Saving Saint by Joel Abernathy

4.0

Saving Saint is book four in the Dante's Infernal series. A MM rockstar romance. With friends to lovers, enemies to lovers and second chance tropes.

Saint is a brooding, grumpy man whore guitar player. Danny is the sweet cinnamon roll keyboardist.

Danny had also been inflated with Saint, even before they both joined Dante's Infernal when their bands merged. And until one night after a gig he thought Saint would never see him as more than a kid. But when Danny's brother Adam comes back as the bands drummer a drunken mistake ruins any love Danny has for Saint.

This book gets a little dark and heavy on the angst. With a plot focused on addiction and both past/present trauma it takes a dark turn. It wasn't what I expected but I can't say I was disappointed. Pain and betrayal can manifest in many ways. For Danny it become revenge and changing himself.

I enjoyed the role reversal with the d/s dynamic and Saint not being in control. While Danny became harder to cope with the events. There are still glimpses of the cinnamon roll. This happy ending didn't take the journey I thought it would. But I was totally here for it!
