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.)… (more)

So emotional! So many tears. ( )

I have to admit that this book took my M/M virginity. At first, I thought I wouldn't like it, cause I am not a man and I am not part of LGBTQ community, but I still enjoyed it very much.

I loved both Aiden and Elijah, and even tho I wanted to kick their assess quite a few times, I still fell in love with them.

I have to admit that their sex scenes weren't as hot as the ones from the previous two books (but maybe that's on me). I felt anxiety every time they were having sex, cause I always expected someone to catch them, while they are doing it thankfully, that didn't happen.

But the thing I liked the most was the finesse, with which Sierra Simone combined sex scenes with real questions, who make you think about life. The topic about suicide, and the LGBTQ community in the church was really interesting.

I can't wait to devour her next book. ( )

Epigraph
Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm;

For Love is strong as Death,
longing as fierce as Sheol.

Its arrows are arrows of fire,
flames of the divine.

Deep waters cannot quench love,
nor rivers sweep it away.

Song of Songs, 8:6-7
Dedication
For Erica Russikoff.
First words
Prologue

The air is crushed sage and lavender, and a naked monk is singing in front of me.
