Father Tyler Bell has devoted his life to God. For years, faith, discipline, and duty have defined every breath he takes—until one woman shatters the careful balance he’s built around his vows.
When Poppy Danforth walks into his confessional, her voice awakens a desire Tyler has spent his entire life denying. What begins as a moment of temptation quickly becomes an all-consuming struggle between sacred devotion and forbidden longing. Bound by his vows and haunted by his desires, Tyler finds himself questioning not only his faith, but the life he chose to serve it.
As their connection deepens, Tyler must confront the cost of desire, the weight of guilt, and the terrifying possibility that love—real love—may demand everything he has sworn to give up. Priest is a provocative exploration of faith, sin, devotion, and the line between holiness and desire, where every choice carries eternal consequences.

My Take
The writing in this book combined with the narration of Jacob Morgan makes this one steamy book! The spicy scenes in the MMCs point of view are a perspective that gets the blood boiling. Aside from that the thoughts about his religion warring with the sexual desire. These pros are well written and thought provoking. The ride was so good, I read it twice last year.. And maybe revisited Father Bell more than I would like to admit.
I have heard rumors about Priest becoming a movie, but as of right now that is just a rumor and everything I have seen it is not going to happen.
