Priest by Sierra Simone

Priest, Book 1

Synopsis: 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.
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.

Review: I have this novel for a long time but it took me a lot of motivation to finally start it. It’s not because the reviews were bad, no, but it’s not necessarily my style of romance. Eroticism mixed with religion does not necessarily attract me. But here I am finally and while I was expecting the worst, I found that the novel was pleasant to read. Yes, because the writing is fluid and the style of the author is well mastered.

You can guess with the synopsis that the story is about a priest who will break his vows to sleep with a young woman and we follow their relationship over time. Although everything was quite well done, some things made me a little uncomfortable like the use of holy oil as a lubricant or the intimate relationships on the altar.

It was an ok novel and I’m sure it will please fans of the genre but I must admit that this is not necessarily for me.
