THE SAINT by Kimberly Kincaid is Liam and Carmen’s story and the fifth book in The Intelligence Unit series.

Liam and Carmen have been attracted to each other for a while but have always pushed their feelings aside until they are pushed together on an undercover case.

Liam and Carmen have some awesome banter and wicked tension between them that finally snaps and turns into scorching hot chemistry. I love the suspense and twists that keep you glued to the story. The end of the book seemed a little rushed and unfinished.

I was so excited to return to the Remington PD Intelligence Unit and I hope we will get more from them in the future.

THE SAINT contains… small town, law enforcement, medical, frenemies, forbidden, workplace, close proximity, romantic suspense, and multiple third-person points of view.

4.5 Maple Leaf Review

“I’m here for you, even when things are ugly or hard. I see who you are—who you really are—and you’re safe with me. I’m not going anywhere.”
This book was full of chemistry and action. Liam and Carmen start out like gas and fire and so realize that they can set a blaze together.their chemistry was off the pages. It was great to get the other side of Liam from the previous books in the series. It was done with an artfulness that did not take away from his character. Well done Ms Kincaid.I love the full circle that Liam’s life ended up.
I really enjoyed how the author gave us the “bad guy” pov also. It added another dimension to the story. A 5 star read for sure .

THE SAINT is the fifth instalment in in Kimberly Kincaid’s contemporary adult THE INTELLIGENCE UNIT erotic, romance series focusing on the men and women who work as first responders for the Remington Fire and Police. -a spin off from her Station Seventeen and Remington Medical series. This is police detective/undercover unit Liam Hollister, and registered emergency nurse Carmen DeSoto’s story line. THE SAINT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Carmen was first introduced in the prequel novella THE ROOKIE.

Told from third person perspective THE SAINT follows in the wake of the murder of a possible drug dealer. Nurse Carmen DeSoto is a recovering addict whose ex-boyfriend got her hooked on drugs, and pimped her out for money and fun. Currently Carmen is working as a nurse at a local clinic, as well as Detective Isabella Walker’s confidential informant, a position that is about to place our heroine front and center in an insurance fraud scheme. Carmen is being blackmailed by some powerful people, and with Detective Liam Hollister by her side, our couple will go undercover in an effort to reveal the who, what and why. What ensues is the building relationship between Carmen and Liam, and the potential fall-out as demons from the past threaten our story line couple.

Liam Hollister is the odd man out. He is the last of his crew to have yet to find love but his attraction to Detective Isabella Walker’s CI is visceral and intense but Liam’s past is about to make his life more complicated and uncomfortable.

Hollister’s attraction to Carmen DeSoto is immediate and intense but Carmen is the police department CI, and she continues to struggle with what happened years before. Working together to take down a large insurance fraud operation finds our couple pushed together by outside sources. The $ex scenes are passionate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including many of the previous story line couples-Isabella and Kellan, Garza and Delia, Maxwell and Frankie, Hale and Dempsey, Detective Shaw Maxwell, James Capelli, Sargent Sam Sinclair; FBI Agent Kai Roman; drug addicts, Carmen’s bosses Connor and Harlow, who make Carmen an offer she cannot refuse, as well as Dr, Miranda Astor, her husband Royce Gannon, and Liam’s brother Jamie, and their father Daniel McGee. Several characters cross over from the author’s Station Seventeen and the Remington Medical Series.

THE SAINT is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and obsession, power, greed and control, manipulation blackmail, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise intriguing and compelling; the romance is captivating and intense; the characters are numerous, charismatic, and energetic.
