JOSEPH
Coming out of the jungle after almost twenty years, I’m not grappling with my faith as I reconsider my future in the priesthood, it’s a different sort of calling. Something I don’t even know yet, until I meet her.
I’m not grappling with my faith, but I’m sure as hell gonna be grappling with my Grace. In the horizontal position, if I’ve got anything to do with it.
Her dad Carl is my best … it.
Her dad Carl is my best friend, we grew up together and he’s saved my ass so many times it hurts to think I’m breaking his heart by loving his daughter, but that fresh calling I got? The one that drew me from the jungle, it all makes sense as soon as I see her, and I know, right there and then that she’s my woman and I have to make a family of my own with her. Starting right now.
GRACE
What’s wrong with me?
It feels like something in me is going to burst, all from staring at a man?
A real man though, that’s the only way to describe Joseph Parker. A priest, maybe. But he’s a real man, right here in my dad’s dining room.
I’ve never even kissed a boy before, let alone touched myself. Nor have I ever thought of, let alone done half of the things I’m suddenly thinking as soon as his hand touches mine.
Is this just a stupid crush? I don’t think so, and from the looks of things in the front of Joseph’s pants, plus those smoldering dark eyes he’s giving me, he feels exactly the same way I do.
It’s instant jungle love and I’m hooked. If only I knew the best way forward to make him my first, my only. And without hurting my dad.
*Priest is a SHORT insta-everything standalone instalove romance with an HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.

I really liked this short story. I had put off reading it because of the title – I’m not big on books that involve priests – but I’m glad that I read it. It was entertaining and enjoyable even with the massive hormone fest when Joseph and Grace meet. The characters were likable and interesting. Joseph is re-evaluating his priorities so to get help with that he has come home to spend time with his friends. Grace has graduated from college but is taking a gap year to decide what she wants to do next. As soon as Joseph and Grace are in the same room together they are drawn to each other. It’s almost as if they are alone in the room, even when they aren’t. Grace makes me want to smack her a few times, but Joseph is fantastic. He is patient, kind, and bends over backward to try to make everyone happy. I loved the happy ever after that Grace and Joseph get. I recommend reading this book.
This story is a very quick, short read about Joseph and Grace. Joseph is reconsidering his future in the priesthood, and Grace, happens to be his best friend’s daughter. Their chemistry is chart stopping. He is worried he’s too old for Grace and that is an area of contention between them. For me, the best part of the book is the HEA in the Epilogue – this was the part I enjoyed the most.

“Priest” is the older man/younger woman quick romance of Joseph & Grace. Joseph has just returned from years of being a missionary and is staying with his best friend Carl. Grace is Carl’s daughter who has just finished college. When they meet it is insta-lust and love at first sight. Their inner dialogue is hilarious as they plot on ways to be alone without her dad finding out. This story is told in alternating POV, over a span of a few days, with longing, passionate encounters and emotional moments for all. I like that they are both innocent and try to be respectful of her father in spite of their attraction. Very entertaining!

Still saying my Hail Mary’s after reading Priest………so much delicious sin!!!
Well Joseph does not really act like a priest when he is around Grace. Instead it seems both have been struck by the lightening bolt of love and Cupid’s arrow at the same time. Even though they have incredible chemistry and a pull to each other they both have to decide what their future should be.
This is an engaging story with two well developed and great characters. As always Flora Ferrari has also brought a lot of steamy heat to the story so be prepared to say some Hail Mary’s after you read this book.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Joseph is back in town staying with his friend while he decides what his next move will be. He has been a missionary for a long time. Grace is running late for dinner with her father and his friend Joseph. However the minute she walks in and sees Joseph its all she can do to think clearly. Joseph knows that he wants Grace but doesn’t know what to do about her father. Grace’s father is against them being together and this causes some tension between the three of them. Joseph just plans to wait patiently until he can claim his woman but he also buys a house across the street from them so he can watch over her. Will Grace’s father see that they are happy and give his blessing? Can they be together if he doesn’t?
This is a great story that will captivate you from beginning to end. The chemistry between them is sizzling hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

In this book we meet Grace and Joseph. Grace is running late and is late for dinner. The reason this is important is because on this night her dad’s friend is their. He has been out in the field on a mission for the church for many years not. Grace has decided to take a year off of school and has been trying to do what she can to help around the house. He father works 2 jobs and Grace is doing all she can to help him. With her first look at his friend Joseph she knows he will be someone important to her. Joseph is at a crossroads and doesn’t know where he wants to go next. So he comes to his friends home to spend some time figuring it all out. One look at his daughter though and he knows which path he should take and it is the one that leads to Grace. Will these two find that HEA they are both craving or will Grace’s dad be the person who will make sure that never happens?
This is an amazing story from this author. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don’t want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Once I started I could not put the book down from start to finish you just could not get enough with twists and turns hot and steamy like a rollercoaster ride of emotions that makes you want more. Joseph and Grace had instant attraction, Joseph a Priest came back from the missionary after twenty years. Does Joseph stay with the Priesthood and forget Grace or does he leave to have his own family?
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.

Oh my word this a sweet but hot love story & read it with a smile on my face. I loved that both Joseph & Grace were virgin’s proving that they were meant to be together. Although Grace’s dad Carl was mega annoyed that his best friend was sleeping with his daughter he soon came around when he realised how much they both loved each other & having arranged their wedding he met his new wife.

This book reads more like an older man’s fantasy that a romance novel.

This book was a disappointment to me. The storyline did not ring true and. I found it hard to accept the actions of the main characters. I do not believe Joseph was a priest, a man who wanted to help others would not become obsessed with a young girl at first sight, nor that she would return his feelings to the point where she commits herself to him forever the next morning. For me to enjoy a story, it must make me accept the story, even if it is a book of fiction. This book reads more like an older man’s fantasy that a romance novel.

A well written story with nice storyline and plot. It is an insta everything story with nicely defined main characters who have a nice chemistry between them.
A change of life for both the characters is required but can they do that? What will the costs be if the go for their HEA? Sparks fly, steam coming of the pages and a fight for what they know they want.
A very short read where the characters could have been more realistic in some places. A story that is a fast read and has a fast paced attraction but absolutely entertaining.
A captivating read from beginning to end! An exciting storyline that leaves you breathless wanting more! Sexy steam filled chemistry! Emotionally heartfelt, enjoyable and fun! One heck of a twisted, intense rollercoaster ride! An amazing must read!

Holy mother of all that is sweet and good (to quote Chandler Bing). Just when I think you’ve reached your limit, and there’s no way you can possibly write a new, original story . . . . there you go. This book has enough fire to burn out all the hell, and leave only the best of heaven and an everlasting love.
