I've read a little bit of both Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde and enjoyed what they put out so to find out that they had teamed up to write a book definitely peaked my interest and Dirty Sexy Saint definitely does not disappoint. It is quite smexy, Saint Clay does NOT disappoint, but there is so much more that it made for a great, fun and even emotional read with characters that are interesting and likeable to the point that I had a difficult time putting it down. 
 Clay, Saint Clay is that and more, though he doesn't ever see it that way. He is most definitely a large and in charge, brooding alpha male who keeps people, with the exception of a few, at a distance. But even with the distance he is that guy that helps people out without being asked and without ever expecting any sort of thanks in return. His past, which he believes doesn't make him a saint and still haunts him though he tries his damnedest to pretend it doesn't, is one that has actually made him more compassionate to those who truly are in need and just need a helping hand to get back on their feet. 
 There is a lot I could say about Samantha, but then I'd be giving quite a bit away in the process. What I will say is that I liked Sam from the start. She is determined to take the bull by the horns, in more ways than one, and though she may not know exactly how to go about it once she sets her mind to it she refuses to fail. She has an ease and openness about her that draws you to her and though she may seem out of her element at times, she finds a way to make it work. 
 Their relationship starts off on a very interesting note, one that had me cringing and laughing throughout it, and then it morphs into more. The physical attraction is there. The sexual chemistry is hot, and though there are a few roadblocks in their way, they don't last all that long because determination ends up winning out. But what they have isn't only physical and as they get to know more about each other they start to like and admire the person they are at heart. 
 From the first page I was hooked and really enjoyed the pacing and flow of the story. I couldn't tell you which author wrote which part their styles blended so well. There were a couple of surprises thrown in the mix that I didn't see coming but worked really well to push the story forward as well as resolve a few issues. The characters were all well done and loved the brotherly love that flowed between Clay and his younger brothers, Mason and Levi and I can't wait to see what they have in store for them.. 
 The Bottom Line: Dirty Sexy Saint is a great start to a new and sexy series!
