Outside of fanfiction, this is one of the filthiest things I’ve ever read. The things they do in this book

ON THE ALTAR?????

are deranged and I loved it. However, I felt like there were some missed opportunities for plot. We don’t really get to delve into their characters outside of the smut, and I think it could given us more of a reason to like them as individuals. It definitely would gave made the sex hotter if we’d seen some growth happening too. Perhaps this is a lot to  ask for a filthy, taboo romance, but if you’re interested in some taboo Shenanigans, you’ve come to the right place

rosage's review against another edition

first off, the main piece of personality we get from the mmc is that he is a priest and that he likes the walking dead. the fmc has NO personality whatsoever. the writing also isn’t great in general. the 130 year old woman was the only character i liked and she had about 10 sentences total. i was so looking forward to this book and it was so popular on booktok but it does not live up to the hype at all and i was incredibly disappointed.

This book is an amazing taboo romance. The characters are well developed and the plot is just as good as the spice. What makes this book really interesting is most of the book is written from the MMC's perspective with a few science from the FMC's perspective.

I struggled slightly with the religious side of this book, I am an atheist and don't believe in God or a higher power so reading about how strong and rooted these characters beliefs were was admittedly slightly difficult for me. However, it was interesting to allow myself to learn more about the Christian mindset, if it is truly how it is represented in this book, and the reasoning behind their faith. I found the couple frustrating at times but overall I did enjoy the book and its message.

BLASPHEMIES ALL OVER! I laughed so hard, it was just too much blasphemies, but somehow it was still very religious. It would have been a 3 star review but the miscommunication trope is always a big no for me. And definitely I will not read the other books in the series.

Also, please check the trigger warnings. Mostly if you were surrounded somehow by religion.
