Welcome to my 
 CR Purgatory shelf 
 ! 
 (Blah blah this is where books get judged blah blah.) 
 *** 
 Reason(s) for putting Priest in this shelf: 
 Having a book entitled Priest in my Purgatory shelf? Talk about ironic. 
 So... Priest erotica? That's a thing now? I guess when you really think about it, nothing could be more forbidden and sinful than seducing a man in a frock. (Note: I am not judging readers who like this. I may swear a lot in my normal reviews, but I am a decent human being who knows how to respect diversity.) 
 Okay, I am by no means a religious person. At best, I can identify myself as a deist; I believe there is a God, but I don't believe in religion. Faith and religion are two different things for me. Despite my personal spiritual beliefs, I respect what different institutions of faith stand for. That's why I find this particular genre uncomfortable. 
 And what's more disconcerting? Check out the blurb: 
 My name is Tyler Anselm Bell. I'm twenty-nine 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. 
 Did I get that right? Did that mean that he had sex on the altar of his own church? You see, that's what stopped me from picking this up. Sure, I was iffy about the whole premise, but I was willing to give it a shot... Until I read that part of the blurb. I'm sorry, but I don't find that entertaining at all; that simply comes off as disrespectful to me. I don't care if you break your vows, but at least have the decency to do it outside holy grounds (holy for Catholics/Christians, I mean). 
 Another WTF factor is the heroine. I won't go into details because another reviewer did a great job of fleshing her out in detail (link to her review is posted at the bottom), but I will tell you this: the heroine is fucked up. Big time.
