The final version is really good! I'm revising past reviews.
I was sent an incorrect version, but then I bought the book and saw that everything had been edited well. So, nothing stands in the way of the story. I'm giving it another chance!

I don't like writing bad reviews like this, but I can't help it here. The story probably wouldn't be bad at all, but someone needs to look over the sentences and chapters and at least put the words into proper terms.
This made it difficult to immerse myself in the story. I've read a lot of very good BDSM stories and books, but unfortunately this wasn't one of them.
About the content: It all happened much too quickly for me, and as a sub you don't just give trust because a Mistress you've just met demands it. It's a matter of time and careful conversations. I missed that here.
The rest might be a good addition to the story with the sister, etc., but I just didn't get a chance to really develop an interest in the characters, let alone enjoy the hot scenes.
It wasn't my thing, but that's just my opinion.
Thanks for the Arc, unfortunately this is my review.

🥵🥵

I was worried at the start that there wouldn’t be a plot and it would just be pure spicy but I was so wrong.

The plot twists were great although unrealistic in regard to timeline but I didn’t expect the book to be

Overall a great book, I’d like to see a second with abi’s POV afterwards.

This was a tough read for me because of the writing style. Also, PLEASE can we have more diversity in sapphic romances?

In Her Sanctum is an intense, emotionally layered exploration of power, vulnerability, and the freedom that can come from surrendering control. Elise’s transformation from quiet, overworked office drone to someone willing to face her desires head-on is both gripping and deeply human. What really stood out to me was how the author didn’t just make this a steamy romance—there’s real heart, growth, and a touch of chaos (thanks, Abi) that kept me fully hooked. I enjoyed reading it because it was bold, raw, and unexpectedly empowering.

HOT. DAMN. This book had me kicking my feet and clutching my pearls at the same time! 😳🔥 Elise goes from corporate zombie to spicy queen-in-training real fast, and Sierra? Sierra could boss me around anytime. The chemistry? Nuclear. The drama? Juicy. The vibes? Immaculate. If you're craving a sapphic slow-burn that’s messy, fierce, and downright delicious—this is IT. Read it, blush a little, and thank me later. 💅🏽💘🖤
