"They say I need help. Another exorcism. This is not new. This is my life. Today, I expect to suffer at the hands of a man as warped by superstition and fear as my mother. A man who will torture me in order to save me from things that don't exist. But the man who actually comes to me is different. Killian is good and decent, and he sees what's good and decent in me. And I don't mean for it to happen, but every time he looks at me, his gaze sets me on fire. He brings me to the light, gives me back my life. For the first time, I see a future for myself. A future with him. I burn for Killian--a man who's intent on protecting me. On healing me. He doesn't get it. The only thing that can heal me is him. But Killian will soon be a priest. Untouchable. Forbidden. How can I ask a man to choose between me ... and God?"--Page 4 of cover.

I'm a sucker for forbidden love stories, and what could be more forbidden than the love of an (almost) priest? Charlotte has this way of writing 1st person POV that makes you feel like you're actually getting both POV's. I never feel as if I'm missing anything at all when I read her stories. She's a genius!
Holy. Moly. Just wanted to read one chapter of this book before bed last night and ended up completely unable to stop turning pages. This is one heck of a dark read, but it's also infused with so much hope and desire and lust and heat and angst and confusion and all-around goodness that make it so, so great and ultimately redemptive, enjoyable and, dare I say it – fun. Charlotte Stein just doesn't hold back, and as a reader I'm grateful.
(I got an ARC in exchange for an honest review.)
