Maybe Jackson would be different if he were in love. If he were in a relationship. Or if the world outside this room hadn’t fallen into violent chaos, hadn’t become a constant war we have no choice but to fight. Maybe he would take his time. Be softer. Gentler. Maybe he would smile or even laugh.

Maybe I would be different too.

Maybe I wouldn’t need his hungry eyes and demanding hands in the dark.

But this is how we are together every time.

He's not my friend or my boyfriend, but sometimes I go to his room after the sun goes down. I need to. Not for sweet words or soft kisses but because his arms, like the flickering light of that one candle, are the only things that can hold back the night.

Haven is a short, steamy post-apocalyptical romance set in the near future after a global catastrophe and includes some violent content and (secondary) character death.

My Review  5 STARS

**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This book is set in the same world as the authors book Last Light, and just like that book, this book is fantastic and really takes you on a journey where after a world changing event people are struggling just to survive.

The world is now largely unpopulated, building have crumbled, things have to be scavenged over vast areas and crops are only just starting to grow again as the dust starts to clear from the skies.  Many people have dies though starvation, murder and infection.

Faith lives on her family farm.  Her parents are dead and there are only a few people left there from the beginning and Jackson is one of them, a teenager that moved to the farm so her parents could help him as a troubled teen.

Now they are the ones in charge of the farm and the people that they are supporting, each person has to earn their space and position.

We meet a couple of character from Last Light, but as per any apocalyptic book we get some scenes that are a little upsetting, but vital to the story.

I really really enjoyed this book and I really hope that the author writes more stories within this world.
