The Sins of Saint #1-3
Saint: The Rise of Saint / The Fall of Sin / The Sins of Saint
Saint
Orphan. Fighter. Secret.
That’s what she is. The woman I took. The woman they tried to hide from me but failed. Now she’s exactly where she’s meant to be. At my side. And at my mercy.
The blood that runs through her veins makes me her king. But to me she’s nothing but 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.
Mila
Secrets. Lies. Deception.
It’s all part of his vendetta, and so am I. He stole me, used me as one of his pawns by forcing me into a marriage I wanted no part of. I had to sign my name on the dotted line, and now he owns me…body, mind, and soul.
I had to escape the monster whose touch corrupted me. Break free from the man who seduced me, the beast who gave me a taste of the darkness. That's why I ran.
But he wants me back, and he won't stop until I'm back in his castle, on my knees and at his feet. My king. My husband. My nightmare.

3.5 Stars - Book One
1 Star - Book Two
DNF @ Chapter 4 - Book Three
Man, this started out so deliciously! I was starving and just ate it up like a buffet. And then book two happened..🤦🏻♀️
Why? Book two was essentially pointless and full of filler with predictable sex scenes, excessive detail about the expensive locations they visited, the clothes she wore and all while the heroine Mila began acting completely out of character in an attempt to be what? Bold, confident, strong? Honey child..no. No.
Saint was so angry and uptight that I desperately wanted him to unclench that booty, babe. Just relax for five minutes, kay? Like, wow. I love me a dominant antihero but the author went a bit over board. So much so that at times it felt tiresome and played out. Wash, rinse and repeat. Was that all his personality was? Sure felt like it. He had literally two moods, horny and pissed off and ready to kill someone or punish them sexually.
Mila on the other hand was amazing in those first few chapters of book one. I loved her reaction to seeing Brad murdered and bing kidnapped. It felt very organic and natural. The rapid fire of emotions from fear and anger to hate and defiance. It felt true to the Mila we had got to know briefly and the situation.
Particularly Mila crying every goddamn scene was pathetic. Specifically because after one particular scene where Saint humiliates her early in book one she has a complete break down. Just cracked right down the middle under the pressure of his casual cruelty. Which, hey. I understood and didn't blame her for...but then she remembers some little redheaded orphan girl who use to get so angry at herself for crying because she didn't want anyone else to have her tearsz that they were here. Well, Mila thinks ya know what? She's god a point and I'm gonna follow her lead. 😂🤣🥴😂🤣
Nah, that woman cried endlessly following that meaningless vow to herself. Literally all the damn time. I lost patience with her. I grew bored and exhausted by her endless crying. What a disappointment.
And then she went and began acting like every other lovestruck moron in thesr dominant antihero romances. Girl, you did not fall in love with Saint. Roll it back and examine your feels because ain't no way.
As interesting as this began, once book two began it fell right into the same category as other romances, dark or otherwise. It became predictable! The secret clause nobody wanted to speak of but kept vaguely discussing? FIGURED IT OUT IN ONE. Too easy! The fact Saint never attempted to tell Mila about it? Predictable! Mila being cornered by a jealous ex of Saint's and believing the bullshit she spewed at her and being "heartbroken" by it and once again running away with her brother???..Wow! I'm as far from surprised as a person could be. Especially because little miss Mila with her head in the clouds, telling Saint she trusted him and claiming to be in love with him to us (the reader) and his aunt Elena. Claiming to be in love with everything about him including his darkness (like bitch please you haven't even seen a crumb of his darkness) and then... AND THEN acting like a butthurt baby and not even attempting to confront him with what the ex said so he can defend himself? She seriously took the jealous exes words for gospel over the man she "claimed' to be in love with.
For fucks sake. Nahhhh. No that isn't love if she didn't atleast try to bring it up to him. She just takes it as fact, is so sure he lied to her and runs into danger doing the exact fucking opposite Saint asked her to do!
And then the dumb little twat had the sheer AUDACITY to think this:
"I glanced back at the entrance to the hall, part of me hoping Saint would come walking out, maybe try to stop me from running again. Maybe even tell me what Anete had said was a lie—that she was the liar, not him. But the other part of me, the less naive part, knew the real liar was me. I had been lying to myself thinking I could fit into this world of power and greed—where only the richest survived. A world I would be strong enough to rule as Saint’s queen. It was all lies I told myself so I could finally find a place I would fit in. A place I belonged."
WHAT. THE. HELL. How was Saint supposed to come chasing after her whiny ass when he had no clue she wasn't where he specifically told her to stay? That he hadn't known she ran into Anete in the bathroom when she wasn't supposed to have gone at all or let alone by herself??? You've got to be kidding me with that crap.
Lord, give me one heroine who doesn't run away crying when the shit hits the fan with the hero. Just one! Because it's such a tired and old drama. How about sticking around and fighting? 🤷🏻♀️
Honestly this had HELLA potential, but it didn't once reach it. Mila and Saint fell into the tired trope of the naive innocent falling under the dominance of a controlling man bent on revenge. She softens him to some degrees but ultimately becomes his weakness. He's cruel to her and has dark sexual desires that somehow align with her own. Blah blah blah.
The great love between Saint and Mila didn't exist. Mila was legitimately manipulated into accepting her role as wife by not just Saint himself but his aunt Elena too! She tried to sell her some bullshit line in Book One about using her kidnapping and forced marriage like an opportunity and to stop playing the victim card. Well, babygirl got fucked in more ways than one. Nothing about their connection felt deeper than a strong attraction and especially with the constant defiance Mila threw at Saint which urged him to put her in her place and punish her.
And Saint suddenly confessing he was in love with Mila at the end of book two? Sure. Right. Totally believable. (😉😉)
None of it was appealing. Not even the sex scenes felt intimate enough because they didn't share anything deeper than attraction and orgasms. Especially when the amount of sex scenes that occurred involved his punishments or restraining her. It was just some power trip and the author doing her best to make me believe Mila was into his kinks and need for absolute control.
Also did someone count how many metaphors were used in this series for the devil? Or perhaps how often the word devil and monster were used or any comparison to angels? Or better yet, how often Mila waxed poetic about something coming from HER SOUL??? No? Because that was another issue with this trilogy. So much filler with excessively boring details to ridiculous repetitive inner thoughts from the heroine Mila droning on about Saint's darkness or how she felt "something" from HER SOUL!
😂 Jesus, y'all. Okay honestly? This wasn't as bad as I might've made sound BUT it definitely could have been better especially because book two was essentially filled with filler and wasted my time. Saint really had all the delicious makings for my favorite kind of dark antihero but sadly he never grew as a character. He didn't evolve and show any inclination to either. And I didn't particularly believe in Mila being the difference maker for him. As if she was some special unicorn and "not like any other woman" that came before. It seemed more because of circumstances and because he actually NEEDED her for his vengeance and couldn't just fuck and dump her like all the rest. 🤷🏻♀️
I did like the writing style. I would and will definitely read more from this author. Simply put, the overall pacing and story focus ruined it for me. Any and all anticipation that may have been there in book one evaporated in book two as well as all interest in the Mila/Saint as a couple. By book three the big secret surrounding "the clause" in her father's will is still floating around and threatening saints price of mind with no intention of Mila ever finding out and his father is still a threat... Eh honestly? I couldn't bring myself to care enough to finish it. I had planned to skim but in the end I decided against it. I can imagine the dramatics that will occur when Mila learns the truth (likely cry and run away, possibly hide or even be caught by yet another bad guy 🙄) because obviously she will learn about the big secret andddd I'm already over it.

Where to start? I don't usually read books that are not standalones and especially ones with more than two parts, but this one turned out to be so much more. When I first started the book I truly did not think the H could be redeemed. But The characters ,the drama ,the sex . N of course the HEA was beyond emotional. So if you like dark mafia romance n this one is sure to please n to get you fired up.

Saint: A Forced Marriage Dark Romance
Written by: Bella J
Having just finished The Villain’s Beloved, I hopped over to Amazon to pick up Saint and Mila’s story. Luckily, I found their trilogy is now in one book.
Bella J takes readers on journeys through her books. Readers live vicariously through her characters. You can hate one or all of them but you will never find them boring.
In Saint we get the story of Saint (who we see in The Villain’s Beloved) and Mila. Their story is based on lies told; abuse, a friendship that has lasted since childhood, a family member who they both find solace in and a father that is hated. Those few tidbits don’t even begin to cover what we find in this epic love story.
The character development of both Mila and Saint is something that changes and grows through each part that is told. As a couple the sexual tension between them runs high, the feelings that grow throughout also changes, from demanding, to sharing to true love is only part of who each of them are.
What one doesn’t see coming is what happens at the end. This is only my second Bella J series but I have to say, each one has been unique and beautiful

INTENSE. MYSTERIOUS. PASSIONATE... BOOM!!! TROS😍😍😍.
Oh my, I'm on the edge of feeling so many things. This book had me go through a spectrum of emotions but mainly switching between anger, hate and love. Repeat with adding some swooning or rather fanning myself with the red hot scorching intensity.
But mind you even when there is no dirty deed involved yet you'll be breathing hard with the intensity that each scene is written with.
I NEED TO SCREAM.. TROS... HAD ME GO COMPLETELY CRAZY OVER ITS CHEMISTRY. The suspense right from the beginning had me like... WHATTTTTTT😲😲. From there I just wasn't able to put down TROS.
Marcello Saint Russo is an unapologetically bad man with the world as his playground and a regal status to match his name. But within him burns the rage and fires of revenge.
Amongst all this is his queen who will help him conquer the entire world. That queen is the sweet but tough Mila. She finds herself unbeknownst in Saint's claws. But she's clueless to this being a perfectly synchronized game in which she's just a pawn but also the most important piece of the game.
Amidst all this though, THE SCORCHING CHEMISTRY.. OH MY GOD... MY KINDLE WAS ON FIRE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍😍.
The scenes between Saint and Mila made me sometimes hate Saint then want him. Exactly confused and tormented just like mila. He was so frustrating and then so tempting all in one breath.
That being said I've still not come to a conclusion about my feelings of hate or love for Saint. He's a complicated and mysterious man with a ton of secrets under his jacket.
I was fanning myself so many times during the book and at times Saint was not even gentlemanly and I wanted to slap him as much as mila. But then he would make you breathless in the next instant just like mila.
So many secrets though and then.. BOOM.. NOOOOOOOO. WHAT THE.... THAT ENDING HAS ME ALREADY GOING CRAZY and like a crack addict wanting it's next fix, I need mine in the form of book 2.
Bella J, outstanding writing, outstanding scenes and you've put a story together that's equivalent to gasoline that is gonna lit up all the kindles. 10+ STARS. TROS... IS ON FIRE💖💖. LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS ONE. 💕💕💕💕

Alluring. Seductive. Enthralling. Saint is at it again. Once again making your feelings swing between Love, Hate and unrestrained passion. 😍😍🔥🔥.
After running away from Saint and meeting her newfound family in the form of her brother, Mila is filled with all kinds of feelings. Whom can she trust and who she shouldn't. Getting to know her brother opens up new questions and in addition to this is Saint's father who is ever ready to add complications when it comes to Saint.
But Saint..once again proves himself as a strong predator who pounces unbeknownst to his victims. But amidst all this he doesn't realise when he himself starts to fall for Mila's whims. Both Mila and Saint find themselves getting entangled in a web of feelings and emotions, both diving into unchartered territories.
Red dresses, Milan and being in the most luxurious places in the world. I felt like I just lived a life of royalty myself vicariously through mila. BUT MORE THAN THIS THE PASSION, THE SIZZLING, GASOLINE LIT FIERY CHEMISTRY BETWEEN MILA AND SAINT🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️
You'll will need something or lots of Cold to calm down from all the heat. 😁❤️.
I was completely hating Saint once again. I just couldn't understand this person just like mila. But DAYUMMMM. ONCE AGAIN FOUND MYSELF LUSTING AND LOVING OVER HIM. 🔥🔥😍😍.
Saint is this powerful wizard that'll enthrall you in his own web and leave you completely at his mercy.
Also, there's more of Saint to come. YESSSSSSSSS. BRING IT ON, BELLA J. CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE OF SAINT ALREADY. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Reading that "The End" on Saint's story just makes me want to go and reread the entire series again. 😍❤️
One of the most intense and freaking hottest man (after my Knox from Ruin by Bella J, of course 😍🤪).
I don't know how this amazing woman, our Bella, just keeps on churning out not only freaking intense stories, but the characters to match that intensity and drown you in their hotness, their alpha personality.
This Ride though, so many questions are answered, riddles solved and secrets revealed.
Some of them I'd guessed a bit but then the next instance I was slapped into another revelation that I just couldn't believe.
This book continues from where we left of that ending from book 2 that had left me shaken. But still there were angles in saint's story that were just not making sense and so does mila feel for her to want to know why Saint is the way he is.
Bella, starts you smoothly in this finale and lures into Saint and Mila's world, their equation, their relationship and them still learning and finding new things about each other. I was so immersed in just their world and all the ways saint makes mila crazy, also had me going crazy but then without warning you are taken by surprise and things are revealed which will leave you wide eyed.
Just as much as Mila and Saint were shocked so will you be shocked when finally the puzzle pieces all fit in their respective places.
All I can say is, I'm so not done with Saint. His character is not something that you can just forget after you're done with the series.
SAINT, JUST AS IS STUBBORN ENOUGH TO GET HIS WAY ALWAYS IN THE BOOK, ONCE YOU GET TO KNOW HIM, WILL LEAVE A IMPRINT ON YOUR MIND VOUCHING TO NEVER MAKE YOU FORGET HIM. 😘😘😘.
I LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS JOURNEY WITH MILA AND SAINT. 💋💋💋💋💋
I'm just gonna say that, YOU MILA ARE ONE FREAKING LUCKY WOMAN TO HAVE HIM AND I ENVY YOU. 😏😔💞😃♥️♥️♥️.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS JOURNEY WITH MILA AND SAINT. 💋💋💋💋💋
I'm just gonna say that, YOU MILA ARE ONE FREAKING LUCKY WOMAN TO HAVE HIM AND I ENVY YOU. 😏😔💞😃♥️♥️♥️.

Wow just wow! 🤩 Phenomenal trilogy! My first read by Bella J. I lived in Saint and Mila’s world for two days while I read all three books, and I don’t want to leave. Completely enraptured by their story. Bella is the type of author that when you read her stories you won’t ever forget them. A must read!!!

Mila and Saint
Wow, it’s all I can say. This series of 3 books are just great! So much angst and tension. The steamy scenes were unlike any that I’ve come across before. Some of them in book 3 lasted an entire chapter and more.
Saint is a bad man with an agenda to destroy his father by any means necessary.
Mila starts as a pawn in his game but thru a lot of twists and turns, she becomes so much more.
I won’t give away spoilers, but it’s worth the 3 books are just read to meet these characters that you will see in other stories.

Authors! Stop insulting our intelligence by making heroines that are too stupid to be allowed to live! This book was palaverous, cliche and predictable. How can you make one kiss last 7 paragraphs and yet it not be the least bit sexy? Idk, but Bella J sure does! Never have I skimmed sex scenes as much as I did in the book, so many words and descriptions and repetitive feelings! I rarely DNF, I usually stick it through no matter what, but this book achieved the unachievable.
