Bad Saint

Willow had a tough upbringing, but shes met and married the man of her dreams. They are just beginning their honeymoon when the unthinkable happens. She is kidnapped. In comes Saint, one of her captors. She shouldnt be attracted to him, and she shouldnt feel the way she feels when he punishes her, but sometimes feelings dont make sense. Saint was your typical guy, until his life got tangled up with that of a Russian mobster. He shouldnt think about Willow as anymore than a job, but as the two are fighting, they are also falling. Saint is trying to break her, but Willow is done being the victim. When everything comes to a boiling point, can the two get what they want without someone dying? This is a dark romance with suspense and twists that will leaving you begging for more. This is my first-time reading Monica James; this book, I honestly dont think I have enough words to describe how crazy good it is. It does leave you hanging at the end, which stinks, but that just makes me that much more excited for the next book to release. Monica took a book that has some pretty terrible things that happen and made it a book that I couldnt put down. Even though there were some disturbing scenes, she writes them in such a way, that you cant help but need to keep reading to find out what is going to happen next. This book is dark but also romantic and is jam packed with emotion. Trust me, this is a book that isnt for the faint of heart, but if you read it you wont be disappointed! I am so ready for book 2!

I can sum this book up for you in a few sentences. A kidnapped virgin fighting off several men who attempt to rape her. The whole book is her being beaten and fighting off rape. Why would anyone find this sexy?

We all know Monica James can write contemporary and new adult romance, but she took a u-turn with Bad Saint. When I heard her next book was going to be somewhat \”dark\”, I was really intrigued. Monica has a way to melt my insides with all her hero. Even though Saint is Willows\’s captor, you fall for him. Stockholm syndrome here I come. (willingly) Those little snippet into Saints POV at the beginning of each chapter was not enough for me. I wanted so much more, but I think it was executed perfectly. You\’re given just a little morsel of goodness but not all of it. I felt like a kid in a candy store with only enough money for one piece of candy. You could feel it and taste it. All that goodness is right at your fingertips but you only get a taste and that\’s it. Oh how cruel Monica was to dangle that piece of candy right in front of our faces knowing we would want more. The undeniable connection between Willow and Saint was frustrating at times because they didn\’t give in to that attraction. They didn\’t let it take it\’s course. Walls were erected and feelings were pushed away. Nothing about the book seemed forced. Everything flowed seamlessly. Somehow I already knew this would end in a cliffhanger but I was SO excited to read this that I didn\’t care to be left hanging. BUT only because July is right around the corner. Hehehe. I\’m SO glad I don\’t have to wait for months and months to continue Willow and Saint\’s story. I can\’t wait to see where this journey takes them.

This one was soo good. A different style book from Monica but still the same amazing addictive writing. The excerpt had me wanting more and I couldn\’t wait to get my hands on this, I won\’t go on too much as I don\’t want to give anything away. This story from the beginning when your reading about Drew and Willow just going on their honeymoon and then the unthinkable happens, she\’s kidnapped and put on a boat. I love Willows strong character and her fight for her life and not to give up, these captives don\’t know that she has a lot more fight in her and that she\’s already been through so much in life to give up easily. The moment you meet Saint you hate that you like him. Your questioning why would he do this and there has to be some humanity left in him. The more you read the more your addicted to this story and wanting more and just when your sighing some relief there\’s more twists and turns. Then there\’s a cliff hanger ..argh,, but thankfully we don\’t have to wait long for book two..

Bad Saint by @authormonicajames Willow marries the handsome billionaire Drew and they set off to Greece for their honeymoon. Terrifyingly, Willow is kidnapped from their holiday terrace and taken to a boat to travel to her new \”owner\” – turns out she has been sold to the highest bidder. She is to submit to her captors, abide by their rules and obey. Little do they know that this Willow Shaw is not one to lay back and roll with the punches…she will swing a few of her own. In doing so, the consequences see that she ends up shipwrecked with the one captor that intrigued her with his green flecked eyes – eyes so deep it is hard to deny there is so much more to his intent. And Willow makes it her goal to find out what is hiding behind those eyes – regardless of the ramifications Monica James is new to me as an author and I really enjoyed the writing style. She is very unique and refreshing, with fantastic portrayal of both characters and events taking place. The plot was well thought out, deliciously dark and covered serious topics with many triggers for some readers. Very slow burn but with some steamy scenes, I have a feeling #2 will ramp up considering how well the scenes are written in this book. Looking forward to reading more from Monica!
