Blurb: They say New York City is the Devil’s Playground. They’re wrong. This city belongs to me. And so does Aislinn Granville.

She is a pampered politician’s daughter. A decorative ornament, raised to smile and nod and do what she’s told.

Except… she doesn’t. Not with me. Ever.

In this city full of thugs and thieves, I’ve kept Aislinn safe. From my enemies. From me.

Until now.

   

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.

 

Dark romance is not normally my thing but Tara Leigh and her debut  into the darkness has made me question why I have never really picked up many books in this genre. Cruel Sanctuary took over my life I couldn’t put it down but please be aware it does end on a cliff hanger......
This is Damien King and Aislinn Granville’s story and what a tale they have to tell, the daughter of a politician who doesn’t understand why she needs protection and the bad boy turned protector is the jist of this story and that’s all I’m going to say because I believe you need to read this book first hand with no preconceived ideas of where this dark romance will take you .....
This book has it all, characters with sizzling chemistry, twists and turns, violence and passion and this roller coaster of love and emotions will certainly give you all the feels you expect in a great read. This book may end on a cliff hanger but I believe we won’t have long to wait for book 2 Corrupt Savior which is coming very soon.
