Before I start my review you should know that this review is for the whole West Bend Saints series (that Includes [b:Elias|23497322|Elias (West Bend Saints, #1)|Sabrina Paige|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1415427313s/23497322.jpg|43083205], [b:Silas|24057316|Silas (West Bend Saints, #2)|Sabrina Paige|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1419434071s/24057316.jpg|43655262], [b:Luke|25518250|Luke (West Bend Saints, #3)|Sabrina Paige|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1438092193s/25518250.jpg|45301357] and of course [b:Killian|30171411|Killian (West Bend Saints #4)|Sabrina Paige|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1463007775s/30171411.jpg|50573541]).
I was about to crack down and start on another book that I had on the back burner when I saw a blurb for Killian, and of course I got side tracked, with all four book in this series. Yeah... I kinda had a binge reading day or something, not sure what happened there. :/ Any who, on wards.
The series as a whole and individually was nice. Each of the Saint brother's had there own story, add to that the first three books there was a good background story that tied in and kept you coming back for more. The back story is what really made me fly through these books, the whole mystery of how the mother really died along with what was happening with the mining company and the sheriff.
The book's have a good flow to them even with each story (aside from Killian's) overlapping with another. My biggest disappointment is that you don't really get to see Tempest(from Silas's book) and her crew 'grift the town', you see a small bit of it in Luke's book but for the most part it gets glossed over.
The series as a whole is classified as Romance, you do get a small bit of action in Luke's book, overall though there's not a whole lot going on in the individual stories other than building the romance.
Highlights of the series would be when River (Elias's book) walked in on her fiance and sister, then skip to how they both got there just desserts by the end of the book. Another great part was when Silas ruins Tempest's con by basically obliterating the guy he was fighting with, that was rather priceless. Another funny part was after Elias and River got together each of the brothers, in there own books, would think 'I'm not like (insert name), I'm not the family/settling down kind', and then each of them quickly fell for a girl. A little redundant yes, especially when reading the book in such quick succession, but still funny.
There were parts in each book where I just had to shake my head at what had happened. More than a few times I found that I was exasperated at something that the character were doing or how they were handling a situation. Still each book was a good read, and while I would have liked to see more of certain parts I still enjoyed the overall story.

I love me some Saints. This is a quick easy read. Not exactly insta love but it's a quick build. I lvoe Killian's snark and how he loves to tease.
If you like new adult series, this is a good one.

I really enjoyed this book! It was sweet, sexy and funny. Lily is a single mom to a little girl. She owns bakery and literally runs right into Killian. Killian is a perfect book boyfriend. His interactions with Lily's daughter were great! I build up and sexual tension between Lily and Killian was perfect and super steamy. I loved this book and can't wait to read what this author writes next!

After becoming a widow and raising her daughter, Lily Grant knew that she would never trust another man again. It wasn't that she didn't want to be with a man, but her marriage was a facade that she realized after the fact. Now her sole focus is on her daughter Chloe and building her bakery. So when Lily literally gets bumped into by Killian Saint, her temper flares adn she knows she is looking at a man who seems to go out of his way to unnerve her.
Killian is a recluse, he moved back home but has little interest in spending time in town or with people for that matter. He grew up in a town who sneered and gossiped about his family, he has no interest in getting close to anyone else. Lily though peaks his interest like no other and she makes it clear she is not interested, he doesn't believe her though and plans to find out how much she does want him. The fact that she has a kid though gives Killian pause, can a man who is used to being alone become a part of something he is not sure he wants?
This was a delightful treat. Funny, entertaining and full of sizzle. I liked that KIllian is aloof and he has one moment in Lily's cafe that is hilarious. Now I need to go back to start from the beginning which looks like a wonderful series.

I really loved this book. It is a fantastic series, but this one was my standout. Killian, Lily and Chloe had my heart from the very beginning. The story was exciting, extremely funny and hella sexy. When this author puts pen to paper, you know you are in for a treat and Killian certainly did not disappoint.

The brother we've all been dying to know. The handsome, mysterious broody one we've all wondered about. The one who would complete the quafecta (yes, I made that word up just for this review) of the utterly and devastatingly hot guys that make up the Saint brothers. Killian was truly something else. Him interacting with the kids was the funniest and cutest thing! Those were probably my favorite scenes. He's this ruggedly sexy guy who is nothing like what you'd expect when you first look at him. People (specifically the women) flock to him like a moth to a flame. It was only a matter of time before single mom Lily, who's still adjusting to life as a single mom and business owner, fell for him. The sexual tension build up between them was playfully hot and oozed pure sexiness. Then the non sexual tease sessions!?! Too hot for words. You just knew when "it" finally happened, it was going to blow your mind. And BLOW YOUR MIND it did!!! Killian's like the perfect guy; sexy, sweet, handy, and seeing him with the kids, specifically Chloe, melts your heart.. Him and Lily's chemistry was off the charts and made for a great story. I'm sad to see the end of the Saint brothers, but I must say those epilogues were epiiiic! I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Liked it :D
Characters?
He's a gruff alpha-male.
She's a great baker and an adoring mother.
Their relationship is scorching hot and super sweet.
Lily's kid is adorable.
Plot?
Liked their background stories, loved the gossip in this town (so close to real life).
Writing style?
Good, some mistakes, though...
