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?

Zowie! First of all let me say I am opinionated in rescue because that is part of what I do and who I am so this book was right up my alley in the where the setting and drama took place. LOVE THAT! Thank you Amanda for bringing light onto animals who need us through Lil and her father.
Lil Harris was in her heaven on earth. The Sanctuary housed elephants, lion, Bengal tigers and more. All rescued from abuse or unethical living conditions. She is a warrior fighting for those with no voice – YES! Needing help Lil’s father puts in with the local sheriff to start a program for troubled youth and young adults. It was the perfect solution for enlisting help around the property and in turn hoping the interaction would change the lives of those coming to them. The new guy was to come tomorrow and her Dad felt since he was close to Lil’s age she could show him around until things settled down a bit. … YUP …
Justice Armstrong is not pleased that he is heading to a zoo of all places. He was first introduced to the life of crime at age nine by his legal guardian, Jeffrey O’Dowell. It was a laughable waste of money. Justice was never going to care about anyone or anything. He was who he was thanks to his wonderful crap hand in life. Meeting the little spitfire named “Lil” just brightened his day. She was feisty and he loved the fact that she stood up to him. Maybe moving from one prison to another wasn’t so bad after all. When the past tears him apart again the voice of an angel is the only thing that might just bring him back.
This is a really fantastic read. Its not because of the rescue part but the storyline of giving someone a chance, not judging and holding on to someone you know who can be better is magnificent. Too many people play judge and jury tossing those who have made mistakes aside with no regard. Lil’s father Tom saw something good in Justice as did Lil. I love love love this type of read. There is a bit of a shocker near the end of the story that kind of put things a little over the top but again Justice deserved it.
No cliffhanger and a great story with phenomenal characters. I would love a book about a couple of those secondary peeps.
Thank you Amanda for the ARC! Review to post to Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets.
