Five Stars!
Aiden Bell has changed his entire life to be a better person, but in the process had to leave the love of his life. What happens when his love comes back? Will he give everything up that he's worked so hard for? Or will he let him go again?
Where do I even begin with this review for Saint? First of all, it is beautifully written, it has so much detail, but not boring detail. It is the kind of detail that sucks you in and has you imagining and experiencing the things our characters are. I have to admit that there were a lot of things or words regarding Christianity or Monk living that I had to look up, so not only did I love this book it was a learning experience for me too.
I felt like this book was very deep, it tugs at your heartstrings and touches on current-day topics like white “male” privilege, racism, mental illness, and homophobia. It also gave me a better understanding of bisexuality. It’s funny in parts and deliciously dirty, but you definitely don’t feel like you’re just reading smut. This is the first M/M book I've read and Sierra did it so much justice. I look forward to getting caught up in her next book!
This was a very spiritual read to me and I felt good reading it. I can’t wait for you all to read it too!

Blurb:
I can’t have Elijah Iverson.
I can’t have him because he’s my older brother’s best friend. I can’t have him because I broke his heart five years ago; because he’s now engaged to someone else—someone kind and dependable who deserves his whiskey eyes, his soft mouth, his fierce intellect.
I can’t have Elijah because I’ve chosen God instead.
The Bell brothers, though . . . well, we don't exactly have the greatest track record with vows. But I’m determined to do this monk thing right—to pledge myself to a cloistered life and spend the rest of my years in chastity and prayer. But now Elijah’s here. He’s here and he’s coming with me on my European monastery road trip, and between the whispered confessions and the stolen kisses and the moments bent over an ancient altar, my vows are feeling flimsier by the day.
And vows or not, I know in my heart that it would take more than a good and holy monk to resist Elijah Iverson right now. It would take a saint.
And we all know that I’m no saint.
(This is the third full-length standalone in the Priest Collection, featuring Father Bell's brother, Aiden Bell. You do not have to read Priest or Sinner to read Saint.)
