***5 ‘Family’ Stars***
I’ve loved and ADORED these books and the characters that run wild through them from the start and was, obviously, excited to get my hands on this one, not only because Axel was going to finally be brought to his knees, but because I just wanted to hang out with the Haven crew as a whole because they are simply a hell of a lot of fun and I wasn’t at all disappointed in any way. In fact, as a while, this is my favorite of the series because it gave me everything I had been hoping for, and a few things I didn’t know I wanted, and in the end, had me wishing there were more words to read because I didn’t want my time with this motley crew to end.
I adored Axel and Lizzie, not that it comes as a surprise in any way shape or form, but they definitely had me entertained throughout the entire book. Axel is all kinds of alpha AF male goodness...and “good” is the operative word here. He’s protective, loyal, compassionate and has a quick and devious mind that simply makes him all that more appealing. Lizzie is a strong woman who’s been burned in the worst of ways, but hasn’t let it get her down ~ at least not in all ways. I loved how she picked herself up (with a little help from some amazing friends) and didn’t give up on what she was passionate about. She may have trust issues, but once she gets the lay of the land, she is all kinds of sweet, sassy and gives as good as she gets.
To say Axel and Lizzie’s journey to their HEA was hot, is an understatement...even nuclear doesn’t do them any justice. From the moment they collided, sparks flew and I knew that there was no way they wouldn’t end up together. But while things are HAWT between them, things do not happen quickly. I loved watching Axel being made to practice patience, while never losing that alpha AF edge he has. As for Lizzie, it gave her the necessary time to see that Axel truly loved every piece of her and only wanted to help give her the world.
I’m pretty sure I’ve said this in each book I’ve reviewed in this series, but a good portion of my love comes from the Haven crew. From the mom’s, the brothers and their women and all the way down to Levi and Mary, I simply LOVE hanging out with all of them and seeing how all of their relationships have evolved and made them all stronger, and this one has all kinds of family goodness going on and I couldn’t get enough of it (and as an FYI, I still want to grow up to be like the mom’s). This has been a fun series to read and am crossing my toes that we’ll see more of the brothers in the future (Ok. I know there will be a few sightings at least) because there are still a couple who need HEA’s...just sayin’ *BSEG*

The Men of Haven: fierce passion, unyielding loyalty.
Especially when it comes to their women.
Axel McKee abandoned his musical career years ago in favor of becoming a power player on the music scene. His dreams of the spotlight are over—and he’s better off for it. Working with his Haven brothers and building their empire is enough for him.
One who commanded attention with nothing more than a look
And then came Lizzy. A dynamic, beautiful powerhouse of a performer unlike any he’s seen or heard before. Her presence leaps off stage and into the heart of anyone who watches her sing. Axel wants her. Wants to help her and collaborate with her… But more than anything, he wants to be with her.
And every ounce of his attention was locked on her
Two things are immediately obvious: Lizzy’s been burned before, and earning her trust will be Axel’s biggest challenge yet. If he can get this fierce, stubborn, talented woman to see the passion and care that he’s offering, he might get a chance at a new dream—sharing the spotlight with the woman he loves.
