AUTHOR: Autumn Grey

PUBLICATION: September 24th, 2018

There are angels and demons at war inside my head.

I had it all figured out: finish high school, attend seminary and finally answer my calling of becoming a priest. What I hadn’t counted in the equation was her.

Grace Miller.

The girl who was always out of my reach. The girl who still makes me lose my breath with just a look.

Little did I know she would become my temptation and vice, and quite possibly, my ruin.

Now I’m standing at a crossroads, and my head is a battlefield. How do I choose sides when it means losing a part of who I am?

DESOLATE
Is the first romance novel in the (Grace #1) trilogy by Autumn Grey. In this we meet Solomon and Grace.

Where God appeases me, makes my soul lighter, Grace is like an electric shock jump-starting my dormant body.

First off the feels hit me straight away, I’m a sucker for novels that go from ‘Past to Present’ always have been, always will be.

Solomon first noticed Grace when he was ten years old, orphaned due to a tragic accident, taken in by his uncle who was a pastor of the local church, Sol knew that this vocation was also his calling, but Grace sparked something up within him, furtive glances were stolen year by year, never having the courage to talk to her, approach her. Too shy to get the words out, her beauty astounded him, her soul called to his soul, forbidden fruit never to be tasted.

Forgive me father.
For I have sinned
Again..
And again..
And again..
God these two put me through the wringer, my heart went out to them, I could empathise with their situation, their story brought me to my knees, my heart was in turmoil, pulled in all directions, a taboo kind of love, a boy that could lose so much but could gain the love of his soulmate, he was pulled in two directions, my heart was gutted..

I'm not sure whether I love her or hate her. I don't know if it's myself I should hate for allowing her to occupy my mind, or if I should thank God for giving me the ability to love her.

Sol had my heart in the palm of his hands as soon as I started reading his story..He had me swooning like no other, his gentleness had me lapping up the pages, I couldn't get enough of him.
BUT he also had me questioning his morals, temptation should not have gotten it's hooks into him and Grace should've known her worth, BUT I still connected with their dilemma, the angst, the feels, the injustice of it all had me devouring this.

This author fast became one of my favs with two of her books last year so I knew that I wanted to get my grabby little hands on this goody, forbidden stories always get me jumping up and down, Completely wanting, needing, craving the next book in this series. I need to know where their journey takes them..
