Safe Haven

Triple Creek Ranch, Book 1

De: Kristen Proby

Narrado por: Connor Crais, Savannah Peachwood

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby comes an emotional romance where two best friends reunite at Triple Creek Ranch, proving that home is where love finds its way.

Fifteen years ago, my best friend found salvation at the Triple Creek Ranch, transforming from an angry foster kid into a hockey legend. Now, with his adoptive father’s death forcing him home, Ryker’s trading his hockey stick for ranch life—and I’m not sure my heart can handle having him this close again.

I’ve spent the past decade raising my troubled nephew alone while building my career as an audiobook narrator. When my boy needs a fresh start, Ryker offers us sanctuary at the ranch. But living under the same roof with the man who’s always owned my heart ignites feelings I’ve tried hard to bury.

Between helping manage a struggling ranch, watching my nephew find his way, and dealing with the shadows of Ryker’s fame, we discover our connection is stronger than ever. But when threats from his past surface, we’ll have to decide if our second chance is worth fighting for.

Beautiful Friends to Lovers Romance!

Kristen Proby's newest release, Safe Haven, is absolute magical bliss! Kristen Proby is a must read author who with each novel I am so delighted to fall into her world and revile in a deep and meaningful romance! Proby's tone is conversational and comforting, her characters easily blossom on the page, and the romance and day to day situations are relatable. Safe Haven is a wonderful love story and a truly beautiful representation of Kristen Proby in her element, and why I will always be a faithful reader!

This novel is the first in Proby's Triple Creek Ranch, and it is a best friends to lovers story. Ryker and Willow have been best friends since the age of 15 when Ryker and Gideon, two foster kids, come to work on the James' ranch, owned by Willow's aunt and uncle. What unfolds is a beautiful story of hope as Ryker and Gideon find a forever home and a friendship with Willow and each other that defies the anger of young and misunderstood youth. Proby easily brings the reader into the world and understanding without spending a long time in the past, because the truth of this story lives in the present. This romance about rebuilding and opening a new chapter of life. Ryker is retiring as a Hockey star and rebuilding his family's ranch after the lose of his parents, and Willow is challenged with the changes in her son (Aiden), her nephew who is at a challenging moment in his teenage years. This is also a new chapter for Ryker as he sees Willow in this new light. I loved watching the easy of their romance play out, and that in moments of conflict Proby has them work through their anger and frustration together. This show such a beautiful openness and communication between them. This romance is sensual and sexy. The strength and love is so palpable as Ryker, Willow and Aiden build their new family together.

Connor Crais and Savannah Peachwood beautifully embody these character's vocally. They easily bring this story to life and convey they range of emotions in such a vivid and engaging way. Crais and Peachwood's narration helps to bring the reader immersively into the story and fall even easier in love with this rich characters!

If you are looking to fall in love and expense the comfort of found family than look no further than Safe Haven! You are sure to fall for this family and be left with a full heart.

Thank you so much to Kristen Proby and her team for an eARC, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
