So I love heat in a book. I love RH. I love kinky scenes with multiple partners and weird stuff I’ve never thought was possible. I also love James’s books. However, I also like a semblance of a story and some character development. Oh and I like my books served with a large helping of BA MCs. This book, in my opinion, failed across the board and here is why:1. The MC killed the book before I even made it to the third chapter. She is portrayed as an emaciated drug addict. Okay cool that in and of it’s self isn’t bad; she can grow and develop but nope never happens. I’m not sure how many times she states that she is an addict and that she has a problem but I would wager that makes up half of this book. Her character doesn’t seem to grow at all. The only way in which she changes seems to be her will to live.2. I like a good smutty scene but when the guys are basically taking advantage of a self proclaimed emaciated drug addict it boarders on assault/rape to me. Is this woman in a state of mind where she can consent? If she is then why did she freak out and run away after her table scene with Arsen? That entire scene was less hot, more cringe. So most of the smutty bits make me cringe instead of heating me up. Why don’t these grown men acknowledge that she needs help and not the kind she could get from a BOB. I mean she did seek out the church for help to start with.3. The guys. Ugh what guy looks at a woman who is in clear distress and thinks, “mmmmm that’s a fine woman right there”. Yeah you guessed it ones who make you question their respect of women. Now clearly these are not “good” guys okay fine but jeeze. What about her is appealing other than the fact she is available to them while they are pretending to be priests? The guys also never develop past this. They are working a job, they want to F, they don’t mind sharing, they don’t care about her and they never talk about themselves in any real capacity other than their sexual proclivities. I think I know more about Portia and Kisten and than the guys and they are background characters.4. Slow, so slow. The description said it was fast paced and it wasn’t. Maybe it was fast paced to the smutty scenes but I’m still waiting for the story to kick in and I’m done reading it. I skipped ahead around the 62% mark because I couldn’t handle her crying about life and them taking advantage of her desperation anymore. I was trying to find the other shoe but it never dropped. It’s only 150-160 pages but it felt so much longer.5. The sacrilegious stuff didn’t bother me but I know it will bother many. It honestly bothered me more that I continued to feel she was not in a mindset to grant consent.Anyway I will continue my love affair with James because not all books can be as great as the ones before and I will probably give the other author a try because lots of people say they are good but this one just didn’t do it for me.*I gave it a 2.5 star review because even though it wasn’t for me it might be for you and authors put so much of themselves into their books that I can’t just not give them some credit for putting pen to paper and giving me something to complain about.

AND I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT.This book is highly flammable, (in more ways than one). It has the potential to offend easily if you don't have a sense of humor about churches and things *cough* happening in them. No specific church is identified in here, but you ahhh, get the gist of it.You want something to set your panties on fire? You want to gasp as you turn the pages? You want to read faster and faster and see how hotter this book can get?Then this is the book for you.If you want to get to know more about five mercenaries, then this is the book for you.This was a page turner for me, but it may not be for everyone. <3

So, this series starts out on 10! A mafia princess runs into a church wet, half naked, covered in blood, looking to become a nun! Instead she runs into 5 mercenaries posing as priest looking to kill the father she's running from! There's no respect for religion here! There's a lot of dirty business though! One thing that's annoying is they talked a lot about her not eating much and needing to gain weight! Then, all sudden they're talking about how curvy and plump she is! Hmmm.....

General summary: Mafia princess meets and gets involved with 5 mercenaries.Generally I liked this book. The plot was interesting and the characters likeable. CM Stunich and Tate James are some of my favorite authors. Mostly, the religious stuff didn’t bother me, MOSTLY, but the altar and nun parts were squicky and a bit too much.

Reading this book the first thing I thought was how I didnt connect to Natalia. Her personality kind of got to me but then I decided to put myself in her shoes. And realized that through the book she wanted to change that she knew the way she was wasnt normal. She still has a conscious and the character development towards that has me wanting to read more to see where her journey goes. I'm also very interested in the men'd stories. This is going to be a fun series to follow

No amount of going to the confessional would help Natalie when she stumbles into a church on the run and meets five hot priests - Hawke, Arsen, Colt, Weston & Mace. Yes you heard me right, Priests! Except they dont particularly act like regular priests least not around her. Good god this book is hot. All i can say is..........wow!. Five guys each smoking hot and each great characters in their own way. Natalie is also feisty, strong MFC. I cant praise this book up enough. If you love Reverse Harem books then you definitely need to read this book. I absolutely loved it & im eager to get my hands on the next book

good intro, but didnt really follow in the same vain. didnt have much depth.. just romance. no progression in the storyline. ends in cliffhanger. not really tempted to buy the next one. a slight shame as I really like CM Stunich books. but overall it was okay.

This is almost a carbon copy of Den of Vipers!!!!Therefore very predictable & not as shocking as it could have been.

Loved this very dark read, it's incredibly well written with a lot of taboo subject matter. Not for the faint hearted, this book is a wild ride of dirty priests Vs the mob, with a stubborn party-girl caught between them.

I couldn’t put this book down, a very different storyline that I’ve never experienced before. For all the dark parts there is this underlying beauty through teamwork and friendship, cliffhanger endings are the worst though! Can’t wait to read the next one❤️
