Bright Haven combines the best clean/closed door romance stories with world-class filtering tools, an unlimited app of eBooks and audiobooks, and a community of dedicated readers and writers.

Annual subscription: $99.99 for 12 months (less than $8.50 per month), includes unlimited access to all books, filtering tools, premium events, panels, podcasts, book clubs, and more.

Monthly subscription: $11.99 per month with no long-term commitment, includes the same features as the annual plan.

Free subscription: Access to over 300 free audiobooks and e-books, full access to the book search tool, and the Bright Haven Community.

The Bright Haven free subscription is currently available as an unlimited trial and does not expire.

While we expect to keep it that way, Bright Haven reserves the right to change, pause, or modify free access in the future as the library and services evolve.

But any updates will be communicated clearly so you always know what to expect.

Bright Haven books can be enjoyed in the Bright Haven app on both iOS and Android devices, and you can also read in our web-based reader from a computer or tablet—so your library is available wherever you like to read.

Unlike many apps that advertise “unlimited” reading and listening but quietly add special rules behind the scenes, Bright Haven keeps it simple.

With a paid subscription, we do not restrict which titles you can access, how many eBooks and audiobooks you can enjoy, or throttle you service after you've used a certain amount of data.

The only limit is how many great stories you feel like diving into.

First, let me say, I know. We hate it too, and this wasn't our plan for rolling things out, but we figured let's get you your books now.

In the coming weeks and months, our plan is to roll out Single Sign-On (SSO) so one login works across all three tools—and even better, to combine everything into one Bright Haven app. Until then, here’s the simplest way to keep it all straight.

As soon as you register for any Bright Haven subscription, you’ll receive two emails.

Email #1: Bright Haven account (billing + settings)

This email asks you to create your Bright Haven password. That login is for your subscription account—updating your plan, changing payment info, viewing billing history, and managing account details.

The first time you enter the Bright Haven Community, choose “Login with Bright Haven.” Use the same email and password you just created for your Bright Haven account.

Email #2: eReader account (reading + listening)

This second email asks you to set a password for the eReader. Yes, it’s a second password. Yes, we also wish it wasn't necessary. The good news: it’s a one-time setup, and after that you’re good to go.

A couple quick tips to avoid headaches:

• Use the same email/password for all three apps to make it easier when we combine them.
  
• If access ever looks “off,” it usually means you’re signed into the eReader or Community with a different email than the one you subscribed with—log out and back in with the subscription email.
  
  Still stuck? No worries—send us a quick message with the email you subscribed with and which app is giving you trouble (Account, Community, or eReader), and we’ll get things sorted out for you fast.
  
  

Yes. Every Bright Haven title is selected and rated to fit our clean, closed-door romance standard. That means you can expect romance that focuses on emotional connection and uplifting storytelling, without explicit on-page sex or graphic sexual content.

Each book also includes clear content ratings and tags (like pepper level, language, and sensitive-theme notes) so you can choose stories that match your comfort level and reading preferences.

Bright Haven does not believe in limiting what anyone can read. Readers should always have the freedom to choose the stories that are right for them, and authors should always have the freedom to write the stories they want to tell.

What we do believe in is helping readers find what they are looking for without surprises—and creating a space where a specific kind of romance is easy to discover and enjoy.

While there are many wonderful places to find steamy romance and other genres, Bright Haven was built for readers who prefer their stories to feel uplifting, emotionally satisfying, and comfortable—romance that leans into heart, hope, and genuine connection, with clear boundaries and no explicit sexual content.

Our goal is not to judge anyone’s taste, but to serve a community of readers who have been looking for a reliable “this is for me” place to read.

Not yet, but we're working fast to get it out, and we'll be offering special discounted pricing to existing subscribers.

Right now, you have to manually search for books using the existing filtering tools. While this is a great first step, we plan on releasing "Family Filters" you can set and forget for different subscribers soon.

Bright Haven is a curated library, which means we carefully select the authors and titles we include so we can keep the reading experience consistently high for our members. At this time, we are not accepting new authors.

We do plan to open for new author submissions in the future. If you would like to have your books considered when we reopen, please fill out this questionnaire and we will keep your information on file: https://forms.gle/DqvbUVmqUL9kBPiv8.
