Lala’s Book Corner: Sanctuary’s Price (Sanctuary, #3) by Moira Rogers

“He’s only been surviving. Her magic can show him how to live.
After a decade under a corrupt alpha’s thumb, Dylan Gennaro is still reeling from the changes in his life: a new home, a new alpha, a pack at war. Even normal things like an ending relationship. Still, when he’s asked to work with an outcast witch, he agrees without hesitation. Maybe by protecting her, he’ll rediscover his own inner strength. If, indeed, it exists.
Sasha Wallace lost her mentor in a vicious attack that left her scarred in spirit as well as body. While she’s grateful for the refuge offered by the Red Rock alpha, it’s tough living with the pack’s suspicion. Even though—or maybe because—she’s willing to use her powers to help them fight their war. Except for Dylan. When she’s finally free to find a new home, he’ll be the only one she regrets leaving behind.
Their attraction is a balm to their wounded hearts, until their journey for knowledge brings them face to face with a terrifying vampire. Neither has the strength for this fight—but if they can let go of their pasts and trust each other, they might just be able to do it. Together.
Warning: Contains dangerous magical binding spells, a flannel-wearing vampire lumberjack, paranormal road-trip hijinks and a quietly brilliant werewolf willing to defy his society and his past to protect the witch he loves.”

I got both this and the first two stories in this series at the same time and I have to say I devoured them all in much less than two days. I loved the world Moira Rogers’s created and I couldn’t help wanting more and more of it!

The modern world and society are hell on werewolf traditions and the packs living in big cities have been corrupted into something more akin to a dictatorship.

Red Rock is home of one of the few packs in the world where the old laws and traditions are still appreciated and is also considered sanctuary to those who need to escape the cruel life among the distorted packs.

In Sanctuary’s Price we get to se the love story between the werewolf Dylan and the witch Sasha. A Romeo & Juliet sort of story, since werewolves and witches have been at war for centuries and the prejudice against each other runs quite deep.

I love me some Alpha males, that is no secret, but what I really loved about this story was that Dylan wasn’t really an Alpha male, he is more on the fringe of the pack’s dynamic and even considered a weaker wolf. It was great to see that just because he isn’t an Alpha, is doesn’t mean he isn’t strong and able to defend those he love and care about.

Sasha is terrified, all the time, ever since her mentor was killed and she has had to hide amongst the werewolves, most of which hate her for being a witch. Just like Dylan, I loved seeing her prove to be much more than what people’s perception of her.

Dylan and Sasha are so perfect for each other and it’s impossible not to pull for them from page one. I also love that even though the romance was definitely at the forefront of the novel, there was so much more going on plot wise, that you couldn’t help but getting engaged in the action and the stakes in play.

Ever since I read Moira Rogers’s South Arcana series I’ve been a fan, The Red Rock Pass series just cements my love for this great duo of authors. Rogers is an automatic buy for me now! If you love PNR just as much as I do, check out this series!

Lala’s Book Corner: ARC - Sanctuary (Red Rock Pass #1 & #2) by Moira Rogers

Cry Sanctuary
Keith Winston has come home to Montana to find peace. Instead, the veteran warrior finds himself fighting pressure to become the alpha's right hand. His attraction to a new wolf on the run sucks him into yet another battle between his instincts and his heart.
Abigail Adler knew nothing about werewolves--until she became one. Red Rock is her only refuge, but she chafes under its rigid rules. Except when it comes to submitting to the passion Keith stirs in her body. With her sister in danger, though, they will both have to risk breaking all the rules.
Sanctuary Lost
Brynn Adler hates feeling helpless and vulnerable. But that's right where she is...in a world of werewolves. Worse, her sister Abigail is one of them. The pack wants to send her packing, yet she's unwilling to leave--her sister, or the one man who makes her forget her life is falling apart.
Joe Mitchell knew getting involved with Brynn was a bad idea. A supernatural war is no place for a human, and he's not about to let her make a decision that will bring pain and regret. Now all he has to do is let her go.”

It’s a well known fact that i have a penchant for alpha males, specially the shape shifting type. So, Moira Rogers’s Red Rock Pass series is right up my alley and I have to say I loved it.

Sanctuary is actually two stories in one book. Cry Sanctuary and Sanctuary Lost both came out before in ebook version and now they have been put together and are coming out in one print volume.

The modern world and society are hell on werewolf traditions and the packs living in big cities have been corrupted into something more akin to a dictatorship.

Red Rock is home of one of the few packs in the world where the old laws and traditions are still appreciated and is also considered sanctuary to those who need to escape the cruel life among the distorted packs.

In Cry Sanctuary we get to know new werewolf Abby, ho is running from an alpha obsessed with making her his bitch in every sense of the word. Her best friend, Dylan, is a lower ranked wolf, but he can’t stand to see her suffer as such so he breaks her out and they both run to Red Rock.

Keith just came back from fighting in the war between wizards and werewolves in Europe. He is an enforcer for the alpha and his newest responsibility is bringing Abby and Dylan to red Rock safely.

Abby and Keith’s connection is undeniable and sets the book pages on fire. Their road to a HEA is not easy in the slightest, specially when the crazy alpha who is hunting Abby, kidnaps her sister and uses her as leverage to get what he wants.

Sanctuary Lost is the story of Abby’s sister Brynn and Keith’s friend and fellow enforcer, Joe. By saving Brynn, Joe has forged a connection that he is not sure he is ready to face. Brynn is human and stuck in midst a brewing war, she has a decision to make, stay human and weak among werewolves or become one of them.

Both stories are strong and action packed. There is a lot of smexing for sure , but the balance between plot and the sex is extremely well done and satisfying. I loved this book and I just can’t wait for more Red Rock Pass books.

If you are into Paranormal Romance, this is definitely a series you should look into to, great story, interesting plot, a lot of action in and out of bed and hot and sexy werewolves, what more can you ask for?

“Jackson Holt makes a decent living as a private investigator in New Orleans, home of one of the largest underground supernatural populations in the United States. He and his partners have never met a case they couldn't crack...until a local bar owner asks him to do a little digging on her newest hire.
New Orleans is the fourth destination in as many months for Mackenzie Brooks, a woman on the run from a deranged stalker. After all, any man who shows up on her doorstep claiming to be her destined lover has more than a few screws loose. But crazy doesn't explain why he always finds her no matter how far she runs.
When her well-meaning boss puts a PI on her case, Mackenzie comes face to face with the incredible truth: magic is real, and whatever spell has kept her hidden and separate from the paranormal world is rapidly deteriorating.
With time running out, she has no choice but to trust Jackson as he struggles to uncover the truth of her past-and her destiny.”

I had heard a lot about this series and author on twitter and I just to check it out. I am so glad I did. The Southern Arcana series has become entered my radar and are simply an automatic buy for me right now. She is on the run from a man that claims that they are meant to be together. He is also a shifter and they are supposed to be destined for each other and save their race from extinction.

Mackenzie is a shifter that doesn’t know she is a shifter. She has all this power within her that she has no access to because she has been closed out from it as an infant.

Jackson is a PI and his best friend is a wolf shifter. When she asks him to investigate her newest bartender, Mackenzie, because she thinks there is something wrong with her, Jackson gets int the ride of his life.

I loved this book. It was such an easy read and so cool. Mackenzie is a very complex character and it was really awesome to get to know her and see her grow and change so much throughout the novel.

Jackson is HOT and a great leading man. Very determined, strong and protective, he and Mack make a great couple and their love was something you just have to get behind, its unavoidable.

The romance in Crux is sizzling, but it does not take away the merit of the plot. A terrible villain and great action make up up for a thrilling and sexy ride that you just cannot put down.

If you are into Paranormal Romance, I absolutely recommend this book to you! You won’t regret it!
