Publisher's summary

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.

Critic reviews

"Once again, Roberts proves that she's a top-notch romance writer. This enchanting and empowering tale is...terrifically entertaining." ( Booklist)
"A magnetic hero, a heroine who finds herself, and some memorable secondary characters weave a mesmerizing tale of witchcraft and magic." ( Library Journal)

Excellant Start to Three Sisters

This book surprised in that I really enjoyed the story and the female characters. Nell running from an abusive past. Mia a strong woman with a mystery yet to be uncovered but with a very strong mystical strength. . And Ripley running from a gift that has a hold of her. And Three Sisters Island. This is a great start to the trilogy. Nora draws us in wanting to know more about the sisters not only what is ahead for but also what really did happen to the original 3. Strong on romance soft on the steamy hot sex. And yes I recommend the listen. Sandra Burr does a great job with the narrations.

So well written

I have read her books before, but this one held my attention throughout! I was drawn to the characters and the storyline. The narration was wonderful with distinct characterizations! Keep them coming!

another hit

loved it just enough romance just enough excitement can't wait to start the second book

Sweet Story

Except for the soft porn (not necessary) the story was a touch juvenile. I did finish it but found it expected.

Always great!

Always a good read and great to listen too! One of my favorite authors.

Love the story line.

It's a little bit of Slow start, but then it gets good! I couldn't stop listening.

Loved the story!

Kept me interested throughout. The only criticism I have is that I wish the narrator could have managed a deeper male voice for Zack and a better voice for Lou Lou. I was able to overlook it after a few chapters.
I would still recommend this book!

Overall, very enjoyable, POSSIBLE SPOILERS

Not up to the level of “The Witness” or “Hideaway”, but still very good! There was one thing that really bothered me though — logistics! Specifically, the logistics of Nell’s work schedule and personal life. If Nell had to get up early every morn and cook soup, salads, and enough baked goods to fill a bakery case; work the counter until afternoon, run her catering business alone involving LOTS more cooking in her “spare” time, how in the world did she make time for a relationship? Or sleep?? I got tired just listening to all the work this woman could fit in one day!!! Ridiculous, and impossible! I found that harder to believe than the witchcraft!!
