Devout
Let's face it; spirituality can be sexy. That goes double for men of the cloth, who display such passion and devotion toward their chosen deities. For some, nothing is more erotic than men dedicating their lives to faith and service. However, even the most pious men aren't above temptation, and the men of Devout find themselves more than eager to explore a more carnal interpretation of worship. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy five doses of old-time religion spiked with erotic intrigue and a delicious hint of sin that will have you reaching for some holy water, preferably with ice.
Changing hearts and opening minds has been an uphill battle for Reverend Philip, one that has sent him even further into the closet. Little does he know the simple act of protecting a bullied outsider will force him out of the closet and face to face with the powers of those who have been Transformed. Helping Evan quickly becomes less a question of right and wrong and more A Question of Faith, both in God and in his own abilities.
Wearing a Roman collar shows without words that Paul is Never Not a Priest, but the weight of that fact has kept him from fully embracing himself and his lover, Tyler. When the bishop of his diocese announces the Anglican Church will marry those within the LGBT community, Paul is forced to rethink his now-pre-marital affairs.
Giving in to lust demons is an occupational hazard for priests like Leo, but his half-brother Theo has always been a grounding force amidst the maddening pleasure. Higher level demons mean trouble, though, and even with many exorcisms under his belt, the town of Fieldstream might just have more Lust Allure than Leo can handle.
Lord Rhys, heir to the earldom of Kent, is intelligent and unattainable as far as Father Andrew is concerned. To avoid a great famine, the unlikely pair sets out to commission an engineer to build a much needed Water Wheel. However, if the power-hungry Bishop of Rochester has his way, their quest and budding affection are both doomed to failure.
Tyson may be the Son of a Preacher Man, but he's certainly no saint. Exorcising demons is taxing work, and his partner, Seb, certainly knows how to relieve the tension. Their latest assignment seems ordinary enough, but Seb's connection to this particular hellspawn means Ty might have to strike a deal, and the terms will be questionable at best.

4 HEARTS--3.9 Hearts to be exact but through the power of hot priests, I will round up! ;D
(less G rated pic on the blog) :D
This anthology is a mixed bag five totally different stories and takes on the men of faith - ranges from modern day to historical to urban fantasy to paranormal, Devout delivers the hotness (mostly) With only one dud in the bunch I think this anthology is worth the time and effort, if you're curious.
A Question of Faith by D.K. Jernigan - 2 Hearts
If I'd never read this author before in the Tall, Dark and Wriggly anthology, I wouldn't know how good of a writer they are. This story was odd and not a strong start to the anthology. A Question of Faith? Good title choice because I have more questions than answers at the end of this story. A priest in Idaho saves a younger gay man (or teen?) from being beat up in front of his church. The young man is named Evan and he's Infected or Transformed. Being Infected means you have a superpower from what or whom? *shrugs* You can get it from sex, maybe? *shrugs* The priest, Phillip, is thirty and closeted in a conservative town. he helps Evan, then loses Evan to angry mob, then finds Evan again with the help of Evan's sister. The siblings are both Infected with not entertaining superpowers - they were meh. The story was meh. Why introduce the paranormal aspect if it wasn't going to enhance the story? It just made an easy kidnap find easy. There's a handjob which I question because if I got my faced kicked in more than once, I'm not worrying about sexy times. The kid is beat up and drunk...why is he worried about his penis or Phillip's? It read weak. The entire story is weak. A decent idea, haphazardly written with a weak sort of HFN ending.
Never Not a Priest by Annabeth Leong - 4 Hearts
Who knew feet washing could be so erotic? This was a great addition to Devout. For the length, I got a great sense of the main characters. And they came off real...like regular flawed human beings. And I could've done with out the sex (though it's a yummy addition) Whoa. I can't believe I said that but it was so good. Anglican priest Paul is gay and has been living in the "shadows" by fornicating with Tyler, a sculptor, for 5 years. It's more of a "fuck buddy" relationship but during that time the men came to care and love one another. Paul wrestles with his faith and following his bishop's recommendation, so the moment he receives a letter from his bishop acknowledging LGBT parishioners and clergy including their marriages and civil unions, he wants to propose to Tyler and stop his sinning. So he does and they walk off into the sunset? WRONG! And that's why this story rocked. The two go back and forth discussing their concerns and don't jump into the next level of their relationship without talking and thinking things over. Sweet story, it got wordy with the religion's views about the LGBT community in a few spots but overall a satisfying short.
Lust Allure by Ann Anderson - 4 Hearts
Okay...I thought this was going to brocest. I barely finished the story's blurb once I saw half-brother and demon. I was ready. But it's not brocest. Instead it's sort of a fantasy/paranormal with an Old Western feel with super hot sex between an exorcist priest and a lust demon. If I rated the story based on that hot rough sex scene, it'd be 4-4.5 hearts, easy. But the story introduces you to this interesting world and gives the bare minimum. Good enough to answer some of the pertinent questions but not enough, not nearly enough. I stared at the end thinking another 20 pages were going to sprout out the screen. Leo is the exorcist priest who battles lust demons with magic , runes, a little help from his half demon brother but mostly through fucking the enemy. Hot. Hot! Getting impaled on demon cock on an altar? *trembles* I wished it was longer. I wish there was more resolution written about the town of Fieldstream. The story is maybe 3.5 if based on the plot - great ideas, good enough execution. And the ending left me wanting more. I'll average the hotness factor and the plot to rate this one.
Water Wheel by Angelia Sparrow - 5 Hearts
AMEN! This story was everything! Well written, full with fleshed out characters, an adventure, a little suspense and medieval historical romance. Oh, did I mention that it was H.O.T.? And there's a young, virgin ginger monk as a MC? *swoon*
Something about this story made me think of "Pillars of the Earth", could be the timeline. I dunno. But there's a villainous, lecherous bishop named Leo who is greedy and full of yuck and he has big dreams of papal domination. But not for himself, for the sweet, godly, redheaded Father Andrew. Father Andrew has his own secret, plays his cards very close to his chest and loves the young, handsome Lord Rhys from afar. Leo throw the two young men together on a road trip to help save Lord Rhys' lands. On this trip, the adventure never ends and the men get closer. How close?
That close.
The sexual tension and kisses are full of aching passion. I could have read an entire novel just on these two. The writing was entertaining and I loved the end. It was a HEA and didn't leave any loose ends. I need more of this author in my life. I love her ideas.
Son of a Preacher Man by Cari Z. - 4.5 Hearts
Oh man, this was a little mini head trip but a fun one. First off the beginning starts of with a bang...literally in a gas station bathroom stall. Fuckhot! Oh yes! And it features an establish couple of sorts, an exorcist priest, Tyson and his lover with a hellish background, Seb. Together they battle, demons and send them back to Hell. But there are secrets that Seb never shares. On a exorcism call in Idaho, these secrets come to light. The would building (for the limited amount of words) was interesting. I'd read more of this world. The tinge of horror was nice touch. The writing was vivid and really put you into this alternate universe world. This is my second time of reading about Seb's kind (for lack of a better word) and it still interests me. Sexy, a little scary and some information. All in all a satisfying little nugget.

Never Not a Priest by Annabeth Leong - 4 Hearts
"Didn't Mary Magdalene wash Jesus' feet with her hair at some point? I don't see why I can't wash yours with my tongue."
"I didn't know you knew this much about the Bible."
"I know enough to be dangerous."

3.75 Priestly Stars (rounded up)
A Question of Faith by D.K. Jernigan NR
Skipped because Baby said.
Never Not a Priest by Annabeth Leong
2.5 Stars
A nice enough story about a closeted priest, Paul, and his lover, Tyler, coming out once same sex marriage is legalized in their state. I found it a little dry without a lot of heat between the two MCs. The backstory wasn't detailed enough to get me invested in them as a coiple readying for marriage and then it got too technical for me with the church politics.
Lust Allure by Ann Anderson
3.5 Stars
This story could've been longer. I was almost immediately sucked into the story of two half brother priests, Theo and Leo, who specialize in exorcisms. Lust demons have taken over a town and sunk it into depravity leaving the children to fend for themselves whilst the parents orgy it up in the church. The world building is a mixed bag. On the one hand, I liked that the demons have levels, but I found the nebulousness of the genre frustrating.
Water Wheel by Angelia Sparrow
5 Stars
FANTASTIC! Medieval English setting that's constructed well. Andrew, a monk at the nearby Abbey, has been in love (from afar) with Lord Rhys for the past 3 yrs. Lord Rhys is in line to become the Earl of Kent but famine threatens his future realm. He must find an architect to build water wheels for the crops and has to go hat in hand to the bishop. Serendipity puts Andrew and Rhys together. An adventure ensues involving bandits, sword fighting and a narrow escape. Both of these characters were well fleshed out and the writing is golden.
Son of a Preacher Man by Cari Z.
4 Stars
Talk about starting off with a bang! It got my attention right away and held it. Ty is not an actual priest, more of a ghostbuster. His boyfriend, Seb, is more… complicated. No spoiling, but I will say their relationship needs some TLC when we catch up to them and Xaphan, the demon who has taken over a human, facilitates a long overdue conversation between Ty and Seb. Good plot development that held my interest and kept me guessing.
The anthology overall has good diversity, though I skipped the first story; I think there is something here for everyone.
All the sudden church ain't looking so bad.

I sounded like I was dying violently as my orgasm surged through me, and it kind of felt that way: ecstatic, furious, witheringly exhausting.

This is a collection of m/m shorts with priest themes. I went in expecting some serious forbidden love angst, but it wasn’t really that at all. The stories are very different, ranging from historical, to paranormal, to contemporary romance.
A Question of Faith by DK Jernigan – This is a very short, slightly paranormal story about a closeted priest, hoping to change a very conservative town from the inside out. Reverend Phillip is a man devout in his faith, and often turns to God for guidance in his actions. His sense of right and wrong is put to the test when a young man who is both gay and Infected with a magical gift is set upon by members of the town. Phillip must decide whether to help the young man and risk all he has worked to build. On top of that, he must consider whether his own attractions are influencing his decisions.
I liked this story. Obviously, in 25 pages, an author can only do so much. But I felt that both Phillip and Evan were fairly fleshed out as characters. There’s a little bit of bedroom play, but closer to third base than full on action.
Never Not a Priest by Annabeth Leong – Our leading man in this short is Father Paul, an Anglican priest, struggling with how his gay relationship fits into his vows of chastity outside of marriage. As the story begins, however, his church is embracing same sex unions and the bishop wants gay clergymen to take advantage of the opportunity. For the first time in his life, Paul has the chance to live according to the dictates of his heart, without sinning in the eyes of his faith. But has he done too much damage to his boyfriend’s heart with his years of hiding?
This was a gentle story about a man’s struggle with his true faith and desires. There is a real earnestness about God and religion –and their place in a committed relationship. Not what I expected from a collection of stories branded as erotic. There’s sex, yes, but even that is less about the dirty and more of a religious experience. Well written, and with heart, but a little more devotional than I was looking for.
Lust Allure by Ann Anderson – The title of this story is pretty indicative of its content. It definitely rachets up the heat level. Leo is a priest able to exorcise lust demons. He and his brother are called into a small town overrun by them –and he has to draw them out. The thing is, he can only do it during sex with one of them. This is a spicy paranormal short –without much in the way of feelings. A good counterbalance to the Leong story. But I’ll admit all the touchy feeling between Leo and his brother kind of squicked me out. What was up with that?
Water Wheel by Angelia Sparrow – We move from paranormal to historical with this short. Andrew isn’t really so much a priest as one in training. His father is the bishop, but his parentage is a guarded secret. Daddy Dearest is nothing close to a pious man and would use anything at his disposal to get what he wants, including his own son. When Rhys, the son of a neighboring earl comes forward to ask the church’s help in dealing with a drought, the bishop offers up Andrew to assist. Andrew has long fought his feelings for Rhys, but will he be able to stay on his path with temptation so close?
Obviously, not. I felt that for such a devoted guy, Andrew gives in to lust pretty easily. And that moves to love in a hot second. This struck me as much a fantasy story as a historical one, just because it’s all so unrealistic. I kept waiting for a knight or a dragon to pop up. It’s not very emotional or very sexy. Just ok.
Son of a Preacher Man by Cari Z – This was probably my favorite story of the collection. Ty is an exorcist who is struggling with the fact that his boyfriend’s body is now inhabited by the soul of a hellhound. Is there any of Jeremy still there or is it all Seb? –And can Seb ever really have any feelings for him? I actually felt the mixed emotions from Ty and I left the story wanting more. The author made me care about these two in a very short time and I think that after this, I might check out more of her work.
Overall, I enjoyed the collection, but I do prefer my anthologies to feature stories that are a little longer. Some of these were shorter than others, but the last one, especially, made me wish there was more to it.

the stories themselves were very good. the length of the book vs price was a bit skewed though IMHO.
