PRAISE FOR SAINT
(Formerly The Chamber)
I really enjoyed Saint. The story didn’t drag
anywhere, and I was kept guessing until the end. If nothing else this story
shows us that truth and justice are not necessarily
the same thing, and that we can try to do what's right but in the long run it
might not make a difference. Sometimes all you can do is try to keep yourself
in one piece and keep the nightmares away. I definitely recommend the Saint, but be prepared for edge of
your seat suspense and comic relief where you least expect it.

SAINT is a heart-pounding,
gut-wrenching thriller filled with fast paced suspense and interesting
characters. There is never a dull moment in this book! From the
opening line to the epilogue, this book is filled with snappy dialogue and a
unique plot that holds the reader’s interest. Ms. Gray carries out the
plot and the development of the characters fabulously. Each and every
character, including the secondary ones, are well
planned down to the smallest detail. Maria is a strong heroine who has
faced an extremely trying ordeal without losing the values that she holds
dear. Seth Harris is a complex hero who cannot help but admire Maria even
though he repels her idealistic nature. The band of mercenaries have seen
and done horrible things in their lifetime, yet these men remain compassionate,
witty, resourceful and strong. This reviewer especially enjoyed Ms.
Gray’s use of “saintly” nicknames for the mercenaries. Throughout the
book, this reviewer found herself making fun parallels between the nicknames
and each character’s personality.
The romance aspect of the book takes a back seat to the suspense, but the heart
pounding tension of the fight for survival more than makes up for that.
Ms. Gray has written a wonderful suspense that showcases her talent and her eye
for details. This reviewer will be watching as Ms. Gray climbs her way to
the top of the ladder of success.

…SAINT is superb and flows well within the plot. The emotions that the
characters feel are clearly portrayed by the author and I found myself moved by
their lives and their stories; these characters clearly capture the reader’s
attention and hold on to it until the very end of the novel. SAINT also meets
the definition of a true romantic suspense; the reader is not sure how the
story will end until the very last page of the book. While at times I found
this book to be difficult to read because of the graphic nature of the writing
and the very nature of the subject matter it dealt with; I did find this book
to be a worth while read for those readers who enjoy romance with a darker
flavor.

This is one of those reviews nearly impossible to write. SAINT is a bone-chilling
action story. I was enthralled from the first page, so much so that I am having
a difficult time deciding what to write. There are almost too many elements in
this book to count? Almost too many to count: romance, suspense, intrigue,
action, drama, and light comedy are the ones that come to mind. Reading this
book invokes feelings such as anger, sadness, grief, happiness, joy and relief.
It has been awhile since I’ve read a book that moved at the pace SAINT did. You
never knew what is going to happen.
One thing that makes SAINT so compelling is the various mysteries that involved
each of the characters. Maria, for example. What is
really motivating her? Why is she willing to risk life and limb to catch this
drug-lord? What about Seth? Why did the agent dump Maria on him? What is about
Seth that makes him the perfect man to find a way to save Maria? The motley crew of men working with Seth are amazing. There are Joan,
Francis and Gabe, all men with saintly nicknames. The
reader will enjoy finding out what each of these names means to the men who
carry them. These men have a history behind them that will make you blink more
than once. SAINT is so thorough that it answers every question about every
character, including the three men working with Seth.
I find that I cannot say enough good things about SAINT. I will definitely make
room in my schedule to read Ms. Gray’s next release. She certainly has a way of
grabbing the readers’ interest and doesn’t let go until the final page.

From the beginning, T.L Gray draws you
into the story and these characters' lives and seizes your attention until the
very end. The character development is the key to this excellent novel, with
the character intentions and emotions are revealed slowly, but within a unique
and fast past paced story line. The romance aspect is a theme within the book,
yet the suspense takes center stage and more than makes up for it. SAINT is a
thrill ride with a dark edge that keeps you guessing until the very end. I
can't wait for another novel by T.L Gray.

a page-turning
adventure that is like riding a roller coaster. Maria Carvania
is strong and focused on bringing Benito Juarez to justice but has to look deep
inside to see if it is really about her brother
Jimmy’s death. Seth is the quintessential tortured hero. He doesn’t
want to like Maria but finds himself desiring her in spite of himself.
The supporting characters of Francis, Joan and Gabe
give us laughs along with some nerve-racking action. I must warn you
though some of the scenes are graphic especially the ones describing the death
chambers in the
