Corporal Nicholas 'Saint' Santiago needs to go home to reclaim the man he used to be. To be the man he was before Operation Enduring Freedom slowly hardened his heart. He needs to reconnect to the values and the reasons he is doing what he does. Saint also needs to try to forget the courageous woman he fell in love with.

Petty Officer Angelina Jones' life changed the moment Saint saved her life. She survived the blast but now has to deal with the fact that she will never be whole. She can’t believe that anyone would want her the way she is now. Digging up her courage, Angelina moves forward hoping against hope that she can live a full life again.

Crossing paths again brings their emotions to a full boil. A coincidence that will have them both reaching for their dreams.

About the Author

Beverly Ovalle dabbled with writing on and off for years when her best friend finally dared her to submit a story to a writing contest. Beverly decided she had nothing to lose and since she'd always wanted to be an author sent it in and agonized for months waiting to hear back. Contract in hand she has never looked back. Beverly has been obsessed with dragons and romance since she was a young girl, collecting dragon books and reading everything she could find on them even down to the care of real life dragons. She's always been slightly panicked that the world as we know it will end, so has prepped for it, haunting survivalist pages and prepper projects she felt she needed in the event SHTF. An avid fan of all romance, Beverly's goal is to share her love of the written word and write the hot and erotic romances that she enjoys. She writes what she loves to read and it was only a matter of time before her obsessions crept into her writing for her to share. She hopes you enjoy her tales as much as she loves writing them. A Navy Veteran, Beverly has traveled around the world and the United States enabling her to bring her settings to life, meeting and marrying her husband of twenty six years along the way for her own romance. Reading romances since the fourth grade she's followed as the genre changed and spread into the vast cornucopia of romance offered today.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Saintly Read
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2014

Okay, prejudice rears its head here again. I confess, a book about a Marine and the Hospital Corpsman in his unit would have to be pretty bad for me not to like it. After all, I was a Hospital Corpsman who fell in love with a sailor. But, Ms. Ovalle not only gave us a pair of courageous service people to admire, a romance to cry over, and a bit of steamy sex to spice up the pages, she did so in a way that grabbed me on the first page and held my attention right through the last tear. She didn’t even distract me with any glaring grammar errors. Brava, Ms. Ovalle! And thank you for your service.

After being dumped by his girlfriend with a dear John letter.
The hole Nick Santiago felt got bigger when he is wounded saving
The medic of his unit. Doc Angelina Jones was hurt but if Saint hadn't been there she would have lost her life.
Now both on leave not expecting to see each other at Christmas. But a chance meeting on a flight to Chicago might just give them both a chance at becoming whole once again.

Beverly has done an amazing job bringing these characters to life. She also makes you feel their love and their pain while paying tribute to the wounded veteran's of this great land.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely military romance
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2015
Review copy provided via Reading Alley in exchange for an honest review.

A Saint’s Salvation is about two people both in the same military unit back in Afghanistan. Nick Santiago received a Dear John letter from his girlfriend stateside and he’s feeling empty and rejected. He’d remained loyal to that image of one day having a loving relationship but his dreams are all but squashed with that one letter.

Nick’s had a connection with “Doc” Jones but never acted on it because of his ex-girlfriend. While on duty, a grenade is launched at the military outpost, and both Nick and Doc are injured. That instant he realizes life is too short and wants Doc in his life, but Doc’s critical injury takes her home to the States for medical treatment before he can make his feelings known.

Meanwhile, Nick hasn’t shared his injury with his parents and he’s feeling homesick. He decides to surprise them for Christmas knowing that being close to family will help heal his feelings of depression and loneliness. Before he left Afghanistan, and at the urging of his therapist, he set up a profile on a military date site, Military Assistance Dating Website. MadWebs set up a blind date for Nick, to help overcome the disappoint of his girlfriend’s betrayal. The name of the blind date is “Angelina.” Boy, was he pleasantly surprised Angelina is actually Doc. Nick and Angelina finally reconnect and they have an inspiring evening of romance. I was glad that Nick was so right for Angelina. She is still healing and learning to cope with her injuries but Nick assures her of how beautiful she is to him.

Though the writing was a bit choppy at times, the pacing was perfect. I really enjoyed the likeable characters and the plot. It’s a lovely romantic ending.

My rating: 3.5

3.0 out of 5 stars 3 stars = I liked it and it was a GOOD read
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2014
So I learned something new about myself while reading A Saint’s Salvation … I am not a fan of books in which the author tells me what is occurring, rather than showing me what is going on. By this I mean that rather than being inside Nick’s head and being “shown” his thoughts and feelings (e.g., Nick cleared his throat loudly, frustrated by her lack of her response), the author tells me what he is feeling (e.g., Nick felt as if he was unraveling). While narrative story telling is a perfectly acceptable style of writing, personally it prevents me from connecting with the character and thus reduces my enjoyment of the book. That being said, Ms. Ovalle does a good job writing this way and has produced a well-written story. I liked the verbal interactions between Nick and Doc and found the sex scenes to be quite enjoyable. I especially appreciated the message that A Saint’s Salvation sends regarding Doc’s injury. Even though this wasn’t my cup of tea, this was a good read and I would recommend it to readers who enjoy this style of writing.

I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

2.0 out of 5 stars 1.5 Stars
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2016
I was provided a copy of A Saint’s Salvation and I really wanted to like this story; I really, really did.  Ultimately, I think it was a culmination of the story being written in third person, and the unrealistic feel that kept me from engaging.

It starts off with both, Saint and Angel, getting hurt and Saint saving her life.  They are together for a brief time in the hospital, where Saint keeps Angels spirits up.  Saint is redeployed and Angel is shipped back home.  For some random reason, Saint goes to California and gets to see all his extended family for some touchy feely “we all love you-miss you-we are so proud of you time.” That added nothing to the story, other than to try and show us what a great guy Saint was; we already learned that from him saving Angel’s life.  Need I forget, random strangers doing wonderful acts of goodness for a military man.  This is one I hope and wish were true, since I have family who are active and retired military, and have nothing but love for our military.

Then saint heads to Chicago to go on a blind date arranged through a military dating service. Oh, and the hotel has paid for the room because of his service to our country.  Coincidentally, Angel is there, and happens to be his date; it's destiny, like I said, unrealistic feel.  Then Ovalle used two words that utterly ruin a love scene for me, snatch and the dreaded c word.  Yep that one!   
I am really going to have to go with 1.5 stars on this one.  I liked Angel’s character; I always like a strong female character, the rest of the story, not so much....Sara
