Book Description

There are many rules a priest can't break: A priest cannot marry. A priest cannot abandon his flock. A priest cannot forsake his God.

I've always been good at following rules. Until she came. My name is Tyler Anselm Bell. I'm twenty-nine years old. Six months ago, I broke my vow of celibacy on the altar of my own church, and God help me, I would do it again. I am a priest and this is my confession.

My Thoughts

Sierra Simone’s The Priest, in its compelling audiobook format, delves into a world of forbidden desires, spiritual conflict, and the harrowing journey of a man torn between his sacred vows and an undeniable human connection. Narrated by the masterful voices of Jacob Morgan and Elena Wolfe, this story of Father Tyler Anselm Bell, a priest who shatters his celibacy on the very altar he serves, is both provocative and profoundly intimate.


The premise itself is a potent blend of sacrilege and intense romance, immediately gripping listeners with its audacity. Tyler's confession, as presented in the book's opening lines, sets a confessional tone that permeates the entire narrative. Simone navigates the complex emotional landscape of sin, faith, and redemption with a raw honesty that can be unsettling yet utterly captivating. The story explores the immense weight of breaking sacred promises, the struggle between duty and passion, and the human need for connection, even when it comes at an unimaginable cost. It’s a daring exploration of faith not just in God, but in oneself and in love, even when that love is deemed transgressive.

Jacob Morgan’s narration of Father Tyler is nothing short of brilliant. He perfectly captures the priest's internal turmoil, his deep-seated convictions, and the slow, agonizing surrender to temptation. His voice is rich with gravitas, making Tyler’s spiritual and carnal struggles palpable. Elena Wolfe complements him beautifully, providing a nuanced portrayal of Poppy, the woman who becomes Tyler’s catalyst for change. Together, their dual narration elevates the story, allowing listeners to experience the emotional intensity from both perspectives, truly immersing them in the illicit, passionate world Simone has created. The audiobook amplifies the story’s inherent drama, making The Priest an unforgettably intense and immersive listen for those brave enough to explore its forbidden depths.
