Safe Haven
Safe Haven | Nicholas Sparks
When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Carolina town of Southport, her sudden arrival raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie seems determined to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store owner with a kind heart and two young children; and another with her plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex and his family.But even as Katie begins to fall in love, she struggles with the dark secret that still haunts and terrifies her . . . a past that set her on a fearful, shattering journey across the country, to the sheltered oasis of Southport. With Jo's empathic and stubborn support, Katie eventually realizes that she must choose between a life of transient safety and one of riskier rewards . . . and that in the darkest hour, love is the only true safe haven.

I enjoyed reading this book. It has some tough topics in it. I love the characters a lot. The story was great. I rated this book a 4 out of 5 stars.

I loved this book. This was another re-read for me. This time I did notice that I didn‘t want to finish the book because I knew the climax of the book would stress me out a little. But at the same time I love the ending. Rating: 5 ⭐️

Listened to this at work today and after work. Took one day of listening. Nicholas Sparks is one of my favorite romance writers. 💕 I have never read a Nicholas Sparks book that I didn't like!

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Me either!!! 💗 4y

The start was kind of slow but it quickly turned into a can‘t put down kind of book. I really got into it, the story I mean. It‘s got twists that made me whoa and couldn‘t wait to read about what happens next. Kevin deserves what happened to him towards the end of the book though I wished he suffered in jail first. Jo was a trip! I definitely didn‘t see that coming! It kinda gave me the chills and got teary eyed!

Sparks is one of my Safe Havens (get it? ba dum tiss) and his books never fail to interest me and make me satisfied at the ending. Another solid one.

This book was so good! Nicholas Sparks will never let me down! Great love story but with an amazing end! Amazing book, but of course now I'll have to see the movie (;

#songsofsummer @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @OriginalCyn620 In one of my favourite books and movies, the main character finds refuge in #somebeach town, after escaping a bad situation. She starts to rebuild her life and finds romance in the process.

I haven't come across a Nicholas Sparks book I didn't like, and this one wasn't an exception! I want expecting the plot twist at the end, but I love the way this book ended, which is a big deal for my overall view of a book.

Somewhere between a pick and a so-so for me. I liked the general story but the characters seemed a little stale and one dimensional. I would love to see this type of story written by a really dynamic female author.

I've only been to a #BedandBreakfast twice, but they both had amazing front porches where I could read! This one, that I visited last year, is in Southport, NC, where the tagged book is set. The movie was filmed there. (I've never read the book, but I watched the movie, and at the end I said, WHAT?. No spoilers for others. But really.) #AugustIsATrip @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @vkois88

...she looked up at him, it was suddenly easy gor her to imagine that her fears were pointless. Taht he would love her no matter what she told him and that he was the kind of man who loved her alreafy and would love her forever.

Mehso-so

The same old Sparks' plot with different characters in different circumstances and situations. A woman or man with a past and they fall in love but the other one is hesitant because of the his/her past but what the heck they still fall in love. A man is always present to ruin their relationship but at the end there will always be a confrontation wither verbally or physically and their love becomes stronger.

Please excuse me while I ugly cry... this is why I don't read romance... I stick to suspense and mystery because they don't rip my heart out.. Jo's letter at the end has me in my feelings!!
Ugh, but I freaking loved it.. thanks Nicholas Sparks, my pillow case is now wet.

Side note: the husband says i'm no longer allowed to read romance. Lol 😂😭😂😭

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks This one is such and ugly cry!!! (edited) 7y
Ashley_Nicoletto Have you seen the movie? I know this should be a shamed question but I ugly cry every single time I watch it. Every time. 7y

This is one of my favorites by Nicholas Sparks. The story is quite intense but also beautiful, Alex is dreamy. Like all books by Sparks I was left with a great feeling once I finished it.
