BLURB
Gabe D’Angelo has it all.
Designer clothes, luxury cars, a cool confidence most would envy, and a
never-ending supply of money—and men. When he arrived in Haven’s Cove to be
there for his best friend, he never imagined he’d end up extending his stay
indefinitely. Small town living isn’t so bad after all, and the views are
magnificent—especially the view of a sexy, rugged blond. But when that
mysterious, brooding man refuses all Gabe’s advances, he is forced to take a
step back and truly look at the person he’s become.
Nate Black moved from
Boston to Haven’s Cove for his family. He’s missed small town living and the
simple, tranquil life that comes with it. What he doesn’t bargain for is the
pushy, spoiled playboy who’s set his eyes on Nate as his next conquest. Knowing
this man has the potential to crack the foundation of his quiet life, Nate will
do everything he can to protect his safe, closed-off world.
Is one man worth loving? Is
the other worth the sacrifice? Or is the love they’re searching for not just hard
to get but completely out of reach?
Review
When I first agreed to do this review, I was informed that I would need to read the first book in the series. The blurb sounded absolutely amazing that I jumped at the chance. While agreeing to do reviews, for me anyway, I am always concerned about not meeting the deadline on time. However, once I started the first book in the series, I was hooked and the time flew before I was on to book two.
Jaclyn Quinn's series
" A Haven's Cove", is captivating from the moment you start the first
book. I was immediately immersed into the characters as well as their town,
families, and lives.
The character of Gabe
the all American rich boy, playboy type had me drawn to him since I was first
introduced to him. I knew he had a story but man, I was wrecked to the core
when his true self came to the
surface.
Hello, Nate! Nothing
is sexier than a hunk that appears to have the biggest chip on his shoulder. He
was a secret to all of them but only one was brave and determined enough to put
his nails in and scratch that surface.
Between the growls,
dirty looks, and some of the most hateful slurs of words between the characters
of Gabe and Nate, these two will most certainly have you right on the edge because you never know from one minute to the next with these two.
I completely fell in love with this series, the only
downside, is now I have to sit back and wait for book three.
EXCERPT
There was that huge heart again, trying
to see something in Gabe that just wasn’t there. Gabe smiled. “Jonah Taylor,
always trying to save the world from heartbreak and pain. You can’t solve everyone’s
problems, Jonah.”
Jonah smirked and shrugged his
shoulders. “I can try. Look, I think you need a distraction. Maybe even step
away from the whole Nate situation a little.”
“Why, Jonah, you sly fox. Are you
offering yourself as the commercial break from my regularly scheduled program?”
Gabe said seductively, laughing as Jonah turned the color of a ripe tomato.
“Gabe…” Jonah squirmed in his chair,
and Gabe couldn’t keep up the teasing.
Gabe patted Jonah’s hand and laughed.
“I’m kidding, Jonah. Besides, I prefer devil’s food cake for dessert.” Gabe
winked at him.
Jonah shook his head and chuckled,
looking offended. “What are you trying to say? I’m vanilla?”
Gabe let his eyes roam over Jonah’s
muscular body as he sat in the chair, making sure to take in every bulge.
“Oh…no, sir. Not vanilla. Let’s just say, I enjoy something a little more
sinful, and you definitely have angel’s food written all over you.”
Jonah’s skin was flushed from Gabe’s
roaming eyes as he squirmed in his chair a little. “I’ll try to take that as a
compliment.”
“Absolutely. You should.” Gabe smiled.
Jonah returned the smile, relaxing
again, and said, “Why don’t you come to the gym with me? I can get you a pass.
I know it’s not the fun you had in mind,” Jonah laughed, “but it could be a
good distraction. Not to mention, the scenery isn’t all that bad.” Jonah
wiggled his eyebrows up and down.
Gabe suddenly had visions of hot,
sweaty bodies, muscles straining with exertion, grunts of men as they lifted.
Why hadn’t he thought of it himself?
Jonah smirked. “By the look on your
face, I’d say you’re interested.”
Gabe narrowed his eyes then grinned. “I
have to say, Jonah, for someone who doesn’t know me all that well you seem to
have read me correctly.”
“Remember you said that,” Jonah said.
“Pretty sure it applies to everything I’ve said to you just now.”
Gabe hung his head and laughed. “Walked
into that one, I suppose.”
“So, you’ll come?” Jonah asked.
“Maybe a little later. Right now, I
think I’ll go to the gym with you,” Gabe said and watched as Jonah blushed once
again.
“And I walked into that one.” Jonah
chuckled.
Gabe stood up and walked Jonah to the
door. “Shall I follow you, or do you want to just give me the address?”
Jonah reached his hand in his pocket
and pulled out his car keys. “I’m on my way there now. If it won’t take you
long to get ready, I’ll wait in my car.”
“I’ll only be five minutes. I may be
high-maintenance, but believe it or not, I don’t wear my Armani suits to the
gym.”
Jonah chuckled again
and nodded his head. “Okay, I’ll be in my car. The gym’s in Maple Grove, the
next town over, but still only takes ten minutes to get there. You can follow
me.” Jonah opened the door then turned back around with a wicked smile. “Oh,
and by the way, even angels fall every now and then, and it’s twice the ride.
Scorching on the way down, but the best fucking ecstasy you’ve ever felt on the
way back up.” It was Jonah who winked that time, and Gabe found himself with a
shitload more respect for the guy.

photography, and now writing. I have an amazing support system in my family and
friends and couldn’t be more grateful.
I live in central New

books from my favorite authors. I’m a hopeless romantic, starving for
passionate characters and always craving that happy ending, whether in reading
