving grace that helped him get thru the gut wrenching times. Shaun was there for his father for many years, he lived his life with consideration to his father’s illness and his needs. Now he needs to learn to live life for himself, find what he wants to do with his life, one thing he knows is how he feels about Nathan. Despite their age differences, the two have grown close, but Shaun is not sure if Nathan is interested in an inexperienced younger guy. I loved watching Shaun and Nathan’s relationship grow, it was a wonderfully heartwarming outcome after all they went thru and their loss. Nathan’s Mom was amazing, loved his family too. It was great to see the rest of the Maine Men again too. K.C. Wells, thank you for this beautifully moving story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing narration, K.C. Wells cast the perfect narrator to bring her story and characters to life. John Solo is a superbly talented voice artist and versatile voice artist. He had a complete understanding of the characters he portrayed, gave each a voice that fit the character’s persona, sounding believable in every role he played and just as I pictured the characters to sound. I loved how he took each role and made it his own. You could hear how much heart he put into his performance as he captures all the characters’ emotions and projects them into his performance, allowing you to feel every single one. John Solo is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another exceptional listen.

This book was absolutely beautiful, a very slow burn and so much hurt/comfort.
It did hit a little too close too home for me with Shaun's situation with his dad, and I had to stop a few times to take a breather before going on.
I loved both Shaun and Levi, they are both very sweet, yet strong characters.

Heartbreakingly beautiful!

When I read this book with my eyes earlier this month, I absolutely loved it and I didn’t see how it could be any better. I was pretty sure that John Solo would be doing the audiobook and, as much as I love his audio performances, I really wasn’t sure he could make me love this story any more. Boy was I wrong! The emotions that John put into his voice, in all the right places, had me reaching for the tissues even more than I did when I read it. He did a phenomenal job!

Here’s what I wrote when I first read the book:

I knew this book was going to tear me up but I also knew that K.C. Wells would put me back together again and she did. We got glimpses of Nathan in book 4, Dylan’s Dilemma, but you can read this as a standalone if you have to. I think you will definitely enjoy it more though if you read the books in order.

There’s an age-gap of about 15 years between Shaun and Nathan but it’s not mentioned much in the story (which I liked). The blurb really says it all but it can’t quite convey how much Shaun cares for his father and how alone he feels except when Nathan is around. Shaun has come to rely on Nathan but it also seems like his feelings are more than that. Nathan wants to help ease Shaun’s burden and take care of him.

I loved Nathan’s family and how much they accepted Shaun and wanted to see him and Nathan get together. This book is definitely one of K.C. less spicy ones but that’s what was needed for this story; it just wouldn’t have felt right if Shaun and Nathan had jumped right into a relationship.

I fully admit that I’m a crier when it comes to reading; it doesn’t take much to make me tear up. But reading Shaun’s Salvation had me shedding more tears than I remember doing recently while reading. It’s such a wonderful tender and loving story that I couldn’t help but love it.

The whole Maine Men series is fantastic and I can’t wait to read Aaron’s Awakening coming in April 2022.

I just finished listening to the audio version of Shaun's Salvation, and I knew John Solo would do an amazing job! His performance of Shaun's dad is spectacular. As if this isn't an heartwrenching enough story already, the emotion that Mr. Solo adds to Peter, as his character declines into full on dementia, is incredibly touching. It is an absolutely beautiful performance.

K.C. Wells' Maine Men series flows nicely when read in order, and follows each of the friends as they find their happily-ever-afters. I’m a big fan of reading series in order, but if you were going to read any of these stories as a standalone, I highly recommend Shaun's Salvation. Not only does it work well on its own, but because Shaun’s is such an incredible story.

Each of these novels are beautiful, but K.C. Wells has truly outdone herself with this young man’s tale. Caring and kind, Shaun has selflessly put his life on hold to care for his parents. Watching his friends dip their toes into the dating pool, go off to college, and build careers for themselves must have been tough!

Emotions run high in Shaun’s Salvation, and though we get some sad scenes early on, the general mood of the story is warm and comforting. I love the scenes between Shaun and his dad, which are incredibly moving. Best of all, K.C. Wells gradually develops Shaun and Nathan's relationship, and it is perfectly done.

Yes, a bit of a heartbreaker at times,… but thoroughly uplifting, and very rewarding. Wonderful!
