Oh, and did I forget to mention that she also happens to be a postulate with the order that runs a shelter and soup kitchen that's housed in the building the company Sean works for is set to acquire-a deal that Sean had closed.

When they see each other again, Sean is shocked to learn that it's Zenobia Iverson, his best friend's sister, fifteen years her junior, and the girl he used to call Zenny-bug.

She's clearly much younger than he is, but he's like a moth to her proverbial flame. When he meets a mesmerizing woman at a function, he's immediately taken by her. He no longer believes in the God he was raised to have faith in, choosing instead to indulge in his favorite vices: sex, women, money, and the finer things in life. Sean Bell makes no apologies for being the man that he is and living the kind of life that he has. Not only have I finally read the former Father Tyler Bell's romance with Poppy Danforth, now Bell, but I too have met Tyler's brother, thirty-six-year-old Sean, who's admittedly every bit the sinner he's been called time and again. But then I heard that Simone was coming out with a new book to add to the series, so I considered a sign of sorts. I've actually had the first two books- Priest and Midnight Mass-for more than two years, but with real life and a heck of a lot of advanced reader copies that I had on my plate, these two, sadly, fell to the wayside. My introduction to Sierra Simone's writing was through her New Camelot series, and it's one that I consider a part of my all-time favorites list, so you can imagine how high expectations are for anything that follows. Confession time: I didn't get to reading the Priest series until I heard Sinner was coming out.
