Patriot

Hades Abyss MC, Book 6

De: Harley Wylde

Narrado por: Umi Markkanen

MaryAnne: I was sixteen when I learned a hard lesson. No, it wasn’t a lesson. It was worse. Kidnapped, tortured, abused in the worst of ways… I’d thought my life was over. Until the day my knight in shining armor came to save me. Patriot. Despite how scary he looks, he has to be the kindest man I’ve ever met. He not only rescues damsels in distress, but animals too. Under that hard exterior is a heart of gold. It doesn’t matter that he’s older than me. The more I get to know him, the harder I start to fall. But why would a man like him ever want someone like me? I’m dirty. Damaged. Broken beyond repair. Or am I? After all, Christmas is a time for miracles.

Patriot: From the moment I saw her, she’s had me wrapped around her finger. I’ve done my best to chase the fear and shadows from her eyes, show her she’s safe. I’ve taken out nearly every man who ever hurt her, even if she doesn’t know it. And the two who are still standing won’t be for long. I want to see her smile. Make her laugh. What better time than Christmas to prove to her life is worth living? I’ll make it the best she’s ever had! But there’s only one thing I want under the tree this year… MaryAnne.

She deserves better. I’m no angel. I’ve killed. Lied. Stolen. And worse. I tell myself repeatedly to keep my distance… until I can’t. One taste and I know I’ll never walk away. MaryAnne is mine! And if she won’t listen to me, then maybe my whacky parrot can convince her. If there’s one thing the African Grey excels at, it’s talking when he shouldn’t.

WARNING: Patriot contains scenes of graphic violence and sexual content, bad language, and abuse. But it also has a happily-ever-after, a tiny feline terror, the most patient dog on the planet, and a bird who always has to have the last word.

Patriot and MaryAnne

Get ready to swoon and sigh, to gasp and giggle, to crave and yell as you experience the passion and danger of yet another fantastic addition to the Hades Abyss MC. It had me in tears at several different points for different reasons. Patriot and MaryAnne embark on a beautiful journey of growth, healing, and unconditional love. Narration was great. Umi Markkanen did a fantastic job brining this story to life.

Great audiobook

Wow I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook this audiobook got a great storyline I very much enjoyed this audiobook and the Narrator did a great job telling the story

Excellent story!

MaryAnne has suffered as no other tennager in the years that she was abused, kidnapped and hospitalized with some madmen who did the unthinkable to her. When she was finally rescued by the Hades Abyss MC, it was Patriot who actually helped her to heal. He knew how she had suffered, but it was once her fear began to surface that he understood how thoroughly she'd been brutalized. Patriot and MaryAnne were perfect for each other. He had "domestic help" in the many animals that he rescued and they became the center of MaryAnne's life. There was a message of hope, faith and recovery in this book with the Christmas story within the story. This was such a well-rounded story and it left me with a feeling of satisfication and calm.
Umi Markkanen does a wonderful job with the narration. Her well-modulated, dynamic voice brings a unique personality and attitude to each character. Her male and female voices are equally well-done as she brings each of the characters to life.

Patriot

This is Ronan(Patriot) and Maryanne's story. I love Umi Markkanen voice, she sucks me right into all these books. I love the MC books. They are amazing.

Sweeter Holiday Addition

to the series. It does involve tough topics and trauma. But it is a sweeter holiday story. I loved the development of their relationship. I have not done this series in order so while they do stand alone. I feel like I missed something from one of the previous stories but it wasn't that difficult to get passed. Narration was done well.

Patriot and Maryanne

Maryanne was living a nightmare. She was kidnapped by a rival club, and used horribly. Haydes Abyss rescues her, specifically Patriot does. She had a hard time recovering, and clung to Patriot as her lifeline. Eventually this evolves into a romance. Maryanne is a tough lady, with a strong will. Another lady, one of the club girls, tries some rotten underhanded things. Overall, it is well written and a good read. I love the characters, and how they popup in the different books in the series. The narration was excellent. I received a free copy of the audiobook, and am voluntarily leaving my review.

Patriot to the rescue.

Patriot rescues animals. And now he's rescued Maryann, his "Little Bit." They have a hard, but very sweet story. The Christmas piece in this story brought tears to my eyes. So touching and funny. Loved it.

Narrated by Umi Markkanen, a favorite presenter of mine. She brings so much character to this story. Even her male voice is believable and good. 5 stars for her as well.

Snack-sized and Very Entertaining

I could listen to Umi Markkanen for days. She’s the narrator of this book and others by Harley Wylde. Her voice is very pleasant and she speaks clearly so she is easy to understand. She does a great job of both the male voices and the female voices. And even the parrot voice!
Umi has great material to work with. Harley Wylde always writes an excellent MC Romance. Her characters are vivid, with interesting (and sometimes tragic) backstories. She gives good Instalove. And Patriot is on the list of Ultimate Book Boyfriends. He is sweet and tough and totally protective of MaryAnne, his woman. Maryanne’s horrible experiences have not made her cynical, but strengthened her incredibly loving heart. Both are amazing characters who are likable and easy to relate to. I truly enjoyed this book.
Here’s the breakdown:
Safety? No cheating or present SA, although past SA is discussed.
Other triggers- Off-page unaliving of bad guys, violence, language, sex, character under the influence of substances that are probably legally prohibited, Christmas cheer.
Tropes- Instalove, He Falls First, Sexual Healing, Voyage of the Damaged, I Know an Ol’ Lady, Christmas Movies, Christmas Socks, Christmas Shopping, Lady Bountiful, Secret Santa. And a Parrot Not In a Pear Tree.

Chosen Family

As always Umi Markkanen makes the world come alive and you beome the chanracters themselves learning to live this new life.

The story was great and what is expected from these interconnected MCs. I love. Ronan (Patriot) and Maryanne are perfect for each other. Each of them have lived a life thatnoone would want to love and they survived and became better for it.

Now I would have loved to have seen what happened to the two that got away.

I am sooo looking forward to more stories and connections.

Great story

MaryAnne has had incredibly rough life. Until Patriot came into it. I love that he not only saves her, but the animals too. That tells you the true measure of someone. As always the narrator is amazing and the story engrossing and I look forward to more.
