A Dark Romance with a Dominant Priest? Yes, Please!


This book had me at priest kink—and it did not disappoint. From the first page, it was pure insta-lust between Tyler and Poppy, but their connection grew into something surprisingly sweet. Despite all the guilt and sin wrapped into their relationship, there was a raw honesty between them that made it work.


I especially loved Tyler’s POV. Watching him wrestle with grief over his sister’s suicide while navigating forbidden desire gave his character real depth. His internal struggle between faith, loss, and love was one of the strongest parts of the book.


That said, I felt a little underwhelmed by the ending. Poppy’s quick apology and Tyler’s immediate forgiveness felt a bit too easy. Honestly, I expected a bit more groveling from her. But then again, Tyler is a priest—maybe he’s just more forgiving than I am.
