Publisher's summary

From USA Today best-selling author Ava Harrison comes a sexy new stand-alone romance novel.

I was done with love. When I opened my heart, it was for the men I couldn't have. The unattainable ones. The ones who would hurt me. A vicious cycle I couldn’t seem to stop. But I had a new resolve. Focus on my career. Stay single. And then I met him.

Jace Montgomery. A wounded widower with two young kids. He was exactly everything I was avoiding. So I did my best to stay away.

But then he kissed me. And I fell. Hard. Hard for a man who would never be mine.... A man who was broken beyond repair. A man who would break me.

Loved the story!

As always, Sebastian York did a perfect job as Jace. He always does! Grace Grant did a beautiful job as Sydney, but her male narratives were very distracting. She slowed the pace and sounded like the males were either drugged or very sick.
This being said, the story was a good HEA, and the characters were well developed.

Great story

I loved this story and I love the narrator Sebastian York. However, I didnt love the female narrator. Her voice of Jace was very off putting. Sebastian could have done the whole story.

Heartfelt

Loved the story and the characters. The narration was good. But the female reading was awesome for the main character but I hated the other voices she used for male characters.

Loved the storyline

This was a great overall story but the narration...ugh. Love Sabation and Grace was fine in a female but when Jace is talking in Grace's "male voice" it's unbearable to listen to. It's like "he" grunts...very bad. I will read the book sometime and enjoy it much more.

Emotional, steamy, heartbreaking & uplifting!

There are not enough praise adjectives that can do justice to this audio. Starting with the story, I believe that the way the characters were written and developed was basically pure genius. Two imperfect people, each in their our search for something to complete or heal their lives, and it was only with each other that they were able to see past the hurt of the past and the uncertainty of the future that that they were able to accept the present and that being able to love and live is a gift. I am a sucker for redemption stories so I was taken through this journey and I loved every minute of it. Sebastian York delivered an outstanding performance! A new favorite for sure! Grace Grant is, as always, sublime and purely magical! Ava Harrison has outdone herself with this story and this audio!! BRAVO!

Heart-Rending

Absolution is a beautiful tale of angst, raw passion, and love that is portrayed in a realistic way.
I struggled with writing this review as I had mix sentiments with this audiobook. As, I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. I just don't know if it was just the character's personalities I just didn't relish, as they were fleshed out. The narrative is eloquently scripted and integrated, just not my favourite.

Sebastian York was an excellent choice for male narator. His performance was impeccable with just the right amount of angst in the right places. The pace & tone flows through smoothly with a baritone voice that changes when necessary.

Grace Grant Is a new narator as I haven't listened to her before. I struggled with listening to her portions as she didn't fit the part in my opinion. Her male voices were revolting.
I honestly think I would have enjoyed the ebook more because of the female narrator. Nothing personal, I just don't think her voice was right for this one.

I'm looking forward to listening to other books by Ava Harrison.
