Overall, the book was ok. It had the potential to be fantastic based on the plot line but some scenes were cut too short and the small time jumps (days or hours) made it too choppy; pieces of the story were missing. Eden’s character also read as very immature which threw me off since she went through some very tough situations that usually age someone pretty fast. Love me some, Father Roman Briar though.
Pros:
- Roman using the pet name “Angel” & his filthy mouth
- Their possessives over each other.
- They both get to heal and grow together in their own way and their faith is restored.
Cons:
- How is he blatantly invading her space in public (coffee shop and fair) and no one notices or catches on based on their demeanor. It’s like they’re living in an invisible bubble.
- Insta-lust - it was out of place
It’s still better than Priest so it gives me hope for the books with a priest MMC. I will definitely read another book by this author - I have my eye on Teacher’s Pet.
I wanted to like this book sooooooooooo bad but the writing is soooo strange like. I the unnecessary detail. there is a thing such as TOO much world building, or overly describing something, and/or adding in unnecessary words and sentences to talk about something. this happened every single damn page. like him describing his tattoos in chapter 8
"Having showered to clear my thoughts, I walk around the space in a pair of sweats, my tattoo starting at my neck, traveling down my side, curling up my back, and descending to my arms, hiding the array of scars dancing around my skin. Twisting thorns and vines, the piece took hours, the pain of the scarred skin being poked by the needle one of the more pleasurable pains I have had to endure in my lifetime."
and when he was looking on fathers kevin computer, he went from talking about what's on the computer to what david said to eden's eyes to wanting to call eden in literally ONE sentence I kid you not
"Trying to piece together what could be so important in the document, the crude behavior David displayed nags at my mind, Edens's wide eyes watching me leave consuming me, my phone burning in my pocket, begging me to utilize her number."
i'm soo glad I didn't pay for this book and only read it on KU
If you like over descriptive bullshit with no substance and insta lust with soo much unnecessary words that it almost sounds JUMBLED while reading it then this one is FOR YOU.
I read books for the vibe and a good time but this was sadly neither.
OH and one more thing... The spice wasn't even good!

This was so poorly written
niet eens gelezen maar ik ben jarig en zag de traumatische beschrijving op TikTok van dit boek dus ik mag dit lekker 1 ster geven en voor mijn boekengoal laten tellen
There is a lot of spice and dark romance, I enjoyed some of the book but felt it a bit predictable and couldn’t agree with some of the characters behavior. The romance move pretty quickly and I felt like there wasn’t much of a connection, it definitely could have been done better. I wanted to know how the story ended but I did not like how the two main characters were a bit immature. It was an okay book for me. I don’t think I’ll think about it again
