A wickedly seductive taboo romance. I unexpectedly enjoy the story even when I shouldn't. It's thought-provoking and it will put you out of your comfort zone. In reality, the protagonists' affair unacceptable and unethical in our society. It must not be condoned. Not everyone will love this kind of story and open mindedness is required. 
 Father Tyler Anselm Bell is a devoted servant of God. For three years, he's respected by many people. He's obedient throughout but when Poppy Danforth ,stepped inside the confession booth, he was mesmerized by her beauty. The attraction between them ignites and no matter how hard he tries to resist his feelings, it's too palpable and strong. He's tempted falling to his desires and obeying his vow. Lines are blurring as the saint slowly becomes a sinner. 
 I've listened to the audio book which was narrated by Jacob Morgan (I'm still shook by the fact he's also Zachary Webber, who's one of my favorite voice actors) and Elena Wolfe. Majority of the chapters were told in Father Bell's point of view. While Poppy's POV are only her confessions and its epilogue. Jacob Morgan's narration was FANTASTIC. His voice is SEXY AF and I'm serious about it. 
 The sex scenes are undeniably HOT, FIERY AND INTENSE.Damn, the steamy level is 10/10. They're wild and kinky as shit. Don't get me even started where they did it. As I was listening to it I don't know if I should laugh or scream or maybe both? My jaw dropped at some point. Goodness, these sex fiends need to bathe in holy water. Hahaha! 
 I love Sierra Simone's writing style especially in male perspective. I'm so invested with Father Bell's backstory than Poppy's. Hers was too shallow and I wish its depth matches with Tyler's The plot was great and I like the direction of the story. I should be furious on Tyler and Poppy for disrespecting God by having a forbidden affair but I didn't. I believe God brought them by fate. I don't tolerate their sinful actions but loving each other was the most honest thing they did. Tyler's decision in the end was exactly I want it to be. He can't have it both ways and one must be given up. Tyler learned to forgive, let go and find his purpose. He was a good man who deserves happiness and freedom. 
 The epilogue was good but given with their controversial affair, I think it's resolved too easily particularly on Poppy's side. For that, I'm giving it 4/5 stars and I'm definitely checking out Sierra Simone's other novels.
