Blessed
Bless me Father, for her very name is Sin...
Her body is temptation.
The knowledge she offers is forbidden.
The way she flaunts it, I know she teases me.
She wants to stroke the fires I thought I had extinguished.
But if I let it erupt, it will burn us both.
I'm no stranger to carnal pleasures.
Before assuming the cloth, I was a paragon of Lust.
Putting more than just sacrament in the mouth of every woman I met.
Those days are supposed to be forsaken.
But all I can imagine is Clarise on her knees.
And not just at the altar.
This is madness.
There is only one way for me to deliver us from it.
I need to push her against the wall.
And take her to Heaven.
As many times as it takes.
This book is not for everyone. There are no cliffhangers nor is there any cheating, but if you are easily offended, please think twice. HEA guaranteed..

Blessed by Alexis Angel a fab four star read. I have read several books by this author and loved everyone, they all have a great story and lots of fun and flirtyness and lots of steam pull everything together. This is a bad priest romance and Conner is a perfect example of a man of faith from the Order of the Temple. He has taken his vows seriously through the years, and they haven’t ever been pushed until he meets Clarice again. The passion between him and Clarice melts off the page, they are both very strong and powerful characters that have a battle ahead, but who will become the victor? This is a great hot and powerful read, if you are after a good story with lots of steam this is the book for you.

As the title suggests, sinning never felt so good! There is never disappointment when you read a Naughty Angel Publishing book and Blessed is no exception. The storyline is a bit taboo as Connor, a holy man within the Order of the Temple takes over as a family adviser for the Donovan family after the passing of his father. He has taken a vow of celibacy until he meets Clarise Donovan and the temptation is just too great to resist. He gives in to those temptations in all the wrong places. Clarise is a strong willed, strong minded female that wants to be taken more seriously within the family and have a bigger role in the family business and does so with Connor's help. The story has a few twists along the way, an over the top sibling rivalry and a lot of hot and sexy love scenes that will leave you breathless and wanting more. This book ends with no cliffhanger and delivers a HEA. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Connor is the moral adviser for Clarise's family, he took over his father's position after he died. Clarise always had a crush on Connor and now that she's in her twenties and he's going to be around daily, she figures it's time to be a temptress and see if she can get Connor to submit to their smoking hot chemistry! Clarise and her brother Earl have always been rivals and now it's getting out of hand because Earl is taking the family business into some shady dealings that could cost them dearly! Connor is trying his best to fill his father's shoes but he can't get past his growing need for Clarise! When lines are crossed and vows are broken, will they even have the chance for a future or will Earl see to it that they all lose? This is a different story then the books I've been reading and I really liked it!! As with all Alexis Angel books, you know the sex will be smoking hot and kinky!!!

I did receive a free ARC copy of this book from Booksprouts in exchange for an honest review, which I freely give.
In this book, we have Connor, who is a man of God, who works for an organization - The Oder of the Temple, who works for families to give business advise and help. He also works in a local church with the children and families.
Clarise is the daughter in a very wealthy family. She is trying to gain more of a leadership type role in her families business, however, her brother is older and takes on most of the responsibility. She is trying to gain her father's trust and show him she too can handle the business.
Clarise does tempt Connor. Connor is suppose to be not tempted by the flesh. Although, Clarise has gotten to him. He can't resist her, even though he should.
Will Clarise's brother - Earl - get in the way of their new relationship? Will his blackmail break them apart for good? Will Connor leave Clarise and go back to Rome without her?

Blessed by Alexis Angel was a good read. If you want a book with some drama, angst and a lot of sex this books for you. I'm a fan of Alexis Angel's books but I must admit this was not my favorite. It is just what you expect from an Alexis Angel book. It's hot, sexy and a bit dirty. However I feel the description of the book is misleading. Connor is NOT a priest! Does some taboo stuff happen? Sure. But He is not a priest. For some this will be a relief, for others a disappointment and for me, I just felt mislead. I expect and enjoy the push the boundaries, in your face, over the top offering that are usually forthcoming from Ms. Angel and I must say that this kind of felt like a cop out to me. Connor and Clarise are a hot couple though, the writing is good and the book was enjoyable. I am posting an honest review after reading an ARC copy of this book.
August 22, 2017
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book through Booksprout. I honestly do not know how this woman continues to write the most sexy, steamy novels, omg this is off the hook crazy good, she has a such an amazing way with words, I just sit there with my mouth on the floor gasping for more. I loved this book, it hooked me from the beginning until the end, I couldn’t put it down. Connor stepping into his father’s shoes, he takes his vows very serious, but is tempted by Clarise and she has plans for him. Will Connor be able to keep her at arms length? Or will he succumb to temptation and take Clarise? This book is so sizzling hot you will definitely need a fan around while you are reading it. Loved it! Alexis you are amazing!!!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Conner is a self-proclaimed religious man that is self-celibate after years of being a man whore. No woman has been tempted enough to make him change his ways. But when he has to start working for the Donovans- Clarise just might be too tempting to resist.
As always when you read an Alexis Angel book you will get a lot of naughty and a pretty good story. This one is no different. Just know that Conner is not a Priest and there is no dirty church to be had. Clarise is a girl that wants to work for her family and with a brother that will do anything to stop that Conner seems to be in the middle. This is a good book and I would highly recommend it.

Wow this is a good taboo, sexy story!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. But I bought the book because I love all Alexis’ books and to add more weight to my review. I love all the “Angel's” writing and stories. As I have said before and will say it again, I am never disappointed reading one of Alexis’ stories! So this was a steamy, lustful taboo story. Connor has taken a vow of celibacy and Clarise is about to be his provocative test! Really you should one-click this book because you really need to read this lustful, sexy story for yourself. Everybody has given enough information so I won’t except what I have already said. You won’t be disappointed. Just one-click it!

This was a super sexy forbidden book and I loved every word of it.Connor is now appointed to the Donovan family taking his fathers place as advisor and has sworn off women belonging to an order of the Catholic Church guiding the most powerful men in the world until he meets up with Clarise again after all this time and she is one feisty seductive beautiful woman that cannot be ignored no matter what.This is Connors biggest temptation to keeping his vows and pray to God he can keep them.This is a whirlwind of emotion and temptation and the ultimate control.I loved every single word.I voluntarily read a readers copy of this book
August 23, 2017
Alexis Angel does it again. If you are easily offfended or uncomfortable with taboo scenarios or steamy sex, then I suggest you stop right there. Within this book you will get some humor, drama, that taboo scenario of a man who shouldn't want something but does and some really steamy sex scenes that will get you all hot and bothered. Yes, if you enjoy that you will most definitely enjoy this book. Connor is a man of the cloth, took an oath of celabantcy and has a past but when he meets Clarise will he be able to resist her? You will have to pick this book up, you will not be disappointed. I voluntarily read an Advanced Reader's Copy of this book.
August 25, 2017
Recieved this book free for my honest review. Was a little worried if this book was for me, Having a religious undertones, and a priest in the title. But never fail, you have to read this and it all makes sense, and it is awesome. The chemistry between Conner and Clarisa is hot. Not only that but they make sense in business and since Conner is the advisor to her family in business matters. Clarise not just wants Conner but needs him. She got her first kiss from Conner and she knew he was hers. Conner is so conflicted and not even praying can get Clarise out of his head. Great book, amazing sex, and two people that need and want each other and deserve the HEA

Oh Clarice, you are one naughty girl. When Connors father died, he took over his roll, of guiding the Donovan family. Little did he realise how much temptation there would be . Clarice Donovan is the biggest temptation of all and at one point I did feel sorry for him BUT he is more than a match for her. A brilliant hot, sexy story with lots of sibling rivalry, temptation, sex, drama, secrets and one thing that both Clarice and Connor haven't bargained on....Love ❤️

Headline: This was hot! Though, what else would you expect from Alexis Angel?
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. When I first saw the type of book this was, “Bad Priest”, the good little Christian girl in me shuddered. BUT after reading the blurb and listening to the naughty smut-loving woman inside me and I dove in. Sooo worth it. I HATED Earl. Hated him enough to almost stop reading, but survived. I loved Clarise and Connor’s chemistry and of course the happy ending makes everything better. Would recommend. Happy reading!

This is a kindle melting sexy read about a priest and the woman who is going to lead him to hell, or heaven depending on your point of view. This is a short, quick, smokin' hot read that is absolutely sinful in all the right ways. Alexis Angel is one of those authors you can't put down once you start reading. No subject is off limits and even though the story isn't long, you never feel like it is rushed or lacking.
August 23, 2017
Alexis Angel does it again with her next naughty read, Blessed. Clarise and Connor are tempted to beyond belief to explore their unholy desires. It's sinful, it's smoking hot, and it's quite an eye opening read. I loved the heat between the two main characters. I loved how decadently bad they were. And Earl was just the kind of brother that added color to the story. This book redefines temptation! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

SMUT-a-fest!
I enjoyed all of this book but the last story. Maybe it is sexist of me to enjoy these stories when told from the man's perspective but not from a sexually liberated female. Oh well just one woman's opinion. Hopefully others will enjoy the whole book from beginning to end. Thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the book. The main story is the one that rocks and pulls this book up by its boot straps.

Sex 5.0
Detailed sex scenes that will leave you hot around the color. This was truly an erotic romance book. Anywhere a sex scene could fit was put into this story. The storyline was very good. I would have liked some more details of the mother relationship with her daughter. I really didn’t need so many sex scenes. I really just skipped a lot of them to get to the story. But it was a really good read. Happy reading!!!!!

Alexis has a way with words, that draws the reader into her books. Once you start one of her books, you just don't want to put it down. Blessed lives up to it's name. Connor steps into his dads shoes to protect the Donovan family. Clarise has plans of her own to try and seduce Connor. Will he be able to resist her? You need to read to see what happens with Connor/Clarise.
August 25, 2017
This book was not at all like I imagined it would be - it was a lot better. Yes, it has the trademark Alexis Angel panty-melting sexiness, but I also enjoyed the banter and the puns on the holy words. Clarise & Connor's chemistry was explosive, and trust me: sinning definitely was a lot sexier than you'd expect in this book.

Love it
I loved how Clarise was a temptation to Conner from the beginning... She was a sin and sins are meant to be broken. The chemistry and sex between Conner and Clarise is explosive.. I don't want to give a lot way but if you love a sexy priest then this is a book is for you.. If not then its still a book to read plus you get bonus stories!

Wow, what a taboo, steamy and hot story this is!! Connor has taken a vow of celibacy, and Clarise is determined to tempt his restraint. These two have explosive chemistry between them. No spoilers; this is a must read in my opinion.
This is a well written and wonderful storyline which flows seamlessly. Another great read from this author and I recommend her work for all readers.

These two get it on all over the place- rarely in a bed or even in a home! This story was enjoyable and kind of taboo, forbidden, sexy. It flowed well with real, well rounded characters and dual pov. Of course it had a HEA as well. I received an arc of this.
