Secret Sanctuary

De: Nance Sparks

Narrado por: Keira Grace

Alexandria Trenton is tired of living alone, but keeping secrets comes with a steep price. After growing up in witness protection, Alex is now a US deputy marshal specializing in protecting those awaiting trial. It’s a life that she simply can’t share, especially not when omitting the truth feels so wrong.

Alex’s world is turned upside down when her mentor passes away and his granddaughter, Elina Hawkins, shows up at the ranch the marshals are using to hide witnesses. Will the ranch be able to continue the sanctioned work? Or will she get a new assignment and be pulled away from the only place that feels like home? If she stays, can she resist the attraction she feels for Elina?

Even love has to wait when danger threatens everyone at the ranch. It’s the fight of Alex’s life to defend the secret sanctuary, and most importantly, protect Elina.

Liked this one a lot.

A first time listening to this author, really enjoyed it. I'll be looking forward to other books from them.

Good book

I read this one in a day. Loved the suspense and characters. This is my first book by this author. It definitely won't be the last. Narrator was good as well.

Action. Suspense. Some lovin’. Yes, please. Can I have some more?

Don’t you love it when you’ve got a smile plastered on your face in the midst of the chapter? For instance, when a character says the word “stampede”, and you find yourself in the middle of the rugged range right there on horseback along side the main characters with the dust kicked up from nervous hooves hanging in the air, and you’re sitting in the saddle clueless as what to do other than think, “What the heck? Which way should I go?”… well, yeah, I got that huge smile on my face at that exact moment. And this isn’t a western, by the way, I don’t want to mislead you. Instead, think US Marshall Service… Witness Protection Program. This is a rugged, contemporary novel with action, suspense, and a great romance. If you like a trek in the woods, eluding the bad guys, and a gun fight or two… oh, and did I mention hot women? If any of that piques your interest, you’ve just found your next book. The author, Nance Sparks, delivers and does not disappoint with this mystery.

Our main characters, Elina and Alex, are realistic, flawed, and relatable. And, they’re perfect for each other. They’re both strong and capable women in power roles. They each hold secrets they don’t want to reveal, but as the story unfolds, they discover the benefits of trusting one another… in a variety of ways. Mmm-hmm. Good stuff. Yes, indeed.

I LOVE a book that keeps me on the edge of my seat. This Goldie Award Nominee did just that. I recommend it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I look forward to reading more from this author. Are you still reading this review? If so, why? You should be downloading the book instead. Do yourself a favor.

Excellent!

Excellent story! The plot development worked the story very well! It was suspenseful, and fast moving. I liked the integration of Native American culture. It was beautiful. I loved the two main characters and the grandmother was one though cookie! The narration was very well done.

BEST STORY LINE EVER

I'm a hetero female, however I ABSOLUTELY LOVED "SECRET SANCTUARY"!
The story line and plot twist were fabulously unexpected and refreshing. Definitely worth a read. I want to see a movie made from this book! I am very excited to read more by this author.

what an excellent listen

This was a wonderful storyline. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I highly recommend this. don't pass it by.

The characters and the culture

The narrator was monotone it took away from the story. I loved the book so much and a different person reading it would make all the
Difference.
