Life is sweet in The
Sanctuary—until Lillian Harris is thrown the curveball of her life.
Lillian is perfectly
happy cocooned within the lofty perimeter fence of The Sanctuary. Her
Sanctuary—a vast oasis for rescued lions, tigers, and elephants. The animals
are her world. So when Lillian’s dad tells her a nineteen-year-old criminal
who’s fresh out of prison is coming to The Sanctuary as part of a
rehabilitation program, Lillian is more than a little apprehensive. She
interacts with animals more than humans—and definitely not criminals.
Justice Armstrong is
more arrogant than a Silverback, but something darker lurks behind his eyes…
It isn’t until Justice
swaggers toward her from the parole officer’s car—pierced, confident, and more
than a little hot—Lillian knows she has her work cut out for her. His stare has
the power to rob her of all thoughts. His words, although crude and nefarious,
bring a part of her to life she never knew existed. How is this criminal
suddenly turning her world upside down?
He has the power to
drag her to the dark side....
Pain is his drug of
choice, a vice he can’t survive without. Then he meets Lillian Harris. Little
miss hellcat. Fiery, strong, and all woman. She challenges him at every damn
turn, and watching her tame those fierce big cats makes his need for her that
much stronger. He wants to do things to her…wicked things. She makes him crave
pain in a whole new way.
When a teen with a
dark past bumps heads with a feisty rescue worker, will it be love over lust—or
a matter of life and death?
It was a such heart breaker story that turned out in a greater Hope. The analogy about the care of the mistreated animals with the Justice Life story digged deep in your bones leaving us with sour feeling of some sadness because of the horror that surrounds it and at the same time gave us Faith, Hope and this feeling of Happiness when you could see that will be always second chances and hope when you recognize that still people in this world who want to make a difference. Thank you Amanda Mickey for such wonderful breathtaking story. And Hot as hell as well, uff. The book Rocks big time
It seems even pregnancy will not stop Laura Fitz from being a corpse magnet, as she stumbles yet again onto another dead body. While Laura is talking to the police, she receives a phone call from hubby. Apparently, Laura’s gift or curse for discovering the dead and becoming embroiled in the nasty affairs of the murder has rubbed off on to Gerry, for he has found his cousin near death.
The Fitz’s have once again become entangled in murder, mayhem, the lives of others along with the danger it entails. But, through it, all Laura remains her witty self. Gerry doesn’t fair as well as his love for Laura and their coming baby, upset his judgement at times. After all, it is difficult to be objective when the life of one's wife is on the line.
Ms. Vaughan has another terrific read in Left for Dead. I enjoyed this book enormously and highly recommend it to everyone.
