I almost dnf’d this book because it started off way too fast. I know it’s fiction but there has to be some kind of slow burn somewhere! What do you mean he just meets this woman and is jacking off in his office because of her VOICE. You mean to tell me that a priest is willing to turn his back on everything he believes in because one woman enters his life? Three years of celibacy and priesthood down the drain because he just has to have a woman he doesn’t even know. Not only that, all they do is fuck and do sexual things and yet they’re falling in love? Please. I didn’t find that this book had a whole lot of substance or plot. And I wanted to see a darker side of the priest. There was all this talk about “releasing the beast” and he never really did. And the end infuriated me because he went through all of that pain just for poppy to disappear. I know it ended better than that but I’m still pissed off about it. I’d probably only recommend this book if someone wanted a smut read because that’s all it really is.
