I was kidnapped on my honeymoon by three masked men.

Blindfolded.
Bound.
Destination unknown.

I was told to stay silent and abide by their rules. But they didn’t realize I wasn’t a victim…not anymore.

The open sea was my backdrop for nine torturous days. During that time, glimmers of my fate were revealed by a man with the mysterious chartreuse-colored eyes. He should have scared me, but he didn’t.

He intrigued me. And I intrigued him.

He punished me when I didn’t listen, which was every single day. But beneath his cruelty, I sensed he was guarding a grave secret.

I was sold.
And in a game of poker, no less.

My buyer? A Russian mobster who likes to collect pretty things. Now that I know the truth, I only have one choice.

Sink or swim.

And when one fateful night presents me the opportunity, I take it. I just never anticipated my actions would leave me shipwrecked with my kidnapper.

He needs me alive. I want him dead.

But as days turn into weeks, one thing becomes clear—I should hate him…but I don’t.

My name is Willow.
His name is Saint.

Ironic, isn’t it? He bears a name that denotes nothing but holiness yet delivers nothing but hell. However, if this is hell on earth…God, save my soul.


**BAD SAINT is a DARK ROMANCE containing mature themes that might make some readers uncomfortable. It includes: kidnapping, captivity, strong violence, mild language, and some dark and disturbing scenes.
This twisted tale is not intended for the fainthearted. So, if you’re game…welcome to the madness.


"Sinful and compelling, Bad Saint takes you on a darkly romantic, emotionally tense ride that will leave you aching for more” - New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy

"Shipwrecked on a deserted island with a beautiful, tortured villain? Sign me up!" - K.A. Tucker, USA Today Bestselling Author of Ten Tiny Breaths

    5.0 out of 5 stars Having withdrawl symptoms
    Reviewed in Canada on August 23, 2022
    Most fiction requires the reader to suspend belief in some areas - in this trilogy it’s well worth the doing. I was completely drawn into the wild ride this trilogy evokes. Never a dull moment- never flipped ahead. Glad I have more to look forward to in this ‘world’ with Alex’s story. With some trilogies things drop off after the first book - NOT here. Very much recommend!!!

    Monica Jame’s has managed to peak my curiosity with Bad Saint.

    Filled with action and angst, this book was a definite page turner.

    Dark and raw emotion at its best.
    The chemistry between Willow and Saint undeniably sexy.

    The book ends with a cliffhanger.

    Thank god the complete trilogy is out and i dont have to waist another minute.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 STARS

    Bad Saint seized my attention right from the beginning and straight to end, which left me greedy for more!

    This is the first book that I’ve read from Monica James, and it will definitely not be the last. I would highly recommend you start All The Pretty Things Trilogy.

    The dynamic between the two main characters, Saint and Willow is tempestuous at best, which I find quite ironic considering they are at sea for the majority of the book and eventually are shipwrecked together. I really enjoyed how Willow’s character grew stronger despite the situation she is forced in. Most would submit and accept their fate, but not Willow. She falters a few times, but she continuously proves how fierce she is in the face of her captors.

    Saint, is not who you expect especially with a name as reverent as his.

    "Ironic, isn’t it, that someone who bears a name denoting nothing but holiness can deliver nothing but hell.”

    He equally wanted to punish and protect Willow. Though with every punishment he administers he starts to lose part of himself.

    “Each time I punish her, I feel whatever small shred of humanity I have left slip away.”

    Near the end of the book, it seems as if they’ve weathered the storm. Unfortunately, it may just be the calm before the tempest as we are left with a cliffhanger. I can vouch that this dark romance is an EPIC read! I am eager to dive into the next instalment, Fallen Saint when it is released. Bad Saint is Volume One in the All The Pretty Things Trilogy by Monica James, and it will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!

    I was given an advance readers copy of this book and have decided to write a voluntary honest review. I am rating this book 4.5,stars. I'm pretty sure this Monica's first dark and I have to say she did amazing job. It's not as dark I thought it to be. But it was really good, kept me on toes wanting to plot the story in my head. I'm honestly upset at willow for some scenes, I know the pull was strong but she needs to Remeber she was kidnapped. I honestly don't think I could ever let that slide. She's paying the ultimate price. Saint man I feel for him I get why he is why he is but willow is someone's family. I'll leave it at that. Now I can't wait for book 2!

    Well hot damn!!! This one was dark and hot and had me hooked! I loved that Willow is strong and fierce, and refuses to just roll over and cower. Saint is one of those guys you want to hate so bad but you can;t because he is just everything a dark hero should be. These two had me glued to the pages and I swear the next one better be coming quick cause i don't know how long I can wait before i start begging for more!!

    Could not finish. Predictable and tedious. The heroine was beyond plausible and the hero felt plastic. The information dump at the beginning should have been offered throughout to give the read depth.

    This book will turn you inside out and then gut you with its ending. It is worth every emotion, tear and feeling because the story of Saint and Willow is a crazy, suspenseful and emotion filled tale of having to do wrong to achieve right. Add in angst, deception and suspense and you have the masterpiece that is Bad Saint.

    Ugh. I am completely wrecked over Saint and Willow. Wow. I need to catch my breath after finishing that. What starts as something tragic, ends up still being tragic. Willow blew me away by how strong and resilient she is. The author has created this romance that sucks you in and I am wrecked over the ending. It has the plot, characters, suspense, deception and emotion all wrapped up in one amazing book that will leave you reeling and begging for more. I felt emotionally invested in these characters and could feel their emotions and struggles, all because the authors amazing words. I finished this book in a matter of hours once I started. A must read for 2019 that will make you come back for more over and over again.

    Willow and Saint..... where do I start? Their story is a tale that will put you on a rollercoaster of emotions. Saint is made to do something, Willow is at the end of that something. They are forced together with so many twists and turns, they are shipwrecked. I loved the emotion and strength Willow has. I love how you see glimpses of Saint as a man in his past. I hated the bad guys and gals. It wrecked me what willow had gone through, but I’m excited to see what the future holds with this strong, kick butt woman and this man named Saint who I’m sure will be something to behold in the next book.

    I loved this book, a very promising first book of this series. Looking forward to read book 2 and book 3. I like it when the girl is strong and stubborn, but not stupid...that’s different for some men in this story...some of them are stupid *ssholes 😉 I also fell in love with Harriet Pot Pie and I’m wondering if she will be make an appearance in book 2.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dark, twisted forbidden romance - a must read!
    Reviewed in Germany on June 12, 2019

    Bad Saint is the first installment in the promising All The Pretty Things Trilogy by Monica James. It's a dark, twisted forbidden romance with a badass heroine and a controversial hero that left me completely breathless and shamelessly begging for more. This book contains mature themes and some disturbing scenes that might make certain readers uncomfortable. Monica didn't mince or romanticize some aspects of this story and I'm grateful for that to be honest since this is not an "all hearts and flowers" kind of book and certainly not a conventional love story.

    Willow Shaw didn't have an easy childhood. Life has thrown some major curveballs her way. But despite all the bad and tragic things that happend to her she still remained positive and never gave up. This woman is a fighter and I truly admired her for her strength and perseverance. When she gets kidnapped on her honeymoon in Greece by three masked, brutal men in order to be brought to her master - a Russian mobster - as his new plaything she tries to keep her cool and find a way out of this desperate situation. They tell her to be obedient und to follow their rules but little do they know that Willow is not a victim and an easy pushover. One of her kidnappers seems to be different then the others. He shows glimpses of humanity underneath his cruel demeanor. His name is ironically Saint, although he is definitely more an unforgivable sinner than a holy creature. Willow is equally fascinated and irritated by this gorgeous and mysterious man who seems to be keeping a huge secret. He punishes her when she doesn't listen and rewards her for her good behavior. He needs her alive and she wants him dead. Willow should hate him but she doesn't. And as days turn into weeks she is asking herself if Saint is actually her captor or rather her savior?

    Kuddos to Monica for creating such multi-layered and well-developed characters. I adored Willow and think that she is one of the strongest female leads I've ever read about. This woman endured so much but she never allowed anybody to break her - not even Saint. And that was actually what gained her his respect and admiration. There is so much more to Saint than meets the eye. He was a walking conundrum in the beginning but with every layer of his personality revealed I fell more for this troubled and broken man. There is still kindness and compassion inside his heart which makes him the definition of an antihero.

    Bad Saint is a highly entertaining and intriguing mix of a mobster and Island romance with a lot of suspense and sexiness thrown into it. I was glued to my kindle while devouring this fantastic story because I simply couldn't get enough of the pent-up need and sizzling chemistry between Willow and Saint. My mind was spinning with possible theories about who is playing who and why and how the story is going to continue. This book ends on a huge heartstopping cliffhanger and leaves us with open questions that are going to be answered in the following installments. I can't wait to see what Monica will come up with. I'm giving this amazing must-read 5 shiny stars!!!

    It's not a secret anymore, I LOVE Monica's books. I was really looking forward to reading this one because this is her first Dark Romance, and let me tell you I wasn't disappointed at all!!
    This book has everything to make you crave for more. It's intense, it makes you feel so many emotions (fear, angst, love, passion...), the dark scenes are very well written, and it's highly addictive!
    You'll fall in love with Saint (even if you don't want to) and, as usual with Monica, be prepared to expect the unexpected!

    This book! This book is amazing! I am utterly hooked on Saint and his angel.

    This book is the first in a trilogy by Monica James. It’s the first book of hers that I’ve read and I’m blown away. It’s a mature, detailed read, full of suspense and drama and angst and jeopardy.

    Saint is a complex character. You never know whether he’s a good man gone bad, or a bad man trying to be good. He’s so conflicted throughout the book.

    Willow, his angel, initially comes over as naïve and innocent, but soon channels her feisty, independent self and becomes quite the kick ass heroine.

    The trials and tribulations these characters go through will make your head spin, but remember, this is only part one. Whatever else does the author have in store for them?? I can’t even begin to guess, but I’m sticking around for the whole, unapologetic, wild ride that this series promises to be.
