We’re all going to hell for this one huh

Truly though, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the writing, the characters and the romance. It's definitely deeper than I thought it would be going into it.

Interesting concept with a love story involving a priest but disappointing trope of miscommunication, not into the smut - too much  forceful language teetering on non consensual, would suit those into degrading.

This is the absolute worst book I have ever read. The smut is fine but the actual plot of the book is horrible and the main characters are the most insufferable people I have ever read about. Tyler is a misogynist who keeps calling himself “a feminist ally” and then thinks things like “Sean yelped like a girl”. Poppy thinks about no one but herself, I mean who shows up at someone else’s door at 3am because they can’t sleep? It was insufferable to read and I can’t understand why people like this book outside of the mediocre smut.

Okay so the book is mainly smut-driven & I'm not huge on "we just fuck and do some pillow talking & now I'm in love with you. I did enjoy reading about Tyler & his struggles etc. And he was just about the only likeable character (with the granny, Millie I think?). Neither cared about nor liked anyone else. Being close (for no reason) to the love interest is legit the 'villains' only redemption arc. Weak. If it was just smut without anything else (no blackmail, no de-priesting; we're in it for the priest afterall) it would be great.


ALSO SPOILER ALERT?? idunnowhatsgoingon

Was she pregnant at the end?? Like I thought so?? But did they say it??
