Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned… and I loved every second of it.

This audiobook? Unholy.
Inspired by Priest by Sierra Simone (or at least, that's the vibe it gave me. But darker), it dives headfirst into the depths of dark, forbidden lust and doesn’t come up for air. The spice? Absolutely filthy. The tension? Criminal. And let’s not even talk about the confessional scenes—because girl, you already know.

But here’s the twist—beneath the nine inches of throbbing sin (yes, NINE INCHES LONG AND THREE WIDE?!), there’s a serious darkness too. Themes of self-harm, mental and physical abuse, knife play, blood play… this isn’t just a raunchy romp through a rectory. It’s layered, disturbing at times, and yes, icky in moments that almost felt like they were glamorizing pain.

Yet somehow… I couldn’t stop.
“Come all over this crucifix so I can taste your pain.”
EXCUSE ME?! WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST LISTEN TO?!

And don’t even get me started on that ending. What was that?! Who gave these people the right?! Glad it was something close to a happy ever after.

Let me just say this: do not—I repeat, do not—listen to this in public. You’ll need a cold shower, a therapist, and probably a few more confessions.

I need to lie down. Holy. Shit.

THIS BOOK LIVES RENT FREE IN MY HEAD. I adored this book. I loved the drama, the honest questions regarding religion, the relationship between Eden and the Priest. It was such a great story. I wish the ending had been a little more detailed and longer but that was probably just because I wanted to read more about them.

Je m’attendais Ă  dĂ©couvrir une relation passionnelle et interdite, empreinte de tension. J’aurais aimĂ© que le dilemme auquel est confrontĂ© le protagoniste soit davantage approfondi et que son tiraillement intĂ©rieur soit plus palpable. L’histoire m’a semblĂ© prĂ©cipitĂ©e, et je n’ai pas perçu ce qui unissait vĂ©ritablement les deux amants en dehors du sexe. (Je suis peut-ĂŞtre passĂ©e Ă  cĂ´tĂ© de certaines choses).
