Sacred Intentions (Arrington, #3/Prequel) Roxane Tepford Sanford
Set during the Civil War, this is the story of Amelia Arrington. Beautiful daughter of the wealthy Plantation owner Thomas Arrington. Life is perfect for Amelia at Sutton Hall, with her (slave) Nanny Mammy, and her daughter Hattie. Although Hattie is a "Negro-Slave" she is Amelias best friend and "Sister". Thomas is not the average slave owner, he treats his slaves as family, which seems normal to Am...more

Sacred Intentions is the prequel to The Girl in the Lighthouse and does not disappoint! This one brings all three novels in the Arrington series full circle; revealing dark secrets know one could ever guess. Seriously! Just when you think you may have this dysfunctional family figured out...think again!

Sacred Intentions takes place a few years before the Civil War begins on a southern plantation called Sutton Hall. Readers are re-acquainted with Abigail, Hamilton, Thomas Arrington and the oh-so-evil, Eugenia Arrington. The story quickly brings you into the world of young Amelia, and her unusual life on this southern plantation.
The story is filled with loss, betrayal, revenge and all things unspeakable.

4.5 Dysfunctional family stars out of 5!
Wow I never knew so much drama could go on before and during the Civil War!
This was a fantastic book, and thank you to Roxane Tepfer Sanford for allowing me to read this early copy.
I really loved the fact that this was told from Amelia’s point of view and loved getting the “back story” about the characters that lived in Sutton Hall. Great to find out who Amelia, Patrick Garrett, Warren Stone, Hattie, Jacob Thomas, Abigai...more

I really enjoyed this 3rd book in the Arrington series. I was drawn into this book by the setting of the South during the Civil War. Being a prequel to the first two books it made the Arrington family story come full circle. So much so that I almost want to read the first two books again to be able to pick up on some things that I probably missed the first time I read them.
This is the third book in this trilogy, but also a prequel to the second and third, so I read it first and glad I did, because it explained so much more of the family in earlier times. I wasn't too fond of a "particular relationship" in the story, but overall I liked the book. Reading the second book in this trilogy now and enjoying it.

As most prequels do, this one gave a lot of background to the next two books but came out last. These books are easy reads and just enjoyable. Not too much thought has to go into reading them and I liked all three books even though there were glaring editing errors in the final print.
I thought the book was wonderful. If you loved V.C. Andrews then you will love Roxane Sanford. This book was a page turner and I couldn't put it down. The characters come to life and you are there in time with them.
I liked this one the best in the series! The drama really kept you on the edge of your seat!
Loved Sacred Intentions! Very happy that Roxane Tepfer Sanford decided to tell the story of how Lillian eventually comes to be. This book is set during the Civil War at Sutton Hall in Savannah. Amelia Arrington learns of love, lust, loss, betrail, and abuse. This book answers questions that I was left with in the first two books, The Girl in the Lighthouse and All That is Beautiful. This book held lots of suprises and kept me reading till the end. Can't wait to see what Roxane chooses to write a...more
Great series. Only problem was with editing. Otherwise fabulous!
It was nice to have a little insight into Amelia's life before the light house. I would have like to have more definition on some of the key instances in Lillian's secluded life. For example; She had no knowledge of Santa Claus, why? It didn't appear that Amelia had a tragic situation that would have made her want to shelter Lillian from. All in all, it was good book. I enjoyed the series very much! :)
A fantasticly written gothic horor that has you capitvated & on th edge of your seat from the get go. Fast paced & page turning you have no idea where Amelias journey will take you next. If you like Virginia Andrews, your love Roxane Tepfer Sanford x x
