About this listen
"Do you want some Goldfish crackers, Bliss?"
Those were the last words my brother said to me before he was shot execution style. A childhood code only he and I knew, and one that had a single, clear meaning behind it.
Run.
I'm not going anywhere. Not when his murderer is still out there.
To catch a killer, I put aside my life of money and luxury and take over the running of Psychos, a dive bar in the seedy underbelly of Saint View.
But Psychos delivers more than I ever could have bargained for and three men I never saw coming.
Nash, my brother's best friend. Older and more experienced, he still remembers me as the neglected child he once saved.
War, heir to a biker gang throne and searching for the man who left his mother in a coma. Bonded over a common goal, he introduces me to a world of after-hours clubs, danger, and violence.
And Vincent, the quiet new guy nobody seems to see except me. He's sweet and quirky, but there's a darkness in him just waiting to be unleashed.
With every lie we uncover, every secret we expose, the danger mounts.
Until there's only one thing we know for sure.
The killer is still out there.
And we're his next targets.
Start a War is an adult #whychoose romance, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. This book contains romantic suspense/dark themes that may trigger some listeners. It is the first book in an ongoing trilogy.

I thought running back to Saint View would save us. I thought wrong. Now my sister is dead, left strangled in an alleyway, and my ex-husband isn’t the only suspect.

"You may now kiss your bride". They were the last words my mother heard before she collapsed on the church steps, poison ending her pitifully short life. When her new husband dies minutes later, all eyes turn to me. There are whispers. Accusations. The verdict is split. I murdered them both. Or I'm the next to die.

Nothing prepares you for finding your sister’s lifeless body covered in blood. But when the police arrest her ex, a man I know is innocent, I can’t sit by and do nothing. Not when I’ve been secretly in love with him for years. Heath may not want my help, but I won’t take no for an answer. To catch a killer, I’m forced to take a job at Saint View Prison. Maximum security. The place they send the worst of the worst. But it’s not just Heath who doesn’t want me there. With every lie we uncover, every secret we expose, the danger mounts.

Story
He murdered my uncle, then covered it with fire. A fire that should have killed me, too. Instead, he hauled me from the floor while flames licked the walls, strong arms holding me close. He saved my life. Now I want to know why. I never saw his face. All I know is the letters on his shirt. SVH. Saint View High. The worst school in a hundred miles. Full of drugs and despair. Breeding ground for future criminals. Armed security guards and weapon checks at every door. A far cry from my privileged life of money, private school, and fancy vacations.

He’s dark. Dirty. Dangerous. A brother in my dad’s MC. Everything Mom told me to avoid. Everything I shouldn’t want. But his dark, his dirty, and his dangerous are like catnip to me. He stirs fear into the hearts of men, but I hear his rage. I feel it like it’s my own. He’s a killer. Shameless. Some might even call him a psycho. I just call him soul mate. We were born to raise hell together.

Story
One of the cardinal rules of matchmaking I was positive I'd never break. That is until Nathan Wilder walked into Love Moore Matchmaking Agency, needing my help to find him the one. A tall order to ask since he was the most hated man in the NHL. Broody. Crude. Abrasive. The man was a six-foot-three walking red flag. Right off the bat, every fiber of my being told me he'd be trouble. He wasn't looking for love. It was all a PR stunt to clean up his image so he could keep playing for the Boston Guardians. But there was something in his sad, soulful eyes that just pulled me in.

I had a plan to escape the friend zone. Step one: sneak into Reed’s room. Step two: sleep with him. But when the lights turned on, it wasn’t familiar blue eyes I saw. These were dark, angry, and full of demons. And they belonged to Reed’s much-older brother. Four years later, Nash Prescott is no longer the help’s angry son. I’m no longer the town’s prized princess. At 22, I’m broke, in need of a job. At 32, he’s a billionaire, in need of revenge.

Duty, honor, and sacrifice. Dedicating my life to these elements, for family and country, leaves little for myself in return. It's why I indulge in a no-strings hookup with a handsome stranger mere days before heading half-a-world away. Except one night turns into a week-long fling, creating a connection at the most inopportune time. And neither of us want it to end. Staying in touch is easy at first, but dwindles to radio silence and distant memories as time passes.

Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

It all started when I hosted a little party for a bunch of new friends. Though “friends” might not be the right word since the invitees were all the women I’d found out my boyfriend was talking to behind my back. When the guest of honor walked in—aka my now ex—things took a turn… Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually my landlord.

I love the Saint view series.
I loved this book reading and listening I hope the others come here soon. I was unfortunately introduced to it with Saint view psychos so I'm reading it backwards but that doesn't make it any less amazing. i was sad when I learned the other two book weren't on here yet because getting to put a voice to bliss and the boys it the best thing ever.

Pure Bliss
Do you ever just find a book that checks all the boxes? It made me feel all the things, I was hooked right away! And the cliffhangers, my god!
I'm so happy I've found the world of Saint View to submerse myself in. I started with Psychos because those books were all over my TikTok, and now I can't wait to go back and read all the other interconnecting series'.
One thing I loved about Bliss, was that she was incredibly relatable. I just want to focus on her body image issues for a minute. As someone who's felt too big her whole life, I loved the way she was written. She wasn't whiny or annoying about her body as some 'plus size' characters tend to be in movies and books. She was very real about her feelings. She doesn't dwell constantly on her body, but you can tell that it's real for her. She would make throwaway comments in the same ways I would would friends. Even her inner monologue was just right. I don't know how else to explain it other than it felt like I was reading a real person who has actually had self-esteem issues, rather than a caricature of 'the fat girl that hates her body'.
I liked the way that the men don't make her feel about it either. Instead, they just try to constantly reassure her, whether that's through constantly telling her how beautiful she is, or cutting to their point of view so the readers can see how they feel, the author did an amazing job of making Bliss, and therefore making me, feel better about our bodies.
Let me back up for a second. I work in a factory and I get most of my 'reading' done at work via audiobooks. When I say, I've never felt so good about my body in my life, I'm not exaggerating. In the last couple of days, this series has completely changed the way I feel about my body. The day I started listening to these books, I'd forgotten to do laundry so I was wearing old clothes that were too tight and didn't fit well. I walked into work feeling very uncomfortable and about halfway through the day as Bliss's perspective started to shift, so did mine. I didn't care anymore about how tight and clingy my clothes were, I felt great, and I haven't stopped talking about the books since. I recommend it to all my friends that read, and even some that don't.
The characters are amazing, I loved the story and I feel so good about my body after reading these books. I don't know that I could have asked for anything more.
Gregory Salinas & Michelle Price did a great job with the audio!!
