This book blew me away from start to finish. A phenomenal page turner. Tori and Saint's story is filled with so many emotions and a bit of tragedy. I was legit shocked with some of the events that took place in this because they weren't what I expected. The twists and turns, the truths, secrets, danger, suspense, and revelations are just the tip of the iceberg that made this one heck of a ride. I really enjoyed reading this, unexpected but so darn good. I recommend this book it doesn't disappoint.

✨ I received this book as an ARC for my honest review✨
“Dirty Saint,” the second installment in the Sons of Sinister series, stands strong as a standalone. Despite being part of a series, the story and the concluding moments filled me with joy, tears, and contentment. Saint and Tori’s story unfolds seamlessly, offering a captivating enemy-to-lovers dynamic. The slow-burn romance, laced with angst between Koah (Saint) and Tori, develops steadily, although some moments felt a bit slow. As the story progresses towards the end, memories of the boys racing bikes, I found myself eagerly flipping pages to discover the unfolding events.
This book is a rollercoaster of emotions. The characters and the plot drew me in and immersed me in their world keeping me on edge the entire time.
The two tortured souls find solace in each other’s arms after putting their past behind them once they find each other again. The story is filled with danger, excitement, surprises, love, passion, forgiveness, pain, sacrifices, and a plot twist that I never saw coming.
Koah, Saint, a motorcycle-riding bad boy, has more to him than meets the eye. His story is just like Tori’s, heart-wrenching. Through their journey realize they have more in common and make each other feel alive again. Tori, bravely raising her teenage sister, loses herself in the process but proves that she is a survivor. I enjoyed Tori’s character, and witnessing how strong she is. Tori is a brave, strong, and determined who I admire from the beginning.
Childhood friends turned enemies, their connection faces challenges of secrets and betrayals. Yet, being together restores their broken souls, helping each other heal from past pain. Overcoming obstacles, their bond prevails, making their story truly uplifting.

Koah Saint and Tori Walsh’s lives have forever been changed by the past that still haunts them and the pain that never lets them go. Tori absolutely loathes Koah for the lies he told that upended her entire life and years later that resentment has never burned out, but when their lives begin to cross again secrets are starting to come to light and the darkness that destroyed Koah brings Tori to her knees. Their story isn’t easy as they both have a lot of demons to overcome and life keeps knocking them down, but when their truths are told will they be able to walk away as only friends or go against everything and everyone that is keeping them apart and find their happily ever after? My heart hurt so much for both of them because of all that was endured, and the pain left a mark on me as I read. Koah deserves nothing but happiness and yet the darkness tries to consume him and keep him down until Tori. This was a beautiful story with some very real traumas and the author took those and made us feel so much for the characters and anyone dealing with them. I loved how through each other they were able to navigate the pain and help see each other through and man Joker is going to be a wild story that I know will knock me to my knees.

I've waited so long for this book! Lol. The first book in this series came out in 2020, and I have been waiting for book 2

I didn’t realize how dark this book was until I was invested in it.
I love a good dark romance and this author delivered. She’s new to me so I wasn’t sure what to expect.
I enjoyed the push and pull of these characters but I felt so much anger at their childhoods.
Two kids who were friends as kids, then strangers and enemies in turn become lovers. Koah Saint becomes a drug dealer biker who uses substance abuse to dull the pain of his past. Victoria “Tori” is just trying to make ends meet and to make sure her sister becomes the young lady she deserves to be. Their paths crash and they’re both stubborn, not listening to each other.
Eventually they learn about secrets they’ve been keeping and their relationship takes form on its own. They start looking out for each other and start learning to love one another.

I received an ARC, and I'm freely reviewing.
This book, I'm just at a loss here. It's 3:02am, and I could not stop until I read every word. My heart, oh man. So, this book will have triggers of sexual abuse, sexual assault, drugs, and gun violence. If those triggers are not for you, don't read this book but that just makes me sad because this story is amazing.
This is book 2 in series, I feel like this is a standalone. So, please dive right in. Koah (Saint) and Tori have a sad history and are enemies for the wrong/right reasons. There is mutual hatred and guilt from both characters for the other. They truly fight the attraction for themselves but eventually they can't stop it. You don't want them to either. I absolutely adored Saint and Tori, the sass, the flaws, the strength. I laughed and I sobbed. Your heart hurts for them, then you smile for them, your heart beats faster for them and then it just shatters at one point. I'm still wiping the tears from my face as I type this. I trying my best to explain how amazing this book is and I just know that I am not doing it justice. I really, really loved this story and these characters. Hands down my favorite book of hers!!!

Book two is just as good as book one! Saint and Tori have intertwined pasts that they have long buried until they see each other again on The Strip. Now they need to figure out how to coexist. The story is both full of love and heartbreak. I had tears a few times while reading but it was such a good book! Cannot wait for Jokers story!

First things first, please check the trigger warnings on this. There are some situations mentioned in the book that some will have a hard time with. This is a dark enemies to lovers book. Tori’s father was sent to prison by someone she thought was her friend Saint for a crime he didn’t do. Tori and her sister went from living in luxury to scrapping by on their own. Saint does not feel bad for sending Tori’s father to prison, he deserved to be put away but not for the crime he was convicted of. These 2 spend most of their lives hating the thought of each other until they end up seeing each other again. This story is super intense and I really enjoyed the way the characters developed in the book. And there is plenty of spice as well as a killer plot.

Dirty Saint was a slow burn with a good bit of angsty back and forth between Koah (Saint) and Tori. I felt like the story was kind of slow at times, but overall it developed well and I enjoyed it. Things speed up like the bikes the boys race towards the end and I found myself racing to flip the pages to see what was going to happen next. In the end, I had a big smile, a few tears, and a lot of happiness for the way things turned out. While this is part of a series, I don't think I was missing anything having not read the first book. If you like an angsty, spicy, mc romance, Dirty Saint is a good one.
