đź“š Synopsis (Spoiler-Free):
The fifteenth instalment in the Haven, Texas series, Renard’s Deliverance follows a familiar formula — small-town charm, possessive men, and protective dynamics. This time, it’s Renard’s turn to find his match. The heroine is older than many previous leads, adding a slight twist to the series' usual setup. There's some humour, some spice, and the ever-present theme of healing through love, set against the backdrop of a community that runs on secrecy and strong opinions.

🧠My Thoughts:
I’ve loved earlier books in this series, but they’re starting to lose their charm. This one had glimmers of what used to make the series feel addictive, but by book 15, the formula’s beginning to wear thin. Honestly, the series probably could’ve wrapped up a few books ago.

That said, I did enjoy that the FMC is nearly 30 — although the way she’s written sometimes makes her feel much older, which was a bit odd. Renard himself is a highlight: gruff, funny, and just the right amount of soft underneath the surface.
You could absolutely read this one and enjoy it if you’ve made it this far, but I wouldn’t recommend starting here. In fact, if you’re new to the series, I’d say read through book 12 and stop there. That’s when it still had its spark.
