ARC REVIEW: Bad Saint By Monica James
Synopsis:
I was kidnapped on my honeymoon by three masked men.
Blindfolded.
Bound.
Destination unknown.
I was told to stay silent and abide by their rules. But they didn’t realize I wasn’t a victim…not anymore.
The open sea was my backdrop for nine torturous days. During that time, glimmers of my fate were revealed by a man with the mysterious chartreuse-colored eyes. He should have scared me, but he didn’t.
He intrigued me. And I intrigued him.
He punished me when I didn’t listen, which was every single day. But beneath his cruelty, I sensed he was guarding a grave secret.
I was sold.
And in a game of poker, no less.
My buyer? A Russian mobster who likes to collect pretty things. Now that I know the truth, I only have one choice.
Sink or swim.
And when one fateful night presents me the opportunity, I take it. I just never anticipated my actions would leave me shipwrecked with my kidnapper.
He needs me alive. I want him dead.
But as days turn into weeks, one thing becomes clear—I should hate him…but I don’t.
My name is Willow.
His name is Saint.
Ironic, isn’t it? He bears a name that denotes nothing but holiness yet delivers nothing but hell. However, if this is hell on earth…God, save my soul.

Review:
What, the hell!? Oh, my gosh. This book just blew my freaking mind. It was absolutely not what I was expecting at all and I absolutely loved it.
This was my first read from Monica James, and let me tell you, it absolutely will not be my last.
This book is just insane, in such a good way. It keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Wanting to know what happens next, yet also scared to find out.
There are so many twists and turns in this book. It hooks you right in from the beginning, which I absolutely love, the action starts right off the bat and doesn't stop through the whole book.
I could not put this book down to save my life!
Holy crap, Willow is such a strong character. Her strength really shines through in this book. All of the thing's she endures, and somehow still stays strong through it all, is amazing.
I truly didn't think I could like Saint. He had me wanting to throw my kindle at times, and that thing is precious to me, but by the end of the book she had me loving him. He is such a deeply flawed man, but you just cant help but to love him. I get Willow in that aspect.
The thing's that happen in this book are terrifyingly real, and through it all Willow doesn't give up. She has her weak moments, as anyone would in that situation, but she never stops fighting.
"He's leading a lamb to the slaughter, but the one thing he doesn't realize...is that I'm not a lamb. And I never will be."
I absolutely devoured this book and after that freaking ending I cant wait to be able to dive into book two! I am so beyond ready.
Absolutely do yourself a favor and pick this one up!
