Trusted & True

I love the characters in this novel. especially Danny and Callie. Their imperfections, vulnerability, and loyalty to family by blood or choice. I enjoyed their honest communication, which nowadays can be very challenging. I couldn't put this book down, I had to read it cover to cover (digitally). Thank you to Rhenna Morgan for writing all 7 books (I read them all). Your 📚 books gave me the escape I need during my cancer journey. I am looking forward to reading more captivating stories in the future. I am definitely a fan.

This was high angst, deep emotion and intense steam. While I’m not a fan of stories that involve recovering from any type of substance abuse, I have to admit that this one was a little easier to read. The ugly, hard core, bottom of the barrel recovery had already been dealt with and Callie was currently dealing with how to live life as a recovering addict, which is even harder but for me, as stated, easier to read. I didn’t know if I was going to like either one of these characters, but before long, they had both shown traits that I could connect with. Danny ends up being everything I love in a hero and actually more due to his actions and reactions to a recovering Callie. He was definitely there to protect her, even when that meant allowing her to find her own way. This had a lot of the Haven family, along with plenty of drama and action surrounding Callie. The chemistry between Danny and her was steamy and I loved watching them both deal with it from its first stages to the point where they yielded. Overall, this was a beautiful story and I was so glad to have a chance to jump back into this world again.

I was so happy to be back in the world of the Men of Haven. This time we get Danny and Callie’s story. When I first realized who Callie was, I felt some trepidation since she had not been much of a sympathetic character at the start of the series. But at the beginning of this story, when we meet Callie again, she has made some drastic changes in her life and is a completely different person. Callie hit her absolute rock bottom about a year ago and now that staying sober seems to be working, she moves back home to begin the process of making amends to those who mean the most to her. By coincidence she runs into Danny again when goes in to his custom build/design garage looking for work. Danny and Callie’s story is slow burn and I enjoyed watching their relationship progress slowly as they spent time together getting to know each other. There was a lot in this story that can resonate for anyone who has ever made mistakes in their lives and look to make changes and have a second chance. This seemed a little bit of a different change of pace from some of the previous books in the series, but it really worked for me. I'm hoping we have more in the series still to come - I love this world!
