Captivating & Suspenseful!
What a great intriguing story. I was captivated with the story and characters immediately as each anticipated sentence became exciting and more suspenseful into a colorful movie like vision right on the page. The descriptive township, the family environment, and the beautiful scenery was heavenly written and had me wanting to visit Alaska one day.

I totally loved this book. The author has a unique way of describing the things around the character’s that really does make you feel as though you are there as well. Not too in depth, but enough to give a very enjoyable read.
The story is about a woman, Kendall, who has run from a relationship gone wrong to Staamat in Alaska, hoping no one from her past will catch up to her.
In Staamat she meets the Chief of Police, Denn Nulo who moved back to Staamat to look after his sister when their mother di...more

Sweet romance filled with lots of dark and twisted secondary characters.
Kendall Martin had to change everything from her appearance to her name and knew she needed to move to some place far away. She bought a small trading post and move to a remote village in Alaska to get away from a sadistic man.
As with all small towns things are done differently. It is the Chief of Police Denn Nulo who picks up Kendall from the small airport and welcome’s her to Staamat. Denn is a very nice man who after hi...more

No one writes romance better than Char Chaffin. UNSAFE HAVEN is the story of Kendall, a young woman running from a terribly abusive relationship, and her integration into a tiny Alaskan town where she hopes to start a new life. Enter Denn Nulo, the sexy Native police chief, and the romantic sparks instantly fly. Ms. Chaffin does a wonderful job of setting up the story and telling the tale, with interesting secondary characters that reveal the heart of small-town living in the wild Alaskan fronti...more

So it's a story you've heard/read before, abused heroine running from the big bad bad, and finds herself her very own hero....but ms chaffin tells it well and creates characters you can't help but care about...even when they pull beyond stupid crap....she makes it pretty damned hard to put the book down...i was so engrossed in the story despite knowing how everything was going to work out.

I chose this book solely based on the last name of the author. I figured if it had been written by a Chaffin it couldn't be too bad. Turns out I was right. The story was enjoyable and entertaining.
Kendall has a secret. She moves to Alaska to start over. Den is the first person she meets in her new hometown. The romance story is done very well and is believable. As the story unfolds you learn about the characters and Kendall's secret.

This book grabbed me from the first page! When you’re on the run from an abusive sociopath of an ex-fiance, even a tiny, remote Alaskan village isn’t a safe place to hide.
At least, that’s what the heroine of UNSAFE HAVEN discovers after moving to Staamat, and this place is the definition of remote. Newcomers have to be flown in, because the roads around the town only go so far, and then they just – stop.

There she meets Denn Nulo, the local Chief of Police. Denn surmises that Kendall has a secret past, and he determines to uncover her past and help her overcome her fears.

If you are looking for an easy read, this is it. Fast paced story with good detail about the setting in Alaska. Unfortunately I figured out the plot pretty quickly so there was not a lot of suspense. I read the entire book in 2 days. Good beach read.
Secrets...revenge...sex...murder...and a moose. Well what do you expect for a romance novel set in Alaska. Good book to curl up on the sofa or lounge on the beach.
Would have been higher rating. Too similar to Safe Haven by Nicholas sparks.
Ok. So I'm pleasantly surprised by this little book! I don't even know how I stumbled upon it but I sure am glad I did. H/h had great chemistry. Steam factor was pretty good. Easy and enjoyable read.
3 1/2 stars
A very sweet romance with a little suspense thrown in.

This was a fantastic read. Definitely a page turner. I loved the sweet patience of the hero and the vulnerability of the heroine. And the villian? ::Shudder::
What a great read. Kendall Martin is one little spitfire of a woman and Sheriff Denn Nulo compliments her completely. Char Chaffin takes you on Kendall's journey into the remote Alaskan terrain with vivid description ( It was like I was standing there observing the whole story). Her characters are as real as the village. The twists and turns along the way will have you turning page after page in one sitting. You won't be able to put this one down.

I really enjoy this book. It was even better that it was free on Amazon. I fell in love with both the main characters. I love how the story gives all points of view.. to me it makes the characters more "real" when you can get into their heads.
This book was okay. I'm not really into romance-y novels, and I found the story pretty predictable. Plus, I didn't like the history about how Conroy had been like Kendall's uncle when she was younger. I would hope people would be able to spot a pyscho-path sooner than they did in the book.
Just when I thought the story was getting a bit wordy, a plot twist made it a page turner.
Char Chaffin writes amazingly likable characters, while at the same time writing completely evil bad guys!
Full review in February 2013 issue of InD'tale Magazine.
