The Man from Sanctum by Lexi Blake: Review

I have to admit, I have not read many Lexi Blake books before this one. In fact, I have found one I reviewed from years ago and another on Goodreads only. Now I wonder why!

She writes stories that are totally in my favorite genre – romantic suspense. This book in the series is like book 24 or something. Where have I been?? I am remedying that now!

Due to publish in early March, this book is a spicy number that will fire you up! Read on for my full review.

But when Maddie realizes her boss might be part of an international conspiracy, she can’t deny Deke might be her best bet to solve the mystery.

A dangerous future

As Maddie and Deke begin to uncover her boss’s secrets, they can’t deny the chemistry that has reignited. But before they can explore the connection growing between them, they must survive the deadly forces hunting them down.

The Man from Sanctum by Lexi Blake Review

I love second-chance romance stories. They just get you in the feels if they are written in the right way and this one is written in a fabulous method.

This story offers a bit of everything; suspense, hot scenes with a very light taste of BDSM, and wonderful characterization that makes this one book you do not want to stop reading.

I loved Deke. He was so in love with Maddie. He was so sweet, loving, and protective of her, it just makes you want to sigh. Not to mention his alpha ways were spot on.

Maddie was a delicate balance for him. Cautious, straightforward, but all in for Deke in her heart. I love that she was the brain in the story. Nice twist.

Blake crafted a book that was a treasure to read. It had been years since I read her and I am thrilled to have found her again, especially this series.

The Man from Sanctum offers a great blend of suspense, steam, and second chance romance for a well-rounded book that can easily become my next addiction!
