This former lovers to enemies finding their way back to love again story was very good. The HEA comes back into town after being gone for 10 years for a funeral and runs into his former girlfriend. Both he and she are mad at past situations and don’t want to forgive each other, but a will stipulations won’t let them walk away. There’s great character development and the story line is good. Will be on the lookout for the next in this series.

This is my first-time reading CJ Warrant, and it is a great way to start off a series. I don’t usually read books without a supernatural something in it, but this one was good. I was hooked to the well written characters in this book. It was hard for me to put down. This book is full of twists that I couldn’t wait to see where it was going to go. I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next with Deacon and Olivia. This book does have triggers, but this author has a well written storyline. I will definitely be on the look out for the next installment to this series.

Deacon (Saints vs Sinners Series #1) by CJ Warrant
This is the first book by the author that I’ve read. Warrant has a way of drawing in readers and keeping them. Deacon is an amazing read and you’ll love it. It is the first book in the Saints vs Sinners Series.
Deacon is back for a friend’s funeral and learns about his father’s friend’s passing. He wants to stick around town, but with his ex being there it’s hard. On top of his mom being sick he doesn’t know what to do. The quote I chose for Deacon is: “I don’t know. Maybe. It’s a little too strange for me to think that Falcon, who was so anal about his motorcycles, would race someone like Dog and not make sure his bike was safe. I don’t know the details of that day, but I can’t buy into the fact that his engine blew during the race. Something had to have caused it without catching Falcon’s attention.”
Olivia is attending a funeral once again. First her father and now a friend. Deacon is back in town and she isn’t sure how to feel about that. Now her boyfriend wants her to give all that up. The quote I chose for Olivia is: “Christopher, Deacon and the rest of the guys sitting at that table are like my brothers. I grew up with them. They hung around my daddy’s place. They have been a part of my life forever, and to ignore them—”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

Deacon might just be one of my favorite male main characters so far this year. Right from page one I was completely hooked and knew I was in for a great read. Olivia is also an amazing character. Each one has been through so much and I loved their second Chance story. This book is filled with steam, tough but well written situations, mystery and drama. The friendships in this book are strong and will definitely grab your heart. It’s got everything you need in a second Chance type story! It’s definitely one that I’m going to remember. I’m excited to read what’s next from this author. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

Deacon suffered in his life, more than most all he needs to do is escape the town he grew up in. Years later he is brought back to his hometown to bury his best friend but hopefully he does not dig up old memories.
Olivia was broken when Deacon left one night forever wondering if their friendship ever was as solid as she thought, but time has passed, and she moved away and made a life for herself but coming back home will hurt especially if she sees him.
Once they meet up old feelings and insecurities come flooding back but with the pressures, they are both under can they rekindle what they had lost years before.
This is the first book I have read by this author and OMG what a book to start with. The story was well written and fully of emotion in each chapter written. I loved these two main characters and the emotional struggle they have been through with each other and apart and that they are a little jade around the edges but still truly believe they can be there for each other.
The story around the struggles with his mother’s Alzheimer’s is thought provoking and written with dignity and empathy and you are drawn into the decisions he must make. This story is about survival and strength and with the story meandering through with twists and turns, cliff hangers I can not wait to read the next book in this series.

This was an emotional 5 star read. Deacon returns home to attend his best friend’s funeral and to take care of his mother. He also needs to work on getting things straight but when someone from his past shows up things get interesting. Olivia returns home to attend a funeral, when she sees Deacon the past comes crashing back on her along with the heartbreak. They both have hurt feelings and the more time they spend together the more old feelings start to come back. Can they finally work out their history? Will they get a HEA?
Overall this was a great read with lots of twists and turns. There is so much packed into this read my head was spinning. I really enjoyed their story, their chemistry came off the pages. The author does a great job with her writing and pulls you right in. If you’re looking for a great 2nd chance romance 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Deacon Saint is back home for a funeral after 10 years. Nothing is going how he thought it would. His mom has Alzheimer’s, he just lost one of his best friends, and he has a life changing job that he must decide if he will take. Now she has run into his long lost love Olivia Bane. Can they both get past their past? Are there still feelings or is it too late? This was such a great book. So well written and the characters were just awesome! If you have never read a MC book, I would highly recommend it!

A thoroughly enjoyable second chance at love romance which had me hooked from start to finish. When Deacon Saint returns to his hometown, Alama, Tennessee, having left ten years before to start his MotoGP racing career, he knew things could get difficult. After all, he’s mourning the tragic loss of his best friend, leaving behind his racing career, and dealing with his mother’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. However, he did not expect to come face to face with the girl he’s always loved and who broke his heart, Olivia Bane. Meanwhile, Olivia was enjoying her perfect life, working as a nurse, having a group of great friends and a boyfriend who’s a doctor, and then Deacon returns and her life turns chaotic. Suddenly, her boyfriend turns out to be a monster, she’s at risk of loosing her job, and worse of all, she’s at risk of falling in love with the person who previously broke her heart, Deacon. Deacon will need more than his, ‘good old Southern country charm’ if he’s to win her back! I loved the main characters, independent Olivia and, ‘smooth talkin’’ Deacon, and although their past has made them wary of one another, which comes across in the narrative, their chemistry also sizzled off the page. I felt immersed in the storyline, which had plenty of plot twists to keep me happily turning the pages, and I was hoping the couple would get their HEA. An entertaining and engaging read, which I recommend.

This is such a powerful story the characters are brought to life before your eyes. Olivia and Deacon have both a painful history which effect them now and in the past. There is many trigger in this book as it haz some dark points. Running into a former lover is harder enough add in death. A great read.

I absolutely loved this book and what an introduction it was to a new author! I was hooked from the very first page. The writing was exciting and so easy to read. I loved Deacon and Olivia, both of their past gave them reason to resent each other, they both held painful memories. There were some really emotional parts to the story and I really was wrapped up in Deacon and Olivia’s story and I was definitely rooting for them the whole way through. The author did an amazing job with this story and I am really looking forward to reading more from them in the future.

Enemies to lovers in a big way. Deacon comes home after a long stint away, for a funeral no less. He bumps into Olivia and those old sparks fly. This story had the best and the worst of the characters. They were so detailed and in depth you really get a great sense of who they are. Both the characters and the story line are a driving force to this novel and truly make it one story you won’t be able to put down!

This is a great second chance romance/enemies to lovers contemporary romance novel that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. I had never read any of this author’s work previously but was very intrigued by the blurb and decided to give it a chance. I’m so glad that I did. If this book is anything to go by then I’m going to read more of this author’s work. I’m already excited to read the next instalment as Kyle is made out to be an unsavoury character, so I’m wondering how his story will go. Getting back to this book, I adored Deacon and Olivia. Both are amazing characters that I could really relate to. This book just oozed angst and I’m a sucker for an angsty book. These two just needed to give into their feelings. But then the story would be over too soon and we wouldn’t get this emotional read that had me gripped from beginning to end. There is a great storyline running alongside the romance. Set in the motorbiking world there is a lot of drama, danger and intrigue to keep you engrossed and very entertained. I loved the closeness and camaraderie between Deacon and his group of friends ‘the disciples’ and can’t wait to find out more about these guys as the series continues.

A Bad Boy, Doctor, and Southern Belle walk in a bar….
Well maybe not into a bar. Deacon Saint has been gone for 10 years and so much has changed. His family, friends, and love of his life are all grown up and moved on… So he thought.
Olivia Bane…. She definitely didn’t think she’d see Deacon again.. especially at one of his best friends funerals… But.. there he was.. Just as perfect as she remembered… What would her boyfriend think of this…
Dr. Martin is an outstanding Doctor… but is that all he uses his hands for?
If I could give this book more then 5 stars I definitely would! I LOVE the multi POV between the two main characters. The plot and the way everything ran together was AMAZING! It was sweet, sultry, real, emotional story will have you laughing, crying, and yelling all o the same page! I would definitely recommend this book to everyone to read!

This was my first MC romance book and boy did the author deliver! I absolutely loved that there was more than just *spicy* romance. You really get to know the characters, especially Deacon and Olivia, and the good, bad, and ugly of them. This was an amazing way to start off the series and I cannot wait for the next book! I’m totally hooked! Deacon Saint comes home after being away for 10 year for a funeral he doesn’t want to attend. While grappling with his feelings over losing one of his best friends, finding out his mother has Alzheimer’s, and a life-changing job decision, Deacon runs into Olivia Bane, the former love of his life. He still hasn’t forgiven her for what she did 10 years ago and she hasn’t forgiven him either. Still reeling from the loss of her father, Olivia doesn’t want to deal with Deacon, but she has too…per her father’s will. There’s definitely more to the story with these two and there’s no denying the fireworks and electricity between them. But there are trials and tribulations that they have to overcome together and on their own. Deacon and Olivia’s story is full of twists and turns, but well worth it! C.J. Warrant definitely knows how to hook her readers in and keep them coming back for more!

What a ride! Wow this story is filled with action, action, action and suspense. I loved it and could hardly put it down! It starts off with a bang and lets me get to know the Disciples, which I loved. This made me feel for each of the characters….even Randy.
The secondary characters are just as fun and interesting as the main ones. It seems everyone has a secret and ten years is too long to be gone and expect everything to be the same. I enjoy all the secrets as they unravel..so fun trying to figure them out beforehand.
This book is extremely well written. The story flows quickly and smoothly. The characters are memorable and relatable. I do have a ton of notes on every character as they all have numerous quirks, loves and ideals. I can not wait for more from this author or this series!

Deacon (Saints vs Sinners Series) by C.J. Warrant is the first book that I have read by this talented author, and I can honestly say that after this reading experience, it won’t be the last book of hers that I will gladly devour. I wasn’t sure of what to expect going into the story, but the premise sounded right up my alley- cos who doesn’t love second chances, emotion, and angstiness. I happily dove right in and got swept up in all the developments. Deacon and Olivia have history, painful history, with both holding on to hurt from their past. When Deacon returns to his hometown for a friend’s funeral, things take a complicated turn when he comes face to face with Olivia, whom he blames for his broken heart. Olivia thought her life was pretty well perfect before her it all began to spin out of control. Seeing Deacon again complicates things even more. What happens you ask? Well, you will really need to read all the intriguing and emotional developments or yourself. I am sure you won’t be disappointed. Now I can’t wait to explore more of C.J. Warrants work!

If you love Sons of Anarchy this book is for you. Be warned this does have mature content including abuse. This is my first book by this author and CJ Warrant did not disappoint with the first book in the Saint vs Sinners Series. The male MC Deacon gives all the best Jax Teller vibes and Olivia the female MC is defiantly a bad ass in her own right. Deacon left the town of Alama and Olivia, his first and only love, years ago to pursue his dream of MotoGP racing. After losing his racing career A tragic death brings him home to the woman he loved but lost years ago and the friends he never realized how much he needed. Deacon and Olivia both have to figure out how to move forward in their lives while attempting to solve some mysteries along the way. Once I picked it up, I wasn’t able to put it down and defiantly found myself reading this early in to the morning. It is a happy ending but does leave a lot of unanswered questions that already have me craving the next instalment.

Lord have mercy was this a real page turner. I loved that this was more than a romance story. The author gave you mystery, tragedy, humor and romance all rolled into one.
I thought it was pretty cool that Deacon and Olivia come from a small town where everyone knows everyone. I love that they grew up together and were really good friends that fell in love.
The author did a phenomenal job keeping you guessing whether or not that love they felt for each other, all these years, is enough to get past the hurt they have both endured.View all my reviews

Deacon (Saints vs Sinners Series) by CJ Warrant. This is a great start to a series! I can’t wait to read the next book. This is the story of Deacon who left his home town to become a professional race car driver. He returns home beat and battered and broken hearted because he’s here to attend his best friends funeral. His mom has also been diagnosed with Alzheimers. Olivia returns home for the same friends funeral after leaving town to become a successful nurse in Nashville and she also has a pediatric doctor as her boyfriend. So when Olivia returns home and knows she is going to see Deacon the man who broke her heart before she left town she is kind of excited to see him and rub in his face all she has going for her. As Deacon and Olivia spend more time together they begin to realize that those feelings are still there and maybe Olivia’s not as happy as she thinks she is. Will they be able to forget the past and move on together? Read Deacon to find out!

This book took no effort to get sucked into and not want to put down until you were done. This is the first book by this author that I have read, and the first book for this series, and I look forward to the rest of them.
This was a little outside my normal reading, as I don’t usually read things with biker clubs and motorcycles and that sort of thing, but I was still able to stay engaged and interested in the storyline. There are some tough topics touched on in this book, from death to health issues, to violence and mentions of sexual assault. These were not enough to detract from the book or plot overall.

When reading this book, you couldn’t help but feel sorry for a man who just came home for the first time after being in a terrible accident for his best friend’s funeral. First being in a terrible accident, finding out your friend died so going back to his hometown for the funeral and then getting attacked at the funeral while going through all of the mixed emotions is a stressful time. This is the first book that I have read by this author, and I was hooked. The wording and how the story is told was just inviting. I cannot wait to read the next book in the story and to see how the story continues to develop.

This book really blew me away. I went into this expecting your typical second chance romance story and honestly I was taken aback at how kuchen I connected with these characters. They journey was so turbulent but completely realistic. The author had such a good grasp on their development throughout the book. It felt quite fast paced for a romance as well which I think added to the overall effect. I read this book so fast because I simply couldn’t put it down. This is a great story and one I would highly recommend.

Deacon returns home after a career in racing, that didn’t end well. We follow him as he tries to deal with the challenges that life has thrown at him.
Olivia turns Deacon’s head and turns his life upside down again.
Are they destined for happily ever after or fated to break each other apart?
Well that was a rollercoaster of a book! Full of action, cliff hangers and a few tear jerker moments. This was a fantastic first book in the series and I will be continuing in the series.

This book was a bit dark, but the story overall was amazing. There was drama, angst, suspense, lust, love, and redemption. Emotionally you will be on a roller coaster because its a rocky road on their second time around. Olivia and Deacon had a lot of things to overcome, but on this 2nd chance they held on to each other harder than they ever have. The twists and turns throw in only draw you in more, and its a book you definitely read more than once.

There are moments in life that take us to a place in our minds that we never wish to revisit. Loss tends to take away our ability to see the sunshine, rainbows and silver linings of this life. This seems to very much be the problem that Deacon, our main man in this experience, suffers from and the hits just keep coming. Luckily for him, he has his Disciples, his chosen family to have his back through the good and the bad. They seem to really keep him in check and do whatever they can to help me regain his footing. The author does an immaculate job at portraying the hardships of life, the emotional roller coaster, and the personality of an overall incredibly loving and caring man and his family throughout. I couldn’t put the novel down, and let it eat up most of this past weekend, without complaint, of course!
Now, Olivia, or Liv as her nearest and dearest refer to her as, has many of the same hardships, losses and issues that Deacon has been experiencing, both having lost their fathers, and feeling like the weight of the world rest on their shoulders. Liv’s issues continue to develop as the story moves forward, and things start to get really unclear as to what she is to deem right, and wrong in her choices. Luckily for these two, they know that when times get extraordinarily tough, they will be there for each other, too, no matter what. This story was fantastic from start to finish what with the character development, world building, and suspense, and I cannot wait to continue this series, an find out more about Sinner’s back story. Highly recommend!

Deacon Saint is a man dealing with a lot of pain. Coming off a painful injury from his racing career, he returns home for his best friend’s funeral and finds many secrets in Alama. It’s time to take care of those secrets. With the help of his childhood buddies, he is able to fight through demons and secrets from the past. He also learns to let his friends help him. He learns that the woman he always loved never betrayed him so he and Olivia get to work through their challenges along with helping his mom find help and resources for her Alzheimers. This book was fantastic. Though staring with a funeral, the action pulls you right in. You can feel Deacon’s and Olivia’s emotions throughout the whole story.. There are some large emotions. The author gives you some big twists and turns in the story. I feel like you had at least two different storylines going but they melded perfectly into each other. I felt like I was dealing with people I knew from high school. Such well-written characters, great job done with Clyde. Grumpier than Oscar the Grouch.The tone of the story being just Deacon and Olivia makes it feel personal. This is the story that leaves you wanting more. I can’t wait to read more. This is going to be a wonderful series. I would give it more than a 5 if I could.

This book is the first in a series and I can say that it starts off with a bang! This book was so good. I read it in one setting. It’s also pretty cool that it takes place about an hour from where I live. I live in the middle of nowhere, so it’s pretty cool that small towns get their own little world. I am excited for book 2!

What a way to open a series! Intrigue, friends, frenemies, enemies, lies, new lovers, old lovers, wannabe lovers, secrets and family. Strong women supporting each other is great to see. So much going on and with questions left unanswered, it will be hard to wait for the next one.
When Deacon Saint comes home for a funeral he doesn’t want to attend, his old life slaps him in the face and makes him take notice of what is important. Between rekindling old friendships and finding out what happened to his best friend, Deacon must make a decision between his career and his loved ones. The right decisions never felt so wrong.
