SOUTHERN LOVE

I love Cavnaugh Island the storyline is awesome, especially when there is a Happy ending.

Horrible Narrator

Joy Hooper's performance ruined this story for me. She paused when she should not have and failed to when she should have. She also lacked passion and feeling in her narration. I was truly disappointed and will not select another book that she is narrating.

the narrated reading to slow ,

Would you listen to Haven Creek again? Why?

yes good story

What other book might you compare Haven Creek to and why?

melody Anne billionaire series

What aspect of Joy C. Hooper’s performance would you have changed?

to slow, l read them before on my kindle so I knew the story. to me that is the only thing I will change

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

not sure, I just love the way the stories came together with the people of the island

Need a different narrator

I have enjoyed the previous audiobooks in the series but this one was hard to enjoy

excellent book

the writer is excellent and has amazing stories. however listening to this book was the worst. the narrator was so dull and boring as a rock. She did not bring life to the characters they all sounded the same. Great books like what this author writes needs someone that could pull you into the story. This narrator failed miserable.

Romantic!

The narrator’s voice wasn’t as appealing, but the story was sweet. Very descriptive to the point that Cavenaugh Island is on my must see list.

x always and forever Love this series

love this series of books. it's nice to read about black relationships which grown black men

Great details & characters

Enjoyed the narrator and story characters

Awesome Author

I look forward to the next book in the series!

Annoying Narration

I'm struggling to continue listening.
You should have used Nicole Small for this
one as well. Please do not use Joy for the other books.

Haven Creek By Rochelle Alers

This is the 3rd book in the Cavanaugh Island series.

You can pluck any book out of this series and begin reading without being confused, based on references to past book selections. Although each story is different, there are some sprinkles of the other stories. The sprinkles can be the name of a restaurant, bookstore, event (daily siestas) or a character (like the town gossip). The ingredient that weaves the stories together is, of course, the South Carolina Low Country Island, the close-knit Gullah People and an insignificant character in another book, becomes a prominent character in the current book.

Haven Creek is a love story of two young people from the island, Nate and Morgan. Morgan was introduced in the previous installment of the series. Morgan recently opened an architecture firm and Nate is a furniture maker, which gave the author free rein to explore and offer a myriad of unwanted details. I guess it did offer imagery of the different locations and furniture pieces. I think that part was too much. The author was describing EVERYTHING house and furniture-related. Similar to the other books in the series, I noticed the girl always plays ‘hard to get’ and the guy is persistent.

I would say this is a nice beach read, a feel-good romance with substance. I enjoyed the book and will definitely read the remainder of the series. It’s neat-o peeking into the life and style of the Gullah people of South Carolina.
I recommend!
