Elias (West Bend Saints #1) by Sabrina PaigeReviewed by ShannonYay!! I'm so glad I stumbled on this one.. Just reading the synopsis had me 1-Clicking this one right away. There seems to be so much going on in this small town of West Bend behind the scenes and there are a lot of back stories that I want to know like NOW.. but for now let's just discuss River and Elias. River is a rags to riches Hollywood sweetheart. She was discovered at a young age and brought to Hollywood, but leaving behind the small town and poor area she grew up in doesn't change her mother and the way she was raised. Her mother is a manipulator and River has suffered a lot from the time she was young. When she's filming a reality show intro for her wedding day the last thing she plans on walking into is her Rock Star fiance' with her sister. River quickly takes off to Vegas to escape the no doubt media frenzy that is to follow this very public breakup. Elias has just been medically discharged from the Navy after losing his leg when trying to defuse a bomb. The last thing Elias wants is to head back to West Bend where he has nothing but bad memories of an abusive father. The Saint family infamous and not in a good way so Elias has done his best to stay as far away until now. When celebrating his "retirement" from the military with his friends in Vegas Elias runs into a gorgeous girl in the hallway. She looks familiar but he can't place where he's seen her. The last thing he expected the next day was a media frenzy and the girl from the hall pleading for him to help her escape. From this point it's not hard to figure out that there is some definite chemistry these two share along their road trip to West Bend. There are some really hot scenes in this one. Like for real I don't know what it is about Elias but his crass dirty mouth is super hot!! I'm giving this one 5 Stars for sure. I can't wait for Silas, Luke and Killian's books and to see what craziness is going on with West Bend. Grab this one up. Nothing exciting happened in this book.Just them having sex basically every other page. Nothing too involving with either character. Felt like stuff was glossed over a little bit.Pretty quick insta love on this one too. I felt that the thing with her ex and sister wasn't played out too well. I would have liked for them to get what was coming to them. Karma never came around. Viper was a POS. For sure. He wasn't even in the book and I disliked him so much.
What a fanatic book! This is going to be a great series. Looking forward to read the next book.
