I received a free copy of the novel Kings Crossed Lovers: Safe Harbor :book 4 by Donna K. Weaver and this review was given freely.
This novella is one of discovering what truly matters, becoming empowered, learning to move away from toxic relationships to a supporting and nurturing one, and of course accepting love. A short and sweet fast paced story featuring premed Ethan and makeup artist Samantha’s romance, Samantha’s gamer brother and, the loving yet interfering family we have met in the last three Safe harbor books. While short, this is an emotional complex book with negative subtle and not so subtle undertones balanced by both a loving family and the joy a theme park can provide.
Beautiful
I have read most of the series and to understand the connection that is being made when these two get tor. Two needs make the the most of physically meeting for the first time. They’ve talked on Skype but with them at medical school and her in Colorado, the theme park vacation is perfect.
A really gorgeous novella, part of the beautiful Safe Harbors series. I enjoyed this story a lot as it is well written, has some great banter, and is the cutest tribute to a certain magical book series I’ve read for a long time.
I am not really into fantasy games, etc, but I seriously enjoyed this fantasy lovers romance. The story world, the theme park and the characters are all excellently done. I love the step parents in the story. I will not give anything away, but I had to read the scene where Ethan brings family to the penthouse three times – once a day for three days. That was priceless! Obviously, I am highly recommending this book. If you love fantasy games and theme parks, you will probably enjoy it even more than I did.

This one was just plain fun with a little emotional side dish added in. Ethan and Rafe have graduated from Harvard undergrad and going on vacation after spending the summer in Montana before Ethan starts medical school and they invite Sam to join them. Ethan and Sam have always had chemistry on their “family” chats but when they meet in person it is evident they really have chemistry. It was good to see the rest of the family (both sides, err, all sides and those who come along with them). Definitely a great ending! This one was enjoyed on audio and the narrator was great!
This is a nice sweet romance about two young people. The premise of Ethan and Sam’s story revolves around their shared interest in the Ross Hughes novels, our Harry Potter. As much as I like those books and realize that it’s a shared interest between the main characters, I found it a bit overwhelming. I also found that Ethan and Sam lacked maturity based on their relationships with the respective parents. I realize the dynamic gives depth and character understanding but, as a “mature” person, I did not enjoy it. What I did enjoy…the happily ever after from the time Ethan reaches New York and their return trip to Florida.
