Oh my gosh - this book got me out of my slump!! I honestly read it in one sitting, because Hardin, Kaleb and Aodhán & Becca are my new favorites. I can already see this being one of my favorite series in 2023. We get some cameos from our favorite Briar Hall characters too. This series is full of action, spice and an amazing plot!! So ready for the next one!!

Great Book!
This book was great! Good character development. The FMC was strong, but vulnerable enough to be likable. The male characters were swoon-worthy. I enjoyed the story line and the balance between the romance and the action. Will definitely read the next book in the series.
I didn’t read the author’s other series prior to this book. I read the first book in the series and decided it wasn’t for me. I think the story would make a little more sense if I’d read the full series, but it wasn’t necessary to enjoy the book.

Soulless Saint - Kings of Kilborn University #1 - Review
Couple: Becca with Caleb & Hardin St. Vincent
Author: Elena Lawson
Tropes: why choose, gang romance, dark romance, hidden identity, bully romance, RH
Review: For those who read Boys of Briar Hall, this duet is Becca’s story. We see Becca come back in a blaze of glory after she was almost killed in the pervious series. Her innate desire to prove herself wars with her desire for the St. Vincent brothers when she realizes just how intertwined they are in her past.
The book is spicy and dark since all three of them have hidden secrets and hate that they are drawn to one another. As the books unfolds we begin to understand Becca more and see how much she hides within herself. I personally loved Becca. Her growth in this first book sets the stage for the epic conclusion that is coming. I am also curious how the boys will react to her knowing Aodhan.
Caleb and Hadrin try to resist the pull to Becca at first but once the gauntlet is thrown they are slaves to it. I liked how the brothers look out for each other and realize that neither are able to stop caring for her. I also thought the way Becca’s family relation comes out was done perfectly and they way Caleb and Hadrin reacted was the BEST!
I am excited to see how they integrate Becca into their lives and am curious if she takes up a place with them in the gang. The book is mild to moderate spic but it also takes their time to develop the bonds between each man and Becca.
This is great for anyone who reads the darker and taboo romances.
Rating: 10/10, Hate to love Caleb..

Hook, line and sinker! I am a goner for Hardin and Kaleb and Elena Lawson has managed to bring me to my knees again with this new romantic suspense with enemies to lovers and slightly forbidden tropes. It is already obvious that Kings of Kilborn University will be my new favorite series with skiller cliffhangers to push me towards blinding anxiety. The Irish twist is also causing haywire in my mind, coming up with schmexy theories in my head. Soulless Saint is definitely a 5⭐️Star beginning to an amazing adventure.

This is a spin off of Boys of Briar Halls FMCs besties, Becca & how she falls for some of the Saints. I love the little cameos of other series, & as this was promoted as a ménage..this first book seems that way but I have a feeling it’ll go more harem, at least I’m hoping. But who knows! The danger was there, & the dynamic we had was good, definitely a fckboy in there. Can’t wait to continue.

Just like the Crows, I have been sucked into this world. I could not get enough of Becca's story and I am so excited to see where it goes. As always, expect some heat and some twists. I could not believe what I read a couple times. SHOCKED would be an understatement for one of them that was dropped.
I did enjoy seeing some of the Crows from the last series and AJ too. I thought it meshed well and didn't feel like it took over the plot where they were mentioned.
Becca went through a lot during the last series, but we see her start to grow into her own during Soulless Saint. A lot is happening and Becca finds herself right back in the middle of gang violence, without realizing it. The end of this one had me on the edge of my seat. When things came to light, it changed everything for her. Also, I want to shake a certain someone because WHY DID HE DO THAT?!? I know, I know, it was to possibly save him and her in the long run, but WHHHHY. Soulless Saint was everything I wanted and more in Becca's story and I cannot wait for more!

I love her books and this one is no different. I can’t wait for the next book! This men are obsessed with her, and I love it! I hope that the lovely Irish hunk switches sides. No spoilers here. You’ll have to read it for yourself.
