I loved how crazy the H was for the h from the start but I can't say I enjoyed the direction the book went in. I hate separations in my books and we have a 7 year separation in this one. I also didn't like the decisions the h made and just wish things had been a little different. That was super vague and if you want spoilers (view spoiler)[The h has a very abusive father and he beats her up weekly and once she ends up in the hospital and soon after that she gets addicted to heroin and loses the [...]

Original Review @ Naomi’s Reading Palace3.5 StarsI picked up Saint Nicholas when it was on sale during the month of its release. I must admit, the cover drew me in and I thought it sounded ok in the description, so I 1-clicked it! The story was pretty fast paced and was a bit of a difficult adventure. It touches on some difficult issues like abuse and drug use and how it can tear families and relationships apart.The story was told in four parts, and I was able to get the perspectives of both N [...]

This is one heartbreaking book. I don't often cry when I read books but this one had me. Jamie is a new romance author and if his next books are written as good or better than this, he definitely has a future in romance. I wanted to hate Nicholas for keeping her secret, but I understand that he had to keep Sarah's trust. I hated his mom even more for most of the book. Sarah's father was beyond redemption if you ask me.This book has all of the elements I look for in a romance novel: young blossom [...]

3.5 StarsRead during the ShhMale Authors in Erotica event.Saint Nicholas is on sale for just $0.99 and it does not disappoint."Who was I to question a young girl’s attractions, even if it was to someone who was as damaged as I was?"Sarah Danniels is the girl that goes by unnoticed; she goes to school, she goes home, and she tries to do what her father asks of her. Nicholas Rossi, Saint Nicholas to his friends, has stepped up as the man of his household, helping take care of both his mom and yo [...]

This was my first time reading a book by Jamie Deschain and boy did it pack a punch (no pun intended). I used the text-to-speech feature on my Kindle and listened to this gut wrenching story while at work and several times I had to stop work and focus on the storyline because some things hit close to home and I wanted my attention on this young couple dealing with grown up problems. Saint Nicholas is a lovely debut book where characters learn about themselves, gain strength, and transform over t [...]

An amazing debut novel filled with undeniable emotion and angst and the kind of love we all dream about.It's a story of abuse, friendship, love, pain and acceptance.A must read. Congrats on your debut.

@ 44% I'm going to have to shelf this one The h is bout to become an heroin addict and start jonesing and doing crazy shit to score. I ain't got time to read that shit, when I can drive downtown and see it. I wanted fictional romance not junkies and rehab.

Very good story. Yes, I ugly cried. This book will do thatLY! CRY! It unleashed so many emotions and held me so captive that I didn't watch any football Sunday, and during football season that's unheard for me. Read this book because everyone needs a good cleansing cry every once in a while. Good for the soul. Makes you realize how human you are. Luckily as much as it breaks you down, bares your soul, unleashes your deepest emotions, and grips your heart in a vice grip, it will then turn and put [...]

Floored!There is something about reading a love story where the only thing that gets in the way is life. No lies, cheating, scheming or those other outside forces that make everyone miserable. JustLIFE. I LOVED this book. Everyone deserves a Nicholas Rossi in their life. What an amazing character to experience. A strong lead character with an amazing heart. It helps that he was good looking toolol What can I say about Sarah? Her life was hard. I mean, really hard. But, she is strong. I admired h [...]

Unexpected Twists And TurnsI went into this book blind. This was a new author and I had no expectations one way or another. It had some dark moments in the first half of the book and I quickly realized this was no run of the mill love story. Nicholas and Sarah met when they were 16 years old and lived in Hells Kitchen. It was love at first sight but Sarah was hiding a terrible home life which eventually tore them apart.This is a story about second chances, forgiveness, pain, heartbreak and big l [...]

This is a unique story that I really wanted to like - but I just didn't. *sigh* There are some things going on in the story that I just didn't like AT ALL, and they made it difficult for me to get into the relationship between Nicholas & Sarah. I typed that first paragraph out & my stars were at 2.5. And then I decided to go back to about 60% and read again to see if I could get some different feelings. As I said, this story is unique. The way Nicholas comes back into Sarah's life was re [...]

SNSBAH Rating: 4.0~~~~~~~~~~Shar's ★★★★ Review~~~~~~~~~~Sarah and Nicholas meet as teenagers and end up going through a ton of ups and downs together and apart. Growing up in Hell's Kitchen can be tough to begin with but add in coming from a broken home and that's where the difficulty gets harder. This is a story less about romance and more about the struggles of growing up and becoming the person you want to be. Character development was good. I really found myself liking both of the ma [...]

I absolutely loved Saint Nicholas. This story brought me to a lot of tears and so many unleashed emotions. Saint Nicholas is a beautiful love story, it's about second chances, pain, heartache, forgiveness ( that was a hard one for me to get pass on the forgiveness part of the story) and strong love bond that's meant to be between to beautiful couple Nicholas and Sarah. What Sarah went through was heartbreaking, her life was hard without a doubt but I admired her strength, willingness and strong [...]

Saint Nicholas is so damn swoon worthSarah is going through hell. She has a rough life and one day she meets Nicholas. Everything changes and she's happy but her hell is about to get worse. Sarah is on a downward spiral. Nicholas can't do it anymore, he can't let her waste away in front of him. Years have passed and while one was getting better stronger, the other was in a darkness because of a lie that was told to him. All it took was a FB message to start the light shining on both their lives. [...]

Rollercoaster of emotions!Best book in a very long time. I think the story of Sarah and Nicholas surprised me by heading in a different direction than I thought it was going every time I got my feelings with them settled. Great characters with a fantastic storyline ! Amazing new author! Really looking forward to experiencing everything yet to come ( and with Jamie you can't be sure )

This was exactly the book I was thinking it would be .I liked it, but will I re-read it again no. It did not stand out to me. There were some moments I just wanted to skip because it became a little boring. I did love the relationship the H and H had The Cover (While hot, I def appreciate a hot half naked guy ;)) and the blurb for me were a little deceiving it is not a gritty and angsty as I believed it to be

What a great debut novelWhat a great story!! Nicholas oh maaaaaan do I want a Nicholas in my life. The story of Nicholas and Sarah was beautiful and raw. I can't wait to see what else is this new author has in store for us.

Ok so I really liked this however I thought it could have been an epic read Imo.I thought what wAs written was great but had the book gone into more detail about her life during those years and maybe even had a little bit more back story would hAve made this book amazing. But just my opinion
