Synopsis

There are many rules a priest can’t break. 
A priest cannot marry. A priest cannot abandon his flock. A priest cannot forsake his God.

I’ve always been good at following rules. 
Until she came. 
My name is Tyler Anselm Bell. I’m twenty-nine years old. Six months ago, I broke my vow of celibacy on the altar of my own church, and God help me, I would do it again. 
I am a priest and this is my confession.

Review

 I am not going to lie, I took this book on a whim because I thought it would be silly to read a priest book.  It seemed taboo and kind of ridiculous and I was in the mood for both.  Five percent in I messaged my co-blogger and told her this book was amazing.  When I finished, I called her and told her it was going to be one my absolute top favorites of 2015.  Sierra Simone, you shocked me in the best possible way.  Yes, this book was ridiculously taboo and yes, it was insanely sexy.  But the story.  The writing.  Those two things were phenomenal and took this erotic book to a whole new level of wonderful.

One woman, no matter how hot, was not going to unravel everything I held sacred about the priesthood. She was not going to destroy everything I’d worked so hard to create.

I know, I know.  You are probably thinking what I was.  That this priest has to be douchey and smarmy.  But the truth is that Father Bell blew me away.  He was a real man.  A good priest.  A loving son.  An even more loving brother.  He is plagued with insurmountable guilt right away for wanting Poppie.

Don’t jump her bones.  Don’t fantasize about fucking her tits.  Be a good priest.

Poor Father Bell.  He wants her as much as he wants to help her;  these two parts of him warring the entirety of the novel.  That was the best part.  Not knowing who Father Bell would chose.  God or Poppie.

A baptism by kiss rather than a baptism by water.

The sex in this book was some of the very best I have ever read.  It was sensual and spiritual and so dirty that I could barely wrap my mind around it all.

“How does it feel?”

“It feels like heaven.”

I often felt the heat crawl up face while reading these scenes.  Father Bell would go from a sweet and caring man of the cloth to alpha Tyler in two seconds flat.  He had one of filthiest mouths I have ever read and I loved every second of it.  He was the perfect blend of good and bad and he stole my heart right away.

I wanted to make her crawl, make her beg, I wanted to scrape the skin of her inner thighs raw with my stubble.

The whole of this book is told from Father Bell’s point of view and that was my very favorite thing about this book.  Sierra did a fabulous job writing him.  I sympathized with him.  I loved him.  I understood his need to be faithful to God and his need for Poppie.  He is a character that will forever stay with me and that is because he was written so darn beautifully.  Speaking of writing, I LOVED THE WAY THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN.  Sierra’s style is very classic and flowery and lovely.  Where did you come from with your beautiful writing, lady?!  I highlighted half the book because it was all so incredibly emotion provoking and lyrical.  I loved this book and I venture to say that it will remain in my top 10 of 2015.  It is going to be a hard act to follow as far as erotica goes.  It is one that I will read again and again and again.

The closeness of her and the closeness of the divine all at the same time was euphoria, bliss, and I was almost dizzy with it, feeling both at once, intoxicated by her and intoxicated by my God.

Synopsis

London Daniels is returning home to Willow Bay, Alberta, on the heels of a televised loss. She blew her shot at the Summer Olympics and cost Canada the gold medal in dressage.

During her years of training abroad, her family’s stable has fallen on hard times, and thus, they’ve accepted an offer to board the racehorses of Branson Tucker, the infamous tycoon, for the winter.

London lacks conviction after her ill-fated fall. And as if returning to her hometown to watch her epic failure replay on everyone’s big screen isn’t torture enough, she’s expected to cater to a man with an ego bigger than her hundred-acre farm just to earn a dime.

Is London saddling up for another ride that will leave both her heart and her ass in the dirt? Or could the handsome, unwanted guest at Willow Bay Stables be her second chance to go for gold?

Review

“This man, whoever he is, is beautiful. My heart is wildly lunging to have him next to me, but my body is too weak from his presence to take me there.”

Sexy, witty and fun Change Rein is a fast read that you won’t be able to put down. Anne Jolin is a talented writer who grabs your attention from the start and has you so engrossed in her stories that you don’t even realize that you have ignored the real world for hours while you fell in live with her characters.

“He’s stolen every though from my mind, all of which now belonging to the cowboy heart throb coming my way.”

When London’s Olympic career ends with a crash and a bad interview leaves her all over the gossip pages, she returns home to help run her family stables. Branson had become obsessed with the girl sh saw on TV and in the pages of magazines and even before meeting her feels an intense connection (don’t judge just go with it) but he needs to meet her in person. When a fire at his stables gives him the perfect opportunity to be near her by boarding his horses on her family farm he finds that the connection he feels is not just in his head but intense and real and definitely felt by London from their first meeting.

“If anyone could hear the way I am thinking about her, they’d send me to the nuthouse. I am pretty sure I’m in love with this woman, even though I am only meeting her for the first time. Even I’m not ignorant to how absolutely crazy that sounds.”

I know not everyone is a fan of insta-love I personally am not bothered by it and actually enjoy the manner in which Branson even jokes how ridiculous it all was but still acknowledges the fact that he cannot change that this is how he feels. Branson is all kinds of crazy billionaire and boy did I love it for him. One part stalker, one part sex god and one part loving caring man he is both someone I was weary of and rooting for all at the same time. He kept me interested and eager to see where it was all going and I found myself pleasantly surprised at how everything played out in the end.

“I’m not here to mess around. I’m here to make her mine. Even if I come across like a jackass while doing it.”

The only thing I could say about this book is that I wish it was longer. I loved the characters and story so much I wish I had more time to connect with them and for them to connect with each other. Not at all something that should deter you from buying this book but still something worth mentioning.

“He’s every woman’s dream, but he’s my reality.”

Change Rein is an intense and exciting start to a series I am incredibly excited about. Supremely sexy and a quick read this is one book you don’t want to miss.

Synopsis

There’s never been any question in Sean Tucker’s mind that he’d do whatever it took to make it to the major leagues and be one of the best pitchers of his time. The day he acknowledged to himself that he was gay was also the day he vowed to stay in the closet in order to chase his dreams. The problem is, he never counted on Mason Atley.

Sean showed rookie short stop Mason Atley the ropes, both on the field and off. The two forged a friendship which continued as both of them moved through the ranks of the farm system and into the majors. Unfortunately, there’s always been one secret Mason never felt he could share with Sean. Until now.

For seven years, Sean lived with the fact that he loved a man who would never reciprocate. When Mason admits that he’s always known he’s bisexual but has never allowed himself to pursue a relationship with a man, will Sean be able to put aside his reservations about starting a relationship with the friend he’d always assumed was straight? And more importantly, will they be able to find a way to stay together when their careers keep them apart more than they can be together?
