Wow this was 🔥🔥🔥. A former Dom who is now a priest and a former stripper who enters his confessional. I am sure you can imagine where this is going…

Obviously the taboo romance elements and spice are 👩🏻‍🍳💋. I give it 4 1/2 🌶️. Though I almost DNF’d because the self recrimination at the beginning was…a lot.

But that is not the most interesting thing about this book.

I was baptized Catholic though never practiced, and later baptized again in a non-denominational Christian church. I do not currently identify as Christian and though I recognize certain spiritual elements to my life, they are more tied to nature and community.

And we all know there are plenty of bad things about the Catholic Church, many of which figure into the plot of this novel. But I have to say that the way that the author writes about Catholicism, reconciliation, ritual, and the presence of capital G God, is really quite beautiful.

I found this book through a random TikTok and given the previous books I've read from similar findings, I didn't hold out much hope. There is a lot of smut, and well written smut too. The writing style of the author is actually really good and it surprised me given the usual writing styles being stunted and quite childish. This book was written in a very mature way and the writing style displayed this in well structured sentences and flowing conversations that didn't feel as if was a jumble of words falling from a teenagers mouth.
This story held heavy under-tones of sexual abuse within the church so I definitely think that warrants a trigger warning for those who may find reading such things difficult as it is obviously tied into a story of hot and heavy lust coupled with filthy smut.
The overall concept was good and I enjoyed reading a religious based book with other themes I also enjoy. There wasn't an overbearing amount of religion in the sense it didn't feel preachy and it also didn't slander those of religious belief.
Over all it was an interesting read and one I was pleasantly surprised with. I am keen to read some of the authors other books as a comparison and see how their writing style continues.

If you want a religious and smutty book. This one is for you. Priest gets down with a woman who comes into his church. Things happen. Not a lot of plot per se but lots of spice and the spice was goooood lol. Will be reading the rest of the series for sure.

had to push myself to finish this book because i hate dnf’ing. this book was 98% single pov and, in my opinion, lacked a storyline. i understood the concept, but struggled to feel the connection between the characters. i’m a spice lover and even though there was plenty of spice in this book, i wasn’t feeling it at all. i was excited for this prior to reading it and i’m disappointed that i didn’t enjoy it as much as other people did. i’ve heard the next two in the series are somewhat better, so i might give those a try. given the concept and the whole priest thing, i think this could’ve been written better / gone a different way to be more enjoyable.
