This is a charming story of a white knight. Ben is in love with Mary. They have been together for five years, but he is unable to relate his feelings or intentions.  Frustrated, Mary meets Donald and falls for him, she moves into his home and quickly learns he is a (boring) controller. When she tells him she is carrying Ben's child he wants nothing to do with it...Mary is alone.Ben, broken hearted, is following his dream of living in France and  finds a property with two cottages in need of some tender loving care in the Loire Valley. He gets a mysterious email from the lovely Katie (Mary's rival for Ben) and he is off to Germany to free her from human traficers, who have kidnapped her to hold as ransom until they can find her husband, Dave.Sanctuary is a well written, first novel for our author.  I loved the development of the characters, they are charming.  The quirky, best friend Georgina "Grunge" and the implementation of Madam Delphine was genius.  The story line is concise and there are twists and turns that keep your attention.  I found myself laughing or saying 'Oh no' out loud. This is a great weekend/rainy day/beach read and I cannot wait to read the sequel "Repercussions".
