I don't normal care that much for Nora Roberts' writing style, but I loved this book. I give it 4.5 out of 5.
The 5 things I loved about this book:
1. Location
Sanctuary is located on a beautiful island off the coast of Savannah GA. It was so much a part of the story it almost became one of the characters. Roberts description of this lush island was lyrical and let me I imagined I was right there.
2. Dynamics of the family
The Hathaways were alienated from each other due to the abandonment of the matriarch. Their actions and feelings are explained by their dreams and the secrets of the past.
3. Mystery
Was there someone stalking Jo Ellen & did they send her a picture of her dead mother which has now disappeared? Or was it just her imagination? What was behind the strange disappearances on the island? Was murder involved? Who can be trusted? It had me guessing.
4. Romance
There are 3 romances that evolved on the island which include love, games, distrust, anger, reconciliations, and some hot steamy love scenes.
5. Page turner
The best part was how involved I got with the story and the characters. Once I got into this book, I couldnt put it down. I didnt want it to end, but I couldnt wait to learn how all the secrets and loose ends would be tied up. I was not disappointed.
