About this listen

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.

Mila gets kidnapped by a saint. Saint is not likeable at all, he's abusive, aggressive, controlling, and he feels no remorse about taking what he wants. Mila is a dumb arse not opening that envelope. Who in their right mind would refuse to know the truth in her situation? She has this weird and unhealthy attraction to a man who treats her with zero respect, in reality a guy like Saint would never be able to redeem himself or show love. It's a painful listen. It lacks the right balance to be both dark and enjoyable. I won't continue the series because nothing really happens in this book. The author just wanted to stretch a story out.

Domestic abuse

I have never felt more angry than I have listening to this episode. Cruel and dangerous and hope that this has a happy ending because at the moment there seems to be no end to the anger

What a cruel man

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The narration is in a different style, and I love it! They both get very dramatic, loud and fast, when covering the intimate scenes and it gives atmosphere. The story is good too, with lots of twists, just like a 'proper' book.
I'm buying the next book, something I don't often do.

excellent story

This was a horrible read no redemption for the male character in this story whatsoever, pure abuse towards a vulnerable woman. A woman presented as a weak defenceless female. Taking advantage of but who also did not help herself. I will not be reading the rest of the series.

Abusive and Toxic

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Crossed the line into too much abuse. Not a good read at all.
Had to give up as it was too uncomfortable. Bella J is definitely no JT Geissinger who is much more comfortable to read with her wit and strong female characters. I will not be listening any of Bella J books again. Thankfully it was free.
