I don't know whether to call this book an erotic novel, a taboo novel or a dark novel, but I would say a taboo novel.

I started reading this book in English and I think that's what motivated me to keep reading at the time. The original writing of the book is very good and the smut scenes and character development are well formed for the type of book it is, and since this is an erotic book with character development, I can see that the author has taken care of that.

The problem is towards the end, I thought the book got really boring, always with the same story, him obsessing over her, then something would happen and he'd really start to think like a normal person and then when I least expected it, he'd made up his mind again and screwed off ahahaha

The book itself is just what I was expecting, spicy smut all over the place, as is obvious right up to the end, sometimes suddenly and just out of the blue, but if, like me, you want to read something more spicy with a bit of taboo in between, this book is a good option.

All the love!

Plot 2/5

Spice 5/5

The spicy scenes were hottttttttt but the plot was not

This book is perfect if you’re looking for smut and nothing else - will I re read? Probably because those spicy scenes got me

Good for a quick smut fix but the plot was meh

Count how many times the Walking Dead was mentioned

It's not what I expected but also exactly what I expected? If you are more of a praise-preferring reader, you will have a lot of moments when you shake your head and go ew.

2.5 ⭐️ — this was. . . odd to me. but it was alright.

This was a struggle to finish. It was boring. The entire book I was waiting for something exciting to happen.

dnf 51% I give up here. I'm not strong enough to continue. This story is basically about Tayler Bell being horny 24/7. "Don’t jump her bones. Don’t fantasize about fucking her tits. Be a good priest." "Her eyelashes made me hard. That was a new benchmark for me, I had to admit." I was terrified that her nails would turn him on later. "But mostly I was so fucking hard I couldn’t think straight." Of course you were. Being horny was your entire personality at this point. Let’s not forget about our second main character, Poppy. She was also horny 24/7. I know. Shocking. "The last time, when we talked, I got so hot talking to you. I thought if it happened again today, it would be easier if I didn’t wear panties. To…take care of it. And it was easier.” “I wanted to be fucked, fucked and used. I wanted to be filled with someone’s dick, I wanted to have fingers in my mouth and in my cunt. In my ass.” She took a breath." You know, they actually were a match made in heaven. "I was supposed to be a shepherd of the flock, not the wolf. Not the wolf who had woken up this morning grinding his hips into the mattress because he’d had a very intense dream with Poppy and her carnal sins in a starring role." I was terrified. Again. I think Father Bell was born with a very rare disease where instead of thinking with his brain, he does it with his dick. "I wanted to marry this woman or collar her or cage her; I wanted to own her, make her, take her; I wanted us on this old carpet forever, with her hair coming undone and her nipples hard and her naughty pussy milking my dick for everything it was worth." He'd known her for less than a month and thought that? You met up maybe four times and talked for twenty minutes altogether. It might be me, but the brackets? I mean, maybe more what was in them. "(Plus there was the distracting fact that the last time I saw her, I’d ended up jizzing all over my desk.)" Jizzing??? Sounds poetic. Yeah. I was done.

I almost dnf’d this book because it started off way too fast. I know it’s fiction but there has to be some kind of slow burn somewhere! What do you mean he just meets this woman and is jacking off in his office because of her VOICE. You mean to tell me that a priest is willing to turn his back on everything he believes in because one woman enters his life? Three years of celibacy and priesthood down the drain because he just has to have a woman he doesn’t even know. Not only that, all they do is fuck and do sexual things and yet they’re falling in love? Please. I didn’t find that this book had a whole lot of substance or plot. And I wanted to see a darker side of the priest. There was all this talk about “releasing the beast” and he never really did. And the end infuriated me because he went through all of that pain just for poppy to disappear. I know it ended better than that but I’m still pissed off about it. I’d probably only recommend this book if someone wanted a smut read because that’s all it really is.

5 stars. amazing. i never thought i’d ever read this book but i am so happy i did. 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

oh my god. no book has made me feel every single possible emotion in existence like this one. there were moments where i felt all possible hope, and at one point absolutely nothing. AND THE STEAMY STUFF- DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON IT IM SCREAMING INTO MY PILLOW. pacing was amazing, and the ending left me happy asf.

LITERALLY HAD ME GIGGLING TWIRLING MY HAIR AND SHITTING DAWG

this is literally the definition of : forgive me father i have sinned. i literally read it in literature class, amazing

I don't know what it is about these church related dirty romances but it really does something for me. I loved this book. Father Tyler Bell and Poppy Danforth are two characters that I will never forget. I loved the passion, connection and fire between them. The sex? My god, I was blushing. Multiple times. I mean it’s embarrassing, I read dirty stuff all the time but this? This was on another level of sinful and dirty. I loved it. I’m not a huge fan of religious undertones in the romances that I read but there's certain authors that really pull it off for me and help me look past it. Sierra Simone is one of those. Since I was listening to this on audio, which I highly recommend, I had to stop and start it multiple times because I was so scared to see where they would end up. The audio for this book made the reading experience even better. Jacob Morgan and Elena Wolfe did such an amazing job narrating these characters. My one little sang I have is I wish we got more from Poppy’s POV but the little bits we did get were gold. But other than that I really loved this book. Highly recommend. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What the hell did I just read?

Somehow I knew what I was getting into when I started this one but was also unprepared at the same time. So the plot wasn’t really a thing in this book. Honestly there was one thing discussed really and it was so repetitive that you just wanted to throttle the characters but it was pretty much the only point of the book.

The spice though🥵

I was not ready for that and honeslty no church would be prepared for Tyler and Poppy if I’m going to be honest. I’m kind if afraid of what this series will have next.

OH MY GOD THIS BOOK IS PERFECT. I finished it in under 24 hours. This book just kept me coming back. It is truly perfect. The perfect balance between storyline, love, and sex. The perfect pace. And everything about this book is pure perfection.

Why do I even put myself through this. I want to say this book had my questioning if the author should've been allowed to put pen to paper, but then again I did binge it in a day. You read it for what it is and it's exactly what you get. Everything was exaggerated but who wasn't expecting that. Intense spice, not much of a plotline and enjoyable characters makes for a book I'm glad to have read but have nothing extraordinary to say about.

The book will have you wanting to go to church for all the wrong reasons

ew.

I enjoyed this book, I got into it pretty much straight away. The only thing was, the sexual parts got a bit repetitive. Plus, they both annoyed me at different points of the story.

WOW!! That was really good. I absolutely loved every little detail about this book. Probably the best book I’ve read this year
