I know I said Priest was amazing, but somehow Sinner is even better. I related to Sean and Zenny a lot more than Tyler and Poppy, I guess thats because I’m no longer religious despite being the daughter and granddaughter of ministers? Either way the spice is incredible and damn it I definitely have a teacher/student kink 😅

I prefer Tyler, no lie; but Sean is pretty awesome, too. Zenny’s adorable. Would die for her happiness.

Well - I enjoyed this one 100X more than Priest! And it made me CRY, damn you...what kind of erotic romance book makes a gal cry?!

Major TWs not related to the main couple, but are a significant plot point:

Mama Bell's terminal cancer diagnosis, her subsequent treatment/palliative care, ending with her death

. Having this element really helped round out Sean's character development and seemed much more fulsome than Tyler's character arc in Priest.

Where I found Priest straight-up erotica, I felt there was a more nuanced approach to the 'romantic' elements with the relationship between Sean & Zenny. While it was still definitely an insta-love(lust) situation, incorporating the teacher/student helped cement their relationship for me.

I’ll rate this later today

Later today: TW: dead sister, terminally ill mother. 4,5 stars and the half I’m subtracting is for the “what if I was 17?” And because of the slightly cringe. Also if I didn’t enjoy romance novels so much and the whole religion aspect of this book this would probably get a 4 or 3,5 star rating but the religion part really overshadowed every other storyline for me.

I was not expecting to relate to Sean so much and I wish I would’ve had this book to read when I was younger (without all the sex though please) because 7– 11 year old me really needed it. This is the only book I’ve read where the main character is angry at God and feels like his family betray him when they talk about him or pray or anything like that. I was not expecting this book to get so deep on the religious aspect but I’m glad it did because it gave me something to relate to and to point at when I need to explain how I felt at one point.

This is also the first book where the main character has a younger sister that passed away and it didn’t feel weird or sad to read, it felt like Sean was a lot like me. However I don’t think I’ll be reading any other books with that and I will keep on actively avoiding them.

I don’t think there was any blasphemy in this book so 😅

OH MY GOSH!! Forgot to say but HISTORICAL ROMANCE LOVERS REP!!!

HOLY CRAP THAT WAS HOT!!!! I was pleasantly surprised when I started reading this book and not only were the words on the pages hot but the narrator’s voice who made them come to life was ALSO hot.

Usually I wouldn’t be fine with the characters knowing each other previously if they had such a huge age gap aka 15 years BUT the last time they saw each other the fmc was 7 and then they had no contact with each other until the fmc was 21 and the mmc 36 WHERE the mmc didn’t even recognize the fmc and when he found out she was 21 he felt weird about liking someone that young.

I really liked this book! Every character was so reflective and once again I was fascinated by the insides on religion!! Towards the end I felt like everything was progressing a little fast but overall it was a great read:)
