Haven

Beards and Bondage, Book 1

By: Rebekah Weatherspoon

Narrated by: Royal Jaye, Kylah Williams

The first in a new series from award-winning author Rebekah Weatherspoon....

A weeklong getaway...

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.

...saved by bliss.

The two begin an intense, passionate relationship of dominance and submission, pleasure and pain, but with dark memories haunting them and decisions about the future rapidly approaching, Claudia can’t help but wonder...how long can they be each other's haven?

Warning: This book contains a sexual relationship between a fashionista and a cranky mountain man who are dealing with physical and emotional trauma. And a very big, cuddly dog.

Not Her Best Book but they get much better

This book read like a freshman attempt. It was clumsy and only mildly entertaining. The male voice attempting to narrate the woman’s voice was not great. I’ve read other great books by this author and look forward to others but this wasn’t one of them.

HOT and Hotter!!!

This was so intense, captivating and for the mature audience!!! I’m downloading the next book in the series immediately!

trauma bonding, but make it sexy

I wasn't going to read this because trauma bonding is not usually my thing, but Weatherspoon takes so much time doing character development and world building that it felt like two messed up people falling in love, not like 'finding each other instead of therapy'. The voices were well done, great acting.

Sexyyyyy Romance!

This book was such a lusty and emotional rollercoaster! I really fell in love with Shep (he’s such a great guy!) and my heart went out to Claudia the entire book. What a great pair for this sensual read! I loved every minute of this story. This is my second book by this author and both times she strikes a great balance between the character’s narrative and steamy sex scenes to keep you reading.

The narration left much to be desired though. Shep and Claudia’s voices were good when they were narrating their own parts. However, when either character impersonated the other the voice that was used was disorienting and not very pleasing to the ear.

Trauma Bond

Absolutely felt this. Love how cute and playful the female lead character is, even when dealing with trauma. Love the story line too!
