About this listen
Eighteen-year-old, Bronwyn Littleton is in love with a stranger she met on a summer night a year ago.
A stranger who was tall and broad in a way that made her feel safe. He had dark blue eyes that she can’t stop drawing in her sketch book. And he had a deep, soothing voice that she can’t stop hearing in her dreams.
That’s all she knows about him though.
Until she runs into him again. At St. Mary’s School for Troubled Teenagers–an all girls reform school–where she’s trapped because of a little crime she committed in the name of her art.
Now she knows that her dream man has a name: Conrad Thorne.
She knows that his eyes are way bluer and way more beautiful than she thought. And that his face is an artist’s wonderland.
But she also knows that Conrad is her best friend’s older brother. Which means he’s completely off-limits. Not to mention, he’s the new soccer coach, which makes him off-limits times two.
What makes him off-limits times three however, and this whole scenario an epic tragedy, is that, Conrad, Wyn’s dream man, has a dream girl of his own.
And he’s as much in love with his dream girl as Wyn is in love with him…
NOTE: This is a STANDALONE set in the world of St. Mary’s.

Story
Cleopatra Paige hates one thing in this world - just one - and his name is Zachariah Prince. In grade school, he pulled at her pigtails. In middle school, he spread false rumors about her. And in high school, he ruined her prom. She hates that his smirks are unfairly sexy. And she definitely loathes that his dark eyes seem to follow her everywhere. Sometimes, even in her dreams. It doesn't matter that he's rich and popular, or that he lives in a freaking mansion full of butlers and maids. He's rude and arrogant, and she wants to stay as far away from him as possible

Story
Willow Taylor lives in a castle with large walls and iron fences. But this is no ordinary castle. It’s called Heartstone Psychiatric Hospital and it houses 40 other patients. It has nurses with mean faces and techs with permanent frowns. It has a man, as well. A man who is cold and distant. Whose voice drips with authority. And whose piercing gray eyes hide secrets, and maybe linger on her face a second too long. Willow isn’t supposed to look deep into those eyes. She isn’t supposed to try to read his tightly-leashed emotions.

My reputation at Fairview University preceded me. I was the projected number-one pick in the NHL draft and the fan favorite at the rink. People wanted to be me or be with me. Except for Lyla James Marichal. She didn't look at me like I was her next meal. She eyed me with disdain. Instead of vying for my attention, she ignored me and pushed me away. She was completely unattainable, and I became obsessed with her. When I finally got her, it felt like I was on top of the world. I was going to help the team win another championship, going into the draft, and had Lyla by my side.

I was smitten. He was curious. But, as everyone knew, fate could be decidedly cruel. He called me Halley, like the comet. I called him Reed. And my best friend? Well… she called him Dad.

He was an artist. She was his muse. To everyone in town, Abel Adams was the devil's spawn, a boy who never should have been born. A monster. To 12-year-old Evie Hart, he was just a boy with golden hair, soft t-shirts and a camera. A boy who loved taking her picture and sneaking her chocolates before dinner. A boy who made her feel special. Despite her family's warnings, she loved him in secret for six years. They met in empty classrooms and kissed in darkened church closets. Until they couldn't. Until the time came to choose between love and family, and Evie chose Abel.

I know what I want. So when opportunity knocked, I took it. I grabbed my shot, willing to do anything to make it happen. From the beginning, I knew I was destined to be with the six-foot-four, bourbon-eyed Rock God. Only back in the early days, he wasn’t a god. Rhys Granger was my brother’s friend, the boy next door who wrote verses and played his guitar in our garage. He was talented. Exciting. Damaged. The kind of guy who made all the girls cry…. Except for me. I thought I was special. Turns out I’m not. And now…I despise him.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Story
Willow Taylor lives in a castle with large walls and iron fences. But this is no ordinary castle. It’s called Heartstone Psychiatric Hospital and it houses 40 other patients. It has nurses with mean faces and techs with permanent frowns. It has a man, as well. A man who is cold and distant. Whose voice drips with authority. And whose piercing gray eyes hide secrets, and maybe linger on her face a second too long. Willow isn’t supposed to look deep into those eyes. She isn’t supposed to try to read his tightly-leashed emotions.

Story
He was an artist. She was his muse. To everyone in town, Abel Adams was the devil's spawn, a boy who never should have been born. A monster. To 12-year-old Evie Hart, he was just a boy with golden hair, soft t-shirts and a camera. A boy who loved taking her picture and sneaking her chocolates before dinner. A boy who made her feel special. Despite her family's warnings, she loved him in secret for six years. They met in empty classrooms and kissed in darkened church closets. Until they couldn't. Until the time came to choose between love and family, and Evie chose Abel.

I'm twenty-six years old, and I want to die. So when I wake up at the hospital with my brother weeping over me, I know my life is about to change. What I didn't expect was to get a nurse with cruel eyes and a morbid sense of humor that surpasses my own. I'm even more surprised when I arrive at Harlow Sanctum and realize that my brother selected an unorthodox rehabilitation center that rooms people based on their treatment plan. And my roommate is none other than the man with cruel eyes I met the day prior.

Age-Gap Best Friend and Coach Student
Conrad is the eldest in his family who has sacrificed his dreams for the sake of his family who he loves dearly. An ethical and moral man
Wynn is the child of rich parents who show no affection and control her life. In a fit of rebellion she spends her last year of high school at St Mary’s, a reform school for girls. Wynn is fighting to have her dream.
The struggle to protect each other shows the deep and abiding respect and love these two have.
This series is well worth the time and investment. This can be read as a standalone.. but investing in the first 2 books is worth it.
Narration well done. I liked the male narrator better than the female

Best friends brother
I've loved this whole series and since hearing about Conrad in AGV I couldn't wait to get his story. And wow Saffron did not disappoint. The angst was so well done. I loved everything about this book. It is definitely a slow burn that will have you going through different emotions. After everything Conrad has been through I loved seeing him get his HEA.
The narrators really brought the characters to life. They portrayed them perfectly.

taboo
Bronwyn has a dilemma , #1 her mystery man is her brother's best friend, #2 he is her soccer coach, #3 he is almost twice her age, #4 he is in love with someone else.
She is determined to bring some light to Conrad's life. They both bring out the best in each other-
He knows it's not right. She annoying to him, trying to get his attention and break down his walls.
I love taboo romance and this one doesn't disappoint.
Stephanie Kay and Walker Williams narration is very food.

Keeps you wanting more...
These Thorn Kisses is book 3 in the St. Mary's Rebels series. It's an age gap, coach/student, best friends brother romance.
Conrad and Wyn's story is a slow burn that pulls you in and keeps you engrossed throughout. You get all the drama, smoking hot chemistry, and so many emotions. SAK sure does know how to keep you hooked and wanting more in this series.
Stefanie Kay and Walker Williams did a good job brining these characters to life.

Conrad and Bronwyn's story
I am loving the St. Mary's Rebels series by Saffron A Kent. I was on a long trip so got to listen without interruptions. We get to see Callie and Reed again which made my day. I was wanting more of her, her friends, and her brothers. I was thrilled to get it! This is her oldest brother and best friend's romance. Taboo because of Conrad being Wyn's soccer coach and the age gap (18 yrs and 33 yrs old) between them. At times I was frustrated with the childish behavior of Wyn, but then I'd have to remind myself that she was only 18 years old. Several times Conrad gave a confusing, verbial, nonsensical stay away from me rant which was off putting. I loved him for how he cared for his family, he hated the ways her parents treated Wyn, but then he'd speak to Wyn like that? Ugh. That's why I took off a star. But on the whole, I enjoyed the storyline and characters. Both characters had to grow in their own ways. I cannot wait for Poe and her mysterious guardian's book!
Stephanie Kay and Walker Williams are excellent narrators. Stephanie had the majority of the narration which worked well for me since her voice was easier to hear in my helmet. This is a long audiobook, but it rolled like a movie in my head.

Wyn and Con!! :)
What a FANTABULOUS narration of Wyn and Con's story.
This is a wonderful troped book of age gap, student/coach, best friend's brother situation! Wyn and Con have a past prior to St. Mary's; but they try their hardest to keep it there.
Wyn is a daughter of a powerful couple, the DA to be exact, who is constantly finding herself trying to meet the standards that her parents set out for her. They make her think that her art is worthless and it's a silly dream to chase and meant for little girls. So one night she makes the mistake of spray painting her dad's car and off to St. Mary's reform school for girls she goes. Little does she know that she's going to make some of her best friends there and find out who she can be as a person separated from her parents.
Conrad is the oldest Thorn sibling who has given up everything in order to take care of his siblings and ensure that they succeed in finishing school and chasing whatever their dreams may be. Along the way, though, he has found himself with some hidden resentment and lost himself in the process. He was a star soccer player and now he's an amazing soccer coach that has many professional leagues after him; but he keeps putting his need to be the stable big brother ahead of everything else.
This story is one of love and fighting for the other person to be the best version of themselves that they can be. Wyn pushes Con to pursue life outside of Bardstown and he pushes her to pursue her art and try to get into the best schools out there. They are wonderful together and regardless of the taboo parts, they are the yin to each other's yang.
Definitely worth the read, even if they are slightly longer books. It is a standalone, but best read in order of with the first two books prior to this one. Fall in love with all the St. Mary's girls and their men.
Stefanie Kay and Walker Williams are wonderful narrators and did a magnificent job portraying these characters. The perfect voices for the best characters. I think Wyn and Con are my favorite ones yet and the narration only helped that!
Thanks for the audiobook Pink Flamingo Productions, I can't wait for more gems from you guys! :)

These Thorn Kisses
This is the third book in the St. Mary's Rebels series. This is Wyn and Conrad's book. Each book can be read as standalone books. Wyn met her perfect man, but thought she might never see him again, now that she is at St. Mary's. This is a best friend's brother forbidden romance. I love this series. Saffron A Kent really knows how to put you through an emotional roller coaster, before the well-deserved HEA. Stefanie Kay and Walker Williams did a phenomenal job narrating this book.

Wallflower and Her Thorn
I’ve been so excited for Bronwyn’s story since book 1. She’s been the artistic dreamer of the group so I knew when she fell it was going to be hard. Wyn’s outbursts may have brought me secondhand embarrassment but she was so endearing I couldn’t help but love her anyway. She knows her obsession is bordering on delusional but she also only wants to show Con someone will put him first.
Conrad has had such a hard life. We already knew he had to give up his dreams to give his siblings their best chance at happiness but then to find out he also gave up the woman who he thought was the love of his life. He’s more than a little damaged and broken by life.
There’s a million reasons why Con and Wyn shouldn’t be together. He’s her coach, her best friend’s brother and way too old for her. But their love was inevitable from the moment he walks her home and her defiance for her art begins. This is definitely a slow burn but the chemistry is impeccable and the build is done just right. And would it be a SAK book if the hero isn’t an alpha dirty talker? I think not.
This ended up being my favorite book of the St Mary’s Rebels series. I loved how well the narrators brought these two to life. I felt their longing and anguish and heartbreak as if it were my own.

These Thorn Kisses
I have to say this is my favorite book in the series. I love the way this one was written, I like how she didn't write about him falling for her right away. but how at the beginning of his point of view wasn't really about her but about his life and his struggles. but man when he finally gave in there relationship was fire 🔥. I love how he tried so hard to stay away. it did break my heart on the way he did it. but I couldn't be happier with that ending. so farthis whole series is amazing, but in my point of view this one is the best book so far. I have to say the female narrator is because one of my favorites she plays that Innocent roll so good. I've listened to some of her other books and she never disappointed. not to leave out our male narrator he's amazing too. all his work is.
