Priest (Priest, 1)
From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Sierra Simone comes her steamy, TikTok-famous Priest series, in which sinners and saints alike test the bonds of religion, love, and lust. He's a priest, and here is his confession. 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. Tyler Bell has had no problem playing by the rules for the last three years after a family tragedy set him on the path to priesthood. That all changes when the delicious, sultry voice of Poppy Danforth sinks its claws in him through the screen of his confessional booth, and he can't get her sins out of his head. It should be easy to put his impure thoughts of her to rest, considering the vows Tyler has taken. It should be nothing to overcome what the sight and sound of her does to him, when his life with the Church means everything. But once he has his first forbidden taste of those red lips, Tyler can't help but break all his rules for Poppy―no matter what it might cost them both.

Why You'll Love This
After the sü!cide of his younger sister, Tyler joins the priesthood to serve God and help keep s3xual predators out of the church. The celibacy has never bothered Tyler, that is, until she walked in to confession. As sparks fly and Tyler begins to fall in love, he finds that he has to choose between his vow to the church and the woman of his dreams. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ 4/5 Tropes: Forbidden Love Dual POV Triggers: Sū!cide Religious Fervor Mentions of S3xual Abuse My Thoughts: I’ll be honest, I read this book because I wanted to know why it was all over booktok, and at the time, I was craving a dark romance that was taboo. And trust me, it is taboo. But that’s not all this book is. It is not a slam on religion nor is it going against the church. Instead, it takes the reader on a journey through spirituality where a man learns that he can serve God and also be in love and have s3x with a woman. It doesn’t shove religion down the readers throat and is a refreshing take on the absurd idea of celibacy. I highly recommend this book.
Well written no apparent editing errors, good plot, good tension, interesting characters, fast paced, and holy world the best spice!!! This is the example I wish all my books were written by! I’m not into the plot of Saint, but I will definitely be ordering Sinner next! I hope this author starts cranking out more pure gold if only for my own selfish enjoyment.
Ok so for a dark romance with 0 murder I have to give it a 5 stars I love Tyler and poppy. It was so deep loll I couldn't put it down
Es muy sexy y adictivo, me gustó mucho que a pesar de que es más pensamiento que diálogo me gusta como piensa el padre, (if you know what I mean) la parte de los memes épica.
I was blushing and giggeling
Oh! I loved this book! Very spicy!
I simply adore this book, I've read it 2 times in less than 6 months. First book of 4 in the series (don't miss Midnight Mass that is the sequel of this one as well as Sinner and Saint). The story line is great, Tyler and Poppy are captivating, their love story is sinful yet tender. I totally recommend this book!
