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.

1.5

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.

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.
