By the end of the sixth century, even this is eroding as the church begins to eject women from the clergy and declares them too unclean to touch sacramental objects or even their priest-husbands.Ĭraving the legitimacy thwarted by her bastard status, Clotild seeks to become the next abbess of the female Monastery of the Holy Cross, the most famous of the women’s cloisters of the early Middle Ages. Only the latter offers them any kind of independence. He really wanted her to feel the same way he did from the beginning even though all they did was have a lot steamy hot encounters together before Anna finally realized how she really felt for Drew after he broke up their regular trysts they were having.Īfter reading this entertaining but somewhat heart wrenching romance story, I thought it was pretty good.Marj Charlier’s The Rebel Nun is based on the true story of Clotild, the daughter of a sixth-century king and his concubine, who leads a rebellion of nuns against the rising misogyny and patriarchy of the medieval church.Īt that time, women are afforded few choices in life: prostitution, motherhood, or the cloister. At first, when they first meet, I thought maybe their sexual tension between them would maybe stretch a little longer before they actually had their first intense hook up at a campus restroom? But wow, a record of getting it on twice in a week, that was unexpected but kinda hot?!? As their regular hook ups progressed into something more, well for Drew any way because he was trying so hard to win and gain Anna’s trust throughout the book.

I got to say, I really enjoyed this really sexually intense but heart-string romance between hot shot college quarterback, Drew and fiesty but maybe emotionally insecure Anna. It's a good thing Drew knows all about winning. Now it’s up to Drew to tempt her with more: more sex, more satisfaction, more time with him. Unfortunately, Anna wants it to remain a hook up. That is until a chance encounter leads to the hottest sex of their lives, along with the possibility of something great. But there’s one problem: she's shut him down. Her cutting humor and blatant disregard for his fame turns him on like nothing else. But what he really craves is sexy yet prickly Anna Jones.

It’s given him recognition, two National Championships, and the Heisman. Too bad he’s committed to making her break every rule…įootball has been good to Drew. If only she could ignore his heated stares and stop thinking about doing hot and dirty things with him. Confident and charming, he lives in the limelight and is way too gorgeous for his own good. Falling for star quarterback Drew Baylor is certainly not on her to do list. The rules: no kissing on the mouth, no staying the night, no telling anyone, and above all… No falling in loveĪnna Jones just wants to finish college and figure out her life.
