There are many rules a priest can't break. A priest cannot marry. A priest cannot abandon his flock. A priest cannot forsake his God.

I've always been good at following rules.  Until she came. Then I learned new rules.

My name is Tyler Anselm Bell. I'm twenty-nine years old. Six months ago, I broke my vow of celibacy on the altar of my own church, and God help me, I would do it again.

I am a priest and this is my confession.

A Love Story (Priest #1)

Priest

Anastasia Vogl

Srijita Sarkar 

I hadn’t counted on how perfect her delicate wrist would feel with my fingers wrapped around it, as if God had made it for the sole purpose of me holding.

Jealousy is wanting what someone else has, like for example, wanting the same kind of car or house as a neighbor. (Or wanting to be the man who owns your girlfriend’s heart rather than some WASP-y asshole who probably has a drawer just for all of his cuff links.)

Envy is hating the fact that someone else has something you don’t, and hating them for having it, like wanting to slash your neighbor’s tires because he doesn’t fucking deserve a BMW and everyone fucking knows it, and if you can’t have it, then it’s no fucking fair that he gets to have one either.

I was suppoped to be a shepherd of the flock, not the wolf.

Levi-Mae 

‘I am a priest and this my confession.’

‘I wanted to take her into my arms and kiss away every single year.’

‘I wanted her at everything: I wanted to see her everywhere.’

‘I sensed she was so much more. Messy and passionate and raw and creative—a cyclone forced into an eggshell. Small wonder the shell had broken.’

“I would stand on my own two feet or not at all.”

‘As if there were any universe in which I’d be allowed to feel possessive of Poppy Danforth.’

‘Because she was beautiful all the time, but happy? Happy, she was fucking 

‘I had to know what she was going to say, and if I didn’t, I would die.’

‘This feeling of being too small, too awful, for anything less than hell.’

“This is love, I thought dizzily, wondrously. This is what laying down a cross feels like. This is what taking up a new life feels like…it feels like Poppy Danforth. And as I intoned the final words of the rosary, I almost forgot whom I was praying to.

Hail holy queen…our sweetness and our hope.”

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.

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.

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.

A Love Story

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.

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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. 

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.

What the hell did I just read?

The smut in the book is great. Growing up being at church every Sunday and now that I can’t imagining doing that anymore as an adult(views have change on religion) definitely a fun read. Story line/plot overall not great. Ending was predictable. 

Katherine Pierce

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

It was a good balance of smut and plot. It broke my heart when poppy cheated but I still carried on to find a very good reason behind it.I loved it but its that heartbreak which made me want to stop but that’s the good part of the book, when I feel like I am the one it’s happening to I love being part of the story and when poppy broke his heart it was like it was me who she cheated on.

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.  

Jodie Reads

I was a little nervous going into this because I don’t like reading books about religion, but it didn’t make me as mad as I thought it would.

This is definitely not a book to read for the plot, or even the characters honestly, because while I did like them, we never found out heaps about them, mainly poppy cause it’s not in her pov but I feel like I don’t know her very well or what her life was like. It is purely a book for entertainment- with a couple heavier topics.

I was going to rate this 3.5 but I didn’t because the ending pissed me off so much, this is kind of how it went: one night poppy and Tyler are happy and in love and whatever, and then the next day she kisses her ex, moves away and never contacts Tyler again, he’s the one that found her, after TEN MONTHS, like why that whole thing was so unnerving and so annoying, the only acceptable thing that could have happened was if sterling like kidnapped her or something, but no literally nothing happened to make her not talk to Tyler for 10 months.

Anyway, overall this was fun and smutty and I would recommend it if that’s what your in the mood for. I’m very excited to read the other two, I think they will be a lot better.
