Shelve Forever Wilde in Aster Valley. Made Marian. The more time I spend with him, however, the more I realize he's not as put together as he seems. And I begin to wonder Saint: After my big fat mouth gets me in trouble with a high-profile client, my boss takes away the bodyguard gig and sends me back to my hometown to give one of society's elites a few lessons at a local gym. Babysitting an antiques nerd is hardly my idea of a good time, but as soon the attractive, petite man walks into the workout center, I nearly trip over my own feet.
He's effing adorable. And absolutely scared to death. He won't tell me what's spooked him, but I won't rest until I find a way to take the fear out of his gorgeous eyes.
Even if defending Augie means I have to stop protecting my own heart. His Saint is the fifth book in the Forever Wilde series but can be read out of order. Beware it includes 90k words of delicious man parts touching, grandfathers meddling, sassy siblings, cats mrrp-ing They have a very interesting and loving family. Several of the stories in this series have been really good.
But I found this story repetitive and difficult to believe. That doesn't sound very intimidating, to me. And he's attracted to a little, insecure, massively passive-aggressive antique dealer. EVERY relationship does not have to be a yin and yang scenario in order to be successful. I was waiting for Augie to grow a pair, but it never happened. Mystery and romance, humor and a wonderful opposites-attract vibe. The usual Lucy Lennox snark is found within the covers of this book and all 27 emotions elicited from the reader including admiration, amusement, anger, excitement, sexual desire and plenty of romance.
The best part, the most wonderful thing are the hints of what is to come in the next book of this series because for friends of the Marians and Friends of the Wildes, anticipation tastes sweet. The Saint was an auto-buy, one-click, for me as I have a special fondness for the Marian and Wilde families and their communities created by this author. Who wouldn't? The men and women are all fun, interesting, and each is entirely unique although with, in some cases with family traits even among family members who joined through adoption or assimilation.
Reading Saint is like coming home and reconnecting with very good friends. August is a perpetually picked on young antique collector who has inherited his aunt's old country house complete with it's hidden passages and Harry Potterish under the stairs hiding space.
As a child, following the extremely traumatic death of his father, he was left with his cold, supercilious mother and family members who are business associates with little family emotion or attachment. This opportunity to have his own antique shop and his own home away from the family business looks like salvation until a series of robberies and attempts at intimidation beginning with a home invasion seemingly focused on destruction.
Augie's sister decides that he needs a bodyguard. Since he has just somewhat escaped from his mother's domination, he isn't at all in favor of having a bodyguard; someone to watch his every move and invade his privacy. Saint Wilde is a Navy SEAL no longer on active duty, who works as a bodyguard and just happens to currently be on suspension for once again letting his emotions, his mouth, rule his brain.
Sent home for a month, his only employment option during his cooling off period is to train a young man, Augie, who needs private defense lessons. Despite his highly emotional response to the idiocy of his spoiled brat pop star client, Augie has excellent intuition and something is fishy about this man's need for private defense lessons.
