Biblical Knowledge
He’s pure temptation—and I’m about to make him my religion.
Noah Miller is a brilliant biblical scholar with the kind of body that could make a priest break his vows. By day, he buries himself in dusty manuscripts. By night, he bares everything as “Solomon,” the stripper men pay to worship. His rule is simple—keep the sacred and the sinful in separate worlds.
Henry Forrester is temptation in human form—devout, disciplined, and so untouched it hurts. He’s the good Catholic boy who should be completely off-limits… but Noah’s never been good at resisting what he wants.
When they’re forced to work together, sparks turn into fire. Heated debates turn into stolen touches. And soon, Noah’s whispering filthy promises that have Henry falling to his knees for something far more dangerous than prayer.
Henry’s spent his life denying his hunger. Noah’s ready to feed it. And once they taste each other, there’s no going back.
Forbidden desire meets red-hot redemption in this sinful tale of faith, lust, and learning to love yourself in every way that counts. This 29k word novella can be consumed faster than a Sunday sermon, and it’s way more fun.

this is the 3rd story of this author that I've read and I have enjoyed them all. 1 It's about a devout Catholic who questions where his life is going because he is gay and then meets Noah who is temptation himself. He starts to feel something for Noah but has a severe falling out with his faith. might not be for every devout Catholic but its very well written

I've loved this series from the beginning, and this book was no exception. The divide between devotion and desire; prayer and passion. Great world building and wonderful characters. I loved both Noah and Henry. I loved how they met and left impressions on each other, and couldn't get the other out of his mind. Both of them were relatable and realistic, emotional. And their smarts, insight, and assessments separated them from the class (literally and figuratively) and made them feel all the more connected. Even from that first meeting, you could feel the chemistry between them.
I really liked the thought-provoking questions and studies throughout the story. Mrs. Scheinbaum's class fascinated me, and she was my favorite of all the supporting characters. I liked that Henry and Noah were from different religious. I loved the dynamic between them and the way their relationship developed.
This was such a sweet, beautiful romance, and I was completely hooked. My favorite in this series by far! 5 stars

ENGAGING AND EMOTIONAL!💕
Wow this was such an engaging and emotional read depicting religion with undertones of suppressed sexuality and inner homophobia!
S ong of Songs 2: 7-Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.
Ex Seminary scholar Henry Forrester, brilliant mind, beautiful soul and enticing body captures the attention of openly gay Noah Miller who seduces him with words and touch when they are paired together to do a project on the erotism of the Song of Solomon…
“My vow to keep boundaries intact disintegrated like a communion wafer on the tongue.”
A sweet, short story about finding your voice, finding inner peace and strength and most of all finding your perfect person!
A sweet, endearing, heartfelt epilogue follows three years later which rounds off their story beautifully!

So many questions, so few concrete answers. Religion is the craziest thing to try to pin down. Poor Henry is caught in a spiritual crisis. His awakening is fraught with tension, fear, and the unknown. Meanwhile, Noah may have strayed from his original upbringing, but his faith, Dr. Scheinbaum, and family brought him home.

Pretty nice to read but the storyline feels rushed.

I loved this book so much! It was beautifully written, touching, and had a great message. I'm not a religious person, but was raised Catholic and got a theology degree in college, so the story really spoke to me. (Even though none of my classes were as interesting as Sacred Eroticism!)
Henry's struggle with fear, guilt, and his relationship with God and Catholicism was written so well I could feel it and my heart broke for him. His journey is one that I'm sure many people can relate to and I hope they find encouragement and hope in this story.
All three books in the Divine Temptations series have been fantastic. The characters are wonderful, and relatively realistic for romance novels. There's a message in each one regarding personal relationships with God, religion, spirituality, etc., that I think are really important and spreading the right message of love and inclusion, not hate. We need more of that in the world today.
