My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I hate sports, and he is football royalty. I like quiet and predictable, but he’s sex and swagger personified. I didn’t particularly care for Saint Stevenson the first moment I laid eyes on him, but his warped brain seemed to process our initial meeting as foreplay.
I have a meticulous five year plan in place for myself and my career, but now this huge, cocky, self-absorbed quarterback who I’ve been assigned to at work is seriously f*cking it up.
He’s the ultimate player on and off the field, and it doesn’t make any sense that I’m falling hard and fast for the arrogant baller; but there doesn’t seem to be anything about our love story that makes any sense at all.
Saint
Short but cute sports romance!

The Hero: Saint (a.k.a. Gunslinger) – he is a 6’5” professional football quarterback. He was a shining star in college, won most of his games, won the Heismann trophy and was a first-round draft pick. Though since then he has been playing on team that loses much more than it wins. He is cocky and blames it on his teammates, saying he can’t win without his team backing him up. The defense doesn’t stop the other team and he doesn’t get enough time to throw the ball. He can’t wait until he is a free agent and can move to a better team.
The heroine: Sabrina – she works in the financial industry in New York, her company specializes in managing the financial portfolios of people in the music industry which she loves. She has had a crush on one of her co-workers since he started there over three years ago, but he doesn’t see her as anything but a co-worker.
The Story: a while ago on a company retreat after embarrassing herself in front of her crush who just started at the company, Sabrina went to the bar to get some dutch courage to talk to him again and ended up getting sloppy drunk. Saint met Sabrina at the bar that night and thought she was attractive even though she was talking about her crush on her co-worker. He ended up walking her to her room and putting her to bed. Three years later, he sees her again at a restaurant and decides he wants her.
Saint hires Sabrina’s company to manage his millions and they open a sports division, giving Sabrina his account since that was the only way he would sign the contract. So, despite hating football and athletes, she is stuck with him. I did like the premise though it seemed to take a while to get to it. I liked that Saint was so cocky at first but learns that he has to rely on himself and has to step up and take charge of his own destiny, if he wants his teammates to step up and protect him on the field.
This book was told in dual narration and was narrated by Jeremy York and Hayden Bishop. Jeremy York is a good narrator, though not one of my favorites. I think the voice should have been deeper for such a big man like Saint. I had the opposite problem with Hayden, her voice was too deep for my liking. She kinda reminded me of Emma Stone except for hers was even a bit deeper than Emma. Though it was scratchy like Emma’s voice, so it kept reminding me of Emma.
