Publisher's summary

A cozy lesbian palace romance about a desperate werewolf who falls into the hands of a powerful faerie queen.

Sierra Chelsi is on the run from a sheriff and his deputies after murdering her abusive father. Stumbling through the woods of Northern Maine, the young werewolf falls into a shady grove and comes face-to-face with a dark monarch of Faerie. The Raven Queen Varella takes an unusual interest in the desperate shifter and offers her a seemingly simple bargain.

If the werewolf will agree to become Varella's new pet, then she'll be offered sanctuary in the land of Faerie, far beyond the reach of mortal law.

Although she knows better than to bargain with fae, Sierra finds it difficult to think straight in the presence of such otherworldly beauty. And when Varella lightly strokes Sierra's cheek, the werewolf finds herself powerless to do anything other than swoon.

With law enforcement hot on her trail, Sierra agrees to become the queen's pet. When she awakens in her new home, Sierra discovers a surprisingly cozy life waiting for her in the palace. And while the Raven Court is full of magic and danger, the werewolf's biggest challenge might just be surviving endless amounts of teasing and pampering from her new mistress.

While most tales warn about the danger of mortals striking bargains with fae, Sierra begins to wonder if this was the best decision of her life. Maybe, just this once, she'll find herself in a safe home with more love than she could ever wish for.

A Bargain for Sanctuary is a cozy Sapphic fantasy about a submissive werewolf and her mistress, the powerful Faerie Queen. It's full of wish fulfillment and fluff, perfect for a leisurely listen.

Enjoyable, excited for the next book

found myself laughing out loud, giggling & kicking my feet around out of excitement for the MC. It was a nice book to listen to & it had some great references to other real life things I didn't quite expect but were great in the moments they were mentioned, I burned through this one fast.

trust and love

Great feel good book, listened on a day I needed hear of love and trust. being touch starved is very relatable.

Cute little story

I thought this was a cute little story. No gays were killed. I am glad I didn’t pay full price though. I’d rate this a 3/5 because of the amount of “my pet”s used took me out of the story. The supposed build up to “begging for spicy time” was let down (even if it is in book 2).
Quick Look: little spice, no gays die, poly relationship, and violence mentioned.

Not Your Typical Werewolf Story

I LOVE paranormal romance / fiction. This is one of the best I have ever read in this genre. I love the characters, and the unique relationship between the Raven Queen and her pet and her wing (lily). She pulled it together in a cute way without making it sound creepy or like a harem novel. I really, really, really hope she makes this into a series, i would most definitely read and collect it.

FYI there are some references to domestic violence in the story. Not a lot, but she references it here and there when Sierra talks about her past.
If this is a trigger, be aware of this before reading / listening to this book.

I finished it in one sitting, I just couldn’t put it down. It was cute and funny.
I was laughing so much, it had my sides aching 😁😁😁😁

This was everything I love in a book

I love darker fantasy, but I am 100% a believer in happily ever after being the best ending. Unfortunately for me, fantasy that deals with topics such as killing and trauma tend to be somewhat depressing. My favorite thing about this book is that it has the main character take leaps of faith and everything turns out even better than could have been hoped.

ps: I will be impatiently waiting for the next book.

Good listen

I enjoyed listening to this book. I like the different layers of the characters coming out…can’t wait for the next book to be on audible!!!

love it

i loved it totally a must listen can't wait for the second book already

Beautiful story

Amazing and magical. Shows how true love without ego can be. Some great steamy parts too and not overly done like other werewolf books!

Fine listen

I was given this book for free, and enjoyed the listen.
I do think the narration could have been better, but all in all a fine listen
