Safe Harbor (Drake Sisters, #5)

by Christine Feehan

In her fifth Drake Sisters novel, #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan introduces Hannah, one of seven extraordinary women who are gifted, enigmatic, and seductively enchanted... 
 
One of seven daughters in a line of extraordinary women, Hannah Drake has been the elusive object of affection for Jonas Harrington for as long at the rugged Sea Haven sheriff can remember. If only the stunning super-model was driven by a passion other than her career. But Jonas isn’t the only one with desires for Hannah. 
 
From the shadows has emerged a vengeful figure who stalks the beauty with one terrifying purpose: to strip her of all she is and destroy her. Only one man was destined as her protection. Now, out of a storm of danger, Jonas must guide the woman he loves from a sinister darkness that threatens not only Hannah, but the entire Drake family.

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.
