ARC Book Review - Savage Sanctuary, by Mary Catherine Gebhard

 

Book Rating: 

Book Tropes: Dark Romance, Forbidden, opposites attract/ bad boy / spoiled American Princess, Steamy, Slow Burn. 

I haven’t read any of the Crowne Point series yet, but this book definitely directing me to read the other books in the series. 

Gemma Crowne - America’s Princess. Her life has never been her own. Her life has been pre-planned for her since she was born. Gemma comes from upper New York wealth. She needs for nothing. She wants for everything. She has no true friends, all the girls who still surround her will sell her out in a minute if given the chance. Gemma never knows who to trust. Her mother is trying to set her up with a wealthy many to marry. But most of the 'suitor's' know about Gemma and her link to the Four Horsemen, and many of those who come around her never stay alive for long.  

Gemma Quote: If Grim is your reaper, then you're his fucking reckoning. He knows you're going to kill him, and he refuses to let you go. 

Grim - a member of the Four Horsemen men. Raze, Wraith & Lock, are the other Four Horsemen members. He’s know Gemma since they were in school together, he's stalked / watched her ever since he saw her crying in a empty room one day. He saved her from drowning, and they have been doing a dance around each other ever since.  

When Grim took on Gemma's debt by saving her, he didn't know the last 5 years would be protecting her from the men who came out in the night to harm her. He's killed more for her than she will ever realize. His Horsemen brother's can't understand why he keeps saving her.

Quote:  

He was a Grim, a criminal from the wrong side of the tracks. We were never meant to be anything but this - one soul enslaved to another - because the day we finally gave in to our temptation was the moment he became my reaper. 

I did receive a free ARC copy for this book. I am freely leaving a honest book review.
