About this listen
He’s always loved her. Now, he’ll fight to save her.
Zachary Haven is living a lie. He’s stuck in a rut, pretending to hate the woman he’s always loved. He didn’t mean for things to turn out that way. But sometimes life gets out of control, especially when you’re young and stupid. Not that he ever had a chance with her. She’s gorgeous and smart, talented and kind. And Zachary? He can’t seem to keep himself out of trouble.
Marigold Martin just met the man of her dreams. Blowing into her life like a storm, he sweeps her off her feet. She can’t help but wonder if he’s the one. He’s a dream in a bespoke suit—and he says he wants her heart. But nothing is as it seems.
A brush with death wakes Zachary up to the reality of his life. And his feelings for Marigold. He’s determined to make her his—convince her they were always meant to be. But secrets run deep, and Zachary fears the man who’s after Marigold could be more than a romantic rival. He could be the devil himself. And Zachary might be too late to save her.
Author’s Note: A troublemaker turned small-town hero risks everything for the love of his life. A soft-hearted heroine who finds her strength. An accidental body piercing, brotherly shenanigans, the Squirrel Protection Squad, and lots of big feels. This small-town romantic suspense will leave you breathless, with the romantic happily ever after you’ve been waiting for.
Storms and Secrets is a MF romance with no cheating or sharing partners, and is NOT a love triangle.
Content warning: this book contains references to sex trafficking.

Story
Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it. She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

The scowl should’ve been my first clue to stay far away from Anson Hunt. The sexy smirk and the fact that he’s my brother’s best friend? Reasons two and three. Not to mention, he’s the new contractor working on my house. He’s everything I’m not: grumpy, rude, and more than a little attached to his solitude. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to kill him with kindness; the man simply won’t crack. Until he sees me shatter. Because when my world comes crashing down around me, Anson is the one catching me as I fall.

Football star. Single dad. And once, a long time ago, mine. I’ve spent the better part of a decade forgetting Ford Ellis. If he had just stayed away from Montana, I might have erased the memory of his striking blue eyes and rugged smile forever. Avoiding him was easy when the only place I saw his face was on ESPN—and a remote control could fix that problem.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

I slept with my trainer. And as it turns out, I’m not the only one. Apparently, he sleeps with all his clients. So I block him—the last thing I need is another a-hole in my life. Especially one as irresistibly charming and handsome as Ashton Vancroft. The catch? Three years later, our best friends, Emma and Marcus, get engaged, and we are both forced to play nice at their destination wedding in Florida. Is he really the self-centered playboy I’ve made him out to be? Or is there something more to this fitness-obsessed now-billionaire that I missed the first time around?

Really liked it
To me this is a great balance of romance a little suspense and small town charm.
Zachary is a wild child. Never wanting to settle down because the girl of his dreams he blew it with a kind time ago. That is until an accident that puts all things into perspective. Now he will stop at nothing to make her his.
Marigold is a book worm. She has always had her head in the clouds dreaming of mister perfect. A handsome rich man comes into town and sweeps her off her feet. She is caught up in the “idea” or him that she might be overlooking some red flags. Is he her Me. Darcy? Or is he hiding something dark?
Who will she end up with? What will happen to her?
Liked it… at time pretty predictable but that does not bother me. In fact I am marking this author as a cozy author… makes me feel happy when I finish.

Was she an angel???
What happens when an amazing author brings a secondary, spin-off series to life…
You get the Haven Brothers series by Claire Kingsley!!!!
Storms and Secrets is the second book in the series and has a little heat, a lot of heart, fantastic characters, some suspense, hilarious Laugh out loud scenes, tear jerking moments…and of course…the SPS!
What seems like a second chance for Zachary Haven (after a near-death experience) and Marigold Martin (AKA…An angel)…might have just been a close call, after Marigold meets the delicious “man of her dreams”. Sigh….sorry Z.
Anywayyyyyy….this was an absolutely amazing read!!! I loved it so much that I listened to the audiobook after reading it and it was like reading it again for the first time!!! Samantha Brentmoor and Teddy Hamilton were PERFECTION!!!! SOOOOO Great and I am so glad we are getting the Haven sibling's stories now, too!!!!

Shocking brings love to light
Zach and Marigold have a complicated past but when he almost dies after getting shocked, he knows that he has to tell Marigold that he loves her. So many things are keeping them apart. He tries his best to show her that they belong together. I really liked the narration and that the three main characters had different narrators.

Zarigold are couples goals
Claire wrote an amazing romantic suspense! Storms and Secrets follows Zachary Haven and Marigold Martin on their journey to each other and of love. Zachary is the brother known for screwing up everything, he gets in trouble with the law for starting bar fights on a regular basis but something has changed! That something is that he gets electrocuted while fixing a light fixture in Marigold's salon. While he is unsure if he's going to die or not he realizes he's got one regret in his life, how he's treated Marigold since she was in high school. So Zachary comes up with a plan to make Marigold his.
Marigold Martin is a romantic at heart and just waiting for her Mr. Darcy to come sweep her off her feet and carry her off into the sunset. Then a handsome stranger comes into her salon to get his haircut and does just that, he takes her on an epic first date and sends her flowers every day. Then Zachary starts to interfere with her dates to get her to realize that Preston isn't the guy for her but him instead. It isn't until a blind double date that Marigold starts to realize that Preston isn't as wonderful as she thought he was.
On top of the "who to date" drama that Marigold is dealing with, she becomes a where of a missing teenager when she is asked to put up a missing persons flier in her salon window. Find out who took the missing teenager whose picture is up all over town and who kidnaps Marigold during a big storm. Zachary and his brother Garrett work together with the SPS and the rest of the town to find bother missing women before something worse happens than just them missing, but who really took them and where could they be being kept?
I listened to the audio version of Storms and Secrets and Samantha Brentmoor, Teddy Hamilton, and Desiree Ketchum do an amazing job bringing the story to life! Storms and Secrets is book 2 in the Haven Brothers series and is a standalone but is recommended to be read in series order. This is a 5/5 star for me! The story is amazing and the narrators did a 5/5 star performance as well! The spice level for this is 4/5.

• Thoughts:
Aawwww back in Tillikam. My happy place. I really am loving the Haven brothers. I am not gonna lie, I was kind of disappointed when it was announced that Marigold and Zachary were going to be a couple. I thought Zach didn't deserve Mari..... well. I was freaking wrong! I loved Zach and Mari together. I will never doubt CK again. Haha. I have learned my lesson. Zach took me by surprise, to be honest. I am loving these hidden layers of emotions the Havens have, and we have obky read about 2 of the 6 brothers. Swoooonn!!! I love Zachary's antics. The accidental piercing had me laughing so hard. Oh my hell. I think there were several spots where I would just randomly start laughing. The humor in this was spot on! Yet the Romantic suspense was excellent as well. I know a lot of people have renewed appointments out the lack of spice, but truthfully, CK writing is incredible. I wasn't even missing that element. I loved everything about this book and the characters. Another win for me IN CK's world.
•Narrator thoughts:
Teddy freaking Hamilton and the wonderful Samantha Brentmoor are the two amazing g humans who brought #zarigold to life. They were perfection and in my opinion. These two can do no wrong.

I liked that the love story and the mystery were both fast paced
Very good narration and an engrossing story. I enjoy the lighter books where the darkness is not so dark that it's depressing. This gave me just enough to keep my interest.

Shocked into love
I loved, loved, loved Marigold and Zachary’s dual secret crush, best friend’s brother romantic suspense tale with a side of romcom. The story had the perfect blend of sweet moments, spice, laughs, supportive friends, messy families, painful pasts, secrets, a little bit of danger, absurdity, and all the happy heart squeezing love. The slow ratcheting up of the tension that accompanies the hints and glimpses of the bad guy is delicious perfection. Don’t worry, the suspense was well balanced with the romance and the Tilikum absurdity. Add in the chapters from a third POV to give us information about the bad guy without the MCs knowing things yet and it created a wonderful cocktail of awesomeness. Zachary is an electrician in small town Tilikum. He is impulsive and stubborn and has five brothers and one sister. He has been secretly in love with his sister’s best friend for years but it’s not until a brush with death that he decides to do something about it. Marigold owns the hair salon in Tilikum. She is romantic and loves love so she has been waiting for her Prince Charming/Mr Darcy to show up. Just as he seems to have finally appeared, Zachary decides he wants her. But is Preston really Prince Charming or is he really the devil in disguise. While the identity of the bad guy in the story was obvious, that did nothing to diminish the enjoyment of the story. Reading this will give you all the feels - laughing, crying, swooning, cringing, teeth gritting, and cheering - while it’s sucking you into the romance and suspense. The story was well written and included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters who grow, and an engaging storyline. I cannot wait to read which Haven brother falls next.
The narrators were perfect for this story. Samantha Brentmoor and Teddy Hamilton did a phenomenal job narrating the story and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly. I also appreciated having Desiree Ketchum as the the third POV voice of Brielle. It added just that little extra. I really love the added dimension listening brings to a story.
