The first part of the book starts out predictable like other smutty books. Then out of nowhere you’re hit with tense waves of concern and contemplation. 

Beautiful.

I know I said Priest was amazing, but somehow Sinner is even better. I related to Sean and Zenny  a lot more than Tyler and Poppy, I guess thats because I’m no longer religious despite being the daughter and granddaughter of ministers? Either way the spice is incredible and damn it I definitely have a teacher/student kink 😅

Well - I enjoyed this one 100X more than Priest! And it made me CRY, damn you...what kind of erotic romance book makes a gal cry?!

Major TWs not related to the main couple, but are a significant plot point:

Mama Bell's terminal cancer diagnosis, her subsequent treatment/palliative care, ending with her death

. Having this element really helped round out Sean's character development and seemed much more fulsome than Tyler's character arc in Priest.

Where I found Priest straight-up erotica, I felt there was a more nuanced approach to the 'romantic' elements with the relationship between Sean & Zenny. While it was still definitely an insta-love(lust) situation, incorporating the teacher/student helped cement their relationship for me.
