Priest by Sierra Simone
I have very mixed feelings about this book. Yes, I knew what I was getting into when I started it, I have read this author before. But, the New Camelot series had some plot to it, this didn't. Also, when I was trying to find out which brother was the focus of the second book I discovered that Tyler and Poppy get a novella and the description makes it seem like they aren't happy; like their marriage is stagnant. This made the book and its ending feel unworthy, like she was only with him because she liked the thrill of doing something (or someone) she shouldn't; she didn't like him she liked his job and the sneaking around of it all. I am not Catholic, but I felt dirty (not in a good way) with all of the sex happening in the church. When it was his church it at least made sense for the story, but when it was some random church that was not it. And the defiling of the holy objects. Again, not Catholic, but that was a bit much. I can see how some people would be titillated by the taboo of it, but it's not for me. Book two has a huge age gap which is one of my least favorite tropes, so knowing that I will not be continuing with this series.
