I don’t care what anyone says, Safe is the NEW SEXY …
This is a second chance romance of two people who married the wrong people, got divorced and found each other again.
Our FMC, Doe is divorced from an extremely abusive, narcissistic, cheating man who decided if he can’t have her no one will. He stalked her, tried to unalive her, and made her life hell. After surviving a house fire that her crazy ex-husband started, Doe wakes up in the hospital to find out the man who saved her life is none other than the guy who got away 13 years ago. Asylum!
Asylum, our knight in shining armor, is an ex-cop whose wife disappeared and left him with their daughter. He owns several safe houses around the city and is known for helping those in need of protection. Still in love with Doe, and being the true alpha male that he is, he went through extreme measures to keep her safe. He was her protector; she was his stabilizer! This book showed if you let true love go, it’ll always come back.
Not over here though… (Stay yo ass where you at)

Asylum is raising his stepdaughter and providing security and shelter for others when his wife in name only disappears. But he barely has time to process that when he hears that his first love is in trouble. He runs to the rescue, just in time to save Dauterive's life. The love is still there, but with her fresh out of a bad marriage and his wife in the wind, can they really make it work again?
Okay, so I think this author shine brightest when she writes a straight up love story, with the relationship twists and turns we love. This was a wonderful story. I love to see first loves get a second chance and it was refreshing to see both Doe and Sy take accountability and own their dormant feelings for one another. The way they moved into family mode was lovely and Asylum's honesty with True was admirable. I love the way he took care of her, fought for her, stood in front of her. He battled the monsters gladly, for Doe and True and it made him sexier. Dauterive's fight and courage set a great undertone for the book; she was able to support Asylum the way he did her, and that balanced their relationship. Supporting cast was great. I loved it.
