I won a copy of "Haven Creek" through the Goodreads Giveaway Contest. This was another great book by Mrs. Alers.

I much prefer the earlier series of books from Rochelle Alers; especially the Hideaway Legacy. I'm finding that the Cavanaugh Island series and other recent books are not on par with her previous work. To me, it seems as if someone else is writing these books because the story is missing that special something that I've come to look for in Ms. Alers's books.
Haven Creek was an okay read. It did not stand out against other romance novels that I've read and lacked a quality that I'm used to getting from Ms. Alers's books. Morgan and Nate were forgettable characters with a mediocre storyline. I'd recommend reading her earlier series of books and passing on this one.

The story line is pretty good, but the narrator is God-awful! She mispronounces words throughout and it sounds like she’s reading. I’m sticking with it because I want to finish the series but my word!
On another note, it would have been great to actually have some Gullah dialect in the story. I’ve listened to the first two books as well and no-one sounds like they’re from the Lowcountry at all (Beaufort, SC born and bred, so I would know). We may not all speak Gullah all the time, but we definitely don’t sound like Texans (narration of Jeff in book 2).
