My Darling Arrow - Beautiful, Sweet and Crazy in L

My Darling Arrow by Saffron A. Kent is one of the most anticipated and my favourite books this year! I love everything about My Darling Arrow - beautiful and gripping love story, emotional hero and sweet heroine, and on the book cover you see Arrow himself.❤️ Narrated by Jason Clark as Arrow and his voice is divine. Sarah Puckett as Salem is also perfect. All Saffron A. Kent books are special and her writing style is fenomenal, because you feel like you are these heroes or heroines. All the feelings Salem and Arrow feel are so beautiful, raw, gripping, crazy in love, possessive and sexy. How they see or do not see each other is so beautifully written. All the feels are out there and while reading, I felt all of them - unrequited love, hope, courage to go out there, angst, hurting, being in love and so much happiness. I think I fell in love with Arrow and when he finally started to notice Salem, “oh my”. He was not very nice about it in the beginning and then he was also so much more... Arrow has so many layers and how Salem gets to know him from his other side - possessive, protective, emotional and completely in love.  Salem writes sweet letters to Arrow in secret and through the book you want to know, will he get them in the end. Salem's new friends in St. Mary’s school is also important to notice because each one will have their own story. I am so excited to see where these series will go. The next one A Gorgeous Villain, will be Callie's story. Thank you for creating these beautiful, forbidden and swoon-worthy romantic heroes/heroines and their love stories! If you love to read romantic, unrequited and hot love stories then I highly recommend My Darling Arrow and all other Saffron A. Kent super hot and amazing books. They are very special! 🧡❤️💜

Rarely Rate DNF's

I rarely rate books I do not finish, which is probably a disservice to others, but I have to share my opinion on this one. I have really enjoyed books by this author in the past, like 5* ratings, but this was a good concept that should have been a short story. it is painfully strung out with redundant and ridiculously flowery dialog and very little forward movement. I reached the point where I could not listen for another second.

Loved it

I loved Salem and Arrow's story when I read but listening has made me love them more! That Broken Arrow...his voice is smooth and sexy. You can hear his struggle with his version of perfection. And Salem...witchy, witchy Salem...that little rule breaker. Again I was sucked into their story! Thanks for bringing them to life!

Forbidden love

This was an amazing story written by Saffron A. Kent, The story itself had me hooked from the beginning, a forbidden love between Salem with her love letters and Arrow with his Denial. I felt the connection between them. Sarah Puckett and Jason Clarke did such a good job.

Beautiful Story!

My Darling Arrow is a beautifully written forbidden romance. Salem and Arrow's story is intense, slow paced, and emotional. They are opposites attract, and they share a strong chemistry. Arrow is a perfect anti-hero, alpha, cold, arrogant, and commanding. His story intrigued me. Salem is a wonderful character. She is young, and she is unsecure. Turns out she is strong, selfless, caring, supportive, and determined. I liked her. I loved to follow them in their journey. The story is told with both POV, which is great. I love the ending. This is a beautiful story. Jason Clarke and Sarah Puckett did a great job with the narration. I read it before, and I enjoyed the audiobook version.

Angst and all the feels!

My Darling Arrow is signature Saffron!! Steamy, forbidden, ANGST and all the FEELS! The narration done by Sarah Puckett and Jason Clarke was PERFECTION! Their voices complimented each other and the passion and emotion in their voices I LOVED! Salem is sassy and sarcastic. She is passionate and slightly crazy. But she LOVES hard and has a huge heart. I loved her confidence and how she goes after what she wants without apology. She has loved Arrow for 8 years! Her love for him has been unrequited due to the fact that he is her sisters ex. After her latest act of rebellion she is sent away to a reform school. On the surface Arrow is the complete opposite of Salem, he doesn't take risks. He is a perfectionist and lives life with caution. But on the inside he is pure alpha with a dirty/filthy mouth and mind. He has had his world turned upside down and now deep down he is broken and hurting. Arrow ends up inside the reform school as Salem's coach and it's about to get even messier for him and his heart. Not to mention the fact that he and Salem are even more forbidden then they already were. This is a MESSY love story. It is beautiful and different. It is not simple or sweet but the angst, passion and undeniable chemistry between them is incredible and you cannot help but route for them. I loved the message of self discovery and a love so big you are willing to risk it all. Saffron has created a world I did not want to leave! I absolutely adore Callie and Reed and am DYING for their story next!

Saint Mary's Rebels

My Darling Arrow (Saint Mary's Rebels #1) is lovestory about unrequited love with a all girls boarding school world with a forbidden romance trope and dabbles in a bit of sports. I absolutely loved the poetic letters written by Salem to Arrow. I wasn't a fan of Salem's sister Sarah and she never redeemed herself. Arrow's character was complex and I wish the author dove deeper into his personality. Salem's inner turmoil and thoughts were well vocalized. A new adult novel, first in the series and introduces other supportimg female characters in the school who will get have own book. I absolutely loved the epilogue. Looking forward to listening to the next audio in this series when available. Jason Clarke, Sarah Puckett dual naration brought out the melancholy and beautiful heartbreaker of a romance. Uttlerly seductive and sensuous intonation of Sarah Puckett was perfect. Jason Clarke's deep baritone inflection is perfect for choice as Arrow. A flawless performance by two favorites.

ADDICTING!

Loved Salem and Arrow. The angst is HAF off the charts!!!! Loved the letters...absolutely AMAZING!! This book went on so many twist and turns I was on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t wait for what was next. A absolute MUST READ!!! I was lucky enough to get an audio copy and it was PERFECT! The narrators really brought the story to life.

Good Book

All in all, good book with excellent narration. Honestly, I was immediately drawn in and needed to see where the story would go. Downside...some redundant elements in the storyline. By the end, I felt I would literally scream if I heard the words “witchy” or “perfect” one more time. A little overdramatized for my liking. However, I found myself really dedicated to the storyline by the middle of the book...and there were some really steamy, sexy elements too 🔥 But I got a little frustrated with the theatrics and over the top characterizations. I was good by the time I reached the ending and felt satisfied...although I would have loved the main characters to have been further along in the maturation of their relationship...wanted to see what their HEA looked like further down the line. Maybe we find those answers during tidbits of the next installment in the series? Either way, I did enjoy the overall story. Narration added to that enjoyment. 5 star performance; 3-3.5 star story; 4 stars overall.
