Rating:  Summary: I hated it! Review: I kept trying to like it and picking it up again wanting it to be what I have come to expect from Ms. Roberts, but I hated it. I gave it to the flight attendant because I couldn't throw it out the window! I simply did not like the characters and felt that their portrayal was somewhat demeaning to Southerners. I love Nora Roberts and began to read her when she wrote under another name, but this one was not up to her usual standards. Could it be that she is going the way of Danielle Steele and simply cranking books out for money, without regard to plot? Sad.
Rating:  Summary: HATED IT! GAVE IT TO THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT Review: SLOW would be a fast word for this book. It was not well developed and I hated the characters in it. Bought in an airport and thought it would amuse me for a long trip. Wished I could have thrown it out the window, but instead gave it to a flight attendant who didn't appear to be very well-read.
Rating:  Summary: Captivating and fun! Review: I thought Sancuary was very enjoyable. The plot is a little predictable and the main characters hop into bed quite quickly with one another, but that's to be expected that from these types of books. Overall, I found this book quite enjoyable and continue to look forward to reading her future books.
Rating:  Summary: A lovely place to go, without the characters - please! Review: The setting on a barrier island off the Atlantic coast is realistic and well done. This is a place I'd love to go! (Feel the sand between your toes; hear the howl of the wind.) The story and the characters are not so imaginative, but fall into the trite category, particularly the "bodice ripper" type scenes. And I'm personally not fond of the main character and her cigarettes (smells like an ashtray). Ms. Roberts can write, but her character studies are shallow and not believable.
Rating:  Summary: A Real Page Turner! Review: I could not put this book down. The characters come to life in this book, and from the beginning it is a "what happened and a who done it!" I finished it off in a matter of days, as I had to know for sure who was the mystery person. In fact I was quite surprised that at the end of the book, that I had known all along. Even tho I swayed a few times on "who" it was. Very suspenseful, and a great read!
Rating:  Summary: Wonderfully captivating!!! Review: This is my first Nora Roberts novel and I just can't believe how wonderful it is!! It's just a page-turner and she holds your attention from the first page until the end. I was kind of disappointed in the ending though, it just ended...
Rating:  Summary: Indiana reader rates Sanctuary 5 stars... Review: Sanctuary is one of NR's most enticing, romantic and mysterious novels yet! I have not yet finished the book (I've had it for two days) but I plan on finishing the last few chapters this afternoon on my way home from work. I have read at least 12 books by Nora Roberts and every single one of them has been fantastic. I suppose you could say I'm a NR addict!In Sanctuary, Nora Roberts develops at least four hot and steamy romances along with a very suspenseful murder mystery. I can't wait to find out who it is! Nora Roberts writes stories that stay with you forever. I have not read a book that I have not thought about since and I will read them all again! Thank you Nora for the most entertaining, suspenseful and romantic times I've had over the last several months! And congratulations on your success!
Rating:  Summary: The first book that has moved me to tears. Review: I just brought this book to have something to read while I was going back and forth to work, but from the first page to the last it kept me captivated. This is the first book that I have read from Nora Roberts and my goal is to read all of her books. No other book has brought tears to my eyes. NEVER! I really enjoyed reading Sanctuary.
Rating:  Summary: NR has really out done herself this time. Review: This book grabs from the first page and won't let go of you eve nafter you close the last page. It's a page turner. You just have to know what's going to happen next. The portrayal of the bad guy as a demented brother gives the book an all to scary twist to the standard way it would have read. I think this story will be a classic for years to come.
Rating:  Summary: One of Robert's best! Review: This book was definetly one of Nora Robert's best. I loved it and didn't want it to end. It has just the right amount of suspense and romance to keep most readers captivated. Buy it!
