Damon King, everybody, you are in for an absolute treat with Cruel Sanctuary. And we can't forget about the spitfire that suits this, well ... anti-hero. I'm thinking that I need to read more books with anti-heroes because Damon King has just become my favorite one yet. This read is an indulgence and I simply couldn't get enough, it has just enough dark where it doesn't seem uncomfortable, but rather on fire the entire time. These two are absolutely hot together!

Everything about this man is just insufferable, he's cocky and arrogant, walks and talks like he owns the place. But he has everyone and everything to back him up. There's something definitely alarming and alluring about him, it's absolutely hard to resist the man. He's both telling you to come closer and run the other way. Confusing right? But once you read about him, you'll definitely get what I'm saying. I love it when they're completely hard on the outside and never backing down on anything, they're rarely so weak. And he surprised me when it came to Aislinn, he could easily succumb to her without giving it away that he was. That always left me on edge because someone is after Aislinn and she's constantly being watched.

I've been on a bit of a streak lately with awesome books. I pretty much LOVED every minute of this. I read a book by this author awhile back (ROCK KING) and enjoyed it quite a lot. I am not sure why I didn't continue with that series, but I am certainly glad I went with my gut and signed up for an early copy of this book. It had everything I LOVE in a romance book, and none of the cliché crap I hate. (lol)

 
So deets...I found this to be a well written and well paced. It was a relatively short book that took me around two hours (give or take) to finish. It was told in a dual POV format. The plot was engaging and held my attention throughout. I didn't find it particularly angsty. More like acrimonious foreplay. (lol) The sex scenes were smokin' hot. It had an intriguing cast of secondary characters. I ADORED both the main characters in this book. Damon's character is my favorite type of anti-hero. He was a bossy a$$hole. He was damaged. He was sexy as sin. However, underneath all that is lurking a decent human being that will protect Aislinn with his life. As much as I loved Damon, I LOVED Aislinn even more. Girl had a set of balls on her. (lol) She gave as good as she got. She wasn't a pushover. She was also sweet and kind. Together these two had OFF THE CHARTS on page chemistry. Last, it was all wrapped up in a whopper of a cliffhanger, and I am not above begging for book two ASAP!

 
SIDE NOTE: I've mentioned this before, and I want to mention it on this review as well. I really appreciate authors that can write a fantastic story that includes no pointless or cliché OW drama. Such was the case here. No, Damon wasn't a saint (and thank the lord Aislinn wasn't a virgin), but their sexual pasts didn't play a third character, nor was there even a BLIP of OW drama. So I am giving the author props for that, and I hope book two continues to be OW free.
