Beautiful Sinner: A Forbidden Romance (Beautiful Series) Kindle Edition

From the author of the #1 Amazon Bestselling series Salacious Players' Club!

Lord, help me...
A beautiful, young American girl wound up stranded far from home on my doorstep. When she begged me to stay, I did what a good priest would do, and I said yes.
But a good priest wouldn’t spend his days thinking about the fullness of her ruby-red lips or feel the sting of envy with the way she draws men to her like flies to honey.
A good priest would have stopped things before that first touch. And he certainly wouldn’t have given into temptation so easily, but when Cadence Thorn walked in, she brought me to my knees.
A good priest takes his vows seriously.
But I am not a good priest.

Beautiful Sinner is a steamy priest romance with an HEA and explicit content appropriate for mature readers.

Honest to God, this was one of the best books I have read recently. Books usually have slow parts and sometimes it’s hard to connect with characters. I connected with all the main characters in this book, and I was sucked in from the very beginning! Well, written, and fast paced story! I loved that It was not insta love, and was rooting for them so hard.

Talk about...if he wanted to, he would! That is Callum. I loved the slow burn of this relationship. It was so perfect! I loved the fire of Candace. She was definitely stronger than she thought she was. I have read multiple Sara Cate books, and this one didn't disappoint either.

Cadence needed to get out of California and feel useful again, so when she gets to Ireland she is excited for the new "love" she has got and can't wait to get to the hotel room with him. When they all go to the bar and she gets trashed that someone helps her back to her room, she is all good. When she wakes up though and "boyfriend" isn't in the room she is confused. She looks out the window and the car is gone. When the owners of the B&B tell her she got scammed and now all her stuff was stolen she has no choice but to call home for help. She was told by her sister to find herself so next thing she knows she's asking for a job at the B&B and the priest of the town is the one who saved her from the bar is also the co-owner of the B&B. Callum is instantly attracted to her but he has his vows to keep to God. What happens when love comes in-between? What happens when you're competing with God? What happens when sinning looks better than being good?

I adored Cadence and Callum. The forbidden aspect of this all made for a fun ride. The angst of the couple is hot and you just are cheering for him to finally break his vow! Callum just can't get it together at points and you wanna punch him for what he says to Cadence but at the same time you understand cause he can't beat temptation of her. I love watching them fall in love.

First I want to say how much I love the whole forbidden priest trope! It’s hot. But this book just fell flat for me. I tried to really get into this book, but I struggled for awhile. At first I didn’t like Cadence. I thought she was flighty, childish and too dependent on others, she relied on her sister for a lot. Then I started to see her change and become a little more independent, only for my opinion to change again. I didn’t like how she ran home again at the end, and never told Callum she was pregnant. That was such a selfish thing to do.
Callum was so torn over his devotion to the church and his feelings for Cadence that it literally gave me whiplash reading it. I didn’t feel any connection between them because it was so back and forth with them. One minute they can’t keep their hands off each other and the next he’s running away and avoiding her. And practically the entire book she doesn’t know what she wants either. She allows others to get in her head and then her feelings change.
This book wasn’t bad, but I think it could’ve been better too. The very ending was however good!

This book contains two of my favorite tropes. Age gap and fallen priest. Callum struggles with his vow to God and his feelings for Cadence. They both know it’s wrong, but sometimes the heart can’t be denied. Knowing a little bit of Cadence’s past from Beautiful Monster, I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about her. She has a story, and her character has depth which we find throughout this story. They are perfect for each other💜

Working through Sara's backlist, how did I not know about the HOT IRISH PRIEST!?!?!? It was immediately bumped to the very next on my TBR and it did not disappoint! Chefs kiss on this story of Cadence a 24 year old traveler and Callum the Irish Priest that helps his sister manage the Bed & Breakfast Cadence stumbles into. This book is an incredible mixture of plot & steam while we learn about Cadence with her propensity to fall in love easily and her attempt to find independence after a being stranded in Ennis Beach Ireland. Father Callum who is 20 years older (we love an age gap) of course finds her irresistible and although he is committed to his collar, he starts to question his vows. While their love story moves quickly, I wouldn't call it instalovey. This story is definitely more of a medium burn, and it's done so well. It builds up just enough anticipation, without having you pull your hair out waiting for them to touch hands. Over all, the questions of faith and mixing two lost souls leads to a fantastic story with great character redemption.

Two tortured souls find each other. Cadence is looking for love in all the wrong places. She so desperately wants to be loved. She ends up in Ireland alone and used. She meets this grumpy man at the B&B. This grumpy man is Callum, and he is the towns priest.

Thorn Birds meets the Priest. This series is good, but I do prefer this book to the first one. Highly recommend.

"I am a priest, meant to serve God's creation. And out of all God's creations, she is by far my favourite"

This was a beautiful love story. It told love in a different way. It was perfect, it was intense and difficult. It was forbidden and going through the emotions with the characters I could feel the pull they had towards each other. Sara's writing was great and I can't wait to read more from her. I really enjoyed this story, it's made me want to read more priest love stories. It's so intriguing because it is the most forbidden romance. Again this was a great romance, it was passionate and steamy. Cadence and Callum together we're a force.

I loved Cadence, I've never read a character like her before with her characteristics. She was so sassy and feisty. She had a backbone and always stood up for herself especially with Callum. She was a woman who knew what she wanted and wasn't ever ashamed. To be who she wanted and be with whoever she wanted. I admired her a lot. I also admired her care towards other people. Cadence was someone who took care of other people and never taking time for herself. She gives without ever asking for anything in return. She looks for love in all the wrong places and gives her heart and body too easily. She's a pleaser but that's what makes her such a good character, she's romantic and all she wants is love and a family.
Let's not forget about Callum. I loved him. I mean he's a terrible priest. I definitely understood why Cadence was so drawn to him. Even without him being a priest he was so intriguing and so hot. He was stern and serious and i couldn't get enough.

Again I really enjoyed this book. Written very well and I highly recommend

- I was given an arc for an honest review -
