Priest: A Love Story

USA Today Best Seller!

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 29 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.

Priest is a full-length stand-alone with an HEA. For mature audiences only.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Hot. As. Sin." (Lauren Blakely, New York Times best-selling author of Sweet Sinful Nights)

Yup, Got What I Wanted

This is all TikTok's fault.

After reading a very frustrating book, I needed one that just cut to the chase and delivered.

Yeah. Priest delivered. It's everything you thought it would be after reading the summary and more. I'm not religious but even I needed to take a second to let my blushes cool off.

Also, Jacob Morgan killed it in the best way possible.

I'm just going to...going to sit now.

Well written erotica

Ok, parts of this book are pretty outrageous. I mean I'm atheist and even I thought some of it was bordering on blasphemy. But when you look deeper, you see that those scenes are meant allegorically; that the joys of sex and love are just as god-given as the joys of religious faith. Having said that however, If scenes of somewhat rough (consenual) sex on an altar, using blessed oils and garments during and after such encounters would be offensive to you, then you likely need to avoid this book. If you can get past that though, it's a pretty good story.

The writing is intelligent and often unexpected, the narration is beautiful and heartfelt, and the priest's struggle feels very real. The sex is, as described in the book, 'dirty' and the sexy talk is vulgar in nature. By vulgar I mean that breasts are called t!ts, a vagina is a c*nt, etc. This language is what the lovers get turned on by so sexual encounters in particular are filled with plenty of street terms for body parts and sexual positions. So this book is definitely erotica and not for the easily shocked.

The idea of a priest with an extensive sexual history is interesting, his reasons for becoming a priest are fascinating, and the woman's history is critical to the story, too. So there's an actual story here, and a good one. A well-told story, as well. However, while sometimes narrator change can work, here I felt it was not well-executed. The vast majority of the book is narrated by Jacob Morgan, so when Elena Wolfe takes a turn it's jarring. The author has changed POV so I know why they did it, but I didn't like that. And I really didn't like that the epilogue was told from the POV of Poppy, the h. It should have been told from Tyler's POV since this book was almost exclusively his story.

There is an HEA, and two final sex-in-the-church scenes. The last one is again pretty specific, but sweet imo. And it fits the characters and the history of their romance, which is important.

I liked this book a great deal, and it's an intelligent and unique approach to erotica. Recommended.

Should’ve Been a Duet!!

First let me say that Jacob Morgan does an AMAZING job leading this performance. It’s not his fault I’ve been ruined by the duet style that is done in Butcher & Blackbird, but I’m so terribly ruined.

This story was excellent…up until the last four or so chapters. Those final chapters were rushed. Almost as if Simone could see the finish line but took a shortcut instead of staying on course. If you’re wanting plenty of spice mixed with some taboo this book doesn’t slow burn. What it has is the rush of a diver walking to the end of a springboard, that dramatic pause in the air, and then it takes a swan dive right into it. I would say there isn’t any splash-back but…it’s only the good kind.

Wow 🔥 Not what you expect

I legitimately did not know what I was getting into when I picked up this book. I had heard from everybody that it was hot and addictive and seemingly blasphemous… But in the best way. By the third chapter I was fanning myself. Sierra Simone writes like no other author I’ve ever read. This was actually incredibly moving and not really as blasphemous as I would have believed upon looking at it. So don’t buy into the hype and definitely don’t judge this book by its cover… It was fantastic! And soooooooo sexy.

Holy Hotness!! 5++++

Wow! That had to have been the HOTTEST audio ever! Loved reading this book, so much emotion. but listening to it, brought it into a whole different dimension.

The holy grail of you are going to need new panties!

Wow, what can I say about this story. Definitely a little on the taboo side, but certainly ovary exploding. Super hot and sexy! Characters are well developed and Jacob Morgan is perfect as Father Bell and Elena Wolfe’s voice is Poppy spot on! This story may not be for everyone but damn it is super hot.

Holy Father Bell🙌

Damn this book was scorching 🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!! Absolutely loved this story and Jacob Morgan so delivered on that narration 👏👏❤❤ This is a must listen for sure!

Lives up to all the rave reviews.

I had this in my tbr for way too long because I was putting it off, but I knew this was going to be hot as hell 🤭 and oh so taboo. What I never expected, was to love Tyler's spiritual journey and how he questions, rationalizes, and rethinks events in his life.
I'm not a religious person, but I love philosophizing theology because of my rigorous Christian background.
Anywho, as scandalously hot as this story is, there are some deep and gutting parts. 😢

Like a prayer

The depravity is so good!

Jacob Morgan is my new favorite narrator, I love his voice. Captured the emotion and executed the scenes to a T! 👌🏼

If you are sensitive to triggers, please don’t read!
To all the other people like me, you will be right at home!

amazing!!!

absolutely loved this book! the story was so good, so raw, seriously just amazing! highly recommend!
