Dirty Saint

Melissa J (Book Addicts Reviews)

Dirty Saints is my first book from Tabatha. While it is the second book in this series, it can easily be read as a standalone. But just be prepared to buy the first one after reading this one, if you don't already own it.

I truly enjoyed Saint and Tori's story. Tabatha allowed their relationship to flow naturally and let things to play out as true to life as possible.

Saint isn't one to wallow in his feelings, even when those feelings try to force their way through the walls he's built. He's moved on from the past but when Tori shows up after over ten years, in a place he never expected, everything and more comes flooding back.

Tori has done everything she can to keep herself afloat and give her younger sister a life she never was given the chance to have. Tori's focus is her sister and nothing else; it's truly all she has anymore. She finds herself in a rare moment doing something because she knows it will make her sister happy - doing something besides working herself to the bone. And the one night she finally lets herself be a bit free, she runs into the one man who ruined her life - Koah Saint.

Let me tell you that you are not ready for the ride that Tabatha takes you on. I loved the thrill this book delivers. There are so many ups and downs, back and forth with lots of HOT action between all these pages. While there are certain parts that I feel needed fleshed out better, it did not take away from the overall flow and plot of this story.

I loved the banter and the friendships between the boys. Tabatha did a great job of just letting these characters share their story in their own way. The inner monologues were great and allowed readers to understand each character's decisions and/or actions more. And I LOVED that she showed readers everything and not just tell us how things played out.

It does have some dark undertones, but they are very mild but please know that there are some triggering scenes that not all readers can handle.

Highly recommend this book (and series). And you know I am thoroughly hooked when I purchased the first book because I need more of these guys!

This is book two of the “Sons of Sinister” and can be read as a stand alone.

Two broken families. Two broken souls. Two sisters. Two friends. One explosive love story.

Holy shit!! Book One blew my mind. Now this book. OMG. Amazing. There was a twist at about 75% that broke me. I was devastated and mind blown the author could even go there. It definitely hurt but I can see why it happened for story sake.

I am so obsessed with the Sons Of Sinister and can not wait for Joker and Crow’s book. But beyond that I am in love with Saint! He went through hell and fought back. In the end he got the girl. Tori has fought for so long and so hard. My heart broke for her so many times. I love her and how strong she is. She is the definition of struggle. Put these two together and it’s explosive! They were always meant for each other.

I am a HUGE fan of enemies to lovers and if done right I glide right through. I read this book in one day. I’m sad I did because I am not ready for it to be over. Saint and Tori are definetly #goals!! The author did an amazing job setting up the scenery, developing some pretty amazing characters, giving an amazing back story, and keeping this book flowing beautifully.

Get ready for one hell of a ride!

TW: rape, molestation/rape of children, death, grief, depression, blood, violence.

Honestly this felt like a copy and paste of the first book the MC's are so back and forth, hot and cold. 2 steps forwards 3 steps back type thing... Sadly It didn't work out for me... probably won't continue this series.

Dirty Saint is the second book in an interconnected MC romance series, this was my first read of this author and I absolutely loved this story. As soon as I know a book is an MC romance, I am immediately there no questions asked and this book was no different. I really enjoyed the plot of this book and loved these characters.

✨Cushin Violeta's Bookish Realm✨(Claudia Cardoz)

Dirty Saint by Tabatha Vargo is book two in her Sons of Sinister series but each book is a standalone. Set in the menacing world of drug dealing and bike racing, the author gives us an enemies to lovers romance between Koah Saint and Victoria ‘Tori’ Walsh. It is a story which will pull at your heartstrings as you experience a rollercoaster of emotions due to their shared pasts. After years of hate and anger, which they have both kept inside, these two broken characters unexpectedly reunite. It is a complicated tale involving secrets and lies, hate and love, loss and grief, betrayal and blame, shame and guilt. When all the truths are finally revealed will they be torn apart or can they survive as the past comes back to haunt them.

Ten years ago Tori had her life ripped apart when her father was sent to prison for a crime he did not commit. When placed in foster care, she and her sister were spilt up. Tori had an awful time but managed to survive till she could get Gracie back. She’s now working long hours and goes without as she struggles to give Gracie a better life. To Tori there is only one person to blame, the one who took everything away from her- Koah Saint, her childhood friend.

Koah Saint, moved from Hawaii to Georgia after a horrific family tragedy. His Aunt was engaged to Tori’s father so they lived together and grew close until the court case. Now he is one of the four Sons of Sinister who run the city. Women love them and men want to be them. He is a drug dealing biker and the bad boy of The Strip, with a playboy reputation and boyish charm.

Gracie wants Tori to start living her life because she is working herself to death. Tori is persuaded by Sadie to go on girls night out to watch the bikes racing at The Strip. She is shocked to see Koah, the evil guy who ruined her life by lying. She despises and hates him because she lost everything thanks to him. When their eyes meet he scowls at her and she feels his rage at seeing her. All their past demons rush to the surface at seeing each other again.

What happens next is a push and pull relationship as they fight the connection and chemistry between them. There are valid reasons for why they hate each other but could they throw caution to the wind and tell each other the truth about their pasts and what really happened, knowing it would hurt them both again. She is confused as he switches from being dangerous and bad, then is sweet and makes her feel safe. Neither can believe how or why they respond to the other and make each other forget all the bad things in their lives. One minute they are friends then suddenly lovers. However, there are risks to overcome by being together.

Koah knows she doesn’t belong in his world and he needs to keep her safe and not ruin her life again. He doesn’t feel he is good enough for her so is shocked that he is willing to do anything for her. I loved the little things he did to try and make her life easier. Will she ever want a life with him and could he do what she needs him to do for that life? Tori isn’t used to someone looking after her and is worried she would destroy him by staying with him. Being in love scares them so can they stay together after all the dark secrets come to light.

I was cross at first at their lack of communication but then I realised they had never told anyone what they had been through so there was no way they knew how to talk to each other about their trauma. Then being together brought new experiences and feelings for them to cope with so I understood their reticence to open up. The book does cover some very serious issues so do read the TW’s. It was lovely catching up with Skull and Everly; she was a great friend to Tori and really helped her cope with everything that happens. I adored Crow and Joker was an intriguing guy so I’m looking forward to the next book.

Oh my... I need a minute after reading this mayhem filled ride that has left me feeling oh so emotional because of how much I connected to the characters and then what happened has left me needing a minute.

This is the second book in the Sons of Sinister series and let me tell you it was definitely one of my highly anticipated MC Romances because I was a fan of the first book in this series and I'm head over heels in love with Aiken and Everly's story.

Saint rides his bikes and lives his life dangerously. He and his friends own the Strip, where eveyone comes to party and when he sees a old enemy, the one girl he was friends with but turned foe, he's beyond agitated to see her.
But also Saint starts hating the fact that Tori awakens a yearning in him that he's never felt before.

I have to say this one was also written in typical Ms. Vargo fashion where our hero might seem like not redeemable and oh so bad but he also has a past that when we find out, will leave you feeling wrecked for him and will make him more than redeemable in what he does.

Then there's Victoria aka Tori, such a hard working girl and I had to give it to her for her being so tired as she works endlessly and yet doing everything in her power to provide for her little sister.

Tori hates Koah Saint like nothing else as he's the man responsible for ruining her life and taking everything from her including her family and the good life they would have had.
It's because of him, she's had wounds that will always be there no matter what.

I was really shocked and so hurt for both Tori and Saint as they didn't deserve what was meted out to them but shaped them into who they are today.

I was oh so touched for the little sweet things that Saint does for Tori, as knowing that he couldn't outright help her.
I really melted for how he went about it and tried to be there for Tori in his own genius way.

We are taken into a rough and wild ride along with Saint and his friends, Crow and Joker who are also equally crazy especially Joker and they live their life on the edge of their seats.
But never did Saint expect a girl like Tori would come and wreak havoc on his carefully constructed life and dig out all his past secrets and hurts, leaving him unable to handle the intensity and barrage of feelings and emotions that she makes him feel.

That ending.... Ahh... I have to say it was bittersweet and I was oh so affected by everything that goes down.
But my heart is happy that the most deserving people, Saint and Tori get their chance at happiness together. ❤️

This is a story that stepped on the gas pedal from the very first sentence and didn't let up until the end. It's a whirlwind of action and emotions, characters that were put through the wringer, and triggers that might be difficult to read about but made for an unforgettable story. It's a story that pulls at your heartstrings and has you holding on for dear life through all the highs and lows. It satisfies while leaving you clamoring for the next installment.

Koah Saint and Tori Welsh have a complicated connection, making for a childhood of pain and anger that puts them at odds with one another. A childhood of evilness and abuse binds Saint and his two friends, leading to an event that changes Tori's life irrevocably. For both, the fallout of that event leads to anger and pain and doing anything to survive. I admire both for surviving the childhoods they had, even with the sometimes questionable choices made by Saint. Saint's childhood was truly awful, heartbreaking, so it was understandable that he chose a more gritty path to adulthood. Though his actions weren't always heroic, he was definitely a hero just for surviving. Tori's life had her carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, barely making ends meet to keep her and her sister alive and well. Saint and Tori have always been a combustible pairing, but slowly Saint started to prove himself her champion. With each turn of the page hate morphed into something stronger, something built on the foundation of past pain in a sweet and sensual journey to HEA. Theirs was a journey of twists and turns, hurt and healing, and it kept me glued to their journey to HEA.

This was a fast-paced read with larger than life characters, characters who weren't just black and white in their actions. They were perfectly imperfect characters who pushed all of my emotional buttons as I hurt with each hurt they endured and smiled with their rare moments of joy. Just when you think they're heading to happiness, the story takes a dramatic turn that had me screaming before things were made right in a bittersweet ending. With the turn of the final page I'm left satisfied but more than ready to jump back into this gritty world. I'm now left impatiently waiting for Joker and Crow to tell their story, stories that will be emotionally raw and require lots of tissues.

✨ I received this book as an ARC for my honest review✨

“Dirty Saint,” the second installment in the Sons of Sinister series, stands strong as a standalone. Despite being part of a series, the story and the concluding moments filled me with joy, tears, and contentment. Saint and Tori’s story unfolds seamlessly, offering a captivating enemy-to-lovers dynamic. The slow-burn romance, laced with angst between Koah (Saint) and Tori, develops steadily, although some moments felt a bit slow. As the story progresses towards the end, memories of the boys racing bikes, I found myself eagerly flipping pages to discover the unfolding events.

This book is a rollercoaster of emotions. The characters and the plot drew me in and immersed me in their world keeping me on edge the entire time.
The two tortured souls find solace in each other’s arms after putting their past behind them once they find each other again. The story is filled with danger, excitement, surprises, love, passion, forgiveness, pain, sacrifices, and a plot twist that I never saw coming.

Koah, Saint, a motorcycle-riding bad boy, has more to him than meets the eye. His story is just like Tori’s, heart-wrenching. Through their journey realize they have more in common and make each other feel alive again. Tori, bravely raising her teenage sister, loses herself in the process but proves that she is a survivor. I enjoyed Tori’s character, and witnessing how strong she is. Tori is a brave, strong, and determined who I admire from the beginning.

Childhood friends turned enemies, their connection faces challenges of secrets and betrayals. Yet, being together restores their broken souls, helping each other heal from past pain. Overcoming obstacles, their bond prevails, making their story truly uplifting.

This author is a first for me. However, the genre is not.

We are introduced to Saint and Tori. Two characters whose relationship just flows, and with the authors expert writing, she let their story play out parallel to realistic events as possible.

Our MMC Saint, doesn’t do feelings, even when those who impose on his life and force themselves through the tough exterior that he has built around himself. Saint needed to do this in order to move on from his past, but that all changes when Tori comes back into his life, in the most unexpected place, and now he has to come face to face with everything he worked so hard to put behind him.

Our MFC Tori puts the needs of her sister first before her own. Her only focus is her sister. She has sacrificed many comforts to keep herself afloat. But there comes a time where Tori needs to do something for herself, knowing it will make her sister happy, happy that she is able to have one night for herself, without any responsibilities and unfortunately it puts her on the path that she can’t change, bringing her face to face with Saint, the man who ruined her life.

Readers, be prepared to be taken on a thrilling ride. This book delivers everything and more. Twists and turns, ups and downs, backs and forth, so much so your head will spin between the pages. However, it will give the readers an understanding of each of the characters, their decisions, and actions.

If you love enemies to lovers, high steam and action, an MC bad boy, and dark subject matter, then this book is for you.

Highly recommend both the author and the book.

I received an ARC. Therefore, I am submitting a voluntary review.

Tabatha is a force in the enemies to lovers, revengeful drama between a hero fallen on criminal times and heroine who struggles and survives.
This book fulfills the promise of being a thrilling ride. when engines Rev, so do hearts. When pipes roar, so do passions. A race to finish becomes the race against fallen fates and the hero needs to turn nitro to drive faster than the devil on his heels.
Saint becomes Dirty when he sees how his life and his best pals' lives are ruined by Lorne Walsh. He abused these young boys to sate his heinous paedophiliac tendencies.
They take it upon themselves to construct a convoluted plot to kill two birds with one stone and send Lorne to is demise.
But the collateral damage claims Victoria and her sister Grace as their victims.
Both hate each other for ruining their lives.
Tabatha makes them redeem but after a lot of twists that leave readers mouths agape.
It's an adrenaline filled, speedy race that sets pulses racing. Hard to put down and even harder to forget.
4 stars for Saint On His Knees

This current read is on the darker side and there may be triggers for others so be aware but, this tale was very compelling and highly emotional.

Two tortured souls find themselves once again their path is rocky but, both find solace in the arms of one another after putting their pasts behind them. There was a plot twist that we never saw coming. This story keeps you on edge the entire time it is filled with danger, excitement, surprises, love, passion, forgiveness, pain, and sacrifices.

Tori was a character who was brave, strong, and determined and in her pain and due to her losses she lost herself along the way but, it seems someone has sparked something within her once again. Saint's story is heartwrenching and so was Tori's through their journey and finding that they had more in common than either realized. Perhaps they forged some kind of bond, but will it survive the secrets and betrayals to come?

The characters were great they were scary and dark and lived on the edge including Saint. We saw a lot of Skull and Everly throughout the story and we loved that Everly is such a sweetheart. The chemistry between Tori and Saint was awesome and beautiful you could even say explosive together.

We enjoyed the story and loved it. The emotional parts went straight to the heart of the reader. The dirty gritty dark bits were exciting. The twists and turns of the unexpected we loved being on this couple's journey the good bits and the sad bits it was one wild ride.

Tori is a young woman, carrying the weight of the past and the future for her and her little sister on her shoulders. Life has been difficult, work, bills and making sure Gracie gets the education she deserves, the struggle never ends, and its all his fault.. Him!! why oh why is he suddenly in her sights again!!
Saint, Racer, drug dealer, dangerous, gorgeous, hot. His life was ruined by her father, why is she here on his turf???? She brings all the bad memories and the anguish, she has got to go!!!

OMG i loved this book, Saint and Tori were explosive, despite their shattered pasts they were both survivors and they were drawn together like moths to a flame. Their story is raw and gritty, emotional and dark spicy love.
This story may have triggers for some, abuse, guns, drugs but these are not the main details and dealt with very delicately. This story is about surviving, healing, learning and growing. Each of these characters will leave you in awe. Their blooming relationship, their loyalty, their friendships, their truths kept me so invested I just couldn't put this book down.
I didn't think and of the sons could outdo Skull but I was wrong!!and now I am even more anxious for the next book!!!
A Totally enthralling read from beginning to end with characters that you readily accept into your heart !!

Top read of the year!!! Yeah, I know it's only February but I'm calling it now that this one is going to stay at the top of my list! I loved this story!!! Koah and Tori were heartbreakingly beautiful together and their story held such deep emotional turmoil.

I have been waiting for Koah's story since Shattered Skull released. I grew up in Hawaii and love when stories feature Hawaiian characters, especially if they are hot, bad boy, motorcycle riders. There is just something extra hot about a local boy! I felt such a connection to him and instantly fell in love. His traumatic and tragic backstory just destroyed my heart.

I really felt for Tori. What an amazingly strong and resilient soul she was. She didn't deserve so much agony but she handled it with so much resolve to be a better person. She was a great character and a amazing match for Koah.

I loved loved loved all the angst and tension! I was glued to the pages. It was so well done and I absolutely couldn't put it down. I loved these characters so much and was so invested in their story. It does deal with some heavy topics so check the triggers before reading. It is a dark and gritty story but at its heart it is swoony and romantic. It was absolutely captivating and I would give it all the stars if I could! I would very highly recommend it!!!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

Koah Saint belongs to a group called the Sons of Sinister. In the town they live in those guys rule to streets and everyone knows not to mess with them. At the strip all the ladies are all over him and he wins all the races. Tori is a girl who is only trying her best to survive in the world. She is trying to take care of her sister and works herself to the bone every day. She wants her to have better than she did and hope that their time in foster care hasn't stained her soul and she goes to college and gets out of their hometown. Her sister always wants Tori to go out and when she does finally give in to go with her friend to the strip the moment she sees Saint she knows that she shouldn't have come. They hate each other. He put her father behind bars. He also has a past with her father that Tori knows nothing about. There are secrets being kept all over the place. A hate you so much relationship that you can feel it bleeding off the pages. The push and pull between these two have you really hooked on this book and I loved both of these characters. It was also good to see the characters from the first book. Which if you have not read you really should. This was a great book and I am so glad that I got to read it.

So heartbreaking yet heartwarming at the same time. My heart broke for both our main characters, Koah ➸ aka Saint and Tori. Two kids who grew up under horrendous conditions. Tori is now an adult raising her kid sister. All Tori wants is a good life for her little sis no matter the cost to herself. Saint runs with the Sons of Sinister bikers. These aren’t your typical bikers, they own the streets and race their bikes at “The Strip” on the weekends. These two were friends for a while during high school until both their worlds shattered, leaving them both hating one another. So now, ten years later, they run across each other and all the old hurts resurface ten-fold. But what happens when they both learn truths about each other’s past? Can they finally move on? Is a friendship between them even possible at this stage?

If you trigger easily, I would say please adhere to any warnings as this may not be an easy read for some however all situations were handled fantastically by the author. As for this reader all I can say is WOW and I loved it. The book took my heart in its hand and held on to it through ups and downs and the twists and turns. I highly recommend both book 1 and 2 in this series and this reader truly hopes there are a few more books in the works (I loved all the secondary characters as well).

“She was tougher, but shattered people were attracted to other broken things, and I was being pulled to her in a way that left me gasping.”

Oh Saint and Tori have my heart! This was my first book by Tabatha Vargo and I am blown away. It had so much raw emotion and perfectly captured Saint and Tori’s story. My heart ached for what they went through as children.

Tori and Saint had known each other when they were children, only to be pulled away from each other due to horrendous circumstances. Saint was out on the streets and Tori, in and out of foster care. Their paths crossed again years later. Saint harbored such guilt when it came to Tori and how his choices affected her life. Tori hated Saint for his role in how her life had turned out. Once the whole truth comes out, the two of them start healing each other. One terrible twist near the end had me wondering…will their love be able to survive?

This book was beautifully written. Alllll the stars.

Looking forward to Joker’s story.

Thank you to Tabatha Vargo and Wildfire Marketing Solutions for the ARC of this book.

Koah Saint and Tori Walsh’s lives have forever been changed by the past that still haunts them and the pain that never lets them go. Tori absolutely loathes Koah for the lies he told that upended her entire life and years later that resentment has never burned out, but when their lives begin to cross again secrets are starting to come to light and the darkness that destroyed Koah brings Tori to her knees. Their story isn’t easy as they both have a lot of demons to overcome and life keeps knocking them down, but when their truths are told will they be able to walk away as only friends or go against everything and everyone that is keeping them apart and find their happily ever after? My heart hurt so much for both of them because of all that was endured, and the pain left a mark on me as I read. Koah deserves nothing but happiness and yet the darkness tries to consume him and keep him down until Tori. This was a beautiful story with some very real traumas and the author took those and made us feel so much for the characters and anyone dealing with them. I loved how through each other they were able to navigate the pain and help see each other through and man Joker is going to be a wild story that I know will knock me to my knees.

Tori and Saint truly come from broken families. The fallout that came with it was detrimental to their relationship. Saint is responsible for Tori’s father going to prison and leaving her and her sister to fend for themselves. Tori is a young woman that would give her last shirt to you if you were cold. She was strong and sometimes too strong for her own good. And the one person she couldn’t get enough of was the one she hated with a burning passion and that was Saint. But the hate wasn’t one-sided. Our MMC has a lucrative business and he loves his motorcycles. But what really struck me was that he probably had one of the saddest backstories I have ever read about. The relationship between him and Tori started off pure physical but after Tori learned something, it shifted. They started to care for each other and they went from I-can’t-stand-you to touch-her/him-and-you-die. This story was so incredibly emotional I literally shed tears for BOTH of them.

* I received an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Saint & Tori have a dark past which has definitely done some serious damage to both of them. These days Tori is working her tail off for as much money as she can to take care of her little sister while Saint is doing very well with breaking the law LOL. They come face to face after a decade, and it didn't go so well despite the fact they're actually very much drawn to each other. This story is definitely dark with a twisty kicker as these two circle each other despite them both trying to stay away from each other as the sparks were flying like crazy which brought the thunder with heat levels. The supporting cast also had their own things going which has me craving their back stories as well, not to mention all the angst that did a number on my heart. The moment I picked this book up, I was fully immersed in this world so I didn't put it down until there were no more pages, and that's all I'll say about that as it's so much better to experience it for yourselves. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

It had been a long time since i read Scattered Skull and i loved that book so to jump back into this world again i was super excited.

I loved that Skull and Everly were in this book as much as they were. This book had it all, laughter, heartbreak and a fantastic storyline. I love it when characters have known eaechother previously and come back into contact however this was not a happy story at the start.

The twist and turns this book takes are dark and not a sweet story but it was such an awesome book. I don’t want to say too much cause you need to go in blind, but what happens to Koah in his past and the struggle that Tori and Gracie have to survive made this book so heartfelt even in the dark time.

There is heartbreak that you don’t see coming and i was in pieces but this book is so worth the read, if you like MC reads, that are dark and is written perfectly then you need to pick up Koah and Tori’s book they are awesome characters and their story is fantastic.

Would recommend this book to everyone.

I didn’t realize how dark this book was until I was invested in it.

I love a good dark romance and this author delivered. She’s new to me so I wasn’t sure what to expect.

I enjoyed the push and pull of these characters but I felt so much anger at their childhoods.

Two kids who were friends as kids, then strangers and enemies in turn become lovers. Koah Saint becomes a drug dealer biker who uses substance abuse to dull the pain of his past. Victoria “Tori” is just trying to make ends meet and to make sure her sister becomes the young lady she deserves to be. Their paths crash and they’re both stubborn, not listening to each other.

Eventually they learn about secrets they’ve been keeping and their relationship takes form on its own. They start looking out for each other and start learning to love one another.

There’s:
🖤angst
🖤spice
🖤trauma
🖤bikers
🖤substance abuse

I enjoyed this read. I’d like to get the first book in the series to get a feel of all the different Sinners. I’m looking forward to Joker’s book

This is the second book in this incredible series, and this is Koah Saint, and Tori’s journey.
Tori hates Saint as he is the reason that her dad is where he is, and she is left struggling to survive and keep her head above water for her sister and herself. Both characters are haunted by the past, but they are both survivors, and are drawn to each other regardless.
This is a well written action packed, emotional roller coaster, with angst, family, friendships, drama, revenge, tension, intrigue, guilt, revelations, loyalty, redemption, witty banter, survival, healing, violence, enemies / lovers, danger, suspense, and love, which leads to an entertaining, tragic, twisted, unpredictable and steamy thrilling page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Dirty Saint is the second book of Sons of Sinister Series by Tabatha Vargo. This is the first book that I have read by the author and I am looking forward to reading the rest of this series. This is standalone book however they are interconnected. This book is on the darker side and has a really good plot with a twist that takes you by surprise. Tori (MFC) is trying to find herself while caring for her sister Gracie. She is trying to move past her hurts and pains while trying to do everyday life. Saint (MMC) is a drug dealer who has a past the crosses with Tori. Both of they have secrets and people who have betrayed them. However, the chemistry between Tori and Saint is EXPLOSIVE. This story will pull on your emotions but it is a wild ride.
