July’s reading list was anything but tame — full of sacred spaces defiled, sharp social commentary, and romance that defies convention. These books blend provocation with depth, offering more than just page-turning escapism.

The Priest Collection by Sierra Simone
Sierra Simone’s Priest Collection is a daring blend of erotic romance, theological wrestling, and redemption arcs. The series follows the Bell brothers, each shaped by a shared tragedy a decade prior.

  • Priest: Father Tyler Bell’s world fractures when a woman’s confessions awaken desires he cannot ignore.
  • Sinner: Sean Bell is still angry at God, but then he meets a beautiful, yet familiar woman whom he desires, but she desires to become a nun. How can he compete with God?
  • Saint: Aidan Bell’s attraction to Elijah is undeniable, but their romance is interrupted when Aidan abruptly departs to join a monastery.
