This week, we read Priest by Sierra Simone

This novel follows a Catholic priest in small town Kansas who meets Poppy — a high-end stripper trying to escape her horny past — and they spark a very strong connection. 

Abby Williams, who can never take communion the same way ever again, and Sierra Marshall, the expert in all things romance and smut, join me today to talk about sex and faith. 

In this episode we cover: 

  • Why Jenna’s face gets progressively more red the longer this recording goes on. 
  • The “WTF” factor that set in just 20 pages into this book.
  • Why if you’re new to romance and smut…just please skip this book and come back to it. It is an expert level book. 

Open your book and press play on a podcast episode that will have you either siding with Sierra or siding with Abby…nobody’s right or wrong, just VERY different tastes.

At Red Wine Reads, we want to engage in the stories of people from all kinds of backgrounds and experiences. The value of books lies in the power of storytelling and sharing a range of perspectives. We don't want to just read what we know, we want to read stories that open our worldview. And in turn, that means getting into challenging, rewarding conversations. But we are not experts in any field — literature, race relations, politics, etc .— and we know that our reviews of these books come from a place of privilege. We encourage our community of readers to add to these conversations with their own thoughts, critiques, and questions. We want to open up a safe place for people. That being said, we also realize that getting into race, sexuality, gender, and other difficult topics can be triggering. We aim to include content warnings whenever they are applicable but we are not perfect. So as we continue to do our best, know you have the room to tell us when we can do better and even, if you want to, share resources with us. Let's learn, grow, and have fun together.
