CLERIC OF DESIRE by Amanda Meuwissen

My review

I truly remarkable tale of understanding identity and embracing it. Jeffrey runs the underground brothel tours of Madame Mattie, where he embraces his feminine size. When not embracing Mattie, he is the complete opposite in a shy nerdy man. One night after the tours, he comes upon an Odai, a dijin/incubus hybrid who changes everything. While Odai helps Jeffrey save Madame Matties, the two grow an unbreakable bond, yet they know it has to end if Odai can not be set free. So Jeffrey seeks the help of the Owner from the Magic Shop to see how to set his lover free. When the High Priestess card is drawn, he must learn to embrace his true self before he is able to set Odai free.

Amanda did an amazing job of tying fantasy into reality where the ties are so seamless that you feel this could be real. As with previous works from Amanda, expect kinks to explore that you may not know you have and enjoy the beautiful ride she lays out for us.

Book overview

Giving tours of the city’s brothel underground while dressed as historical icon, Mad Madame Mattie, is the only time Jeffrey feels close to being in his right skin. It still isn’t his true self—he isn’t sure he knows who that is—but when dwindling sales and expanding gentrification threaten to take his safety net and sanctuary away from him, he will do anything to keep it.

Including making a pact with the incubus he finds chained in the tunnels.

Odai has served many masters and mistresses over the centuries, including Madame Mattie, but never before has one captured his attention so fully or given him hope that maybe, finally, he might have found the one who can free him from his torment. Every wish he grants only grows his desire to grant more and to nourish himself on the desires of the flesh that Jeffrey offers him.

He can only hope that Jeffrey will ask the right questions quickly enough to save himself from the doom that has befallen all masters before him.

Cleric of Desire is a standalone MM romance novel as part of the multi-author collaboration Tales from the Tarot. This book is based on the major arcana card The High Priest(ess).
