About this listen

When Nell Channing arrives on charming Three Sisters Island, she believes that she's finally found refuge from her abusive husband - and from the terrifying life she fled so desperately eight months ago.

But even in this quiet, peaceful place, Nell never feels entirely at ease. Careful to conceal her true identity, she takes a job as a cook at the local bookstore café - and begins to explore her feelings for the island sheriff, Zack Todd.

But there is a part of herself she can never reveal to him - for she must continue to guard her secrets if she wants to keep the past at bay. One careless word, one misplaced confidence, and the new life she's so carefully created could shatter completely.

Just as Nell starts to wonder if she'll ever be able to break free of her fear, she realizes that the island suffers from a terrible curse - one that can only be broken by the descendants of the Three Sisters, the witches who settled the island back in 1692.

Now, with the help of two other strong, gifted women - and the nightmares of the past haunting her every step - she must find the power to save her home, her love...and herself.

sounds too much like a computer

The story is wonderful. exactly what I would expect from Nora. The narration was awful when it came to the male characters. The voice made Zach sound very unmanly, hard to fall in love with. Mia was portrayed by her voice to be a very old woman. it was very frustrating to listen to. I want to listen to the rest of the series but am hesitant if it is the same narrator.

Really Enjoyed The Narrator

I have read the reviews saying they don't like the narrator. I really enjoyed the style Sandra Burr uses. I also enjoy Nora Roberts stories.

Voice actor is distracting

Ok so I don’t usually write reviews but I just have to on this occasion. There is no way this voice actor should portray a 20 something woman. The choice of actor was distracting from the story. All of the characters were supposed to be in their late 20’s however I spend the majority of the story picturing them as late 40 somethings. It was jarring each time age was established because the voice was so far from the image it sought to portray. The story was overall ok and I stuck it out for that purpose. I bought the book and the rest in this series as they were on sale but if it’s the same actress then I’ll just return them. As for the story I really didn’t like the zack character. Despite the author and other characters assertions that he was such an upstanding sensitive guy he was most certainly not. He was pushy and at time down right stalkerish in the way he pursued Nel. He kept forcing himself of her with unsolicited touches and his insistence on ignoring her clear wishes to not be pursued romantically. At times it was down right cringe worthy the way he manipulated nel into joining him at his place to get a plastic bag she did not want or need. The dynamic between them was almost that of superior and inferior like he was abusing his position of power and influence in the community to corral her into spending time with him and getting into a relationship with him. The book missed the mark on these two fronts I hope the next two do a better job.

Meh

I like Nora’s adventure stories but these characters were annoying. I had the most sympathy for Nell. But Zach? So pushy in a situation of male authority and then SHOCKED that a woman who had told him repeatedly that she had a complicated personal history and had clearly been abused but he just wouldn’t listen to her. Instead of being patient and encourage her work toward getting over the trauma of her past, he pushed forward in his own agenda and then was SHOCKED when her complicated history emerged. Honestly, he had known the woman for 5 months before he proposed. It’s not romantic, it’s creepy. Nora is capable of much more interesting characters.

Could not get through it.

The performance is so bad I could not get through it no matter how I tried. Very disappointing, will try reading it myself which Im sure would be good.
