A decent erotica, but what I enjoyed most was the reflection on religion. The main character's agony over his job as a priest and his love of a woman is not unique to literature, but it felt elevated. Like reading an old novel. The sex was "spicy" but I think parts were boring.
The third act breakup and eventual getting back together kept this book from being truly good. I was hoping he'd realize she was the one that got away and gave him the impetus to see what kind of life he actually wanted to live. But they get back together fast and it's just...meh.
