Raintree

Sanctuary

By: Beverly Barton

Narrated by: Gabrielle de Cuir, Stefan Rudnicki

War with their archrival, the evil Ansara clan, is unavoidable. For Mercy Raintree, a war means she must assume her position as guardian of the Sanctuary: the sacred Raintree home place deep in the Smoky Mountains. But doing so threatens to disclose her most prized secret, one Mercy has kept to herself for six years.

As the solstice looms, and the battle heats up, Dranir Judah Ansara gathers his forces, intending to wipe every Raintree from the face of the land. Including Mercy, whom he's claimed as his to kill. Then he comes face-to-face with her - and with her daughter, Eve. Will Mercy's closely guarded secret change not only the outcome of the battle, but also Judah's own bitter heart?

Best on of the trilogy

This one was the best of the 3 Raintree books. Story and voices were perfect.

Not as good, not disapointing either

Not as good as the first two books in the series, but worth listening too. I did feel that it had a pretty abrupt ending, most of the focus was on the main couple and the big fight we have all been waiting for really wasn't that long and the book was over. It did tie up the series in a fitting way, however. The daughter was pretty annoying, what a brat. All in all I'm glad I listened to it and would listen to again.

Excellent

Narrative of characters voice changes wasn't usual quality. Storyline was great as always. love, love!

Good end to the trilogy

I enjoyed all three books. the story and how it was linked was great. recommend

An unexpected conclusion . . .

Beverly Barton is a good writer, however, the storyline to the conclusion of the Raintree and Ansara clash was not the best. I agree with Rebecca that the interaction between Judah Ansara and Mercy Raintree had wayyyy too much violence. And that the brevity of the book (under 300 pages) restricted full development of the main characters and the inclusion of the great couples that we met in the earlier books of this trilogy.
