Summary

Love hurts. There is nothing as painful as heartbreak. But in order to learn to love again you must learn to trust again.

When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small town of Southport, her sudden arrival raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet unassuming, Katie is determined to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant relationships. Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community. But even as Katie starts to fall in love, she struggles with the dark secret that still haunts her….

loved it listened to it over 2 days

Absolutely loved this book, had seen the film so many times and loved it, but listening to this version was great could not bare to pause it, listened to it while doing tasks around the house I usually hate doing, but the story line being a bit different from the film kept me interested.

Captivating from start to finish.

I have this story on D.V.D.,and have watched it many times as I love it so much.The twist near the end gets me every time.I never saw that coming,even though I was beginning to wonder.

I'm new to audiobooks.All I can say is that personally,I found the book far more gripping than the film.I'd never even heard of Nicholas Sparks until now.Wow! What an amazing author.So descriptive. I had no idea that he also wrote 'A walk to remember'(brillaint film--cried buckets),and 'The Notebook',which I've not seen.I have now bought two more of his books.I couldn't stop listening to 'Safe Haven',so much so that I finished it in a couple of days.
I'm shielding at present,so these books are a real a Godsend.
I thoroughly recommend this book.

Wonderful Book, Well Narrated

I don't write reviews, but I felt compelled to write about this particular book. It is written beautifully. I could not put it down and spent most of my weekend listening to it. I have listened to several audible books and this is by far the best yet. The narration is very well done, in fact, probably the best I've listened to as of yet, subtle and believable. The book holds you right to the very end and I am so pleased that I found this author and novel.

Loved it!

Would you consider the audio edition of Safe Haven to be better than the print version?

I haven't read it, so can't comment, however, if I see it on offer .......

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

They did make a film of this book. My tag line would be:
Trust no-one, everyone has secrets!

Great listening, great story and great characters!

Beautifully written. A story that really draws you in so much so that you almost feel a part of it. Quite a number of breath holding moments too. Highly recommend.
