Not all wounds are visible.
Skanian investigator Bengt fell in love with fellow policeman Alex Rukow in a week. But that was a year ago, and they’ve been apart ever since. Then Alex escapes the corrupt and destitute island nation of Santuario and comes to live with Bengt. Happy ever after . . .?
Alex’s lifelong dream of leaving Santuario has come true at last. But he finds himself adrift in a society he doesn’t understand. Worse, past nightmares come back to haunt him, and after so many years of suspicion and self-reliance, it’s harder than he imagined to trust someone else.
Bengt just wants Alex to share his comfortable life. But the more he tries to give, the more Alex pulls away. Their physical connection couldn’t be better, but Bengt can’t seem to get through to his difficult, taciturn lover outside the bedroom. Meanwhile, he has his own demons to confront—not to mention a serial killer on the loose.
Bengt and Alex must dig deep for the courage to face their pasts, but it may be too late to save their relationship or their lives.

Review
Bengt and Alex were the imperfect-perfect couple; complimenting each other's strengths and weaknesses realistically-- not a fairy tale.
I can only hope G. B. Gordon takes us more into this beautifully written world.

About the Author
G.B.Gordon worked as a packer, landscaper, waiter, and coach before going back to school to major in linguistics and, at 35, switch to less backbreaking monetary pursuits like translating, editing, and writing.
Having lived in various parts of the world, Gordon is now happily ensconced in suburban Ontario with the best of all husbands. Santuario is G.B. Gordon's first published work, but many more stories are just waiting to hit the keyboard.

A Gillion Stars!
By J.R.W.
Alex has immigrated from Santuario to be with Bengt. Alex is a stranger in a strange land. The strain of that, coupled with the year he spent running and hiding to stay alive, has left him defensive, and apprehensive about his new life. Their two lives have been so different, but there is a bond that neither can deny. Bengt's desire to protect Alex, and the PTSD that Alex suffers from lead them to constant misunderstandings and arguments. Neither thought that being together would be this hard. Sex for Bengt and Alex is powerful. It is, unfortunately, the only thing they can both relate to at this point. The journey that Alex and Bengt take to work out their problems was as hard on me as it was on them. It's a journey I would make again and again.
My only complaint is there was not a wonderful, sensual dance scene like in the first book.
The first book, Santuario is one of my all time favorite books. Waiting for the second book, nearly drove me crazy. It was worth the wait. Winter is keeping Santuario company on that list.

A great sequel! Better than the first book...
By V. Rundell of V's Reads
This is the second book in a series, and it is best to read them in order.
Alex is a Santuarian, and a refugee to Jarvegur where he reunites with Bengt a Skanian cop. Alex and Bengt spent one tense week working on a murder investigation a year ago, where Alex finally acknowledged his attraction to Bengt on their last night together. In Skanian society (Bengt's worlds) there is no stigma associated with same-sex couples, but in Santuario, the island of Alex's birth and where he lived his first 30 years, being gay was forbidden and likely lethal.
In Jarvegor, however, Bengt is anxious to bring Alex into his life in every way possible. Neither Bengt nor Alex truly understands how to live as a couple, however. Alex had had a REALLY hard life, his mother and stepfather were murdered when he was young and he was repeatedly beaten by his biological dad. So, he grew up knowing he had to make his own way, take care of his own needs, and he is ill accustomed to anyone caring for him. He's frustrated that assimilation into Skanian society takes so long, and he has no means to find a job without his "green card" being processed, so Bengt is providing for all his physical needs--real and assumed. Plus, one of Bengt's acquaintances makes it clear that, if Alex ever tired of Bengt, he'd gratefully pay Alex's way in exchange for his sexual services, leaving proud, smart Alex feeling like a prostitute.
Bengt, for his part, is overjoyed to have Alex in his life. He stops working long hours, anxious to come home to his man. They seem to build a rapport, but Bengt can feel that Alex is holding back. He knows he should tread lightly, but he can't seem to--he's head-over-heels.
Alex is admitted to the police training school, and must move out to the dorms, where he begins to make friends outside of Bengt's sphere. Returning home on weekends is harder than Alex imagined--he feels like such a freeloader, and so ashamed, but he can't reveal his vulnerability because with that comes all Alex's other self-esteem issues. He still can't imagine what beautiful, esteemed, successful, wealthy Bengt finds appealing in a destitute refugee, and there is some self sabotage, as well as general misunderstanding that leads to a break up.
Still, Alex's training at the academy digs up a cold case that is similar to an active one which has Bengt stymied. Their meetings, to discuss leads and follow up, are difficult. Bengt wants to reconnect, and Alex is afraid to rely on Bengt. There is a lot of separation and soul-searching (on both parts) as the case unwinds. Alex hits rock bottom, and reaches out (FINALLY!) for the help he needs. He finds the purpose that has been missing from his life, and begins to feel worthy of love, and Bengt.
The writing here is really superb. The sense of disconnection of an immigrant, and a refugee, is deftly written. I think may would expect Alex to joyfully embrace his good turn in life, but that's not always possible when life has been SO difficult. One can't just jettison a lifetime of behaviors and experiences of scraping and bowing and barely surviving, it's practically PTSD, and Alex needs (and gets) the professional help to survive in this new and shiny life.
I think the mystery was well drawn and the book had a lot more going on that a romance, though it was there. I really feel connected to Bengt and Alex after this book, and hope that the planned sequels come to pass.
I received a review copy of this book via NetGalley.

Book Review by Beverley

Skanian, Bengt and Santuario born and bred, Alex fell in love in book 1 of this series, which sadly I had not read when I picked up this book to review. As you can see from my rating this did not stop me thoroughly enjoying this second book in the Sanctuario Series, so I would say it can be read as a standalone. However, I was a little confused about the ‘world’ they lived in because I had not read #1. When I mentally caught up, I realised what a wonderful piece of creative world building G.B. Gordon had achieved.
I was confused because the Skanian part of the world is so close to an accurate Scandinavian setting. The literal polar opposite of this place is the one Alex hails from. A hot, latinesque reality very similar to a South American country, indeed there is a place called El Sanctuario, in Colombia I think. So for a while I thought we were talking future Earth. To be honest I won’t know all the details till I go back to read book 1, which I shall probably do after writing this review.
I loved this book, the characters were three dimensional, flawed and realistic. This applies to the entertaining secondary characters, as much as the main protagonists. The story was lush in its description of the snowy world this exotic, hot, emigre had found himself. We are presented with a heartbreaking picture of very new lovers who have been separated then finally reunited, but finding it difficult to settle into a new life together. Alex is not only an emigre, but also suffering from some kind of PTSD making his acclimatisation all the more difficult.
Bengt, an investigator, wants to protect and lavish gifts on Alex… Alex wants to make his own way, learn about his new life whilst being plagued with the memories and horrors of his previous one, which he’s unable to share. In tandem to their relationship trials, the author weaves in a difficult case of child murders. The case is awash with bureaucratic difficulties and Bengt’s superior who is wishing for a quiet life leading up to his retirement.
This is a really enjoyable and fulfilling read… interesting characters, satisfying and believable plot rife with small intricate details that make the world different to our own, but totally recognisable. It left me with a book hangover, so I’ve just downloaded #1 in the series…my highest recommendation.
