Synopsis
I can’t have Elijah Iverson.
I can’t have him because he’s my older brother’s best friend. I can’t have him because I broke his heart five years ago; because he’s now engaged to someone else-someone kind and dependable who deserves his whiskey eyes, his soft mouth, his fierce intellect.
I can’t have Elijah because I’ve chosen God instead.
The Bell brothers, though . . . well, we don’t exactly have the greatest track record with vows. But I’m determined to do this monk thing right-to pledge myself to a cloistered life and spend the rest of my years in chastity and prayer. But now Elijah’s here. He’s here and he’s coming with me on my European monastery road trip, and between the whispered confessions and the stolen kisses and the moments bent over an ancient altar, my vows are feeling flimsier by the day.
And vows or not, I know in my heart that it would take more than a good and holy monk to resist Elijah Iverson right now. It would take a saint.
And we all know that I’m no saint.

Review
Saint is the third book in the Priest series and my least favorite of the three.
I liked it, but it was by far the most angsty and most religious heavy of the book. This is very surprising given that in Priest, Tyler was a priest. Because this was a second-chance romance, there was the angst of Aidan being a monk coupled with the angst of Aidan and Elijah’s past romance. I loved Aidan and Elijah, and I loved them together. They were opposites that fit together, and their chemistry was amazing!
The thing I didn’t love was Aidan’s continuous struggle. Between Elijah and his religion. I would have been okay with the internal battle if he didn’t start a physical relationship with Elijah. I have no problem with the physical relationship. It was that he thought he had to choose between the two that irritated me.
I listened to the audiobook, and like the other, in the series, it was primarily narrated by Jacob Morgan. He did a phenomenal job. This man could read a phone book, and I would get hot and bothered. Sean Christen narrated a few scenes from Elijah’s perspective, and I have to say I would have liked more of him.
Overall I like this book, but it was nowhere near as good as Sinner or Priest.
