About this listen

Eric knows what he needs...he just doesn't think anyone else will want it, too.

He's finally reached his breaking point. There's only so many times he can put himself out there and get shot down. After a disastrous first date at a BDSM club, Eric is ready to walk away and push his desires to the furthest reaches of his mind - but then up walks Marcus. But just because the sexy older man is looking for a submissive doesn't mean he's looking to be someone's daddy.

Marcus knows what he wants, and he's spent months getting everything perfect for his boy...now he just needs to find him.

When Marcus sees Eric at Bound & Controlled, he's immediately drawn to the sweet submissive who's desperately trying to hide his devastation. Marcus steps in when he sees the sub's evening going wrong, but he's not sure what the shy submissive is looking for. Just because he wants the boy to need a daddy doesn't mean he's going to get what he hopes for.

As they discover their mutual desires, Marcus is sure that Eric has the strength to go after what he yearns for; he just needs his daddy's help and love to see it.

I am not one to listen to books, in fact this was my first. Wow! I wish I’d done so sooner, I have already ready all of M.A. Innes work, however I adored reading this novel and was curious as to how it would transition over to audible.
I wasn’t disappointed, the narrator was wonderful allowing me to just sink into the story I love, while just getting on with my jobs. The tale of Eric and his “Daddy” is a touching one. Allowing you to follow Eric into explorations of his desires/kinks and needs whilst getting a good story and excellent character development with supporting characters. (And some naughty times😉). An incredibly enjoyable listen, and I look forward to trying some more!

Excellent listen

I really enjoyed this book as m.a.innes has really thought through this story, which is evident by the fact that rather rushing the story she has chosen to tell it over two books. This gives us readers the chance to really see the development of the relationship between Eric and his daddy Marcus.

Kenneth obi has chosen the perfect voices for both characters, and allowed the listener to lean back and listen to a great story. I have listened to this a number of times awaiting the next book in this series.

Brilliant story and excellent narration

A great book from M.A. Innes.
This is my first book that delves so fully into the Daddy/Boy relationship.
I definitely enjoyed it and it gave me different aspects to a world that I'm unfamiliar with.
Eric is a silently strong character who has to learn to love and accept what he wants and that someone else will love him just the way he is.
Marcus is someone who desperately wants to find his boy and by some miracle, comes across him at the club he frequents. However, getting Eric to accept them and their wants may be the hardest thing he's worked for.
The characters are well written. The world that they belong to and the friends that are a part of it provide support and companionship in times where it's extremely important.
I love the affection that they show for each other, how quickly it comes about as it seems important for Eric to know that his needs are ok, great even, when it comes to Marcus and their inner circle of friends.
It's only 4 stars for me as I wasn't too keen once we got into the more in depth character aspects once they settled into their Daddy and Boy roles but that's just my own feelings on that.
Kenneth Obi does a wonderful job of narrating this book. I enjoyed his personalisation for each MC, both for their inner monologue and their speech. He conveys feelings very well and drew me into the story of the two characters.
I'd definitely recommend to those who love a bit of Daddy kink, fans of M.A. Innes and fans of Kenneth as it's brilliant work from both of them.
I received a copy of this book and am happily giving a review

A wonderful story of accepting yourself

I loved both Eric and Marcus and it was adorable watching Eric grow into his little side. I cannot wait for the next book. If you enjoy M/M romance and Ageplay, this is a book for you and Kenneth has done an amazing job with the narration!

Love it!

Love listening to Kenneth narrating MA Innes stories . Listening to Eric beginning to reach out for what he wants , and Marcus being there giving him the encouragement and being a loving daddy.
Would recommend this audio brings the book to life

Brilliant

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I love how the author brings to life so,so well, the feelings of each character. By the end of the book l was totally in love with sweet , shy Eric as a "little" .As for Marcus, what a caring and patient and thoughtful "Daddy" he made. Together they worked so hard to support and complement each others needs , while making me squirm and smile throughout.

As with this authors other fetish books, by the end of the story l feel l have complete understanding and sympathy with all the characters.
Loved it.

What other book might you compare Silent Strength to, and why?

I felt the same strength of love and adoration with this authors Flawed Perfection book too.

Have you listened to any of Kenneth Obi’s other performances? How does this one compare?

This is my first time listening to Kenneth Obi, and l thought his take on both the characters voices was really enjoyable.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This story made me laugh out loud several times . The reluctance of Eric to actually bring his fantasies out of his head and in to life was so cute and funny. On the other hand his homophobic family and bad high school memories were very heart breaking to read.

A real eye opener for this alternative lifestyle

The story is always full stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. Kenneth Obi is one of the top 3 narrators (so far) for me, I can listen without break and have no problems to follow. I'm just not yet finish with the book, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

as great as the ebook

I was super curious about this book and eager to jump in. It had me connected enough to finish it in almost one sitting. I found the story line and the content super intriguing and unique. It handled the introduction of a new type of relationship really well and I felt connect to both of the characters and their lifestyle.

Kenneth's voice was perfectly cast for this series and he fit the characters spot on. I feel like he really nailed them and made the book even better.

very intriguing

I really enjoyed listening to this age play between Marcus (daddie) and Eric. Great watching them grow into their roles. Eric getting more confidence in his role. I have a weakness for this author books. Listening to them brings a lot more depth to the story. If I could give more then 5***** I would.

Another amazing audible
