Cruel Saints was such a marvelous addition to this series and I am becoming more and more intrigued by the personality and style of the series that this author is implementing. I am still fairly new to this author, but I am definitely fascinated by what she is delivering. For those new to the series, the St. Monarch's Academy is where a group of young people come together to learn the trade of training as they are to be assassins for hire or mafia or crime syndicate royalty. The gist of the story is that our heroine is being abused and her father doesn't care about her and his second-in-command plans on marrying her. But he sends her to the Monarch's academy and she makes an ally with Lucian and through a set of events, an arranged marriage is sorted between them.

I will say that I was completely fascinated by seeing how this author really showcases this story and seeing the way that this pair come together here. I wanted so much for them to find their way. I felt so for this heroine who is in such a bad place and Lucian offers her a level of hope and once they get married, seeing their romance blossom was really beautiful. Both are such strong characters and you see how well they fit together. They both have such strength but I really enjoyed how Lucian really is firm and stands on his own and is willing to stand and fight for their marriage.

If you are a fan of mafia romance, then this is definitely a story that you need to look into reading as I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed.
