Reviews with content warning for Rape - Priest

This book made me feel nasty in both good and bad ways lol. Even though I’m not a devout Catholic this book made me want to pray all the mysteries of the rosary, make a confession, and hear mass for every feisty chapter. I haven’t read many taboo romance novels and this one was pretty entertaining, especially the earlier parts where the build-up was too damn much and how the sex scenes were paralleled with the Catholic faith and its doctrines and traditions.

If you’re looking for a novel where a hot priest falls in love and does blasphemous sex with an equally hot woman, read this book ASAP.

0 fucking stars this was horrible. Don’t waste your time. All of that and for what? I haven’t hated characters that much in a minute. Little lamb??? The breakup?? THEM GETTING BACK TOGETHER?????? That angered me to my very core. I wanted them to stay apart sooooo badly.
So disappointed. smh

A decent erotica, but what I enjoyed most was the reflection on religion. The main character's agony over his job as a priest and his love of a woman is not unique to literature, but it felt elevated. Like reading an old novel. The sex was "spicy" but I think parts were boring.

The third act breakup and eventual getting back together kept this book from being truly good. I was hoping he'd realize she was the one that got away and gave him the impetus to see what kind of life he actually wanted to live. But they get back together fast and it's just...meh.

A good book for straightforward smut. The plot was very clear. We all knew why we were there.
