She was probably my least favorite part of this book. Question for Holly from Ingrid: Can you EVEN with Poppy?!? How can you like someone who is so completely flaccid and 2-dimensional? She was a resume with a pair of red lips with nothing else going on. There was no content to her character at all, so she was this propped up vessel that he used for his own pleasure. I didn’t love that she was so…It wasn’t like she had any hobbies, it wasn’t like she had any interests. On an annoyance level, she’s exactly the type of person who would be taken advantage of by a person in a position of power. I: It’s not that I hate Poppy, it’s that I think she’s an underdeveloped human being. Question for Ingrid from Holly: Why hate Poppy? Sometimes things that come out of her mouth when she’s talking about sex made me be like, “this is what happens when you slut shame women!!!!” So she’s a somewhat problematic character.
Like Father Bell is her first experience with oral sex, which, given that she’s a sexually voracious woman who is in her late 20s, is crazy to me. Even though she’s into kink, she doesn’t seem to know the basics of how it works. The way I’d describe her otherwise: she’s very smart in some ways, but is very sexually naive.
Then decided that she didn’t want the WASP life, so she ran away to the Midwest and became a stripper, and now she has guilt, which is what brings her to the Church, I guess. H: Poppy comes from a wealthy WASPy New England background. Holly, please describe Poppy, our heroine: I: I may not be into BDSM, but that was the least of my issues with this book. H: Just because BDSM makes you uncomfortable doesn’t mean it’s a bad book. And indeed, there was a lot of sex and I was not disappointed. But I found this book on a list of best romances in the last 10 years and read a couple reviews of her stuff, so I knew there was a lot of sex. I’d never read anything by this author before. This type of book hits pretty much all of my least favorite kinks, but I did try to go in with an open mind. I: I’m not gonna lie to you, they weren’t super high. What were your expectations going into this book? Holly: (Laughing) Okay, so, basically a priest has illicit sex and some angst, but discovers that sex can bring him closer to God. They both have some serious BDSM kink going on. So: Priest who appears to have issues with compartmentalization to the extreme meets girl who is not like other girls.
Overall: I had so much fun reading this book Plot: Catholic priest has sex, angst ensues Heat Factor: Absolutely filthy, in the best wayĬharacter Chemistry: Father Bell would have chemistry with a cardboard box
