The Sinner's Penance

Pursuit of Love

By: K.C. Carmine

Narrated by: Freddie Wills

Even disguised as a priest, Mat can’t resist a man kneeling at his feet, begging to be punished.

Being a bodyguard for London’s Polish Mafia had its benefits. Fast money, fast cars, and an endless stream of hot men fuelled Mateusz’s insatiable lust for life. But when he takes out the son of a rival Mafia boss, he is forced to flee to a remote island in the West of England.

Posing as a priest, Mateusz hopes he found the perfect disguise. Until a handsome stranger shows up to confession, begging for punishment. Can Mateusz rein in his ferocious carnal desires? Or will his cover be blown to smithereens?

As a newcomer to the island, Peyton’s social life is limited to a dram at the local pub. Everything changes when he attends a mass on a Sunday and his gaze lands on the man he can’t have. The one in a cassock.

A standalone MM book 4 from Pursuit of Love series. Please refer to the TW/CW inside the book or on the author's website.

Wow

This was much more intense than previous books in the series. I would say it’s not high angst. I really enjoyed both Mat and Peyton. I especially enjoyed part one, I really felt like I was on the island with them. I wanted to meet all of the characters!

Things get a bit more real in part two, and there is one scene that is particularly outrageous and amazing. I will definitely caution you that if you get upset about religious artifacts and institutions being inappropriately used, I would not read this book. If you’re OK with that, enjoy! Narration was done extremely well once again.

For give me father 🔥

It is very well written and the audio books is just as good. The store is a MM DS relationship with twists, turns and mafia family. Over all it was enjoyable and kept my attention all the way through. I finished it in one day.
🌶spice was 4 out of 5 (hot use of every day items)

Bless Me Father

Bless Me Father for I have sinned many times while listening to Freddie bring book 4 of the fabulous Pursuit of Love series to life. I honestly could listen to Freddie 24/7 and not get bored. He did such an outstanding job!

“If what Mat had done with Peyton made him a sinner, it would be the sin he was proudest of, and he would go to his grave without an ounce of regret in his heart. Except he knew, sacrilege or not, there was nothing wrong with what they were doing. Being with, and touching Peyton felt like the most natural, divine act.”

Absolutely Perfect! BRAVO!

Sensitivity : Profanity and Spice levels are both HIGH on this one and I recommend looking at the CW/TW.

"Sin with me forever."

I love Mat and Peyton's story. It's filthy and sinful. Decadent and romantic As a former Catholic, I gasped, then giggled at their Easter "celebration". Freddy Wells and his range of accents was impeccable. I loved this book and this performance.

The Accent!!

Performance: Freddie Wills is amazing! I love how he performs each character. I get lost in his voice and it is hearing the story for the first time. I think I took my time, because I didn’t want to finish the book.

Story: To say I enjoyed this story is so lacking in emphasis. This story is sexy. It is riveting. I’m still new enough to reading about BDSM to know I don’t know everything and I found parts of the story curious. I wasn’t turned off by the priest kink, because why yuck someone else’s yum? I let myself sink into story and just be a part of it. It was exciting and mesmerizing and honestly I read it in slow bites to extend its life. I have loved each of the Pursuit of Love books and loved this one as well. How could I not? There was so much to it, the danger, the love, and the potential future. It leaves me hoping we’ll see Mat and Peyton again one day.
