Personally I enjoyed this book at first but then when I sat and contemplated about it I had some troubles with it. That third act break up needed to be longer and more of an emotional response not a sexual one. Also the mmc had no character development. He didn’t fix his troubles at all or what was on his mind.

Well... if you are Catholic, the protagonist use the term of "Lamb", use the Holy Oils as lube. You can read it, but stay open minded. Other than that, it's really good if you want to read something with a Priest related tbh

Good but the Puppy got on my nerves.

Like girl you need to communicate with your partner you are not 14 anymore, you have to open your Boca.
You broke his and your heart.

Didn't expect this book to be so deep, like I was kind of expecting a priest who was a priest just by the name, someone who didn't really care but Tyler isn't like this at all.

I just love him, even though he is dumb.

WOW. um... what can i say. the smut was DEFINITELY there, the plot not so much for me. i didn't feel a genuine love connection between the mc's. their relationship felt rushed and unrealistic, but don't get me wrong their sexual connection was unmatched. the romantic part just fell flat for me but what can i say, i started it for the smut anyway. and in a way, it felt healing to my religious trauma tbh🤷🏽‍♀️

I read this for January’s Cliterature book club. This was for me an introduction into the world of spicy books. At first I was unsure if it was for me but I loved it. 

The dynamic between the main characters was interesting and engaging. The spicy scenes never felt like too much (although if you are religious I would consider maybe not picking this book up). 

The romance between the two man characters had me rooting for their love. However the last part of the book was not what I was expecting and I’m not sure how I feel about it. Regardless I cannot wait to continue on in the series.

If you are someone who is devoted to god and doesn’t enjoy reading about sacrilege this book might not be for you.

Although I didn't particularly enjoy it, I didn't dislike it enough to hate it. The more accurate description was I was able to tolerate it enough. There was little to no plot, and the characters were flat. In all honesty, their relationship appeared more lustful than loving. The smut was okay at first, but I eventually grew tired of it and skipped over those scenes about halfway through.

I only read this because it was book club #4's pick of the month. I know I could DNF it, but I wanted to finish it so I can join in the discussion.
