The Saint Series #3
Saved and SAINTified
Peace comes at a price…
Committed to his fight for interracial peace for Rainbeaus and black Goddesses across the globe, Dr. Saint Aknaten is a proud husband and father. However, the arrival of a third child—a beautiful daughter—poses a threat to Saint’s blissful life and could very well bring the destruction of everything he holds dear.
An evil, powerful force threatens the balance…
Saint’s entire world is shaken by one man who stands between him and his future destiny. Soon, this modern day hero finds that blood truly is thicker than water. Armed with courage, love from his Queen and princes, his sharp instincts and an arsenal of psychic abilities, he is thrust headlong into treacherous enemy territory in the heart of his native heritage—Egypt, the cradle of civilization, a place of secrets and mystery where his survival is far from guaranteed.
No one messes with Saint’s family…
To add insult to injury, Saint discovers a Judas amongst his ilk—a bane that must be exposed, stopped and destroyed. Will Saint be able to save his world from crashing and meanwhile, keep the Rainbeau Knights of the Round Table intact from internal hemorrhaging? Finally, can Saint use the lessons learned from his past to save his family? One thing is certain in this case—revenge is a dish best served steaming hot.

And I don't wanna listen too much, yeah Nothing but blue sky, blue sky..... . .Ms Tiana, you must have been a man in another life. . . . I so love me some Saint. Loved, Loved, Loved the third book "Save and Saintified". Can't get enough. You have totally captivated me and left me wanting more. I love the dynamics of Saints family and the other players in their close circle, even the additon of another a new member and relationships. And of course I love the relationship Saint has with his captive audience. I feel as if I'm in the room getting a sneak peak of a father's message to his son. And can we get you to share that talk he had with the ladies, to some of these real life young women, giving of themselves to quick. I also love the way you allowed Saint to go back to his past and connect it to his present. . . .Im just in aww. . . this story made me laugh so hard, from nosey Ms. Pam, and cry happy tears of the kids and sad tears for the trials. I will be feening for the next adventure. This is a GREAT story.

Suspenseful
I liked this newest installment. Saint was faced with his hardest challenge yet. Xenia is pregnant with THE angel child!! Liked the most powerful child to be born! But his cousin in Egypt wants the child dead. This story has drama, character updates, love, very intense at certain points.

Another hit!
Saint and Xena are one of my favorite family and I look forward to reading more about them! The love between these two and their love for their children, an extension of them is out of this world! I was happy to see Saint's cousin got what he deserved! Great book, MS. Laveen!

OMG those Angel Children
Tiana Laveen has a way of making her words jump off the page and seem so real. This book and this series was so good. This woman is really a talented and creative writer. She makes Saint seem like a real person. I can just envision him saying the things he says. The man is beyond an alpha male. He is a complicated character that had to almost grow up on his own with help of his childhood friends Bomb and Raphael. He had to discover and develop his skills as an Angel Child, that his own father Osaze, did not accept in himself. Saint had the help of others for protection and guidance in his friends Lawrence, Jasper and Beset. He loved and appreciated these friends as well.
His ability as an Angel Child grew immensely in this book because of his love for his soulmate and goddess Xenia and their three children. It was why he was able to battle with Niszm because of that love. Niszm never found his soulmate and never been in love. Love was what conquered the evil and hate in Niszm. Of all things LOVE is the greatest of all because God the Creator is pure love.
Each character written in the story had their own demons or personality quirks to battle. Jasper was so lonely but was afraid of commitment until Saint had a heart to heart intervention with him. Beset was so angry with what Niszm and his ways did to her family, until she gained the trust of Saint and Xenia to help them protect Isis with her skills. This helped her vindicate her loss of her family by helping to defeat Niszm. Dakarai and Hassani, both are developing their skills but they have the love and guidance of their father to help them, something their own father did not have from his father Osaze. They grew to be closer and more loving with each other at the end of the book. It was so heartwarming to see them come together to protect their mother. And then there's Momma Pam, that woman is trip. She was a hoot and brought welcomed comic relief in the mix, just when I thought my heart couldn't take what I was reading.
The love that Xenia and Saint have for each other is just off the chain. I can only envy a woman who has a husband with that much love and skill for his queen. I wish he were real. One can feel the passion read in the words in the book on their love. That passion for Saint extended to his Rainbeau cause as well. His Rainbeau conferences continued to be an educational reading for me. Tiana had to do in depth research to write so well about this topic.
My immotions ran the gambit in this book, from happy to sad, to turned on, to scared out of my mind, gasping in awe and laughing my headoff. This, to me is the mark of an excellent writer. Job well done Tiana Laveen.

If you really must read this book, please do yourself a favor, and borrow this book via Kindle or Nook...
I could really dissect this book and tell you everything that's wrong with it, but I'm not...
Just know that for $7.99 each, the author should have produced a better series that was well written without all of the unnecessary diatribes concerning "shiftless, good-for-nothing, alpha dog" black men. (my paraphrase, not the author's actual wording).
When it all comes down to it, men are men, and women are women. If one wants to date inter-racially, that's ok, and as a matter of fact, that's a good thing.
But here's the thing, we as readers do not need to hear a sermon (or sermons) about why Black women are so jacked up from a string of crappy relationships with Black men. Any man, given a chance, can either be your knight in shining armor, or the big bad wolf.
If one has an issue with dating men of any race, do yourself a favor and read
. (Free on BarnesandNoble.com - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/men-a... ). This book gets it right, and doesn't have the reader delve into a whole load of pseudo-intellectual drivel just to drive the point home.
The point being: Women, no matter your color/racial heritage... Respect yourselves...
Giving this one 2 stars.

OMG! Another awesome book in the Saint Series!
I love how the characters relate and how their relationships have grown stronger. I like how Saint, Xenia and Raphael embrace their past and allow it to enhance their future. All things happen for a reason and for them to run with gang bangers had its purpose.
Hassani and Dakarai have powers that fit their personalities. That Dakarai is a slick one and I can't wait to see how he develops it. Besides being the Princess of Life, I wonder what abilities Isis will have.
Lawrence and Jagger have proven to be valuable friends and I'm so happy Jagger is letting go of the pain and moving forward with his life.
Last but certainly not least, Pam! She was a hoot in the other books especially when she misunderstood Saint's father during the vow renewal ceremony. But she was off the chain in this book! LOL! I was rolling when she was talking about Beset and Jagger! LOL! Old girl
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and Tiana, thank you for bringing to life such fabulous characters!

This is a good book what hurts is all of talking and thinking . I love the character Saint but I feel there are too many pages in this book and they are unnecessary.I think if the author made the book shorter by cutting out some the scenes and dialogue this book would rate 5 stars or more. Saint is a cool character with wonderful powers but all the talking and thinking took away from the story and made it less dramatic. Saint and Xenia are a sexy couple and they are a lot of good scenes written but there are just too many. I liked the new characters introduced also but there was just too much in this book. Hopefully the next book will be shorter because this author has a good character on her hands.

Tiana Laveen has raised the bar and CLEARED it with the 3rd installment to the Saint series. Saint ans Xenia were battling unknown demons in this book and had to fight, once again, for the true love that they have. Saint has shown why he is the ALPHA we all want to have in our life. There is explosive romance/sex, alot more background of Saint, Xenia, Saint's family and a few characters that came in the 2nd book. If you are looking to read a book that grabs you from the first chapter and keeps you, grab this one and sit back. It will be a long read, but it is sooo worth it.

Pure Literary Genius!
I'm late to the Saint & Xenia party but better late than to have never read this extraordinary series!
Mama Pam is HILARIOUS!! The dialogue in this book is off the chain! I'm so hooked on this series I just started; I'm about to read the 4th book in just four days. This is crazy cause I have a full time job and I'm a busy mom but I can't put my Kindle down!
Thank you ladies of the Lair for your recommendation....Saint will forever be top Alpha of my book boyfriends!

I enjoyed this book but not as much as the second one in the series, this book was too long. There were parts that were slow which at times lost my interest, but it had some funny scenes that had me laughing hysterically. Overall this was a good read and I look forward to reading more about Saint.

All good things must come to an end and this book rounds up the last of this series. I enjoyed the characters and the continuity f the story line was not broken from one book to the next. It would be nice to have a spin off of certain characters in this book as their story lines are quite interesting.

I absolutely love the Saint series. I fell in love with this character from the first book and I am more infatuated than ever with him now! Saved and Saintified was awesome!!! If only he was real and could teach classes on the art of seduction!
Keep up the great work Tiana! Please don't stop, keep them coming!

Saint, oh Saint!!
I don't even know where to start! This series keeps getting better and better! Saint is finally at ease with his calling and intends to protect his family no matter what. Loved this book! Xenia loves her Saint and is hanging in there to the end. Whew, what a ride. On to the 4th book.

I can't stop saying how much I love and appreciate the way you throw your whole self into your books. We go through a series of emotions in this series of books. I cried laughing when mama Pam was being nosey and tip toeing into people's rooms. The grandparents are absolutely hilarious, Osaze said he been known to throw down too. Have some seats.

Saint series
I liked this third book, but I struggled reading this one. While I love the good place that Saint and Xenia are in with their relationship, I thought the conflict was more hype than substance. However, I will continue with the next two books.
