This was such a good book

Saint and Rowan's story is the most heartbreaking and hardest to read from the series, what they go through is absolutely horrible but no matter what happened their love was so freaking beautiful every step of the way. Their love was the reason both survived and what kept them from completely drowning.
Even after everything that happens to them they remain the sweetest couple and I adored them a lot. I love how he tried his very best to be her protector and take care of her when he was also being hurt. Saint really is Rowan's safe haven and vice versa.
The love between these two go so deep ever since they first met each other.
Saint and his Dove *forever melting*

I have to admit I wasn't sure how his story would play out, since we'd found out in Hendrix book, so call me intrigued. Well let's just say these ladies totally sucked me in and let thing's play out and was I surprised about Rowan's dad my heart went out to Rowan and Saint he totally stepped up and won my heart granted these 2 I felt should’ve told someone mainly his brother's, but sometimes those demons are stronger. I don't know how I still feel towards Rowan I hate to say this but she needed to think about about some of the thing's she did and how it'd affect Saint ugh I wanted to hug her one minute and the next ask her what was she doing, how long was she going to let it continue? Man was she a magnet for finding herself in needing to be saved way to many times. Holy toledo it was like a bullseye was painted on her just when you thought that danger was taken care here came another. All in all you need to read this book it is definitely a wild ride it will keep you turning pages just to find out what was happening next, because it'll take you for a spin.

Saint by Tara Lee and DL Gallie was funny, steamy, and cute but also suspenseful and unique. Saint and Rowan are well written characters who compliment each other very well. The love Rowan and Saint share is like no other. Honestly I got so emotional reading this it was impossible to stay straight faced. Saint would do anything for Rowan and Rowan tries to do the same. With this book in particular I wish there was more of a climax. It seemed as if any time any problem occurred it got fixed after a page or two, which is fine, but I would’ve liked more details. Besides that I’ve got nothing more to say. Now that I’ve read about all four brothers I can’t choose which book is my favorite. The Lords of Crestwood series as a whole is absolutely amazing. It’s well written and I love how all the books overlap and interconnect with one another. I recommend reading this series but make sure you check trigger warnings prior!

The lies, secrets and betrayal will never triumph the love Saint and Rowan has for each other nor the love and compassion their friends have for them.
This was an absolute crazy rollercoaster of events and emotions where many more things came to light. Some moments it left me in shock, but I kept on because I needed to know. I tell you when the other shoe dropped, there was absolutely no disappointment!

Well I definitely wasn't expecting any of that...
We knew from the end of the previous book that there was something nefarious going on, but the magnitude of what 'that' actually was and how long it went on will astound you.
For that alone I gave all the stars.
But with this being the last book in the series I was surprised when some things either felt rushed or forgotten.
Not sure why, but maybe it was because this series was a co-write and things get missed.
In saying that, this couple have more than enough to tell you, and you'll focus on them rather than the on-going plot threads.

From when they first saw each other Saint and Rowen have loved each other. Saint knew something was happening with Rowen but didn’t know how bad it was until she told him, then he vowed to do everything he could to protect her from her monster.
Although Saint and Rowen have monsters, they are dealing with, their love for each other shows throughout, they both know nothing can keep them apart even the monsters, and they are better together and make each other whole.

I loved Saint and Rowan together. When I got to the end of book three in this series I knew there would be some heavy topics ahead for book four. And it definitely was that. The journey that these two faced was intense and enough to break most people. But no matter what they were there for each other and did what they could to take care of and protect each other. They have an unbreakable bond that is nothing short of amazing.

I think this was my favorite of this series. This couple had so much against them but somehow they came out of it all stronger

Never have I felt such opposite emotions reading a story! There was such love and adoration, but also hate and disgust.
DL Gallie & Tara Lee have done an amazing job with this one! I could not put it down!
And I got a sneaky mention which I adore and am so grateful for! 🖤
This is a must read! Saint & Rowan are meant for each other no matter how hard their path is along the way!

Saint and Rowan’s story was so heartbreaking.
These two characters go through so much together, emotionally and physically. They can’t seem to catch a break.
This story really pulls at the heartstrings, and is NOT for the faint hearted. But it was another fantastic addition to this series.

Wow!!! Loved loved loved this book!! Everybody needs a Saint in their lives, and Rowan certainly found hers. From the moment Rowan entered Crestwood High, and Saint saw her, he knew she was it for him.
Saints story captures their lives so realistically as they both struggle to make it in their twisted world whilst being abused by Rowan's father. It is a hard read but also thrilling that Saint would lay his life down for his "Dove", by offering to accept the abuse from Mathew Ashwood if he left Rowan alone.
The darkness that lurks within the walls of Crestwood are not known initially, but Saint and Rowan have their owns demons and secrets that keep them bound together. To keep Rowan safe, Saint declares he will do whatever is necessary and without realising that Rowan is still being abused by her father, he also has to endure whatever Mathew Ashwood wants to dish out to Saint. He is one sick man, and when it is revealed that Rowan is still at the mercy of her father, Saint unwittingly reveals their secret.
So many twists with this story keep you turning the pages, just wanting everything to be ok for Saint and Rowan, but murder, kidnapping and being sold to the highest bidder, are all thrown at them.
How do they both graduate from school and get their HEA. Go and grab Saint's story and enjoy the ride! A great 5 star must read.

Where are the tissues??
Rowan and Saint are like two peas in a pod. The moment they meet at age fifteen, they have an instant connection and get along really well. Yet things are not butterflies and rainbows for them as we soon learn that Rowan has been dealing with the abuse of her father and soon Saint steps in. Their story definitely puts you through the wringer as we see how they are each trying to protect one another and relentlessly show how much they care. They go through hell and back, facing blow by blow but together they remain steadfast and are each other’s whole world. The story definitely grips you and doesn’t let go. We definitely cheer and hurrah when they get their HEA.
Along the way we have some concurrent storylines with the prior books so I would advise reading those beforehand to avoid spoilers and understand who some of the characters are. Overall though, this was definitely an engaging read and I look forward to seeing what else the author has in store.

Gahhhh IM SOOOO SAD!!!!!!!! Saint is the last of my men to be released into the universe and he Definitely went out with a big BANG!!!!!!
My heart totally broke through this book.
Saint loved his Dove aka Rowan with all his heart and soul from the moment he met her at the age of 13 he was hooked.
Rowan had been through soooo much losing her mum and having to suffer the wrath of her unhinged father!!!
There was so many times i screamed and cried through this book and i soooo WANTED to do not nice things to f#$kface Ashford!!!!
Saint vowed to protect Rowan from all the bad at the cost of him self.
The love Saint and Rowan had for eachother was like no other love and nothing i mean nothing could break there bond.
There was sooo much heartache and trauma in this book that you should read the trigger warnings first.

The Murdoch brothers each have their own journey of heartbreak. I think this one so far has been emotional and heartbreaking whist filled with such love and compassion
Strength from within has kept these characters strong during their times of heartbreak.
Rowan's life has always been hard having to listen to her mother suffer ar the hands of her father. That significantly increased after the death of her mother.
Her life became hell each and every day.
Saint by name Saint by nature. Saint knew the moment he saw Rowan at 15 years old being dragged by her father through the school grounds from day 1 he would never not be there for her.
What he didn't relise what it would take to try and keep her safe.
Intense captivating whilst ripping your emotions to shreds.

This is the fourth book in this amazing series, and this is Saint and Rowen’s journey. These two have such a sweet relationship after everything which they have endured, and Saint will do whatever he must to keep Rowen safe and protected, and she is there for him every step of the way.
This is a well written story which has family, friendships, secrets, lies, corruption, suspense, survival, trials and tribulations, heartbreak, emotional, and love, which leads to an entertaining, haunting, intense page turner, and pulls at the heartstrings throughout page turner, which is not for the faint-at-heart.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

What an amazing and beautiful end to this series. Saint and Rowan’s story was heartbreaking, and the most emotional book of the series. What Saint did for her was beyond heroic. He truly lived up to his name. The depths he went to, to protect her proved beyond doubt just how far he’d go to protect his “Dove”. From the time he first laid eyes on her at 15, Rowan stole his heart. Their journey to a HEA was sad and dark, but together they were each other’s safe place and no two people deserved more of a HEA than Saint and Rowan!
This was an amazing series, one I devoured in days and definitely recommend reading. But start from book 1!!!

Saint has loved Rowan since she was a teenager. He has been there to support her through all the challenges that life has thrown her, and he isn’t about to stop now.
Rowan’s past is an emotional rollercoaster however the complications continue into the present. The one bright spot has been Saint, but the danger is far from over.
Saint and Rowan have always belonged together, and I enjoyed seeing them fight for each other as they proved that they are so much stronger together than apart.
