Photographer Jo Ellen Hathaway thought she'd escaped the house called Sanctuary long ago. She'd spent her loneliest years there, after the sudden, unexplained disappearance of her mother. Yet the sprawling inn on an island off the Georgia coast continues to haunt her dreams.

Now Jo must return to the island, and to her bitterly estranged family. With the help of Nathan Delaneyâ??who was on the island the summer her mother disappearedâ??Jo hopes to learn the truth about the tragic past. But Sanctuary may be the most dangerou

thought it was predictable ( )

Well "Sanctuary" was not that interesting in the end. I think this is one of Robert's earlier works in romantic suspense. We have three siblings (of course) and most of the book is following the as they act brand new about love and relationships.

"Sanctuary" mostly hones in on one of the three siblings, Jo Ellen, though is a successful photographer who returns to her home after getting sent a bunch of threatening photos. One of the photos is of her mother who her family has assumed ran away from them decades ago. Jo's brother, Brian, and Alexa (Lexie) are there still running her family's I guess it's a bed and breakfast? I am still baffled about that. There father has been absent from taking care of them after their mother left. Their mother's cousin Kate moved in to take care of them all and one gets real quick why she stayed.

I can't say much here. I didn't feel grabbed by any of the siblings. I loathed Lexie's romantic partner cause anyone manhandling me would be getting kicked hard somewhere. Jo's partner was fine until we get a reveal about him that had me shuddering and saying nope a thousand times. Brian was just acting like a jerk. Cousin Kate was the only one I could tolerate for more than five minutes.

I take it back, I don't really think I liked Jo's love interest cause at one point he thinks about messing around with Lexie. I think I am more appalled now considering since I finished the book I know what his connection to this family was, he's messed up. He kisses both sisters and gets involved with one knowing what he does. Bah. That's all I got.

I think my main issue with most of Roberts stand alone romantic suspense books is that they don't do a good job of juggling both genres. Reading about romance and then seguing into a man kidnapping and raping a woman in graphic details just turns me off. And the premise behind this one didn't even freaking work. I maybe said seriously a few times.

The writing was so-so and the flow was terrible. Jumping around not only the siblings, but cousin Kate, the three love interests, the father, and then getting the victims POV and then the bad guy's. It was too much. At one point I was wondering if we would also get the POV of any of the animals running around.

The setting of the island off Georgia seemed made up as hell. And everyone talking about the land made me roll my eyes. Okay, you are truly salt of the Earth cause land. They weren't even doing anything with it! How is running a bed and breakfast equivalent to being a farmer? Whatever.

The ending was ludicrous. I maybe laughed at one point and went well that's going to be awkward for future family reunions. I can't talk without spoiling, but this book jumped into straight soap opera material, and not in a good way. ( )

Really enjoyed this book. A story of old hurts and healing. Likeable characters, romance and a lot of suspense. ( )

Jo Ellen Hathaway left home years ago to pursue a career as a photographer in New York but stress and a stalker sending her pictures, including one that appears to be her mother, dead. Her mother vanished years ago leaving her grieving father to deal with three children, which he did, badly.

Now she feels that she has to face her past, home means visiting old wounds. Her stalker seems to have followed her but she's finding solace with Nathan Delaney who is licking the wounds of a failed marriage and secrets that he found after his father died.

It's fairly typically Nora Roberts, these days she would have stretched the romances out over more books. ( )

I really enjoyed this one. It's a little outdated, but the suspense it great. ( )

Boekbeschrijving
Jo Ellen Hathaway is een succesvol fotografe. Al twintig jaar wordt ze gekweld door de vraag waarom haar moeder verdween toen zij nog een kind was. Dan begint iemand haar foto’s te sturen, eerst vreemde close-ups en tenslotte een schokkend, hartverscheurend portret: een foto van haar moeder – mooi, jong en onmiskenbaar dood.

Jo beseft dat het tijd is om terug te keren naar haar ouderlijk huis in het zuiden van de VS. Haar broer heeft er een sterrenrestaurant van gemaakt waar ook haar zus werkt, na een mislukte carrière als actrice. Voor Jo er erg in heeft, raakt ze weer verstrikt in de ingewikkelde familieverhoudingen die ze juist ontvlucht was. De dreiging van de geheimzinnige foto’s achtervolgt haar nog steeds. En welke rol speelt Nathan Delaney, een knappe, gevoelige architect in het geheel?
