I now have a love hate relationship with this book. It was amazing….until the last chapter. I’m still mad at Poppy for that ending. Epilogue was good though. But that last chapter had me wanting to throw the book across the room.

WOW. um... what can i say. the smut was DEFINITELY there, the plot not so much for me. i didn't feel a genuine love connection between the mc's. their relationship felt rushed and unrealistic, but don't get me wrong their sexual connection was unmatched. the romantic part just fell flat for me but what can i say, i started it for the smut anyway. and in a way, it felt healing to my religious trauma tbh🤷🏽‍♀️

I told myself I wasn’t gonna read it as a former Christian. And then it went on sale in the Kindle store and I couldn’t say no. I can safely say I do not regret it at all. It is pure taboo but man is it hot. I definitely related to both Tyler and Poppy, as I have been both of them. As the daughter & granddaughter of ministers I felt weird reading Priest, but also freed.
