Why are bad boys so good?
⠀
Meet the infamous Ross, black sheep of the family and bully extraordinaire.
I drink too much, smoke too much, screw around. I’ve hurt people, been in
and out of prison. I’m a bastard, a beast.
I’m a goddamn bundle of joy.
I mean, my own dad tried to kill me, what does that tell you?
Then again, my dad did kill my mom, so maybe it isn’t just me. Who the hell
knows.
The world sucks and I’m giving it the finger in every damn way, except…
Except there’s a girl. Pretty. Hot. Clever. She didn’t get the memo – that
she should hate me, shun me, kick me when I’m down. That the world screwed
us all over. She believes in the future – and sometimes she seems to even
believe in me.
Big mistake. I’m bad news. I made her suffer in the past, and nothing has
changed. I’m not an angel, not a saint. No good.
But for some reason I don’t get, I can’t let her go down with me. I find
myself trying to be better for her, pretending to be someone I’m not.
And if that doesn’t ring some damn big alarm bells regarding my sanity,
well… then I’m done already.

WOW!
I am in complete awe right now, and I’m trying to figure out how No Saint is the first book that I’ve read from author Jo Raven. Seriously! This book rocked, and let me tell you, I ignored everything that I needed to do. I even stayed up way too late and finished it in a day, and it was worth every yawn the following day!
No Saint tells the story of Ross and Luna, and I loved every minute of it. I have read that Ross is the half brother of Merc, Octavia, and Gigi, who are from the author’s Wild Men series. I’m not sure if it’s a benefit or not that I had no prior knowledge of Ross. I didn’t have any negative emotions coming into the story, and I’m aware that those that have read her other stories may have. Ross definitely was damaged in many ways and I think the title was incredibly fitting for him. I also understood Luna and felt for her. I have been in her situation in more than one way, so I know how she felt.
The road to ‘happily ever after’ is not always paved in gold, and it’s sometimes not paved at all. This definitely was the case for Ross and Luna. Their road was, at times, painful, rough, and rocky, but it also was beautiful and definitely steamy!
No Saint is truly unforgettable, and one of my favorite books for 2019!

Real life outside school is different. It has to be. I have to believe it.
Luna the frightened unpopular girl is gone, too. Now I am the new Luna, and
like the new moon I am in darkness until I reveal myself, reborn.
Hey, it sounds good in theory, all right? It gives me a plan, a purpose. I
can do this. Be the new me who isn’t so shy and insecure, who doesn’t go
red when someone laughs or points at her. I am good enough. I need
to believe it.
Who cares if I’m not all that pretty? I’ve brains, and smarts, and I will
make something of my life.
Once I get through this Summer, that is. And save some money. And decide
what I do next.
My cousin says I should get a degree, maybe in web design and graphics.
Move to a city, get a good job in a company. That I can do it.
My thoughts return to Ross and what my dad and Josh said about him.
That he’s still here. Hanging around. That his dad attacked him.
That’s so screwed up.
Worse still, why can’t I get him out of my mind? It’s hard to stop thinking
about him. Not only because he taunted me and tormented me—but also because
he was the sexiest, hottest guy in school.
And the world, probably.
What a pity he’s such an asshole.
