Publisher's Summary

As priests, we are meant to obey, but our duties are to our gods—not mere men.

Zeal is back, and he's seen by more people every day. The God of Temptation grows stronger, but High Priest Kinen has found the one thing that can stop a god: disbelief. The return of our gods means an end to his power, and Kinen isn't ready to lose.

Over time, the priests of our temple have surrendered their power in the name of our god. We're trained to obey, to help, and to be Zeal's tools when he cannot help himself. Now, that has become a problem.

Power is given, never taken, and we have surrendered far too much. It's time for things to change, before our complacency destroys our gods. And yet, habits are such hard things to break.

What we need is a rebellion...and I'm going to start it.

Our gods never expected blind obedience, so it's time to give into the temptation to fight back. But will the price for this be more than I can pay? I just can't believe this is what my path was meant for, or is this all just a game between gods and men? Because we, the Priests of Temptation, have been betrayed.

I have prayed.

I have obeyed.

Now I'm doing it my way.

The Path of Temptation series features a strong woman and the men who love her. It is intended for mature listeners due to graphic language, adult situations, and potentially triggering violence including discussions of rape and assault, domestic violence, bullying, harassment, consensual pain and battery, shaming, sexual sadism, minor violence, and more adult themes.

Impactful and excellent!

This ranks in my top 5 favorite series and I read/listen a lot. The writing is beautiful. The characters have exceptionally realistic traits and grow realistically throughout the series. There is real love and believable villains. I honestly could talk about the whole series for hours and would love to teach a class on it. There is so much content. I can't think of anything negative at all.
Now it is very sex positive and has some seriously spicy scenes, but they all happen really naturally and amazingly. There is a focus on women being equal to men. There are m/m, f/f, and m/f relationships. There is a lot of polyamory which is probably my favorite part. No my actual favorite thing is that there are plenty of sex scenes but they move the story forward, they aren't just tossed in and they're all different, they never take away from the world building and the storytelling. I recommend this 100%!
