I don't know if that's because I came in on the middle of the series or if this is just a weaker book than I'm used to from Feehan. I'll read others about the Drake sisters but I won't go looking for them. This Series is bout a family of magical sisters and the family ledged that all seven have powers, the first 6 each have a different power and the seventh has all six. This book is about Hannah, a super model, which is shy and needs to be protected by not only her sisters, but also the town’s local sheriff Jonas who has been in love with Hannah since they were kids. When a shadow starts stalking Hannah only one person can save her and the whole Drake family and that is Jonas. Good series not as good as her dark series but not a bad read, this one I had trouble getting through for some reason it was slow, not sure but I like the other ones more this one just dragged on me. On the surface this wasn't a bad read. A story about a psychically gifted model (Hannah) who is one of the Drake Sisters, who is in love with Jonas Harrington for a long time but unsure about where their relationship would go. Ends up scarred and chased and unsure of her future. He steps in as her protector and tries to help her. It's not a bad read on the surface and there are certain shining moments in the story but it shows a lot of what is cliched and bad about romance these days. She's tiny, overwhelmed by his size. Okay, it's a given that she is going to be small given that she's borderline anorexic because of stresses from her agent. However the anorexia and agent are pretty quickly dismissed. This is not the way either of these things run. He's prime abusive husband material. I'm not talking the "will strike a woman" type but he continuously talks about her being his "possession"; gets manic when she's not near him; talks about her future as if she had no choice and generally comes across as being both controlling and obsessive. Not generally good signs for a mature relationship! But that appears to be what Christine Feehan finds attractive in a man and what her fans want. Me, it creeps me out a bit, more than many straight horror stories. no reviews | add a review

Hannah Drake is an internationally known supermodel. Born the fifth daughter in the magical Drake family, Hannah can command the winds and is a very powerful spell-caster. Despite being forced into the limelight by her impressive career, Hannah has been harboring an enormous secret her whole life long: she is painfully shy can have crippling panic attacks. It is only with the help of her six sisters that Hannah is able to function in the real world, but they are not her only strength.
Sheriff Jonas Harrington has always been like a brother to the Drake sisters. They all grew up together, and Jonas has unceasingly been a protective figure in the lives of the extraordinary women, but his relationship with Hannah is different. From the time they were children, Jonas knew Hannah was meant to be his. The danger in his job always kept them from being together, but when Hannah is suddenly exposed to deadly peril, Jonas will do anything to keep her safe.
I have to say, Safe Harbor is possibly my favorite of the series so far. The relationship between Jonas and Hannah has been building for the past 4 books, and I was so happy to see them finally together. After all the arguing and teasing between the two of them in the other books, I was very happy to see them finally get past the bickering. In the other books, I kept waiting for one of Hannah's sisters to clue Jonas in and let him know about her panic attacks - it was so irritating, they think of him as family, they know how much he loves Hannah, but they still don't tell him the truth. When he saw her hysteria for himself, he was so understanding and caring to her.
As in all of Feehan's books, the action was full of non-stop excitement from start to finish. I had a hard time putting it down to go to sleep last night. I couldn't wait to see who was behind all the threats, and how they would go about getting out of harm's way again.
I thoroughly enjoyed Safe Harbor. I felt that Feehan did an excellent job of resolving the tension between Hannah and Jonas from the previous books, and it gives me great hopes for books 6 & 7. (
