Slick's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 Being a big fan of both Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde, I was more than a little excited when they announced they teaming up for a new series. Dirty, Sexy Saint is the first book in this series and it is flipping fantastic! I love when characters are on opposite end of the social spectrum, when one has preconceived notions of the other one and when the attraction is so thick from the moment they meet that you can feel it engulfing you as you read. Fun, sexy, entertaining and with just enough drama to make it interesting but not so much as to drag the story down Dirty, Sexy Saint is a book you should be reading right now. 
 Rather than be shackled in a loveless marriage to a man her parents feel are a good match, socialite Samantha Jamieson leaves her family's home and heads straight into a whole new world. Getting drunk in a bar on the wrong side of town probably wasn't her best idea, but bar owner Clay "Saint" Kincaid knows he can't let the "Cupcake" out of his sight for fear she'll end up with someone less honorable than him and given his dirty thoughts he knows that's a real possibility. 
 There was much I loved about this story including the hard working bar owner who really didn't need to work but did so as a way of honoring the man who taught him so much about life, responsibility and giving back to others less fortunate. Given his horrendous childhood and teen years, Clay could have ended up a criminal or worse than that dead but instead he made a life not only for himself but for his two younger brothers as well. On the other hand you have Samantha who has been handed everything on a silver platter her whole life but the older she gets she realizes she wants her own life, her own career and most of all she wants to love a man who will lover her back fiercely. I admired her for chucking everything even knowing life would not be easy and while there is no doubt she got lucky finding Clay, she proved from day one that she was made of sterner stuff than anyone gave her credit for and she was intent on paying her own way and making something of her life on her own. I really admired her grit and determination and respect that while she allowed Clay to help her she also paid him back as soon as she could. I also loved that despite her upbringing and the prejudices forced upon her by her parents, Samantha didn't look down on anyone she met and instead embraced her new friends and her situation head on. 
 The banter and flirting between them was so sexy and even when Clay was trying to dissuade her advances it only turned her on more which really was quite humorous in that it only made Clay's want for her more. I love that she forced the physical contact between them (not like in a bad way but made it hard for him to say no) and that she not only got everything she wanted out of the experience but she gave as good as she got. Not going to lie, I could have used a cigarette or two after their scenes and I don't smoke! 
 From beginning to end, I loved everything about this book but especially how truly selfless both of these characters were proving just how right they were for one another. Fun and flirty but also dirty and raunchy with some powerful emotions as well, Dirty Sexy Saint is a well written and scintillating romance.
