The Rise of Saint

Sins of Saint Trilogy, Book 1

By: Bella J

Narrated by: Michael Pierce, Charlotte Claremont

When my kidnapper–the most powerful man in Italy–makes me an offer to be his wife, I'm forced to accept.

Mila

He's a killer. A monster. A thief. He stole me; ripped me from a life I thought was mine, and forced me into his. There was no negotiating. No choice to be made. No way out.

He says once I give him what he wants, he'll let me go. But I don't believe him. Taunting me, humiliating me, hunting me...it thrills him. He's addicted to my tears, and amused by my suffering. I know he won't stop until he breaks me.

But I won't go down without a fight.

Saint

She's an orphan. A debt. A secret. They tried to hide her from me, but they underestimated my determination to always get what's rightfully mine.

Now, she's exactly where she's meant to be: at my side...and at my mercy.

The blood that runs through her veins is payment for a debt made between two families. But to me she's nothing but a pretty face and a means to an end. A way for me to feed my vengeance.

Once she gives me what I want I'll let her go back to her miserable, mundane life. But for now, she's mine to play with...until she breaks.

The Sins of Saint is a dark romantic suspense series intended for mature listeners.

Good story

Had a good story but will need to be continued in book 2. The narrator’s were good too

Great story

FMC navigates through a life of abandonment, poverty, survival, and sexual abuse to end up in the hands of another abuser who is justified by his “ handsome” features. Her survival takes the form of submission due to the heat between her legs. MMC is a jerk, abusive…you tell. Narrators did an outstanding performance.

Is there a story somewhere with a strong FMC in control of her emotions and able to stop an abusive man?

Chef’s Kiss

Bellissimo . Bellissimo. Bellissimo. The story held intrigue , venom and bite ! The characters formed perfectly in my mind’s eye .

The performance was breathtaking. Charlotte Claremont always delivers. She has a way of bringing any and everything to life and so does Michael Pierce .

Ruthless revenge

Something more is going on here, other than an 80 year old agreement. Onto part 2
Narrators did a great job. Charlotte Claremont could read the book all on her own as I love listening to her. Her male voice is spot on, accents amazing. Will be looking for more books narrated by her.

Holy run around

The first 9 chapters were like “why did you take me?” “Who are you to me?” Then “tell me” over and over. The MMC was hyper aggressive. Scolding her for asking him, saying she was being disrespectful. By the end of the book I knew exactly the same as I did at the beginning, the whole thing was subterfuge. If they’d have tied up ONE of the plot points I’d be scrambling to listen to book 2. The saving grace was the female narrator. I will listen to anything she narrates. The male narrator sounded like one of the Mario brothers. Bummer. This trope is normally my jam.
