He's No Saint

4.5 Stars



AJ Harmon was able to give me a new twist in He's No Saint. The author used two points of

views. The flow between the two points of views was beautifully done. It was easy to follow. AJ

gave the reader love, tragic past, hope for the future, and a twist at the end.

Tyler Oswin came from a wealthy family. He felt his parents were never there and turned to

criminal ways to compensate. Tyler and his best friend get into trouble one night. Tyler was able

to get out of trouble due to his family's wealth. His friend did time for their crime. Tyler did

community service with a Catholic church. Tyler felt the church saved him. Tyler enjoyed his time

and continued to help after his service was over. After college, Tyler fell in love. On the night of

Tyler's planned engagement, his girlfriend was brutally murdered. After this tragedy, Tyler

believed it was his destiny to be a priest. This is when Tyler became Father Hugh.

Amy Lansing lost her father at the age of twelve. Amy's mother did not cope well. She began to

look for boyfriend after boyfriend and forgot her daughter. Amy had a couple of bad experiences

with alcohol and guys. Amy found comfort in the church. Amy believed it was her destiny to

become a nun. Amy became Sister Meredith.

Amy and Tyler meet in the church. They begin to have feelings for each other. They both fight to

deny it. Tyler wants to accept it and give up the church. Amy does not want him to have any

regrets. Amy decides she cannot live without him. Secrets start to tear them down before they can

even really get started. In the end, Tyler's secrets may be too much to overcome??

AJ Harmon did a great job with He's No Saint. I would recommend this book to anybody. I think it

is a great read. The story line was compelling. The secrets were deep. The ending was surprising.

I enjoy reading books that do not always follow the happy ever after.
