Priest
by Sierra Simone
🎧 Audiobook
This book was just not it. Honestly only thing that kept it at 2 stars and not 1, or even as DNF, was for having Jacob Morgan as the narrator.
From the start it’s all just insta-love spurred on by lust and the MCs being led by their teenage-level of self control around sex. They look at each other and the next thing you know clothes are being pushed out the way instead of being taken off because they can’t keep it in their pants long enough. There is just enough hint of a plot, though predictable as it is, to keep the story moving - up until the “twist” from where it just nose dives and becomes borderline unbearable.
*spoilers ahead!*
When the MCs have their third act breakup, and the fallout being the epitome of predictable and cliche, it just got annoying. After months of heartbreak moved through, as the MMC says, in fashion of a movie montage pitty party for one, it comes to light that it was all due to “I did it for you” and a whopping miscommunication trope. You then get the MCs confessing their still undying love for one another (which is honestly just them thinking of nothing other than screwing each other in public yet again, and in the church in broad daylight yet again) with a marriage proposal sprinkled in after just working through that he is in fact not mad at her after barely learning all his assumptions were actually incorrect. The ending of this book just had me upset and honestly made me wish I had never spent the time on it to start with.
**There is nothing bad on the narrators with this review, as they were simply reading the story given to them - and they made do with what they had. And had I been reading instead of listening I would have never finished it.
