Wild & Sweet: Men of Haven, #2

A tight Brotherhood made up of six sexy alpha men who have each other's backs no matter what - even if that means going 'around' the law because they live by their own moral code. If a threat looms, they band together utilizing each other's differing skills and are prepared to risk everything to protect their brother.. or the one they love. And, in this story, the Brotherhood have been deciding whether to take on Auto Mechanic Danny as a new member and Trauma Doc Zeke from the Brotherhood is with Danny when he gets an urgent and distressing call from his sister Gabrielle (aka Gabe) who has been injured in a robbery gone wrong.. and, of course, Zeke goes to help.

Gabe is also a Mechanic - she's a shy introvert with abandonment issues, low self-esteem and gets tongue-tied so the last thing she wants, or can cope with, is a hot sexy Doctor focussing all his attention on her. But, as far as Zeke is concerned, its game over for him because this tiny guileless blonde pixie immediately peeks his interest.. and his alpha protective instincts too because someone's hurt her, someone's buying up the neighborhood, someone's even killed to get it.. and that someone must be stopped. And the more Zeke learns about Gabe the deeper he falls.. but convincing her of that fact, introducing a very timid Gabe to his Brotherhood family, trying to overcome her delicate sensitivities and showing her she's the only woman for him, proves to be harder than he thinks.. but he's ready, willing and very able to tear down all her misconceptions brick by brick.

A very enjoyable slow-build romance with some suspense and a good cast of secondary characters who make up the Haven Brotherhood and the camaraderie between them was great. Zeke is a hot high-octane thrill-seeking Brazilian whose non-stop senses are finally calmed by a sweet timid introvert who brings out his tender, passionate and possessive side. There's hot sexcapes, a bit of angst and some drama too to the dual POV storyline and Gary Furlong's narration was excellent.

Worth a credit? Yes.. and this awesome series is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

This story entertained me with the main character being a Emergency Doctor and the heroine being a very introverted lady mechanic. She has a phobia about being around people and they meet when she's attacked while checking on a neighbor's house. He's almost immediately smitten, but she has a long way to go to be able to be close to and trust someone. The story was original, and this is the second book in the series. Narration was very well performed.

I'm loving this series! The men are strong & tender, while the women are brave & sweet. I've already got the third book on pre-order! 👍👍
