Hello and welcome to worst bestsellers, where we read about big desires on lost desire island, so you don't have to.

I'm Renata.

And I'm Kate. And for this episode,

we read Sanctuary by Nora Roberts. Joining us to discuss this 90s romantic thriller are the

romance-obsessed Nora Superfans, Heidi and Emily, co-host of the podcast, Romancing the Shelf. Hello.
