Branded Sanctuary (Nature of Desire #7)
Chloe has always been a creature of joy and laughter. Since a brutal attack nearly a year ago, the trauma she experienced has gotten worse. She has started hiding from her life, even putting up walls between herself and those she cares about most. During a panic attack one night, she impulsively calls a number that she’s had for many months. Chloe met Brendan at her boss’s wedding. With confidence and seduction, he easily steps into the role of helping her manage her fear. By the end of the long call, they’ve indulged in some serious flirtation and mind-blowing phone sex—and she’s feeling things she’s buried for too long.
The problem is that Brendan is the perfect male submissive—and Chloe isn’t wired for the D/s lifestyle. While their attraction is undeniable, Chloe doesn’t know if she can be everything Brendan needs. As a submissive, Brendan would never ask her to be something she’s not—even if it will break both of their hearts to turn away from how they feel about each other.
Reader Advisory: Contains very light female/female sensuality and a brief ménage encounter.

This series continues to break my heart and show the beauty of true love. Joey's haiku is beautiful:He enclosed her soleA substitute for her soulSince her soul fears himThe fierceness that these characters' love ...

I have to be honest and share with you that I'm enamored with the writing style of Joey Hill. It was this series that first hooked me into exploring the world of romantic erotica. I have enjoyed every book in the series and would encourage you to read them, or at least Ice Queen to get a feel for Brandan's story.What I love about this story, and indeed all of Ms Hill's stories, is the portrayal of her characters, in the fact she writes and avoids cliches with great sensitivity and compassion.
Joey is the master of expression. This story is the perfect expression of the stages one goes through when their life has been destroyed and what the journey back to wholeness may feel like. Although the storyline may be unconventional the emotions are powerful and authentic.Ms Hill paces the story slowly giving lots of detail that conveys the carefully controlled emotions that want to be revealed. Chloe and Brendan are sparking the sexual and emotional tension which lead up to one hell of a hot
If you could give 1/2 stars this would be a 3.5 for me. I really wanted to like this book, but after reading Ice Queen, Mirror of my Soul, and Rough Canvas which were to me mind-blowingly good, this was just meh for me. There were a couple things that bothered me - Ok Chloe went through some scary stuff but I'm not sure it warranted the type of spiral into total darkness she was in. It's not a fair comparison - but - compared to Marguerite's reason's for her darkness, Chloe's sudden turn from

As the seventh and last book in the Nature of Desire series, this is a more psychological than physical portrayal of BDSM, and no one tackles the emotion behind it better than Joey Hill. The story does a brilliant job at expressing the multiple facets and complexity of the lifestyle, as misunderstood as it is. Ms. Hill says it best in this book: A million people mean a million different religions. The H/h romance is sweeter than her usual style, and I especially enjoyed the connection to the4.5 hot branded stars "There's this theory, that when two people focus on the rhythm of their hearts, it synchronizes them.
