5.0

I went into this with some hesitations because normally priests aren't my thing, but I ended up absolutely loving this book!  

Adam Goode is a preacher and all-around good guy!  So imagine his surprise when everything he knows is flipped upside down.   

Sage is wild, tattooed, and not the "good girl." Adam is supposed to be around!  

I loved their story, and it you will to if you like
♡Good guy
♡Wild girl
♡Finding yourself 
♡S*x clubs
♡revenge

This was so enjoyable, and I can't wait to read the next book!

Y'all, the way I had zero chill when this hit my kindle and I didn't put it down until I reached the last page.

This is the book I wanted Priest to be.
• Fake Dating
• Age Gap
• Opposites Attract
• Preacher's Son

Adam is assistant Preacher to his father, who is well known as the pinnacle of godliness.
But when Adam finds out his father frequents the local sex club in secret, the life he thought he led comes crashing down.

Adam joins forces with Sage, a tatted bartender, to publicly humiliate and expose his father through their fake relationship.

Nothing is ever as it seems with Sara Cate's books, in the very best way. Her characters are always fully fleshed, and she has such a way of bringing them through their internal struggles.

I loved Adam's journey from righteous and suffocated to finding that his spirituality can co-exist outside the confines of others' expectations.

Who decides what true worthiness looks like anyway?

I received a complimentary copy from the author; all opinions are my own.
