I did find Zenny’s backstory interesting, as I haven’t encountered many books with a postulate as a main character and Simone writes from a place of research and knowledge. I did find some of the larger plot a little lacking and not as tightly put together and I did find myself looking for more to the story, however. Simone writes the hottest of sex scenes as she puts older, experienced Sean with younger, virginal Zenny, and this is definitely the book that will bring all the heat.
Also, while Zenny is not breaking any vows and is even given a month to experience life, you have to be willing to go where the story does. You have to go with the basics of the set up, as even though Sean is best friends with Zenny’s brother, Elijah, Zenny has never been mentioned at all between them in many years. However, when Zenny has to figure out her life, we don’t see that at all. The book is told entirely from his point of view and that works well for his side of things. The storyline of this book falls heavily on the erotic side and Sean’s story is woven in throughout. While some of the other Bell brothers went on to incorporate faith into their lives in an attempt to mend something that was broken, Sean is angry and has no room in his life for any of it. He can’t forgive God for the awful things that happened to his sister at the hands of a predatory priest and he can’t forgive himself for not protecting her. The series revolves around the Bell brothers and the story lines intersect faith and sex, with two featuring M/F relationships and one M/M. I read the Priest series a little backwards as I started with book 3, Saint, went back to the first book, Priest, and now am finishing off with book 2, Sinner.
The heat is on and Sean is losing his heart and his head to a woman he knows can never be his. Zenny’s progressive superiors want her to experience the world a little before taking the next step in her journey and she decides that Sean will be the man to show her everything she didn’t even know she was missing. She’s not only all grown up, but she’s a postulate on the path to becoming a nun. It’s not until much later he learns that the woman is Zenobia, “Zenny,” Iverson. Sean doesn’t even recognize the woman he meets at a social event and wants all kinds of dirty things with her. However, they don’t talk about their families, which is why Sean had no idea that Elijah’s younger sister is back in town. After a terrible rift following Sean’s sister’s suicide, the families no longer speak, but Sean and Elijah have remained close friends.
Sean’s best friend is Elijah Iverson and their two families used to be close. He’s close with his family and while his mother’s cancer has hit the family hard, Sean is there for her every step of the way. He’s not interested in settling down or finding the one. He brokers successful deals, he’s wealthy, and he has all the sex he wants. Sean Bell is living his best life on his own terms.
