The Saint

Gentlemen Rogues, Book 3

By: Nana Malone

Narrated by: Shane East, Kyo Sija

Kaya Reynolds is a distraction, a rage-inducing pain in the butt, and an absolute magnet for trouble. But when you're a Rogues agent, you don't get to pick your assignments. Unfortunately, you don't get to decline them either. And that's how I ended up fake engaged to the most infuriating woman I've ever met.

The Rogues Division is a top-secret, highly-classified, "I'd tell you but I'd have to kill you" kind of organization. The kind of organization the government pretends not to love having at its disposal.

Kaya Reynolds is our latest asset. If I want to bring down the man who killed my fiancé, I've got to keep her safe. Thing is, the last time I saw her, she kissed the hell out of me...because she was being chased by his goons and she needed a distraction. But something sparked between us—something I have no business thinking about day and night. Especially when we're only pretending to like each other. Aren't we? Yes we are!

This marriage is just for show. I refuse to be tempted by my curvy assignment's soft satin lips, dark mischievous eyes, or the way she looks at me. Even when we're not playing our roles....But nope, NOPE! I lost someone I loved once. And I'm not letting anybody else into my heart. I'm not going there with the woman I'm only pretending to love. It's all about staying in control. And I won't let her tempt me into losing mine.

Gentlemen Rogues #2

This is the first book I've read/listened to by Nana Malone. I definitely want to get book one of this series after listening to this book. It's definitely a standalone for I didn't feel like I missed anything. I only wish I knew Lachlan and Saffron's story. Nana Malone wrote well with an excellent storyline and easy to like characters. Saint and Kaya were perfect for one another. Their story kept me on the edge of my seat. I look forward to listening to more of this series.

Full of suspense...

The Saint was a great book that's action packed, suspenseful and full of heat. This is Saint and Kaya's story. It's a forced proximity, fake engagement story with all the feels.

I absolutely loved the narration. Aiden Snow and Kyo Sija were the perfect Saint and Kaya. They really brought these characters to life.

The Saint!!

Kaya and Saint’s story is that of an instant attraction that quickly progresses to falling in love. Initially they have love-hate encounters filled with tons of chemistry because one of them refuses to concede to the other person. However, they work everything out in the end. I liked the twists and turns of their story, the action packed sequences and the commentary from their friends! They were forced to live together early on because of some dicey circumstances which led them to trust each other so they could get what they both wanted. Shane East was a wonderful narrator as always, but Kyo Sija was new to me and also did a great job narrating. It was an interesting listening experience.

The Saint: Gentlemen Rogues, Book 3

PERFORMANCE: Obviously, Shane East did an exceptional job with the narration of this story. I say obviously because I have yet to come across an audio narration by him that I have not been head over heels about! Kyo Sija is a new narrator to me, and I thoroughly enjoyed her. They both did a really good job bringing this story to life for me and I look forward to listening to a lot more from them both!

STORY: Every time I experience a story by Nana Malone I want to kick myself for not having read all the words!! The opportunity to listen to The Saint came via Valentine PR about three weeks ago and because of my Scribd subscription I was able to jump to the beginning of this particular series with first The Heir and then The King before jumping into The Saint. Well, I am ridiculously happy that I could do that because it gave me a more comprehensive understanding of The Rogues Division team and their mission but more importantly, the secondary characters. If you’re not super picky on this, the story does provide key information from previous storylines when it’s necessary, but for me, that’s just not enough *shrug* SO, this is me not calling this a standalone, LOL But I digress, let’s talk about The Saint :)

There are a lot of circumstances rolling thru this story that will keep you on your toes and on the edge. Some of those I saw coming but others, not so much. It was a perfect combination of both, in my opinion. For me, this story was more suspense than romance which is a ridiculous distinction to make about a *romantic suspense*, I know, but I felt the mystery overshadowed the building of the relationship a bit and if I was asked if these two would ”go the distance till death do us part”, I might just answer ”maaaaaaaaybe”. That by no means lessen my overall listening experience about this couple, but it’s just a fact. They had excellent chemistry and of course I felt their attraction, but *sigh* I dunno…

As for character development, storyline fluidity and series cohesiveness, mad props for a job well done all around! I don’t have too much experience with this author, but I do with this series, as I mentioned earlier, and the arc of the group and their missions is riveting and very attractive to the reader. You can’t just stop at one book, or at least I don’t recommend it LOL
