Helios & Feralyn
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Terrorist...Traffickers...Feralyn...Ghost, Helios, Ares—I was the weak link in their chain. I was a college dropout who’d been abducted and beaten. Helios was a Tier One operator who’d been shot defending our country. We were not equal, and I would never be worthy of a man like him.

Transfixed. Enthralled. Mesmerized. I am absolutely transfixed by Helios. He is a battle-scarred pure force of nature. Even the sun bends at his will, never mind the woman who has always represented his one safe space. Unwavering and passionate, he will do anything to protect his Haven.

Like the evolution of the sun around Helios's world, secrets, lies, and connections begin to explode like a solar flare. With Feralyn caught between three Tier One brothers, only one has had her heart from the very beginning. Unapologetic, this slow burn will set their souls on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

💘 Helios has just moved to the top of my BBF list...Sorry, Talon and Neil 💘

⭐️Rating: 4/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cyrus and Sydney

Sydney is less than impressed with her newest assignment. But for Katie and the vow she made, Sydney will do whatever she can to bring to life her cybersecurity dream a reality. That's more real to her than another Compass Ceremony. Finding a love match is certainly not in her plans at all! 

Six-foot-one former rockstar, Cy, finally meets a woman who could crack open his entire life's database before sitting down for breakfast. Cy quickly realizes that he can't just charm his way into her heart, even as he recites the standard lines...will you continue this search for love with me? There's a lot more to Sydney than a reality TV show.

📲 Fake Relationship
🎬 Celebrity MMC
📲 Forced Proximity
🎬 Enemies to Lovers
📲 Protective FMC

Heartthrob for the Hacker is an awesome addition to the SAFE Haven series! It is such a fun twist on the Reality dating show / Forced proximity trope. I especially enjoyed that Sydney is a computer hacker, working undercover to identify Cy's obsessive stalker. Creepy messages and a nearly fatal accident won't stop Sydney from protecting Cy. 

Between rival contestants sharpening their nails and Sydney's mission to protect Cy, this dating TV show transforms into a high-stakes series of Compass Ceremonies where anyone can be eliminated. With more than enough terabytes of sass and determination, nothing will prevent Sydney from achieving her dreams, not even sexy former boy band star Cy Darby. But just wait until you meet Cy's Grandpa -- he really has a special place in my heart!
