Three men brought together by circumstance who found something none of them knew they needed...Ren Barretti has finally come home after a year of being held captive by the terrorists who slaughtered his entire Special Forces team. But he can't escape the nightmares that torment him or the guilt that he was the only one to walk away. The life his older brothers have brought him home to doesn't exist for him anymore and to keep them and their loved ones safe from the rage and pain that consume him, Ren needs to disappear.Police Detective Declan Hale has felt an undeniable pull towards the very straight Ren Barretti since the day Ren's brother married Declan's younger sister almost a dozen years earlier. But even though the Ren who has come home isn't the one who left, all of Declan's feelings come rushing back to the surface and he steps in to help the only man he's ever truly wanted. And even though there's no future for them, keeping Ren safe is all that matters and Declan will risk anything to make that happen.Tough as nails former soldier and mercenary Jagger Varos has returned to Seattle after years of running from his past and he's hoping that joining Barretti Security Group will help him finally call the city he left behind home. But within weeks, his new beginning is tested after multiple run-ins with the gruff, infuriating Detective Hale. When he inadvertently discovers that Declan is hiding Ren from the very brothers offering Jagger a new start, Jagger finds himself torn between his newfound loyalty to Vin and Dom Barretti and the need to protect the young man he himself helped rescue from his captors.For Declan and Jagger, it's hate at first sight but they soon realize that they will need each other if they have any hope of saving Ren from himself. And neither of them expects their mutual distrust in one another to grow into something else entirely or that Ren himself will find in both of them what he needs to rebuild his life and come to terms with who he really is.Can the fierce attraction between three men become something more or will the demands of the real world tear them apart?Note: This book contains explicit M/M/M content and is intended for mature audiencesAlthough this book is part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone.

Survival

Ren had survived the unsurvivable and needed to learn how to live again. Jagger and Declan were the ones to help him do just that. What a great love story. ( )
  Jenx9000 | May 9, 2020 |
[Jagger] closed his eyes and smiled when he felt a pair of lips brush over his. He had no idea whose they were and the fact that it didn’t matter scared the shit out of him. But he did the only thing he could do and returned the kiss with everything he had left in him.

This is the emotion I want to feel coming from characters in a M/M/M book when all three of the characters are working towards a committed relationship. With those lines Sloan Kennedy succeeded in making me believe in the growing love between Jagger, Declan, and Ren; something I am not always able to believe in when reading a love story like this.
What was supposed to be a night of simple fucking was turning into something entirely different and even though he knew it was too fast and it wasn’t something any of them could sustain, he wanted it more than he’d ever wanted anything else in his entire life. He finally had a chance to be part of something amazing and even if it was for only one night, he sure as hell was going to take full advantage.

Don't be deceived by the title; Ren is not the only one in this book who needs saving. Jagger and Declan both have their own ghosts tormenting them. This could have easily been an annoying, roll-your-eyes book full of angst and drama considering all three needed saving. Thankfully, since I really dislike angst, these guys were able to work things out with enough drama to keep things interesting without driving me nuts.

Not that this is so mega noteworthy or anything, but I did really like the fact that there was about a three month time span during which time the relationship grew. Sure, the sexin' times came early on (Thank you, Sloan Kennedy!), but there was growth during that time as all three men learned about each other (and themselves). No insta-love. Oh, oh, and I forgot! It has one of my favorite little tropes: enemies to lovers. Maybe not enemies, but there was some definite dislike going on between Jagger and Declan when they first met. Of course, now that I think of it, maybe not "enemies to lovers." Maybe more like, "Shit, he's an ass but he sure is hot." Whatever you want to call it, it worked for me.

Highly recommend. Not too happy to have to wait for Zane and Connor, though. I'm not too fond of delayed gratification in any form but especially not when I've just discovered a new-to-me author and realize I have to wait for the next book. And boy do I want to know what drives Zane and I can't wait to find out more about Connor's injury. I think I might just have to sign up for the author's newsletter so I don't miss out. (It took me five whole days to realize Saving Ren had come out. The horror!)
