Let's make a thread for Safe Harbor Reviews
Be warned, these reviews may contain spoilers!
This is from Harriet Klausner
A bewitching Drake thriller starring the pair fans have waited for
Mendocino County Sheriff Jonas Harrington takes a bullet when he finds himself in the middle of a Russian Mafia hit. His childhood archenemy supermodel Hannah Drake uses her paranormal skill to control the wind by calling up its force to save his life.
However soon after rescuing the sheriff, Hannah is brutally attacked and left to die. Ilya Parkenskii keeps her barely alive waiting for the Drake sisters, powerful witches to arrive to save their sibling’s life. Meanwhile a stunned Jonas stops running from his attraction to Hannah, vowing to not only keep her safe if her siblings miraculously save her life he swears he will hunt down her adversary, not understanding what he has vowed to defeat.
Readers who have followed the previous tales of the seven Drake sisters (see OCEANS OF FIRE AND THE TWILIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS) know that the lead couple has been bickering nonstop since they met as children and continue in this paranormal romance until danger stalks Hannah. The story line is action-packed and like the previous sibling thrillers over the top yet the support cast keeps the plot focused. Christine Feehan provides a bewitching Drake thriller starring the pair fans have waited for.-------- Harriet Klausner

Feehan kicks off episode five of her popular Drake Sisters series-concerning a septet of paranormally gifted sibs-with everything her fans have come to expect: action, gunplay, danger, bad guys, good guys, gorgeous women and magic. All that's missing are her spicy love scenes; those come later, and their promise is enough to keep pages turning. On top of that promise, however, is the intriguing mystery of the supermodel slasher, who attacks shy-but-smoldering Hannah, one of the sisters, at New York's annual Fashion Week. Hunky Sheriff Jonas Harrington, a longtime family friend, is fresh from a life-threatening encounter with the Russian mob when he witnesses, on live TV, Hannah getting cut down by a madman with a knife. After the sisters rush to her side, saving her with their combined powers, Jonas vows to hunt down the assailant-but his unrequited love for Hannah complicates matters. This winning series entry is sure to please devotees and shouldn't provide much difficulty for curious newbies.
Romance Junkies Reviews
From the balcony of her ancestral home, Hannah spreads her hands and becomes one with the wind, sending the help she knows Jonas and Jackson need. With a whispered "come home soon", she settles down to wait for Jonas. Several days later when Jonas walks in the door, it is to a coldly angry reception. As always rather than speak his heart, he starts in harassing Hannah about her modeling career. Tempers flare as is the norm between this tumultuous couple, neither of them wanting to be the first to speak the truth of their feelings. Hannah departs for her next modeling assignment with trepidation, nothing has felt right about this job since Jonas' call for help. Even the warning of the moon can not prepare her for what is to come.
Frustrated, angry and worried, Jonas watches with Hannah's sister Sarah as Hannah works the crowd. Sarah proud of her style and grace, Jonas jealous of the men ogling what he considers his. Both begin to fill a strong sense of danger, the sure knowledge that something is terribly wrong swamping them. Their worst fears are realized when Hannah is brutally attacked.
SAFE HARBOR, the fifth book in Ms. Feehan's widely acclaimed Drake Sisters series is packed with action, danger and heart-rending emotion. The long awaited story of Hannah and Jonas is all that Ms. Feehan's fans could have asked for. Just as Hannah and Jonas seem to find their way to each other's heart they are plunged into danger, leaving the readers gasping for breath and praying along with the Drake sisters that they will find and destroy those responsible for the danger that is stalking them. Ms. Feehan has a unique talent to blend action, emotion and humor in such a way that has your turning page after page, reading and rereading her books to catch every last drop.
Another 5 star story that I suggest the readers to start early in the day as with all the action you will not want to put it down until you are done.
So we get to see Illya again & he helps Hannah! This is great! Now maybe Joley won't hate him as much! LOL
