Priest: A Love Story (1)

Product Information

I’ve been thinking a lot about Fleabag and Hot Priest’s romance lately as I have re-watched Fleabag Season Two four times alone this year. The more I think about their love story, the more I think of this line from Greta Gerwig’s 2017 coming of age film, Lady Bird: Second of all...Jacob Morgan!! What an excellent narrator!! I don't think I've listened to a book by him before, but I am definitely a fan now!! He really brought Father Bell to life...I could feel his anguish, his love, his heat and I even loved the small bits of humor throughout that Jacob definitely highlighted with his narration. Elena was wonderful as well, but very small parts in the book.

Thanks for meeting with me,” she said, crossing her legs as she set down her purse. Which was not a purse but a sleek laptop bag, filled with strata of brightly colored folders. “I’ve been thinking a lot about seeking something like this out, but I’ve never been religious before, and part of me still kind of balks at the idea…” I understand his reason and why he became a priest. But it didn't make all that much sense to me. Especially what had happened to his sister before her death. One bad apple doesn't destroy the crop? Right?🤔 So he wa proving a point to everyone? She, an alleged atheist, turns up at his church, again and again, to attend mass, to volunteer, to pray, to chat, to kiss. He, a persistent observer, is the only person in the world who notices the way she retreats from reality and takes comfort in talking to the audience. They see each other, they pay attention to each other, and they love each other, deeply. Maryse: I found this one! Grapes & Wrath: a forbidden romance (Forbidden Fruit) by Eve Cates <—FORBIDDEN ROMANCE ‘CAUSE HE’S A PRIEST! “… The moment I saw Emma seated in the pew, her eyes downcast and her hands clasped in silent prayer, I knew I had to have her. At first, I convinced myself that my interest was God sending me to help her escape the monster who resided in her own home. But that was a lie. I wanted her for my own. And I would break every commandment, every vow, and even the law, the make that happen...” Robyn: …Father Marcus Stearns aka Soren, will be confessing his luscious sins to all of us! ((((Shivers))))

Julie O: The author did this really good….where else can you read about 2 taboo subjects and in the end feel all good about it? Amazing! Maryse: I found this one! Sinister Vows: A Mafia Arranged Marriage by A.M. McCoy <— SHE WAS OFFERED UP TO THE PRIEST BEFORE THE NIGHT BEFORE HER ARRANGED MARRIAGE… and HOLY MOLY! Dartmouth. Marseille. Boarding school. I had sensed that Poppy was polished, had guessed from her mention of Newport that she had known privilege and wealth at some point in her life, but I could see now exactly how much privilege, how much wealth. I studied her face. There was a thriving confidence there, an old-fashioned bent toward etiquette and politeness, but there was also no pretentiousness, no elitism. Confesso que demorei um pouco a acreditar no amor deles. Claro que tinha carinho, mas demorou muito, pra mim, pra cair a ficha de que aquilo ali podia ser amor verdadeiro. Ficou parecendo, por diversas vezes, que era só desejo e carinho. Acreditei, mas demorou.

While there are tons of books in the world about priests that are all taboo and good-to-be-bad, this one is about the spiritual journey as well as the physical. Sierra has weaved a beautiful tale of right, wrong, and a whole lot of grey area. God told us to love, so why is it so wrong for a priest to love? She sighed. “I never spoke to them directly after I left. I still haven’t. It’s been three years, and I know they’d be furious…”
