Once again Corey takes you on a emotionally charged roller coaster full of love, lost, betrayal, redemption, and the power of forgiveness. Faith can move mountains, and Cory's steamy read proves that.Let the fire between these two characters set your Kindle ablaze. If a woman ever deserved to be revived and restored, it would definitely be Haven. She has been through a lot of hurt and seems content to just run her bookstore and glide through life. She is self-conscious and is not ready for romance after what she’s been through, and who can blame her? She has been through so much and it’s so disheartening.When she attends a party with her friend and her eyes lock with Latch McKay, she knows her life will never be the same. From their first meeting and what a meeting it is, the sparks fly and she knows she’s a goner. She’s so afraid and as Latch pursues her, she is so torn with her feelings. “Latch McKay scares the hell out of me, and if I let him into my bed, he will be my undoing.” – HavenThe one big kicker to this book is the age difference. It doesn’t matter to Latch that he is twelve years younger, but it’s so difficult for Haven to get past it. It definitely takes a lot of chasing on Latch’s part and he is one persistent man!! Who couldn’t resist that??“Baby, I want to be a part of your life, not just the good parts and not just the present, all of it and everything in between. Why do you think I’ve been so insistent? I wasn’t stalking you – I was claiming you.” – LatchOne thing about this book is that Haven sure spreads her wings and learns to open up to Latch and feel more emotions and love than she ever thought possible. It is definitely not an easy ride because with Latch’s fame and his issues there is so much for Haven to deal with. Not only with his secret, but also with his past of women. Because of her being older, she feels so insecure and it really pulled at my heart to see her so down on herself. This book was good for me but not great. It’s one of the few I have read with an older woman/younger man and I was pleasantly surprised.
What do You think about Reviving Haven (2000)?
It flows nicely and easy to read. Good character definitions and plots.
