(I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review).
SANCTUARY ISLAND
(Sanctuary Island: Book One)
written by Lily Everett
genre: contemporary romance
3 STARS
Ella Preston's sister, Merry is pregnant and wishes to reunite with their estranged mother. When Ella's boss forces her to take a vacation she agrees to go with her sister go to Sanctuary Island. She vows to not let her mother into her heart and is determined to not have any fun. That is until she meets handsome Grady Wilkes. Grady, however, is like family to her mother and tries to change Ella's mind about her. Will being with Grady include having to forgive her mother? Will she lose her sister and her own heart to Sanctuary Island?
A cute novel about love, family and forgiveness. There is nothing outstanding in this novel that sets it apart from other contemporary romance series. The romance between Grady and Ella is awkward and forced at times which makes a reader feel uncomfortable. Since you do not really get to know any of the characters it is hard to root for a character. Yet, the heart in this novel is present and shows promise. I am in for the next book and will see if I continue the series.
