Cruel Sanctuary book was really great and mysterious reading, full of passion between main characters. It captured me from the very first chapter, lost in the maze of secrets, suspicions and all that made me feel a little bit dizzy. If I add a mix of criminal world with powerful and dangerous hot alpha, hate-love steamy romance, you will be as swoony as I was during the reading.

Aislinn Granville life was so perfectly arranged. She was independent successful woman, working as a political strategist. She knew how to handle this, basically, men's world. She had strength courage, very aserttive attitude and sassy mouth.

He was a King of corruption. Everything about him screams power and danger. He was a businessman of the dark world. He definitely wasn't a man who you could trusted to, but does Aislinn had any other choice? But when her world got mingled with dangerous, criminal world and Aislinn stuck in the middle of it , her life became endangered and it seemed that only “devil of the New York”, Damon King can save her.

Maybe they’re not supposed to meet each other, or their fate was written in the stars a long time ago, nothing was certain for sure. Whole plot was surprising from the very first chapter and I was absorbing every one word. Author revealed secrets of the story piece by piece and I was like WOW. I love books where hero and heroine are strong and complex characters. I loved their hate-love with so much angst. I loved the chemistry slowly burning between them. It was nice to see how this complicated relationship was changing them and waking unfamiliar feelings. I was so curious where this story is heading. So many questions appeared in my head but I was left alone with the huge cliffhanger at the end of the first part. Now I’m waiting impatiently for book 2 Corrupt Savior.

FREE EXCERPT

“Put me down.” I keep my cool, making the demand as stiffly as if I’m asking him to pass the salt. But my show of composure crumbles as he angles his head to look at me. Barely an inch separates the tips of our noses. I stare, entranced by the fine scar that marks his left eyebrow. I want to kiss it. “Or what?” “Hmmm?” One corner of his mouth tics up, his eyes flicking away from mine. “You look damn good in my arms.” I follow his stare and am met by our reflection in the bathroom mirror. I blink, taking in the sight of my naked body held against King’s broad chest, the tanned, inked forearms I’d practically drooled over earlier now wrapped around my back and behind my knees. I am naked. King is dressed. There is something indecently erotic about our image. I look like the heroine of an old Harlequin novel—a down on her luck maid or secretary about to be ravished by her big, bad boss. A powerless woman soon to be stripped of her virtue. I know what it’s like when a man overpowers a woman. When he uses force to take what’s not his. To hurt and abuse and terrorize. And I know that this isn’t that. It may not look like it, but I have the power in this situation. Damon King came to me. First at my apartment and now in his. He broke down two doors tonight. I may be naked, but the only reason he’s touching me is because he knows I want him to. Emboldened, I look away from our reflection and directly into King’s eyes again. Leaning in, I brush the tip of my nose against his. “Kiss me.” I’ve barely pushed the words out when his lips are on mine. The taste of him is an explosion inside my mouth. Smooth and potent, but with a hint of mint. As if he swilled some of that Balvenie from his bar and then sucked on a peppermint candy. He kisses like a conqueror. Stealing my breath along with the last of my reservations. He kisses like a king. Staking his claim, demanding his due.
