City girl Claudia Cade's carefree life is plunged into chaos when a camping trip with her brother in the national forests of Northern California turns into a deadly dash for her survival.

A solitary world turned upside down...

Nature photographer Shepard Olsen has resigned himself to a quiet existence, with only his dog by his side, until a woman in need of his protection shows up on his doorstep and throws his universe into disarray.

Two lives linked by tragedy...

Claudia is desperate to heal from her traumatic loss, but can’t stop thinking about her run-in with evil….or the grizzled mountain man whose quick thinking and good aim saved her life. When she shows up on Shep's doorstep again, she finds she isn't the only one who can't move on.

Reviews for Haven

[Nic Graham · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Surprisingly little bondage for the title of the book to have the word in it. Was it a waste of time? No. I liked it enough, despite the sometimes odd audio shifts.

I think this book should've been 3x longer to give time to work into the trust building and communication that is necessary for this type of relationship, and to give time for a few more scenes. Her specific requests (that I was excited to see play out) felt a bit... forgotten.

3.25 stars ?
I really liked the premise of the story but something about their relationship felt a little rushed and underdeveloped. Considering it was a BDSM one, I think a lot more conversation and easing into it would have been totally necessary especially considering they were both suffering from PTSD,and she was grieving, had anxiety and panic attacks. Her mind space wasn't ready for that kind of relationship and I think he should have worked a little harder to make her comfortable and ease her into all that.
But what do I know? Lol.

Also why was she and Miles targeted? What happened there?? I had almost forgotten that this all happened. We should have gotten more information on all of it leading to the two main characters meeting.

I'm hoping I get to read the rest of the books in this series soon.
