Unholy Obsession by Stasia Black

After reading the first page, I was hooked. 

I'm a monster, but as so often happens with monsters, I've got everyone snowed into thinking I'm a good man from the outside. 

The priest's collar around my neck helps.

No one knows about the shattered glass and spilled blood. No one knows about the floggers and leather and the countless women I've put on their knees and ordered to call me Lord-

It's a very sexy story, with two deeply flawed characters who somehow make each other better.  

Moira is a sex addict and her life is spinning out of control. Bane took 180 from how he grew up and became a priest. His life is about to fall apart. He is still plagued by his father's upbringing and even though he did about everything to not turn out like him, he is plagued by it nonetheless. He is massively torn between what he knows is right and what he desires. And the thing he desires the most is Moira. But that lifestyle he so craves doesn't mesh well, with being a priest.

It's not the first in the series, so I felt a bit lost at the start. I want to love the book, but Moira made it almost impossible.. Even though a lot of her issues and behaviors were explained by the end, I still didn't like her character and had a hard time reading because of it. Bane on the other side, is deeply layered, troubled, and just the kind of guy, you end up obsessed with. The chemistry between them was off the charts. 

The story is fast-paced and to the point, but I did feel like it could be a lot shorter.
