Haven by Rebekah Weatherspoon is the first book in the "Beards & Bondage" trilogy. Haven is about Shep, a grumpy nature photographer who lives out in the woods in Northern California and Claudia, a fashionista from the city. Claudia takes a trip out the Northern California wilderness for a week long get away, but the trip ends in mayhem and Claudia is tasked with trying to survive the night. With no where else to run, Claudia ends up at Shep's door and she's desperate for help. Shep saves Claudia but now both of them are forever changed. To help with the healing process, Shep and Claudia begin a week long sexual relationship, one that includes BDSM session after session. Claudia learns how to be the perfect submissive, and Shep dominates her wonderfully.
This started off really strong with a thriller element and even thoughthe thriller element dies down towards the middle of the book , the book still kept my attention for it's duration. I do think the characters could have had a little more development, but this is an erotica so we got more spicy scenes than character development.
I'm unsure of how to rate the spicy scenes, they were good but I didn't love them. I appreciated that they used a condom in every scene, because the two had just met. The scenes didn't move me in a way that I wanted them to. Keep in mind that all the scenes are BDSM related in some way. I'm giving it three chilies 🌶️🌶️🌶️ out of five chilies
Overall this erotica was okay, I wish there was a better balance between the romance and spicy scenes. I'm giving this 3.5 out of 5 stars.
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 - 3.5/5 Stars

I loved these characters. This is dark and heavy at some points though but they are committed to working through the trauma.

The pacing seem a little strange to me but I think that might just be that most of the romances I've read didn't have such healthy, open communication that grounds the story slightly more in reality.

Ugh, I love Rebekah Weatherspoon. I don't know what I was expecting from this book but it literally starts with the hero sexting someone / opening his front door to a woman screaming for help / shooting a man.
Shep isn't a perfect hero. I actually liked the imperfections, the arguments, the stiffness, the awkwardness between him and Claudia throughout the book.
I do wish we got an epilogue or a longer reunion between them but... maybe in book 2 they'll cameo!
