REVIEW: Retribution by Sloane Kennedy (The Protectors #3)
Retribution felt like it had less suspense than the others, but definitely no less angst, emotional turmoil or pain. It was centred more around their pasts, and the healing relationship between the two of them. Helped along by a pretty adorable superhero obsessed little boy.
Hawke’s story is heartbreaking, and I actually found myself annoyed that the people in his life weren’t more helpful in assisting him get his revenge.
Tate who’s on the run from a terrible past, along with his son. When their paths cross they find that one thing that they’ve both been missing. Finding compassion and strength. Someone to hold them up when it feels like everything is crumbling around them.
“You’re kind, even though all you’ve known is cruelty. You’re strong despite all the times people have tried to break you. You gave up everything for that little boy from the second you saved him and you’ve been the father he needs and deserves despite not having had that yourself. I’m in awe of you, Tate Travers.”
In the end, you get a healing story full of love and a puppy.

Synopsis:
Ex Special Forces soldier Michael “Hawke” Hawkins has spent every day of the last ten 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?
