Story
Photographer Jo Ellen Hathaway thought she'd escaped the house called Sanctuary long ago. She'd spent her loneliest years there, after the sudden, unexplained disappearance of her mother. Yet the sprawling inn on an island off the Georgia coast continues to haunt her dreams. And now, even more haunting are the pictures someone is sending her: strange close-ups and candids, culminating in the most shocking portrait of all - a photo of her mother - naked, beautiful, and dead.

After an assault at her family home in Maine, Dr. Miranda Jones is determined to put the experience behind her.

Publisher's Summary
At 25, Princess Adrianne lives a life most people would envy. Beautiful and elegant, she spends her days dabbling in charities and her nights floating from one glamorous gala to the next. But her pampered-rich-girl pose is a ruse, a carefully calculated effort to hide a dangerous truth.
For 10 years Adrianne has lived for revenge. As a child, she could only watch the cruelty hidden behind the facade of her parents' fairy-tale marriage. Now she has the perfect plan to make her famous father pay. She will take possession of the one thing he values above all others - The Sun and the Moon, a fabled necklace beyond price.
Yet just as she is poised to take her vengeance, she meets a man who seems to divine her every secret. Clever, charming, and enigmatic, Philip Chamberlain has his own private reasons for getting close to Princess Adrianne. And only when it's too late will she see the hidden danger…as she finds herself up against two formidable men - one with the knowledge to take her freedom, the other with the power to take her life.

Unhappy with the reader.
What did you like best about Sweet Revenge? What did you like least?
I love Nora Roberts. Her stories are Romantic and interesting. Her women are strong and intelligent. But with sweet Revenge the reader made all the women either lisp or sound like a whiny drag queen. And the usually rugged men sound as if they are all trying to be Errol Flinn.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Sweet Revenge?
I have a hard time picking just one. But the last confrontation with the King is my favorite.
How could the performance have been better?
Having a reader with a better understanding of the Author.
What would have made this romance irresistible?
A better reader
Any additional comments?
I hope that Sweet Revenge is not a " first book" for someone trying out a new author. It would seriously hurt the reputation of Nora Roberts if it is.

The WORST Nora Roberts book
Would you try another book from Nora Roberts and/or Napoleon Ryan?
Nora Roberts is one of my favorite authors. Napoleon Ryan is the worst narrator I've had the misfortune of hearing.
What was most disappointing about Nora Roberts’s story?
The setting. I'm not fond of stories involving the Middle East these days.
What didn’t you like about Napoleon Ryan’s performance?
His voice alone is irritating enough.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I stopped listening to it after about an hour or so. So, that said, I found nothing actually that I liked.
Any additional comments?
I will be more careful the next time I order an audible book, and make sure I listen to the sample before purchasing a book.

When Phillip caught her stealing back her necklace. Her emotions were caused her to be careless, showing a great new side of her.

Might have enjoyed the book more
The story was charming with a bit of intensity. The beginning or setup is a little long & drawn out. The reader's voice was annoying, his affectations and over the top inflections were a bit clichéd which affected my enjoyment of the story. Full disclosure, I prefer a woman's voice when telling a story about a woman. I get why they chose a male voice however. One important note, if you have been affected by a rape in any way, you may not want to listen to this book.
