Saint (Boston Underground #4)
4 "crazed up in retaliation" stars Book 4 in the Boston Underground series brings us the turmoil that consists of two dramatically opposites in action – Scarlett (aka Tenly Albright) and Irish mafia man Rory „The Saint“ Brodrick Scarlett
She's toxic. Poison. She's feminine. Inviting. And no doubt deadly as hell.
But she's a scarred shell of a person due to a vile physically and emotional torment and violation she went through in her past leaving her empty and retaliation driven as an aftermath
Scarlett doesn't feel anything. She doesn't show any emotion. She's colder than a fucking ice cube even though she looks anything but.
She's on a warpath, practicing her vengeanful ways on assholes – men who'd seek out hookers for cheap thrills and fast pleasure – fucking them up, leaving them scarred on the ouside as she was/is from the inside, the whole time searching and preparing for the final ordeal with the five men who done her wrong in the past. And she's set on taking them down one by one, no matter what it takes, no matter what she has to do...
I'm a wrecking ball, and you don't fuck with a wrecking ball. I'm a compulsive liar. It's what I do for a living. It's what i do to survive.
until she crosses path with Rory.
Rory Brodrick. AKA the Saint. He's a fighter. A hustler. And a mobster.
And he wants HER. Only he can't have HER, she's slippery, dangerous and liability. BUT the „game“ they set upon each other, will test the limits of each of their capacity to bend but not break, in the hustling house of cards, lines will be blurred and hearts will be found, as scary as it might be for them both, more for Scarlett then Rory...
I've been lying to Rory since the day that I met him.... It's a second nature. As easy as breathing. To lie even when I don't need to.
And yet again, she's putting herself outhere even if she's not aware of the action as such...being stubbornly elusive and crazed up reclusive, wild and untamed...but Rory is a fighter and as stubborn as she is...
I can be patient. And she will learn to trust me.
And when the push comes to shove, they will try to break one another in persistance to change or not to change...
I'm not ever going to give up on you. I'm not ever going to e like the people who walked out of your life and hurt you. I'm in your corner, always. And I will go to battle for ye every single day for the rest of my life, so long as I have you by my side.
But that just might not be enough for Scarlett...cause she not only has to beat her past, she needs to find a purpose beyond revenge alone that's been eating on her for so long, she needs to let herself free and move on...and that's not something she'd let on happening in an instant...beyond the crazy revenge impulse, she will eventually find a sort of pease in letting Rory take care of her, take care of the part of her vengeance and fulfill it. But she'd be keeping that elusive streak within her cause, after all...it's how they function...hence
He really is a Saint. And I really am the Devil.
This was another sequel packed with steamy action and steamy untipical romance in pursuit of revenge, redemption and letting go...even though I personally found unsatisfactory with resolving a certian part of mentioned vengeance, i kinda didn't find the catarthic notion as I was expecting BUT inspite that, it a highly driven action sexed up ride you don't wanna get off. Thank you, Ashleigh!!!
