The brawny Dom and the beautiful Diva—and the secrets they keep
A personal trainer and part-time escort, Liam is burly, bossy, and perfectly cast as the resident Dom at the Haven Hotel. And if anything falls outside that box—like the lacy lingerie he keeps hidden in his gym bag—that’s easily ignored, right?
Felix’s career as a successful model means being at the beck and call of anyone who requires him. He’s expected to be satisfied with glamour, money, and subservience. No one would ever believe his secret desire to take control.
When Liam agrees to show the outrageously pretty and delicate Felix around Liam’s infamous Room 8, neither one expects the disobedient desire that sparks between two such opposite men. Felix is looking for a lover who’ll let him call the shots, whereas Liam is fighting the desire to submit. Their passion and power could make for a kinky role reversal.
They just have to surrender to their deepest needs.

My favourite of the series so far. Highly recommended.

This was so good. Liam is the Haven's resident Dom, and his world gets turned upside down when his client (Felix) comes in and makes Liam become the sub. It was such a great role reversal and eye opener for both Liam and Felix. I love the Haven family, and it was nice to visit with all of them again. This is a very enjoyable series, and I hope they continue.

Liam is the fourth book in the ‘Love at the Haven’ series. It stars Liam, Dom at the Haven Hotel and a personal gym trainer, and Felix, a famous model. It’s told in first person from both Liam and Felix’s povs.
I’ve read quite a few books in this series and I was looking forward to this one. The blurb is accurate and made this story sound interesting. Sadly, I don’t think it’s quite up to the other books. This contains light BDSM, but don’t be turned off by that.
In books with BDSM, I expect there to be rules and those would be stated at the beginning of the people playing together. When Liam meets Felix, he starts to explain that Liam is in charge and not to touch any of the toys in the room. But instead, Felix says since he’s the customer he’s in charge and can call the shots. This is where the story turned on its head, annoyed me, and it never recovered. Once they got to the room, Felix and Liam should have sat down and discussed what they wanted. If Felix wanted Liam to be a sub so Felix could learn about being a Dom, that should have been stated. Instead, Felix just started winging it. And since Liam was thinking with his other head, he just let Felix do it. I found it very unsettling that the two of them didn’t discuss anything and didn’t follow any rules. Just using light signals for warnings. Once the scene reached the room and Felix and BDSM went off script, I put the book down and had a difficult time picking it up again to finish reading it. I ended up reading one chapter before setting it down again, or reading another book I picked up because this story bothered me too much on how Liam and Felix had no rules for their BDSM relationship.
What bothered me also, was that Felix was all about Felix, he was selfish. He seemed to want the companionship so he bought Liam’s time as a personal trainer and a sub. He wanted Liam to express his emotions, but Felix didn’t. He didn’t see how uncomfortable Liam was at times but only cared about how strong Liam’s submission made Felix feel. He was an extremely selfish person. Liam was confused, but his concerns and worries are clear in the story. Both Felix and Liam were both messes, not knowing what they wanted from each other, other than sex. Their pairing didn’t work for me and I couldn’t see them as a couple.
I found Liam to be the most disappointing of the books I’ve read in this series so far. I really didn’t like how the BDSM negotiations and rules were ignored. I didn’t like Felix and how he wasn’t good at handling Liam’s vulnerability. I couldn’t believe in them as a couple. The fact that I had to constantly put the book down after reading only a chapter at a time, told me how this story grated me. Therefore, I can only give this book, 2 Stars. I really wanted to like this one, but unfortunately, I didn’t.

Liam and Felix have a kind of instant chemistry that felt deeply plausible, and I liked that the dynamic they settled into was one that fit them both perfectly, despite any preconceived notions that they, or others, might have held. While all the stories set in this world make the general premise— rent boys working out of a London hotel that has its own sense of family and community— work, Liam and Felix were probably my favorite take on the “falling for your client” angle that often goes along with that premise. Well worth a read.

The brawny Dom and the beautiful Diva—and the secrets they keep
A personal trainer and part-time escort, Liam is burly, bossy, and perfectly cast as the resident Dom at the Haven Hotel. And if anything falls outside that box—like the lacy lingerie he keeps hidden in his gym bag—that’s easily ignored, right?
Felix’s career as a successful model means being at the beck and call of anyone who requires him. He’s expected to be satisfied with glamour, money, and subservience. No one would ever believe his secret desire to take control.
When Liam agrees to show the outrageously pretty and delicate Felix around Liam’s infamous Room 8, neither one expects the disobedient desire that sparks between two such opposite men. Felix is looking for a lover who’ll let him call the shots, whereas Liam is fighting the desire to submit. Their passion and power could make for a kinky role reversal.
They just have to surrender to their deepest needs.
This book was such a refreshing take on romance and roles. Can the lovely men let go of all expectations and take hold of what they need? I loved the writing, and some bits really made me laugh out loud.
Liam is a gym trainer and Dom for hire. Felix is a waif-like model. Who is going to be the bossy top in this scenario? Well, when the Dom is being hired, he might just do as he is told!
The characters in the story were clearly crafted and charming. I loved that Felix became almost a different man in the room with Liam. Their connection was electric, and the I loved the rich cast of supporting characters with some varied representation I adored.
The journey both men went on was a rollercoaster and their contrasting characters was lovely. I read the whole thing in one sitting (sleep is for wimps!) because it was it was such a fun read.
Recommended!

A wonderful addition to the Rent Boys series.
I loved Liam’s story and I think maybe it’s my new favourite, though they are all so good it’s hard to choose.
Liam works part-time as a rent boy at the Haven Hotel and is their resident Dom. Felix is looking for a way to be himself and escape his life, booking Liam gives him the chance to do just that. I can only think of one word to describe Felix and that is magnificent; he was magnificent in the way he took control, found his real self and finally became assertive and took control of his life. At the same time, he allowed Liam to finally acknowledge parts of himself that he’d always suppressed and acknowledge what he too wanted. It was almost a coming out story as their roles reversed and they both found what they hadn’t realised they needed.
Liam and Felix are both wonderful characters and their instant chemistry made them so hot together. Their story both raised me up and at times sent me into despair as they worked towards and found their HEA.
This was a lovely romance that was a sweet, sexy, low angst read with such a satisfying ending. Although it’s part of a series it can easily be read as a stand-alone. Highly recommended.

I have just binged all four books in this series and I'm completely hooked. Stella has created a series about rent boys working out of a rundown London hotel and made all the characters sympathetic and real. Each book is better than the last.
I have to admit that I loved all the escorts and their loves but Liam and Felix totally captured my heart. Personal trainer Liam's physique means he is perfectly cast as the Haven's Dom whilst androgynous international model Felix is the epitome of a twink. Both are harbouring secrets and when their eyes meet for the first time, the force of their attraction makes their knees nearly buckle.
Liam knows that his professional relationship with Felix, at both the Haven and the gym, is all they will ever have and that hurts. Felix wants more but doesn't want to overstep with Liam. Both find their hidden selves when together and they need each other so badly but neither can find the courage to tell the other how their feelings are growing and changing.
I loved everything about these two men. Their looks, their personalities, their attraction to each other, everything was perfect. If there are more books in this series, their love story will be hard to beat.

LIAM by Stella Shaw
This addition to the Haven Hotel series is quite different in that it features Liam (the dom) and the mysterious "Room 8" and the introduction of a bit of mild BDSM.
The story is told with this author's usual (almost) tongue in cheek humour and a few unexpected surprises along the way.
Both Felix and Liam are really charming, likeable characters.
I loved that Felix took the initiative in what he wanted and that the big, tough Liam got to experience a side of himself that he'd kept hidden.
These two were so perfect for each other.
As always, this book is well written and relatively angst free.
Some great steamy times and good character and world building.
The side characters are also wonderfully interactive without overwhelming the story (oh Tom! I absolutely love Tom!)
Highly recommended.
The only reason I dropped 1 star on this, is that I, personally, am not entirely comfortable with BDSM elements. This has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on how good the book is.

This is another good romance that begins in the Haven Hotel between a sex worker and a client.
Liam is the resident dominant, a safe outlet for his clients to explore submission and what that means to them. Felix is a model, slim and beautiful, but the men are both surprised to discover when they're alone that Felix wants to be the one in control. Even more surprising, Liam finds that it's easier than he would believe to be the one submitting.
This story is especially sexy, with lots of humor, confusion, and frustration thrown in. Both men have the support of their friends, including recurring character Tom, who is truly one of a kind. Both main characters are easy to relate to, despite their unreliable lifestyles. Underneath the professions of escort and model, these are just people who need and deserve love. It's wonderful to see them find that.
This is the fourth book in this series, and each has been sexy and sweet. I look forward to reading more tales of romance from the Haven. I love the men who work there, and I can't wait for more of them to meet their perfect matches.

We met Liam in the previous books, but this time we get his journey to love and a happy ever after. I’m going to lead with the fact that don’t read books with BDSM in it, but that’s my preference, not anyone else’s. I wasn’t going to read this book because it’s been no secret that Liam and his clients partake in it. That said, I’ve enjoyed the entire series and I struggled with skipping this book. So I settled on reading it, but skipping certain scenes as they came along. While they are stand alone books, there are things in each book that kind of make it where I would recommend reading in order, or you’ll miss out on some great moments and different looks into Liam’s life. That said, if you start here, you won’t even know what you’ve missed…so…up to you, really. This series is fun to read. It’s easy to like the characters and engage in the storyline.

“Nothing makes us so lonely as our secrets.” ~ Paul Tournie
On the surface, Liam appears to have everything in his life under control, particularly with the clients he entertains as an escort at the Haven. For the men who desire to be dominated, Liam is their man. But when Liam meets the beautiful, slender Felix, the last thing he expects is that Felix wants Liam to become the subservient one.
Felix enjoys the lifestyle that his modeling career affords him, but he is sick of feeling like a commodity instead of a person. Also, he is tired of being told what to do and when to do it. Felix longs to control at least one part of his life but isn’t sure how to go about it. So when his best friend tells him about the Haven, he makes an appointment. Felix is unsure what he is looking for, but when Felix meets Liam, dressed in a harness and leather pants, he has found it.
Liam thinks Felix is beautiful and loves the idea of getting his hands on that lithe body. However, it concerns him that Felix may be too fragile for the rough treatment he dishes out to his regular clients. Liam is uncertain that he and Felix are a good fit. So he double-checks with Felix to ensure that this is what he wants. The first meeting is an introductory session in which the client and escort get to know each other, show what services they offer, and determine their wants. Then, Liam watches as Felix looks over the equipment and toys while wondering what the man is thinking. Felix ignores most of the paraphernalia until he picks up a pair of handcuffs. Although Liam is still considering that Felix may not be into what he does, he starts a lecture about how it is not for everyone and that everything in that room is by mutual consent. Felix assures him he understands the conditions right before he slaps the handcuffs on Liam.
When Felix handcuffs Liam, he is as shocked as Liam that he can take control like this, but Felix knows that this fulfills a desire he hasn’t even been able to admit to himself. Whether Liam will allow their role reversal is a different matter, but if Liam’s reaction to being dominated is any clue, then the answer is yes. The session concludes with a spectacular blow job with Liam still handcuffed, kneeling before Felix. They both know that this will not be their last session.
Liam and Felix are exceptional characters who, although I do not understand the dynamics of their relationship, admired their strength and determination to adjust their separate lives to form a life together. Thanks, Stella, for another passionate story from the Haven series.

Thank you for the ARC read, I voluntarily give this book an honest review. Liams newest client could just very well complex his life more then he was ready for, after all when Felix turned the tables on him, he finds his world on a dangerous axle. Felix wasn't left unscathed by the night with Liam either. As a shy model by day, he finds that dominate side rising to the surface. Wow just wow I so enjoyed the turn of events in this book with the bad boy Liam finding a match that he was never really looking forward to having and the gym scene was OMG hilariously embarrassing. Their time together turned out to more complications then either could realise when Felix job takes him away.

5 stars
When Liam and Felix see each other for the first time, neither of them seem to be able to look away. I fell in love with both characters right from the start.
When Liam looks into Felix's eyes, he is almost hypnotized with lust. The connection they have is so powerful, but is Liam ready when Felix wants to dominate him? Can Liam let go of being in charge long enough to find out?
As the story unfolded you just felt so involved in their lives and romance. I loved everything about this book.

Liam is a delightful and kinky addition to the Love at the Haven series. I really enjoyed the role reversal between Liam and Felix; it’s refreshing and well-handled, especially regarding Liam’s reservations about his desire to submit. Their chemistry is amazing and it’s completely satisfying when Felix takes initiative in going after the control that he wants, and with Liam finally getting to explore the hidden side of himself. A well-written and relatively low-angst book, in which the two MCs find the unexpected in one another.
June 22, 2021
I absolutely loved how nothing was what you expected it to be and watching Liam and Felix developed their bond, you had a certain hardness from Liam and Felix's softness was an interesting contrast. I got a bit sad when things got misconstrued and it looked like everything was falling apart. The supportive boys at the Haven were amazing and so protective of each other, I enjoyed each part they played and Tom's cheekiness. You find strength in the most unexpected of places.
June 22, 2021
I adore this series and Stella didn’t disappoint, characters had substance, friends who support one another, angst because of lack of communication between Liam and Felix. Fantasies come true and the hottest sensual scenes that had me wanting more. I was spellbound to the end.

Loved, loved, loved Liam and Felix!!! I think this was my favorite of all the rent boys!! Liam was sooo freakin kinky! I loved the role reversal, Liam submitting to Felix was perfect! Liam and Felix were fire together! Overall, the story had a great pace, was really well written, highly recommend. I’m voluntarily leaving a review from an advanced copy that I received.

Great addition to the series!
I liked Felix and Liam's story. I liked when Felix would use his Dom voice on Liam. I liked Liam but he was a little thick headed at times and pushed Felix away instead of communicating with him like he should have as a Dom. I loved Felix throughout the book. This was another great addition to the series.

Liam and Felix are a case of opposites attract and communication is needed in all relationships. This is a kinda quirky mixed up read of a Dom who loves lace and a model who oh wants to Dom.
The characters are well written, it has a small amount of angst and drama but lots of love and friendships.
This is a wondeful addition to this series by Stella.

Room 8. This was unique and interesting, especially since this is a different version of Liam than I've known from the previous books in this series, and I enjoyed that aspect. The support Liam got from fellow rent boys was touching. I admired Felix's strength to do what was necessary to wake Liam up! Looking forward to more.
June 22, 2021
Stella has done it again. This is Liam and Felix's story. Their instant chemistry made them so hot together. This was a hot, steamy, low angst, sweet and sexy romance with a great ending. It can be read as a stand-alone but I do recommend you read the other 3 books as well.
I received this book as an Advanced Readers Copy.

It is so good getting back to the Haven Hotel and learning about the relationship between Liam and Felix. A wonderful role reversal that brings out the strengths in the other.
The writing is so comfortable you feel you are in the company of old friends. Super cover model.

Liam was the escort to call if someone wanted to be dominanted. Felix was a model that as tired of people telling him what to do and wanted to dominate and Liam accepted it after being surprised the first time. Felix also had Liam as his personal trainer at the gym were getting close but Liam called quits. But Felix wore Liam down and they admitted how they felt for the other person. Good book!

Another lovely tale from the Haven, with butch resident dom and daytime personal trainer Liam meeting his match and finding his vulnerable side with Felix, a fragile-looking successful model. The role reversal is delicious and the way these two slowly reveal their true selves to each other makes this another delightful read in this terrific series.

I loved this book and highly recommend. A sexy, stunning beautiful male model and a muscly ripped Adonis. HEA. Plenty of steam. An easy five stars. Stella Shaw has done it again with a great story in the haven series.

Loved it
I think this is my favourite book so far in this series. I loved the contrast between Liam and Felix as well as the fact that outward appearances do not necessarily match who they are on the inside.

I love this series and the boys at Haven Hotel. I was really into Liam’s story and couldn’t wait to see where it took me. It did not disappoint. Felix and Liam struggle ti get on the same page but in the end its an HEA. Definitely a must read!

I am absolutely obsessed with this series! The Haven Hotel is so unique (as unique as the men who work there) and this was a wonderful addition to the series. Liam and Felix set the pages on fire - sweet, sexy and surprising, this was amazing!

Liam is the third book in the series and follows Liam and Felix’s story. It is an overall quick and steamy read with a nice storyline and interesting characters. Well worth the read and looking forward to reading the other rent-boy's stories in the Haven hotel.

I loved this latest addition to the series. Liam, a lace living dom, getting the tables turned on him by his latest client, Felix.
The characters are well develloped and I really enjoyed reading their story!
I really like this series and it gets better with every book added!
