Alex's Mini Review: 

The way this book talks about religion, trauma, sex, and sexuality is beautiful.

Did I root for Tyler and Poppy as a couple not so much, but still enjoyed this book overall. For a more in-depth review and book breakdown just out podcast episode for Priest.

Ashtin's Mini Review: 

Priest follows Tyler, a small town priest, and Poppy, a new resident and fellow church go-er. Sierra does a great job at navigating this taboo topic, and the spice is SPICY!!! I didn't love Tyler as a lead and wasn't necessarily rooting for Tyler and Poppy as a couple, but overall the plot and book was well written! This book is a single POV in Tyler's perspective which was interesting since most romance books are either dual POV or primarily in the females POV. I think this was the reason I wasn't a huge Tyler fan & I do wish we got more from Poppy's POV. I do like the new cover art for this series as well.
