Theirs was a love story like no other. . .Or at least it was in Flick O’Malley’s mind. All she’d ever wanted was a man to love her. A family to adore her. Protect her. And she’d do the same in return.Oh, she knew West Malone wasn’t your typical Prince Charming. He was blunt. He was gruff. Sometimes, he was downright scary. But she knew he’d never let anyone mess with someone he claimed as his.And … someone he claimed as his.
And she wanted to be his.
She also wanted his rough, wild, insane family to be hers.
West Malone’s core was dark. His world, full of gray. He existed. He didn’t live.
And that’s the way he liked it.
Until Felicity O’Malley decided to blind him with that the light that was all her, with her sweetness, her innocence. But West had loved once before. And he’d failed her.
Wasn’t ever happening again.
By the time West realizes he’s not the villain in this story but the hero, will he be to late to save the girl?

How West was Won is the seventh book in the Haven, Texas series, and it could be read as a stand alone. Flick has her head in the clouds and her heart set on West, but when he turns her down, she needs a new plan. When her best friend realizes the danger she’s in, the Malone brothers decide she’s one of their own. Now West is faced with losing his sunshine, but can he convince her that he’s a changed man just for her?
Oh my goodness, bring tissues! This book just about ripped me apart while I was reading it, but I absolutely loved how Ms. Roberts brought Flick and West together and mended my sore heart! Flick is one of the strongest women you’ll read, full of light and spirit and she’s so sweet. She never once let the darkness that surrounds her bring her down. West loved once and lost her, so he’s pushed everyone away ever since. I loved watching him go from honestly quite mean in the beginning to completely falling for his sunshine and I loved how protective, possessive he was of Flick, and how cherished him and his brothers made her feel. This family is not for the faint of heart, but there’s so much loyalty, support, and love with these brothers that you can’t help but want a Malone brother for yourself! The danger and drama in this book suck you in, but the star of this book is the romance that blossoms between Flick and West! I have enjoyed every single book in this series and absolutely loved Flick and West!
It was great to read finally another book from the Malone family. As hgard as these men can be they are also protective of any women or child. Flick was considered part of family by most excopt West who didnt want Flick having a crush on him so he tell her in no certain terms how it is However when she isnt heard odf for three days the men go and look for her, they come back with a beaten Flick. Her brother is mean and nasty and has done this to her. And upon seeing Flick West takes back all he has said about her and claims her as his. But Flick isnt sure any more especially after his past!
This story is such a delight to read i have thoughly enjoyed immensely reading this book and definately are looking forward to the next one. 5 stars plus
West and Flick ‘s story.
How West was Won is Book 7 in the Haven series. I was very excited to read West’s story. He is a domineering, possessive, little mean, with a secret but a good person. I really liked Flick. Poor thing had it tough in spite of her life. She is what West needs although he can’t see at first. Laylah Roberts gives us a good story, with some little spankings, lots of domineering love and a HEA.
I love Laylah Roberts’ books. If you like dominant spanking men or daddy Dom’s you will love her books. If you’ve never read her, do yourself a favor. This book is no exception. Flick has been befriended by the Malones, but the only one she’s interested in is West. He’s got a rough past and wants nothing to do with her and he makes it plain. Unbeknownst to him, her home life is nothing to write home about. Now it’s his job to save her. Hand, strap.

Oh this book was so, so good! I adore Flick, and West is such an Alpha. Spencer I admittedly just want to beat, but I think we can all agree he would deserve it. There was such suspense too. The Malones all knew something was going to happen, as did the reader, but the question for everyone was when. I am so glad things worked out. I was surprised at the locket’s surprise, as I figured he just put it in her directly, but that works even better. This book was just so well written. I will be rereading in the future, and I’ll definitely be looking for any related books.

Flick is next to Haven, but longs to be part of it, protected and loved like the other women in that family. She’s fallen in love with West, the most taciturn and unapproachable of the Malone brothers, and she seems to him to be like a bright, flitting gnat in his life. He’s determined not to get involved and unknowingly sends her straight home to danger. And that is where the effectiveness of Laylah Roberts’s writing comes in; she’s hinted at this darkness, but the sudden explosion into it is horrifying and arresting. Suddenly everything we’ve read about Flick and her determined radiance makes sense – making her easily the most appealing of the Haven characters. The end is a relief, but could have been explored further, hence the 4 stars.

Love the Malone brothers. The second oldest West is the loner and probably the hardest of them all to get to know. Flick seems to think he is the one for her but West has different ideas. He wants no one but his family and Flick is not family even if she spends a lot of time at his family’s ranch. Just as he thinks he has gotten her to back off, her life has been endangered and she is seriously hurt. Things change and from here the story heats up. This is a great story, well written and entertaining. Even though there is a lot of danger surrounding them, there is a great sense of humor contained in the story that has you laughing out loud. There is a HEA for the two of them but a lot of tense moments occur first. This is a great story and I would highly recommend it. I can’t wait to see which of the Malone’s will be the main feature in the next book.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I am sure a lot of women wish that Haven was real. West was the epitome of the strong silent type and Flick loved his strength. The book was fast paced and full of action, humour and loving and has an exciting conclusion. Well worth reading

Flick ( Felicity )like living in Haven where the women were precious to the men and they protected their women. She wanted that fairy tale where she could have that too and her eyes were set on Wes. Wes looked at Flick like a walking calamity so he tried to avoid her but here she was a the dinner. The problem was she was his neighbor so it was almost impossible to hide from her, plus she was his sister-in-law best friend. Flick seems to be at his house more that her own it seems like God was not on his side. Flick knew she always had the hot for Wes she saw him as her fantasy come true. Wes was making her sick the way he was talking to her and he knew he would drive a large wedge between them. Flick was living at her brothers house which was not good he limited her and when she disobeyed him he beat her even though he was in a wheelchair. Mia had not heard from Flick in 3 days and she decided they would send someone over there. They found her in her bedroom beaten so they immediately taken her to their home for safety. West stepped up to the plate to take care of Flick but it almost to late. West told Flick about Lana and what happened to her. Flick finally told West and his brother what was exactly going on and they called the Sheriff. They went to get her brother but she told them he was suppose to be in Houston. She was. Afraid of any of them being involved she knew what he was capable of to hurt her and them. They finally caught up with Spencer was arrested then got bail. Flick and Beau went to visit her horse when they got in the barn someone was shooting at then and Beau got shot while trying to save Flick. West and Flick finally sleep together and he told her how he felt. Twists, turns, attempted murder and kidnapping makes this a suspenseful read.
Flick is friends with Mia. She gravitates toward West and her attraction to him. He pushes her away. Consequences and truths are revealed. Good book, well written!
