Saint

A Dark Romance (Saint and Sinners, Book 1)

By: Ruby Vincent

Narrated by: Addison Barnes

It’s a common story. I’m sure you can guess how it goes.

Girl winds up in the wrong place at the wrong time.

She witnesses four gods of beauty and brutality murder some poor sap, and she’s stupid enough to get caught.

Come on. You know what happens next.

You know they tracked her...me...down.

I don’t need to tell you that they claimed me. Ripped me from my safe, perfect world and bound me in chains to their throne.

All of that is obvious.

It’s the part where they corrupted me, dragged me into their world of death and destruction, made me theirs in every way I didn’t know was possible, and I became a soldier in a war that will bring all of Cinco City to its knees...that’s when it gets interesting.

Saint is a dark contemporary reverse harem romance. This is Book One in the serie, and features language, dark themes, and sexual scenes. If you're cool with that, dive in!

Five stars! SAINT is perfection!

The narrator did well and made me fall in love with this series more! There are times though when it was a bit awkward hearing a female voice narrate Sinjin's point of view during a steamy scene. The narrator's voice was the perfect voice for the FMC in this book. I felt like the FMC was beside me in reality and was personally telling me her story. That was how real it felt! Everytime I do a reread or in this case, listen to the audio book for the series, it never fails to keep me at the edge of my seat. Despite knowing all the twists and turns, listening to this helped me took note of some of the phrases or descriptions I've missed when I read the book. I highly recommend everyone, especially those who prefer to listen while doing work or other activities, to give this well-executed audio book a try.

Wow!

The beginning is weird but just wait for it. Wow to this ending…did not see this coming! So excited to read the next or listen!

So Good

This story is dark and twisty, and while being why choose, I love how it's done differently. This is a story of boy and his bunny...eh maybe not quite that sweet. Poor, sweet, caring Addy is in the wrong place at the wrong time and she meets some of Cinco City's scariest, bad boys. (Saint is pretty special, even his hair is fabulous.) Things start to blur from there, if you want all the steam and thrills..with some dirty and twisted thrown in, then this book is your cup of tea. Addison Barnes does a wonderful job, and I would listen more books narrated by her.

Crazy

I loved this book it made me laugh and feel really empowered. It has an amazing plot twist and I can’t wait to listen to the rest.

WOW!! Absolutely loved this book!!

I thought this story started off a little confusing but hang in there, it gets so freaking good!
It’s full of action, suspense, lies, secrets, steam and so much more!
This was my first book by this author and I’m addicted!!

Good

I like the book. Love the twist at the end. I just wish there would’ve been a dual narration. The narrator wasn’t bad but it was hard to tell whether she was the female character or the male character.

Wow!

I will start off by saying the first chapter is confusing. Hang in there, Chapter 2 on isn't confusing. I can usually see how a book will end. You will NOT figure this one out! Great start to this series. I can't wait to jump into the others

Whaaaattt loved it

Definitely not what I was expecting & different than anything I've seen from Ruby Vincent before. I was a little iffy at first but man what a ride Saint takes you on. When sweet Adeline hears & sees something she's not supposed to because she's at the wrong place at the wrong time, the Merchants don't hestiate to let it be known what they expect out of her. Somewhere along the way, Saint sees her for who she can truly be and is determined to make her his. While she puts up a fight, the chemistry is like no other - well.... except the 3 othet Merchants that she now lives with. Cash, Brutal, Mercer seem to have an interest in her too and after that cliffhanger I can't wait to read Cash next!

So So Amazing

I absolutely love the narration of Saint done by Addison Barnes! she did an incredible job of bringing the characters to life!

Not great

1.) The concept of the FMC getting mixed up with gangsters was just weirdly executed. She's just "oh so strong", until they leave her starving for days, then magically, all of a sudden that gives her a reason to want to kiss one of them!!!!! She keeps contradicting herself like this throughout the book which is just so weirdly odd.

2.) The confusing narration was annoying. This book was all kinds of not right for a woman doing all the narration. I kept asking myself is this person supposed to be a man/woman????

3.) I didn't like the whole spanking into submission thing all of a sudden. Really? Eye roll. That trope is so overdone and lazy in my opinion.

4.) Too fast burn with borderline boring intimacy to Love. I actually opted to fast forward the unfeeling sexy times, which is out of character for me (I'm a dirty girl)

Overall, not my favorite read. Just a bit below okay to me. FMC, the narration and the story itself is just too cringey and a real unbelievable RH, so I don't really recommend it. In fact, I think I'll just stay clear of this author.
