In Pursuit of Holiness

My Thoughts on In Pursuit of Holiness

First Impressions

Alright, let's dive into "In Pursuit of Holiness." Going in, I knew this was a story that wasn't shy about its intentions. It's tagged as adult, fantasy, romance, and smut, so I expected a healthy dose of steam. The European ambience and the saint/knight dynamic also piqued my interest – a unique combination, to say the least.

What Works Well

This novel really delivers on its promise of, well, spicy scenes. The author doesn't skimp on the details, and the passion between Elizabeth and Hannah is palpable. I found the plot, while not overly complex, served its purpose well. It provided enough context and motivation for the characters' actions, especially Hannah's dedication to becoming a knight just to be near Beth. The Saint and Knight dynamic is compelling, and the author crafts a believable bond between the two protagonists, which makes the romantic payoff that much more satisfying.

Areas of Concern

Honestly, my biggest desire was for a bit more meat on the story's bones. While the plot was sufficient, I felt that a few extra chapters to explore the world, the characters' backgrounds, and the challenges they face could have elevated the narrative. I believe the plot could've been expanded to give more room for character development.

Final Verdict

Overall, "In Pursuit of Holiness" is a quick and enjoyable read, especially if you're looking for a story that prioritizes romance and steamy encounters. The plot is present enough to give context to the characters' actions, but the main draw is undoubtedly the relationship between Elizabeth and Hannah. While I wished for a bit more depth in the world-building and plot, the novel delivers exactly what it promises: a passionate and engaging story with a unique Saint/Knight dynamic. If you're in the mood for a short, smutty fantasy romance, this might just be the book for you.
