First read by this author, and I will be checking out her catalog soon. Haven narrowly escapes the horrific abuse of her husband, only to find the smothering and belittling of her by her family felt just as bad. I understand that family wants to help, support, and protect you, but when the reins are kept so tight that you feel like you are imprisoned, how is that helping? 👀
I was drawn in during that first chapter. It was like I could feel Haven's pain, hear her thoughts, and feel her determination to get out of that situation, that she let go on for too long. But what now?
Somehow connecting with Joyce, Zayne, and Xavier seemed like a coincidence, but it had to be divine intervention. She needed that family to put her on the path to healing, in her own time and in her own way. I loved how they each gave her sound advice, kept her safe, and allowed her to regain her independence in a healthy way. Xavier was bae. 🤩 He wanted to protect Haven the moment he laid eyes on her and made sure he did just that. Even if it was protection from her own family.
I'm still giving Haven's momma the 👀, cause why didn't you listen to your child? You put her in this situation and sitting back without a care in the world. 😤 Momma needs to catch some hands. 😡 Phillip and Bliss' parents were trash. Why are you out here enabling these grown ass people when they doing wrong? 🤬 There were a few areas where the editing could have been tighter, but really enjoyed this read.

Good read.
This was the first read by this author. I really enjoyed this book. It was great to see the evolution of Haven. She decided she was no longer going to be a victim and she was going to fight back. Xavier and his family had her back and uplifted her way more than her family. I’m glad Haven got her HEA.

Safe in his embrace!
This book was heavy and brought out a vast amount of emotions in me. It made me weep for people that endure what Haven had from everyone around her family and her spouse. The power that she gained and strength through newfound freedom and friendships was admirable. Her family especially her mom made me mad with the way she was handled. Xavier loved and valued family even when he felt he lost some people closest to him he survived and pushed through. Though he nor Haven were looking for anything or anyone they soon discovered they’re meeting was no accident and they would find safety and peace amongst each other!

Good
Xavier and Haven's story was good. Haven was abused by her husband and the author detailed her fear and struggles well. Philip beat her so badly that surgery was needed. That's where Xavier comes in he's her surgeon. What I found interesting was that the stalker nurse, Denise nor anyone else referred to him as Dr Lockhart. When Joyce and Ernest were shot he couldn't get details but her sister Noelle was able to get more info??? Yeah that was a major misstep for the author.

The Love Of A Good Man!!
Did Denise think that Xavier people wasted going to check into her backgrounds? Now, if Haven’s mama gave Philip her number, she causing more harm than good. And is not because their mama’s been the best of friends. They knew Phillip terrorized Haven. Bliss parents are trash, they saw her self-distracting your

My Safe Haven 💜
This book really gave us a glimpse of domestic violence and the way it affects the whole family from different angles. We even got to see how years later from generation to generation the impact is felt. I love that Haven really empowered herself and didn’t need to be saved by another man! Great read!

I loved Haven and Xaxier. I wished that Haven's shitty excuse for a mom would of got her ass beat by Joyce. Haven whole family except Mike and Jacion needed therapy. Paige was such a fucking bitch. Im glad Philip and Bliss took they stupid asses to jail. Denise need to be right along with them.

Lovely
I will admit this book deserves a five star review; unfortunately, I gave it two stars because of vast amount of grammatical errors. I had decipher too many times throughout each chapter instead of just being able to relax and enjoy this book.

A new fan for sure.!
I loved this book so much. It was not drawn out and there was no breakup just steady love and showing up for each other. I'm going through her whole catalog after reading the Montgomery Inc series and I am impressed!

Ok Ms D’Mesha
I was locked in, it’s always the family that break a person down and think what’s good for them will always be good for the next person. I happy Haven found herself and a beautiful connection with some that loves her correctly. Great story telling Ms. D’Mesha..

Great Story
This story was very good. From the first page, I was rooting for Haven to get to where she needed to be. D'Mesha did her thing. I couldn't put the book down.

This was a good book. It started dragging for me a little but I got the gist.
