These Thorn Kisses by Saffron A. Kent

 

Release Date: December 7

Eighteen-year-old, Bronwyn Littleton is in love with a stranger she met on a summer night a year ago.

A stranger who was tall and broad in a way that made her feel safe. He had dark blue eyes that she can’t stop drawing in her sketch book. And he had a deep, soothing voice that she can’t stop hearing in her dreams.

That’s all she knows about him though.

Until she runs into him again. At St. Mary’s School for Troubled Teenagers – an all girls reform school – where she’s trapped because of a little crime she committed in the name of her art.

Now she knows that her dream man has a name: Conrad Thorne.

She knows that his eyes are way bluer and way more beautiful than she thought. And that his face is an artist’s wonderland.

But she also knows that Conrad is her best friend’s older brother. Which means he’s completely off-limits. Not to mention, he’s the new soccer coach, which makes him off-limits times two.

What makes him off-limits times three however, and this whole scenario an epic tragedy, is that, Conrad, Wyn’s dream man, has a dream girl of his own.

And he’s as much in love with his dream girl as Wyn is in love with him…

NOTE: This is a STANDALONE set in the world of St. Mary’s.

Review:

Ugh such a good book!! I am loving this series, it's a series of standalones that interconnect, but trust me you will want to read all of them. I love the characters the author creates, and the world in which they live. This book has some many tropes rolled into one, and I am here.for.it. Bronwyn we see from the beginning of the books in my darling arrow, and you get to know her a little bit, so when it was time for her book, heck yes, I couldn't get enough.
The best friends brother, teacher/student, age gap. Yes, all of it yes. The story is so character driven, and so heartfelt, you cannot help but get invested and stay invested in these characters, I mean, Conrad is no slouch, if ya catch my drift. This is a definite must read in my opinion, you won't be sorry when you meet these characters.

A Gorgeous Villain by Saffron A.Kent

 

Title: A Gorgeous Villain

A St. Mary's Rebel's Romance

Author: Saffron A. Kent

Genre: Sports Romance

Release Date: June 3, 2021

BLURB

Two years ago, Reed Jackson betrayed Calliope Thorne and broke her heart. So she stole his most prized possession – a white mustang – and drove it into the lake for revenge.

Now, Callie is stuck at a reform school while Reed is off at college, living his life without repercussions.

Until he comes back.

With him comes back all the feelings that Callie has been trying to bury: anger and heartbreak.

But most of all, desire. At the sight of his beautiful but lying lips and his gunmetal gray eyes that still taunt and smolder when he looks at her.

Whatever though. It's not as if Callie is ever going to fall for her ex-boyfriend again. Or let him corner her in a bar one night and touch her, kiss her…

Neither is she going to kiss him back. Or worse, sleep with him.

Because that would make her naïve and foolish.

Oh, and also pregnant.

And there's no way Callie is ever going to get pregnant at eighteen and with Reed's baby, no less. The guy she hates.

The guy who taught her all about heartbreak. Who might look like a gorgeous hero but really is the villain of her story.

Note: This is a STANDALONE novel set in the world of St. Mary’s. There is no cheating in this book.

Review:

Absolutely loved this book, I knew I would. After reading about Salem and Arrow, I knew this book would be a hit too, and how right I was. The writing is superb, there is no fault in the glorious telling of the tale of the good girl, meets bad boy, but with a huge twist. I feel like in someone else's hands this book would have fallen flat. The angst that the characters feel, and deal with is a great big soupy mess. The world created, is so crisp, I can see everything in my mind when I am reading this book.
Reed and Callie are miles apart even though they live in the same town, there is so much keeping them apart, and despite that, they gravitate towards each other like a moth and the flame. These two shouldn't and don't work, for quite some time. Growing needs to happen, hurts need to be soothed, they are both strong individuals. I don't want to go into details and have spoilers. This book is told in dual pov, and it's nothing short of amazing. Do yourself a favor and give this a read. It is a stand alone, in an interconnecting series, you do not have to read the first book, but honestly, why wouldn't you?!

My Darling Arrow by Saffron A. Kent

 

Release Date: September 17 

Darling Arrow,

I shouldn’t be writing this. 

It’s not as if I’m ever going to send you this letter, and there are a million reasons why.

First of all, I was sent to this reform school as a punishment for a petty, totally inconsequential crime. Not to ogle the principal’s hot son around the campus.

Second of all, you’re a giant jerk. You’re arrogant and moody and so cold. Sometimes I think I shouldn’t even like you.

But strangely your coldness sets me on fire. 

The way your athletic body moves on the soccer field, and the way your powerful thighs sprawl across that motorcycle of yours, make me go inappropriately breathless. 

But that’s not the worst part. 

The worst part is that you, Arrow Carlisle, are not only the principal’s hot son. 

You also happen to be the love of my sister’s life. 

And I really shouldn’t be thinking about my sister’s boyfriend, or rather fiancé (I overheard a conversation about the ring that I shouldn’t have).

Now if I can only stop writing you these meaningless letters that I’ll never send and you’ll never read…

Never yours,

Salem

Reviews:

My Darling Arrow is the first book in the St. Mary's Rebels series by Saffron Kent. I knew just by reading the blurb that I would like this story. Saffron is a master storyteller, and I've enjoyed every single book that she's written. But this one right here... I LOVED IT SO HARD! Told in dual perspectives. Get ready to meet Salem and Arrow.

Salem has been in love with Arrow for as long as she's known him. He is five years older. He's sexy. He's a pro soccer player. He is her legal guardian's son. But most importantly, he's her sister's boyfriend. Therefore, he is strictly off-limits. So because of this she loves him in silence from afar.

Fast forward eight years. Arrow and Salem's sister are out in LA chasing his dream, and Salem is in reform school where she has been trying to fit in. When she finds out that Arrow is back and her new soccer coach, she is in shock. Even more so when she discovers that he and her sister have broken up.

What follows is a messy, intense and steamy love story between this perfectly imperfect pair. Salem is quirky and determined to get what she wants. Arrow is a broken and broody asshole who's lost his way. Together these two make for a highly entertaining, emotional and scorching hot read. I simply can't recommend this book enough! 5 stars and so many, many more!

What an amazing book. This book is 100% character driven. There is no suspense, no twists and turns, just pure,raw human emotion. This book follows Salem(love the name) and of course Arrow, and the many secrets they have.

Salem is quirky, she is strong in her convictions and knows what she wants but shouldn’t.Arrow is a mixed bag, he’s for sure an alpha male, but boy he has his issues. The raw beauty of this book, and with how well it’s written makes you want to crawl inside the pages to live in this world the author has created.

Told in dual POV, I cannot wait for more from the secondary character as this will be a series.Mark this as a must read, I cannot recommend this book enough.

California Dreamin' by Saffron A. Kent

Release Date: May 14 

Everyone thinks Dean Collins is too old for Fallon Blackwood. Her parents, her friends, even Dean himself.

In fact, he wants her to date guys her own age. But Fallon doesn’t care about that.

All she cares about is that she can’t take his eyes off Dean, her neighbor, her best friend, the guy who taught her to ride a bike and to climb trees.

All she cares about is that sometimes Dean can’t take his eyes off her, either. And that sometimes he looks at her like he wants to kiss her.

So it doesn’t matter that he’s thirty-two and she’s eighteen.

All that matters is that they belong with each other, and she needs to convince him of that.

Good thing they’re taking a cross-country road trip together, right?

California to New York; three thousand miles and a love story in the making…

*Featuring Simon Blackwood and Graham Edwards from ‘The Heartstone Series.’ 

**This is a STANDALONE NOVELLA. It was released as a part of Mixtape Anthology. Since then, it has been revised and expanded and re-titled.

Review
This forbidden romance novella was a page-turner for me! Before starting on this, I didn't know that it was a novella. I didn't pay any attention to the cover or even the blurb. I only took notice of the author's name and knew that I couldn't pass this one up. Saffron Kent is one of my go-to authors and once again, she owned me with another AMAZING story. California Dreamin' focuses on Fallon, the daughter of Willow and Simon, who you may remember if you've read Medicine Man.

Fallon has been in love with Dean, the boy her parents took in, since the age of three. He's her best friend. He watches out for her, cares for her, protects her. In her eyes, he was born for her. The only problem? He's fourteen years older and that's too old for her. At least that's what he tells himself day after day. But now Fallon is 18, in college and tired of pining away for him. She wants to be with him, so she takes matters into her own hands. She engineers a 5 day road trip with him to finally get her feelings out in hopes that he will feel the same.

Although a quick read, I absolutely loved it. I just wish that it had been longer because I loved these characters so much. There's obviously a back story between them, and I wish we could have gotten more of that. But all in all, this was a fantastic book! If you love forbidden romance, slow-burn romance, age gap romance, palpable sexual tension, angst and heaps of heat, then this is the perfect book! Five stars for Fallon, Dean and California Dreamin'!
