To say something more: surprising mix of some seriously hot smut with deeply religious reflections. Don't read if you can't stand biblical quotes. Do read if you are still thinking about THAT confession scene from Fleabag.

I also like the romance and love that's mixed all up in there and seeing Tyler fighting and coming to terms with his feelings for Poppy knowing the consequences of them and all the rules he's breaking being a priest, but not being able to stop himself from falling for her no matter how hard he tries.
The consent in this book is one of my favorite parts of this story. I'm always looking for that clear consent in a book and this author delivered.
I can't recommend this book enough.
