*Book Review- Sainted (The Invincibles Book 8) by Heather Slade

 

He’s a playboy MI6 agent trying to change his ways.
She’s a future minister jilted at the altar.
Together, they’re INVINCIBLE.
SAINT
I’ve got a reputation to mend—a lifestyle to correct. Hell, I’m no saint; I like my women. But I want this job more than anything. Walking the straight and narrow is going to be hard, but being an INVINCIBLE is even harder. But the hardest job of all: not torturing the deadbeat thug who left a beautiful and innocent woman high and dry.

HARPER
Jilted, alone, and totally broke. Stranded in a foreign country was not exactly my fantasy honeymoon. Yet here I am with no clue how to get out of this. And then out of nowhere, I’m gifted a miracle in the shape of a strong, sexy, and stubborn MI6 agent who insists on being my knight in shining armor. Whoever said that the sinners are much more fun have never met SAINT. AMAZON LINK

3.5 STARS

 

A slow starting story.  I felt that this story had potential but also that it didn't totally get there. It just didn't pull me in as much as I had expected.

I liked that Harper wore glasses, you don't see that too often in stories.   Although both Saint and Harper made for good main characters, it also felt that their conversations often felt stilted.   The "romance" not so much. Something that I really enjoyed was that Harper was not one bit intimidated by Saint's uncle, Nigel.  She was more than able to deal with him and his oversized thoughts of his own importance.  That did make me smile.

Mouse was Harper's best friend who was mentioned in some fun moments of mention but never seen in the story. 

Things do get more active later in the story.  And I liked how Saint gained the upper-hand in several different areas.  That was well done and well deserved.  The story goes also come to a good end with several problems dealt with and a H.E.A.

 

 I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from Booksprout. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
