The Sainthood series is complete with Siobhan Davisβs Reign. And it is a wild, wild ride. Siobhan Davis is one of those authors who throws everything at you in her stories, and it keeps you grabbed in its grasp. Page after page of action, violence, $ex, and intrigue draw you in deeper to this story. If youβve been reading the trilogy, thankfully, you get respite from the constant terror of Sinner. However, before you get that respite, Davis treats you to an edge-of-your-seat erotic thriller that results in the happy ending perfect for Harlow, Saint, Galen, Caz, and Theo. Every moment of this book burrows deep and makes you hold your breath, hoping they will all make it out in the end. This is Davisβs superpower: her ability to invest you in stories that seem awful and violent. You ache for the torment of her characters, but it drives you forward. Even more, the men of her stories seem so difficult to love until they are. The Saint, Galen, Caz, and Theo of book one of this series ARE NOT the men of book 3, and this is only possible with a strong, insightful, careful heroine such as Harlow. Her ability to stand toe-to-toe with them ameliorates Davisβs heroes, and itβs glorious.
Look, you might not think bully romance or romance with a dark side is your thing, but you can trust that Siobhan Davis will engage you in her Sainthood series. When you are done, you will feel as though youβve run a marathon, but the bliss at the end will make the journey satisfying. If you like romance with an edge, grab Siobhan Davisβs Reign. Make sure youβve read the first two books, though.
In love and romance,
Professor A
