Review

I'm dead! Gah, I had missed my King. 

Book 2 was just as epic as the first one. Starting off just has Cruel Sanctuary had ended, we get to see Aisleen being the bada$$ she is. This woman proved exactly what I already knew, she is strong and brave and the perfect match for Damon. While we get to see Aisleen strong side come out, we simultaneously get to see Damon's vulnerable side. He feels insane without his Queen and he will do anything to get her back but the girl saves herself in this one (sort of).
There were so many surprising and unexpected things happening while Aisleen was held captive, I really loved that part of the plot because it definitely caught me by surprise.  And later on, when more things were revealed regarding the whole Los Muertos situation... and trust me I conjured up many teories of my own and I picked up clues that actually weren't clues at all xD So kudos to you Tara, you got me!

When it comes to Damon and Aisleen's relationship it was thriving in in the midst of all the chaos and surprises that had them making sudden actions you'll be happy about and also making them suspicious over everything. It was all good between them until there's this thing that happens (sorry for the vagueness) and suddenly things are not okay at all. And I just think that this 'thing' was taken out of proportion and was just for the sake of having a conflict between them, which to me was not necessary at all, specially with everything else already happening around them. BUT it made Damon finally admit to himself his feelings for Aisleen and want to say those three "little" words. Gah, Damon being romantic was both funny and so darn cute.

Then when Aisleen learned all the secrets Damon had been keeping about her past, I honestly thought that that would have been the thing that would have caused the conflict between them but no, Aisleen let Damon be there for her and I was so happy about it. Seeing Aisleen learn about her half sister was so emotional, I loved that that made their bond even stronger and that she had family other than Damon and her ailing mother.

Corrupt Savior was everything I was expecting it to be. Damon and Aisleen were both better than ever and I just loved them both so much! You get so many sides of them both in this book. Damon is just as ruthless but you definitely get to see his softer side that only Aisleen can bring out of him. And she was so fierce, her character growth was just amazing! She was a Queen fit to rule alongside her King, there was no one better or no one who could stand beside him other than her. And if you thought that the last book was HOT, then you are not ready for this one! Prepare to be set to flames!

Corrupt Savior was definitely Tara Leigh's darkest book to date and I loved seeing her venture into a different trope and absolutely rocking it. For someone who just recently started reading dark romances and learning to love them, Tara gave me two delicious books that I loved and devoured and will forever remember. This duet is possibly my favorite ever of her books and yes I have read and loved them all.



Blurb:
I am the monarch of Manhattan’s underworld.
A corrupt king, ruling a sinful empire.
I wasn’t born to the crown.
Nevertheless, I wear it well.
Aislinn Granville is the Crown Jewel of my empire—my queen.
To my enemies, she’s my Achilles heel—a perfect pawn.
Without her, I am a wounded warrior.
A ruthless, relentless beast.
There is nowhere she can be taken that I won’t find her.
No adversary I won’t crush to get her back.
Even if I have to burn this city to the ground.


Excerpt:

My heartbeat is an erratic, distracting pitter-patter against my ribs as I take in the stark beauty of the man standing in front of me. He looks like the same man I ran from. Almost.

The same rich black hair and inky eyelashes. The same strong, shadowed jawline and high, elegant cheekbones. The same spark of intensity lighting up those dark, dark eyes.
But now there are smudges beneath them. And faint horizontal lines, like the silvery remnants of a shattered spider web, crossing his forehead.
Damon is glaring at me like an adversary he’s torn between spanking or fucking. There is yearning in his gaze, a faint glimmer of tenderness beneath his infuriated expression.
I like it. A lot.
The panic and fear and pure terror that filled my veins just a few hours ago hasn’t yet evaporated. Those intense emotions are still there, like toxins that have yet to be flushed from my system. I don’t want to be treated with kid gloves. Not by Damon King.
I need his intensity now more than ever. I am desperate to revel in the raging storm Damon and I create when we’re together. The kind of storm that deserves a name. Deserves to be written in history books for its power . . . and for the toll of its destruction.
I want the shocking illumination of lightning. The ominous energy of thunder.
I want to give and take.
Clash and break.
Writhe and shake.
“Damon.” I say his name like a warning. I need the savage who claimed me as his own. My savage king.
He presses a firm kiss to my forehead, his fingers lightly pushing into the hair at the base of my scalp. “Tell me this,” he says. “Is there any hurt I can’t kiss better?”
The throaty rumble of Damon’s voice is like a liberal pour of molasses on my frayed nerves. “No.” My nose is flush with his chest and I breath deep that scent I didn’t think I would ever smell again. Wood and whiskey and raw masculinity. So damn intoxicating.
He sweeps his tongue along the rim of my ear. “Is there any hurt I can’t lick better?”
The tension in my shoulders eases as I flatten my palms against his chest. “No.”
Damon lifts my chin, our eyes locking on each other. “Is there any hurt I can’t fuck better?”
My cheeks warm as I draw my lower lip between my teeth. Then I shake my head slowly, “No.”
He smiles that darkly seductive grin and my stomach flips. “Let’s go take a shower.”
I nod my head eagerly. A long hot shower sounds perfect. A long hot shower—with my savage king—sounds downright exquisite. By the time the water is running, my borrowed bathrobe is just a white smudge of bad memory strewn across the tile floor.
Damon begins unbuttoning his shirt and I eagerly reach for his belt. When he is as naked as I am, he cups my chin between his thumb and forefingers and tips it upward. His kiss is hard but not punishing. The perfect amount of pressure.
I moan low in my throat.
He growls in return. And when we pull apart, we are wearing matching lust-drunk grins.
“Do you trust me?” he asks.
“I thought you said I shouldn’t trust anyone who has to ask.”
“I’m asking now.”
The truth falls from my lips. “With my life.”
