I first approached this book with a little bit of trepidition. I'm not particularly religious and I hate proselytizing, so I was cautiously optimistic (based on the ratings) that this wouldn't be a sermon masquerading as a romance. I am glad to say that it wasn't like that at all. In fact, it turned out to be a pretty sweet love story featuring two very likeable MC's. It sure made a nice change from some of the more emotionally taxing books I've read recently. 4 stars

I love pairings that you think will be hard to pull off, but the authors did a wonderful job with this priest/rock star second-chance romance. Loved the dynamic between the two men, especially since a lot of the story takes place in their childhood hometown. Gotta love it when they end up in a place where they have history!

This book was awesome! I'm Catholic so it was nice to see Jasper so connected to his faith, even being gay. I think society today makes it seem like it's one or the other...being gay or being religious. But I don't think that's fair and it shouldn't be that way. I think the book dealt with the subject very well and I commend the authors for a job well done on such a risky topic.

“…hoping to fill the place inside that just wanted your goddamn smile; your hand in mine. Just your presence. Just to hear you breathe.”
5% in and i already knew this would be a masterpiece

Jasper is an out and proud priest, speaking out for LGBTQ community and the church's acceptance. That is until Nicky comes back to town. #BlastFromThePast
2. The Plot:
The book is all about struggle... Jasper struggling with his feelings and attraction and his faith, Nicky struggling with addiction and forgiveness, and his music, Both of them struggling to stay friends and ignore their feelings that never went away... #TheStruggleIsReal
3. The Romance:
This progressed so flawlessly... the way they came back to each other, the way their feelings manifested again, and the way they let go and became happy.... #GrabThatSecondChance

Just like everything Leta writes... this was hot, sweet, and filthy all in the same breathe. #MakingUpForLostTime

difficult in parts but great end
This book deals with a few different issues, addiction, mental disorders, and faith in God, to name a few. I did feel that they were all handled well. I wasn’t sure how it would work in the end but it has a very happy ending!
