Haven
Tropical paradise. Forbidden desire. Unexpected love.
He’s not a prick, a jerk, or a loose cannon. But with surfer abs, dark brown eyes, and a tongue like a hummingbird, Grace wants him like no one else. It was supposed to be one wicked night. The best fling of her life on an island getaway. A few hours later? Everything changes. He’s not a stranger at all. He’s her brand-new stepbrother. She should ignore the forbidden lust. The raging need. But she can’t. Jack might be her forever.
Sexy curves and pouty lips. Her body pinned against the hotel hallway, begging for him. The hottest one-night stand Jack’s ever had. But Grace is way more than a quickie—she’s his new stepsister. It doesn’t change the desire. Against the door, bent over, even on her knees. Not just a fling in this safe haven. But back home, every day and all night long.
Reader Note: This steamy, standalone novella was previously published as Step Into Paradise under a different name. It contains mature situations intended for adult audiences only. Cliffhanger free!

Haven was another short and sexy novella by Marie Carnay. Similar to Bound, it was a Stepbrother romance, devoid of a complex plot, and was an uber sexy erotic romance. I liked the premise of the story yet I was desiring slightly more. Haven was enjoyable and perfect for a quick and light read when needing something in between dark plots.

I Loved It!
I loved it! It is so hot and steamy. This book makes me wish for a stepbrother like Jack. What starts out as a fantasy coming true, but then goes to being a nightmare as they are watching their parents get married, but after that? Wow!! I highly recommend this for anyone who likes their books hot, steamy, and a little dirty, but with a great storyline.

I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
Grace is in the Bahamas for her father's wedding. She has just broken up with her cheating ex, and meets a hot man in the bar. Grace decides to go for it and have a one night stand with a gorgeous stranger. Fantastic story, hot sex and some nice surprising twists!
