No Saint: A standalone dark romance

Good grief! Don't you just love when you take a chance on a new author and discover she's excellent - that is exactly what happened here!!Instantly I was glued, the opening scene had me thinking heck yes, tell me more!Then we met Amelia and that lady is most definitely a leonessa! Seriously, she may be small and afraid but she puts up one heck of a fight to protect her son!Gabriel quickly realises he has a heart after all when he can't get rid of Amelia - so he marries her instead! 🤦🏻‍♀️Again, Amelia fights back and has a major set of gonads on her, she rebels in any way she can, she give me a few giggles along the way - pure fierce.There's no denying the attraction and chemistry between the two, probably best you don't read this in public - definitely some parts will have you flustered!Overall, I really enjoyed it, likeable characters, it's full of action, passion, betrayal, forgiveness and an ott possessive and very hot main man 🥵I'm looking forward to more of Ria's work.⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘ “You will love me, Amelia.” There was no threat in the words, no malice or deception. It was a promise and when he pulls away and I slide my eyes back to his, I see the determination set within them, burning as hot as wildfire. It was a vow. He would take nothing less than my whole heart. And I feared, more than he would ever know, that giving it over would take no time at all.’Wow! This was one heck of a love story, it was dark and delicious.Morally grey is my favourite colour and Gabriel did not disappoint. His obsession for Amelia builds so quickly but he still wants it to be her choice. He would burn the world just to save her.Amelia truly lives up to her nickname, she is a fierce protector to those she cares about. Even though she knows she cannot win the fight she stands tall and does not wavier in her commitment to protect those she loves.I was so glad to see that Atlas, Enzo and Devon will all be getting their own stories as I fell in love with theses characters.

This book has everything you need. All the good things I love.. Forced proximity. Enemies to lovers. Good girl and My Wife energy. Controlling mafia don. So much spice!Amelia was so strong especially with everything she had been through. She also refused to put up with any crap. I loved her fiery personality.I don’t have enough words for Gabriel, he is everything.. Possessive, ruthless, very morally grey. I loved him immediately and that only grew through the book.This story has so many plot twists and turns and it will keep you guessing right until the last minute.There was so many emotions packed into this book and I can’t tell you about the amount of stress I felt in the last few chapters.Definitely recommend this book, you’ll be hooked from the start. I can’t wait to read what comes next!

When Gabriel comes for me, I fight but know it’s useless, and when he forces me to be his wife, I vow to make his life as miserable as possible.'Gabriel is the Mafia Don, he hunts for Amelia, she has a Mafia heir, and he's not taking no for an answer.I loved Ria's Mafia world, the way she writes about the characters and world submerses you into the book. I enjoyed reading about Amelia's character development. Gabriel was morally grey, going after everything he wanted without caring about the consequences, he made me hot under the collar.There were emotional scenes that had me crying. I just loved it all.This is a Mafia/ Single Mum trope which is not something I've read before, but now I know I need more off. I was already a huge fan of Ria, but this was my favourite by far.Take note of the TW's.

This book 🥵🥵 I am obsessed with these characters!!! I need more!This book had you guessing till the last chapter, I honestly had so many suspicions about who the traitor was and I was so convinced I knew 🤣Highly recommend this book to anyone wanting something hot and dangerous

Gabriel Saint isn’t what his name suggests he’s far from a Saint and now he’s on the warpath trying to find who killed his brother and anyone who stands in his way better run fast. When he finds out his brother has a son he goes for him and his mother to protect them but someone is working against him . Someone is trying to bring his empire down and kill all his family and he has no idea who but when he does find out who is doing it. Loved this book Gabriel is perfect and that book cover I’d have bought the paperback just for the cover .
