Fleeing a tumultuous past, Emily finds refuge at a kitchen job in a quiet countryside parish.
Robert and Laurent are two best friends with a bond that has crossed lines throughout their history but now walk the straight and narrow, giving their lives to their parish as priests.
One magical night under the harvest moon, Robert and Laurent experience a bizarre transformation: They wake up as a tomato and cucumber.
Emily brings these ripe and juicy vegetables into the kitchen, but instead of preparing a meal, she uses them for other, more carnal needs. Emily awakens something inside of the priests, who switch back and forth between their human and vegetable forms.
The three find themself in a steamy entanglement, unable to deny their primal desires. Will they fight their urges or break their vows and alter the course of their lives forever?
From the best-selling author of Get In My Swamp comes a veggie love story filled with angst and lust.
G.M. FAIRY is a #1 best-selling, romance author who dabbles in Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and all things whimsical. She's best known for Get In My Swamp and Pounded by Produce. Her specialty is taking the stories we all know and love and ruining them in the best way possible.
A book about a girl fucking a cucumber and a tomato who just so happens to be the priest at the church she just started working at, has absolutely no business being as good as it was. This had me laughing out loud and heating up at the same time. Enjoyed every second of it in one sitting. Idk what that says about me but idc anymore.
Will never not think about Robert, Laurent and Emily when I eat my veggies. What a beautiful way to start the new year, thank you G.M. Fairy!
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
i know i’m not on here anymore and i deleted all my negative reviews but i need to let the people know that the yaoi in this is more real than it is in blood of hercules. or even iron widow. tradpub polyam mlm representation is being crushed by veggie tales inspired erotica where the priests inexplicably turn into vegetables. #LOVEISLOVE
This commits to its absurd premise with the confidence of someone who's never once asked themselves “should I?” It never quite figures out what it actually wants to do with that premise once it commits, though.
It's undeniably unhinged. The concept's ridiculous and the execution's bold. The author understand escalation, and things keep getting bigger and stranger. At times it's genuinely very funny. I laughed a lot. Mostly out of disbelief. Occasionally out of genuine amusement. Still, laughter occurred.
But this is not a 200+ page idea. It's a 20 page idea stretched way beyond its natural limits. At a certain point it stops escalating and simply continues. Relentlessly. Like it refuses to end out of spite.
And then there are lines like: "He’s hard, so hard, unlike any cock I’ve felt before. He’s also smooth. Almost like a… I don’t know, a cucumber?" Uhh? Okay? Thank you for that... Moments like this sum up the reading experience perfectly. Confusing and slightly horrifying, but just self-aware enough that you keep going because surely it can't get more ridiculous.
It can. Oh, it absolutely can.
Technically speaking, this book is a bit of a mess. It needed a copy editor desperately. Tenses shift mid sentence and words are misused and sometimes they're missing entirely. I'm not asking for literary brilliance. I'm asking for sentences that function. That's the bare minimum.
Then there's the logic. Or lack of it. I know this isn't a book meant to be interrogated too deeply. But if you include priests as central characters and a dedication to "anyone who's experienced religious trauma", you can't really ignore the basics of the religion that's integral to your story. Catholicism's a key plot point, but treated with no depth or understanding. It feels like the author liked the idea of hot priests and built everything around that image.
Like, as an example, priests take a vow of poverty. But they buy a farm. How? With what money? Was it £3? Was there a clearance sale on land? I have questions and the book refuses to answer any of them.
Even chaotic fiction benefits from a little grounding. Five minutes of research would have changed a lot.
And the tone. That's where it really struggles. It keeps trying to balance absurd comedy with emotional sincerity and it doesn't quite manage it. One moment everything's crazy and unserious. The next it's trying to unpack trauma and emotional weight. Both approaches could work. But not together like this. It creates constant whiplash. It needed to choose: either go fully deranged vegetable insanity or commit to something darker and more grounded. Trying to do both just makes everything feel unstable.
It's not boring. I'll give it that. I was never bored. Confused and concerned, yes. Occasionally horrified. But never bored. It isn't particularly good or engaging, but it is an experience.
I am never ever eating another vegetable again. Pasta, eggs, cheese. That's my life now. Vegetables have lost their privileges.
🍵This Cooked, Ate, and Fucking Served Grab your tea, because I’m about to spill. ☕ And no, no one got chopped, but we did have a lot of seed. 🌱 I think I’m done with puns. I think. I’m not sure though. Lollllll You’re here, so you get what you get.
🔥The Menu • 🎈MMF cause you can’t make a salad with only 2 ingredients • 🧙🏻♂️Priests, Blasphemy, and the freaking Gods a.k.a. destiny meets chaos. • 🍅🥒🌶️Smut and spice in different forms wink wink (sorry, I said no more puns but alas) • ⛪Not one, but TWO confessional booth scenes…. Someone probably needs to get on their knees (they did) • 👻 An unhinged woman who really doesn’t scare fast. Honestly, this could be a horror book if it wanted to change some aspects. • So freaking hot. 🔥 • Two good boys and their dirty angel 😇
😏My Take That said, I know I gave this 3.5 stars, but I was grinning like it was 10 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am tempted as fuck to just give it 5.
The book was manifesting the cosmos. 🌌 It tried to be philosophical and theological at times, and yes, you can see it. It was so ridiculous I found myself cackling out loud. 😂
Now, the thing I couldn’t fully get behind was the “Father” nickname. Yeah, yeah, they are both priests, so Fathers. But I’m not a “daddy” girl, and even with all the blasphemous dishes I was eating up, it just left my cheeks red and my eyes rolling. 🙈
I loved that we have such different characters, but I did not feel they were explored as much as they could have been. Then again, it’s a 200-page book. I really enjoyed how much balance there was: • Between the POVs • The sex and intimate scenes • The emotional dynamics between the three Sure, expect things to move at 1.7x speed, but again, we’re doing quite a few things in 200 pages. ⚡
😂Final Recommendation Anyway, this is silly fun, laugh-out-loud time. It needs the right mood, and for you to overlook the elaborate plot and universe. It’s all there. No holes. (Can I make another pun? Please? No? Okay fiiiiiiinneeeee.) It’s coherent, just not bursting and overflowing. (Sorry, I had to.)
PS: I didn’t do audio for this one.
-- Pre-read: After the jury ruled on the last book, the judge ordered me to have a silly time cz life is not that serious.
3.5 - I did it y'all, I read Published Veggie Tales Smut. honestly, i was a lot more charmed by this than i thought i would be... a delightful dose of sacrilegious nonsense paired with horny gay priests has never done any harm, okay? plus Gail was fabulous. I enjoyed the scenes where they were not vegetables so much more than the vegetable scenes, though.
Anyways, I really think GM Fairy should hire me as their copy editor. I'd do it for free just for the bragging rights. Hello, please hire me, thank you, I will proudly wear the badge of smut editor, I know my p's and q's, and I'm willing to defer to you on the cum/come dichotomy (but we've REALLY gotta pick one, please).
Thank you beloved coworkers, without whom I would never know this existed. Maybe the wildest published book I've ever read, because I don't read in this genre at all, but frankly delightful and a great palate cleanser from the litfic swamp I've been trapped myself in. Wheeee!
Look idk what to tell you… this was a masterpiece….
Only bitches cry over two priests that get a spell on them that turns them into a tomato and a cucumber and they get fucked as vegetables by their live in chef but also the priests are in love but can’t be together and the author compares them to Achilles and Patroclus. It’s me. I’m bitches.
“Don’t do this to me. I love you. I will love you no matter what form you take. Man, priest, tomato, even in death, my heart will beat for you, and there’s nothing you can do about it.” LMAOOOOOOOOO fuck
exposure therapy for my aversion to raw tomatoes 🍅 okay but actually the consistent use of the word come instead of cum is my biggest critique. it really takes you out of the moment, ya know? 🍅 powells friends, I can’t wait to compare notes on this 🥒
When I read the title and the blurb I was very curious to read it. I havnt read much sentient objects erotica before but I was definitely intruied. It was just as silly in parts as I tought but also a rather good story and romance. Funny, smutty and weird but still very much a romance.
The amount of grammatical errors, incorrect words, switched tenses, missing words, etc. makes this read like a rough draft that never saw an editor. It makes no sense that it was published like this. Just because it's self-pubbed and spice doesn't make that acceptable.
Also the author clearly did next to zero research on Catholicism because woof. Have your sexy priests but you can spend twenty minutes on even attempting to get their speech patterns or sermons down. Like yeah, I'm being nit-picky as an ex-Catholic but it's just...so bad dude.
And another thing. You wanna write a polyamorous relationship, call it that. Because polygamy (pg 185 on my kindle) is a completely different relationship structure. Again, just five seconds to google the difference between the two. That's all.
This was surprisingly less weird than I thought it’d be?? I was laughing A LOT, and I absolutely loved the FMC. She was funny, relatable, and honestly I’m not sure I would’ve behaved any differently if I ever found myself working with two hot priests 🤷♀️🤣 speaking of priests, I love reading blasphemous books and this one definitely hit the spot for me 🥵 (even tho I wish it had been even dirtier lol)
The only reason this isn’t a 5 star read is because no lube for the MMCs first time is crazy work, and also… how did they buy a farm?? With what money?? lol priests don’t make that much, do they? Anyways, the ending felt a little rushed, but overall I really liked this book. Do I have a priest kink? Who knows. Maybe. Probably. Hot priests for the win!!
1st person - multiple povs mmf no virgins no condoms no sharing (besides between each other) no owd/omd no cheating no 3rd act breakup hea
I want TWO boyfriends. And I want the boyfriends to BE BOYFRIENDS. And I want to be THEIR girlfriend.
Honestly I don't know what to say, I have no words. There were parts that I thought were really impactful and parts that truly had me laughing out loud. There were also parts that weirded me out. This was a wild ride of a story and definitely is one of those turn your brain off to enjoy books. It was a very quick read. I finished it in a couple hours. I think the ending felt a little rushed for me.
If you grew up in a strict Catholic household and had your world rocked by a visiting young hot priest, If you attended seminary and casually looked at your roommate while you got off, If you ever look at some produce and think... smash, Have we got the book for you!!
Enjoy this positively unhinged (in the best possible way) MMF, veggie shifter, 2 priests x parish cook romance!
Proverbs 15:17 It is better to screw vegetables with those who love you than to screw meat with those who hate you. Or something like that... This was everything I wanted and more. The Veggie Tales we needed. What a healing experience. Jokes aside I absolutely loved this. GM Fairy is too freaking funny and I will forever be a fan. Laurent and Robert could get it. In veggie form too. Must read. Infinite stars. Definitely make getting smacked with a ruler in sunday school worth it.
Phenomenal. The Fathers Vegetable and Emily are each genuine characters, with hosts of their own traumas, resentments, and yearnings. This is a book that is assisted in being an interesting erotica that is sort of critical of the Catholic Church, by a vegetable bit. Love a bit.
2,5 stars rounded up because this book didn't take itself seriously and I had a blast ahahahahah
the premise of 2 priests living together for years and having unresolved feelings for each other, and adding a sweet, pretty female cook to the mix was good enough but having the priests turning into produce?! fucking comedy 🤣
Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned and loved every minute of it okay!!?!
Listen, if this is wrong to read, then I don’t wanna be right. It’s basically VeggieTales fanfic meets Fleabag, but like… I had a great time reading this sinfully spicy MMF fruitcake of a book! I listened to the audiobook narrated by Jameson Adams and Meg Price and they nailed it (pun absolutely intended). I highly recommend listening to the audiobook because I’ve read the book is chockfull of spelling and grammatical errors, and apparently ‘polyamory’ and ‘polygamy’ are thrown around interchangeably lawl. This was a cute, fun and hilariously unhinged read perfect for my reading slump. Try it on for size and have fun with it!
Anyway, anyone know of some hot bisexual priests looking to hire a live-in cook to help break their vows? Asking for a friend… 🍅🥒💦
listen NO ONE IS MORE SURPRISED THAN ME that I actually didn't hate this as much as I thought. I saw the rating and was confused about how high it was but if you completely remove the sentient vegetable storyline.... you'd get what I mean.
i cannot believe there is a book in this world where it is veggie tales inspired (SONGS INCLUDED) with some fleabag influence.... i can't wrap my head around it.
