As he falls further, he admits to himself he’s made an idol of Poppy. His secret relationship results in lies to his friends and parishioners. He displays moments of jealousy regarding Poppy’s life before him. Instead of offering herself to him freely, she prefers Tyler to ‘steal’ her kiss and her submission. In his struggle with Poppy, Tyler becomes so enamored he feels he would kill (another metaphor?) if it means he could have her. The PRIEST, clearly broke a lot of commandments. The story, which may be considered as taboo, is very real and true to the hero’s struggle. After meeting her, Father Bell takes us through a journey of curiosity, self-control, guilt, desire, regret, penitence, shame, love and acceptance. Immediately, her voice makes him feel like a man. He meets Poppy Danforth when she walks into confessional. In his confession Father Bell states “I broke my vow of celibacy on the altar of my own church”That has to be a metaphor right? Ok, we will come back to that….maybe?! We are introduced to Father Bell’s POV and his confession in the beginning. It doesn’t hurt that the book comes with a warning! Oh yeah, sign me up for the fall down the rabbit’s hole. It takes “forbidden” “holy crap” and “O, God’ to another level. I knew from the blurb, PRIEST was going to be a good read. Wow, just WOW! OMG! If only they knew what I was reading on my Kindle. Warning: “There is sex, more sex and definitely some blasphemy” Priest by Sierra Simone Pulication Date: June 29, 2015
