Priest: 1

Such an original book-I’m in love! I’ve never been a religious person myself but this book have changed the way I see religion.

Omg!🥵 Wow. This book might not be for everyone. I mean s€x inside a church?🙈 Though this book is very spicy and steamy. There is so much more to it . The book deals with so many things like fear, temptation, confusion, hope, love,jealousy ,empowerment,spirituality, forgiveness, and acceptance. Father Bell becomes a priest because of something very emotional and tragic that has happened in his past, though his parents aren't supportive of his decision to become a priest , he still goes ahead with it because he feels it's the right path for him. Poppy, a non Catholic woman, comes to him one day to confess some bad stuff she has done, and she awakens something in him. Poppy is a strong woman, she goes for what she wants and she is not apologetic about it. She is sensual, and she owns it. Should she seduce a priest ? I dono , maybe ?.🤣 Bell is constantly battling a war inside him. He is trying to resist temptation and do the right thing. He feels so guilty for all his actions, but at the same time he wants Poppy. He admires her. Sure there is physical attraction but he is also attracted to her mind and her strength. I loved this story , the romance and the steam❤️

Good, and raunchy

The cover is awesome. Forbidden romance . enjoyed it.

Page quality is good

The cover it seems the book was used before. Also there are lots of scratches in the book. Does not seems like a new fresh book. Also I was waiting for this book for so long because of the rain delay I finally got the book and now I have to return it because the book is in a poor quality.

Priest: A love story. Ha! I wish. More like a f*** story but without any substance or worth or moral. I hate to be disappointed, I hate to be wrong and this proved to be a disappointment because I was wrong when I predicted while reading the synopsis that this might be an enjoyable read. That I predicted while reading all those reviews that this story was worth discovering. A forbidden love story, the promise of sins and confessions, I thought this has potential but then I found out that this is just another overly sexed up plot with overly sexed up leads, the female a character-less/masochist/doormat with a penchant for self-degradation and the male, a guy with pent up testosterone but without an outlet. The guy's a doormat too actually like how he was salivating over her but never paid an ounce of interest to what kind of person she was, how sex took priority over her own self-respect, how she was ruining everything he held sacred and how easily she could do this with another guy. The whole plot revolves around that and sex and that's it. That's all there is to it, no romance, no intrigue, no mystery, nothing. What a poor read!

This taboo story is so sinful. I actually read Priest about 5 years ago, long before I started writing reviews. It seemed to me that prior to the release of Saint was the perfect time to get reacquainted with Father Bell and I can’t deny loving every moment of this deliciously hot story. I knew this story packed some heat, but in all honesty, I had forgotten most of the storyline so it felt like I was reading Priest for the very first time. This story is taboo so it won’t be to everyone’s liking. I do feel that I shouldn’t have enjoyed it as much as I did, but once you take away the dog collar this is essentially a love story between a man and a woman and I absolutely loved the way that Tyler explained his feelings surrounding this, especially regarding his relationship with God. I adore Tyler. OMG how could I not?? He not only got me hot under the collar (not his collar…. mine 😉) because of his looks and sexual preferences, but he has a fabulous personality too. He’s kind, caring and thoughtful…. the perfect package! I must admit that I wasn’t too certain of Poppy at times – and I loved this! I did question her intentions and reason for wanting Tyler - wondering if she was attracted to the man or the forbiddenness of having a relationship with him. Now that I have finished reading the book, I am unsure of how I feel about her overall. I see so much good in her but I don’t think we would be the best of friends in real life. I could see how perfect she and Tyler were for each other though. There is an instant attraction between Tyler and Poppy which develops rather quickly into more. You’re going to need cold showers throughout this story that is a certainty. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish. If you can handle the taboo, I have a feeling you’ll enjoy it too.

Eu li diversas opiniões sobre este livro: várias recomendações de blogs e elogios, algumas críticas desfavoráveis. A história é contada do ponto de vista de Tyler Bell, um padre católico de 29 anos que decide se unir à Igreja após uma tragédia familiar. Este foi um aspecto que me atraiu bastante no livro: o ponto de vista masculino, a oportunidade de sentir o que Padre Bell sentia, ouvir seus pensamentos e dúvidas, uma mistura de santidade e pecado. O diálogo interior de Tyler é muito bem escrito e realista e foi impossível não sentir empatia pelo personagem e suas dúvidas em relação à sua carreira e vocação religiosa a partir do momento em que ele conhece Poppy, uma jovem stripper que procura sua igreja em busca de conforto e orientação. A conexão entre os dois é imediata e logo a atração/paixão inicial se transforma em amor. Algumas críticas à este livro se referem ao relacionamento amoroso e sexual de Tyler e Poppy. Ora, sinceramente? O que se pode esperar de um romance entre um jovem padre e uma stripper cujas cenas se passam (90% delas, pelo menos) dentro de uma igreja? Se o leitor estiver esperando um romance casto, não irá encontrar neste aqui. Os encontros de Tyler e Poppy são fortes e com certeza não agradarão àqueles que recusam o tema deste livro. A história é bem contada e envolvente. Os personagens principais, Tyler e Poppy, são apaixonantes e o romance garante boa leitura e distração se o leitor não se assustar com um pouco (ou bastante) de ousadia. Recomendo, com certeza.

Oh! I loved this book! Very spicy!

Intriguée par le thème tabou prêtre/fidèle, je ne m'attendais pas à une telle claque. On plonge directement dans les pensées du personnage avec des descriptions très immersives, crues et graphiques. Une lecture choc, à ne pas mettre entre toutes les mains ! Je retire une étoile car il y a un manque d'équilibre dans ces moments d'intimité : si les émotions globales sont bien présentes, les réactions et les ressentis du personnage masculin manquent un peu de nuance et d'approfondissement à mon goût.

I read this book this summer & hadn't realized I didn't review. Well this is "A MUST READ BOOK". Do not let the taboo factor deter you from reading. Sierra Simone has penned a breathtaking tale of forbidden love that draws you in to the point that you will not want to put this book down. I couldn't get enough of Father Bell & Poppy. "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." The hot factor in this book is off the rails. It is like nothing else!! “This is so wrong,” I said, moving my mouth even closer. I could smell her, and she smelled like heaven, like soap and skin and the delicate female scent that every man hungered for. “But just one taste,” I murmured, talking more to myself than to her now. “God wouldn't punish me for just one taste.” This book is sinfully delicious. Father Bell & Poppy know that they are treading on very dangerous grounds. They know that they shouldn't be even thinking the things they are let alone act on them. Their feelings have catapulted far beyond rational thinking. Once they go forward there will be no turning back. Will the risk be too great? "I was sorry that I hadn't controlled my desire long enough to step into a cold shower or go for a run or any of the other tricks I'd learned over the past three years to stifle my urges. Mostly... Mostly, I'm sorry that I'm not sorry. Dammit, I wasn't sorry at all." This book will keep you wanting more. you will probably wish that you could read it for the first time again. I know I sure do!! This book surpassed all of my expectations!!!
