Priest by Sierra Simone

Did not finish book. Stopped at 29%.

While this is primarily a romance novel with decent helping of smut scenes, it also discusses Christianity (from the view of a Catholic Priest) and that is not I'm wanting to delve into right now.

I may revisit this later or I may not. I'm not really attached to any of the characters either. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Leo & Jace repeatedly tell each other that Riley is new to kink and may not follow all of the rules to a "T", yet they are the two biggest rule breakers! From the beginning they just go into scenes with no discussion, no safeword, nothing.

Also, Riley is an idiot for forgiving Jace & Leo after they lied to her.

A woman willing dates her stalker and then gets upset when he does unhinged shit. What the hell did you expect?!

Jacob Morgan narrating as Josh is what made this book for me. His delivery is hilarious and made Josh my favorite of the two main characters; especially when it came to his reactions with Fred.

Ally's connections to her estranged mafia family was wasted potential and was just used to clear Josh of murder. I wish Ally was just as unhinged as Josh (imagine if she was a mafia heiress), because without him, Ally is pretty boring.
