A story where rebirth and redemption cannot occur without laying the demons of the past to rest.

This book follows the first and second, so I recommend reading the series in sequence. The focus shifts on different characters, and their stories overlap.

This is book three of a tragic love story where the past and future alike can be haunted by one's demons, as well as their angels. Facing both will bring true rebirth, a strong theme in this story.

This story follows a MMC that is tainted, desperate to be loved and to love in peace, escaping his demons and past once and for all. He cannot live for his future while being pulled into his past. The FMC is innocent, steadfast in her devotion to a boy that no longer exists. She cannot forget her past to live for her future.

This is a deep and beautiful story of complex characters that complement each other and struggle through their past to be reborn into their beautiful future.

My Rating: ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Disclaimer: I received a review copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily.

General Thoughts: I was very curious to see how the author was going to make us like Damian after book 2, but I shouldn't have worried. She more than succeeded in making me like Damian.

This book like the others in the interconnected series has dual timelines. This one bounces back and forth more than some of the others between the timelines, but it works. It starts with 14-year-old Damian and Lili and shows how their relationship grew. It does spend a lot of time on the relationship between Riona and Damian and the dissolution of it. It helps explain why Damian did what he did.

The pacing in the last few chapters may have been a tad rushed as did the relationship between Lili and Damian. BUT I really enjoyed this one. Lili and Damian were interesting characters and the author did a great job weaving an interesting story. This story focuses more on the main characters than some of the other ones in this series, but I didn't mind.

If you're looking for a contemporary romance with a hint of a dark romance, hints of mafia/cartel, and hints of mystery, this is a great one. I can't wait to read more by the author.

Steam Meter: ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥.5 Not the most graphic or frequent steam but definitely there. 18+.

“All My Wrongs” by Diana Nixon 


I read the “Saint No More series” within a week. I got hooked. I have to admit that I was suspicious of part three. 

It seemed “out of my comfort zone”. I got used to the group of characters and suddenly there was this new “evil” added to the mix… I was so unsure how this would fit into this awesome series…but whatever… I was still going to read it, could not stop. 

I was secretly hoping that this book would focus on Frankie and Alex. I was not prepared for a book about Damian. But, and yes, there is a but coming…
SHE DID IT AGAIN! I loved the book ❤️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Synopsis: 
Damian never wanted to grow up as the sun of a drug cartel boss. On his fourteenth birthday he gets kicked out and runs away. He finds himself at an orphan for girls, where he meets Lili. They two strike up a kinship and in a way, it’s first love, even if they don’t realise it. 
Years later they have lost touch and Damian  comes back from his “death“, realising that his former girlfriend Riona has moved on. 
By chance, his and Lili’s paths cross again and he is not willing to let her go again. 

My opinion: 
Well, well, well, you have my converted from being anti Damian to actually liking the guy. 
We get different timelines from the POV of Damian and Lili. I realised that Damian is not all as bad as he seems. The timeline jumps from the present to glimpses of the past. There is repetition, a lot of the things we know from book two, but it’s done in a way that is not boring for the reader. 

As always, Diana comes up with fabulous characters that have depth and are able to grow. I love that they are able to overcome their flaws. Did I know how this story would end? Yes. Did I mind it? Not at all. I am glad that Damian got his redemption arc. There is so much growth in these stories. There is love, loss, grief and also redemption . Plus of course we get to meet our friends from the previous books. 

So far this has been an amazing series. I am so glad i got to read it. ❤️

But I really, really hope that we will get to read about Frankie and Alex.
