Preemptively writing my review at 50% as I know I will finish this book today for the sake of finishing it.

There really is no plot progression or maybe I'm just less of a contemporary fan as I thought. I love smut or erotica but I prefer it with a more developed story. It's funny to say that the story was secondary to the spice but the spice was also few and far between. Even if you can consider this a smut book, there aren’t enough spicy scenes to give proper consideration for the lack of intrigue in the story or character development. As much as I love the premise (forbidden romance, potentially blasphemous), there was so much lacking. The story did not make up for the smut and the smut did not make up for the story. 

Update after finishing:
I still stand by what I said, but I am overall glad there is a happy ending. There are misunderstandings and unnecessary angsty moments that were an irritating development towards the end which is why I kept my rating at 2 stars. But otherwise content with the happy ending.
