About this listen
While his sins may be his undoing, her love could prove to be the salvation he desperately needs.
The Priest
Bishop Eduardo Soto has devoted his life to the church to pay for mistakes he made long ago. He didn’t expect a second chance in life, but once he meets Chloe, saving her is all he cares about.
The Dancer
Chloe Thomas dreams of leaving the Bourbon Street stage and owning a respectable business. She’ll do anything to make it happen, including agreeing to a marriage of convenience.
But when she’s offered the opportunity of a lifetime, will she leave her new husband behind after all he’s given up for her?
While Bishop's Desire is part of the Barnes Family Series, it is a stand-alone novel that can be enjoyed without listening to the other audiobooks.

Trust me when I say that Rowan Michaels fever is alive and well at Western University. His fanbase is legendary. The guy is a major player. Both on and off the field. Girls fall all over themselves to be with him. They fill the stands at football practice, show up at parties he’s rumored to be at, and basically stalk him around campus. It’s a little nauseating. Don’t these girls have any self-respect when it comes to a hot guy? Fine...I’ll admit it, he’s good looking. If you’re into that kind of thing. Which I’m not.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 140
Secretly hooking up with the team captain's sister was a bad idea. In my defense, the first time I saw her I didn't know who she was. Kind, gorgeous, a little naïve. Ginny brightened my world from day one. I knew I was no good for her. She was just out of a relationship, and I had a reputation for having a new girl in my bed every weekend. I tried to do the right thing. Honest. I'm the one who insisted we should be just friends. That lasted about as long as you'd expect. But Ginny? She's the best - best friend, best everything.

All Magnus Bane wanted was a vacation - a lavish trip across Europe with Alec Lightwood, the shadowhunter who against all odds is finally his boyfriend. But as soon as the pair settles in Paris, an old friend arrives with news about a demon-worshiping cult called the Crimson Hand that is bent on causing chaos around the world. A cult that was apparently founded by Magnus himself. Years ago. As a joke. Now, Magnus and Alec must race across Europe to track down the Crimson Hand and its elusive new leader before the cult can cause any more damage.

The only thing I need is him. It was the night before my wedding. Maybe I cursed it by visiting my fiancé. I didn't expect him to cheat on me with my best friend. That night I ended up going to the strip club. The same one I went for my bachelorette party. That guy told me to come back if it didn't work out. I laughed at the thought. Well, it came true, because it didn't. What was I to do next?

Taboo romance. 1POV. HEA. Standalone.
This is s “sizzling” romance novel with a stripper/preacher relationship. The narration is great. This can be read as a standalone novel but it is included in a series.
😐 I gave this book only 4/5 stars bc I feel like there was a missed opportunity with the taboo aspect. Not enough instances when it comes to exploration of the “wrongness” of the relationship. Also, the male character seems to say I Love You with no inner dialogue and seems out of the blue.

Faith and maintaining one's values are work.
So many think to judge others choice's. When keeping their own priorities should be the priority. Cool story well narrated. Very easy listening. Steamy moments just a bit on forbidden side.🤭

A different, intriguing sexy story. The bishop and the stripper. Add the Barnes bunch and it’s more than you can ask for. Eduardo is a sexy pastor. Hot forbidden love story.

An eclectic mix of characters ~
Audiobooks give me an added ability to enjoy more books when I don't have time to actually sit down and read.
Bishop's Desire was interesting in so many levels. Although we have the steamy story that I love it's so much deeper. Chloe starts off a bit wild with reason, then turns a little less likable to me. But in the end she redeems herself. Bishop has it all. Sexy, smart with wisdom that pulls the strings of my heart. He inherits an eclectic mix of family which just enhances this story. I'll admit this is the first book in the series I've read but it won't be the last. The author offers so much in just this one book, I don't think I could resist learning more about the Barnes family and what comes next.
Note; I have to add the narration was on spot. Sometimes the voice doesn't match my expectations, but I am extremely happy with the choices made here.

Hot
This was not the story I was expecting, it was way better. I always wonder how a pastor lived in N.O. and never got temped. The narration on this book was awesome. I loved the story and the back and forth between the characters.
Now, I have to grab the others in this collection to see how everyone else faired!

Taboo and dirty
Sooo… BISHOP’S DESIRE is a bit over the top, and definitely unbelievable at times. But, hell, have you read that blurb? What did you expect from a story of a priest falling for a dancer? I went in ready to enjoy some forbidden sexy smuttiness – and enjoyed the hell out of it, as I knew I would, because this is not the first book by Normandie Alleman that I’ve read, or, in this case, listened to.
Eduardo hasn’t had it easy in life. His mother passed early and with being raised by a priest and his wife – in addition to a few poor life choices –, his choice to devote his own life to the church as well just feels natural. That is, until he meets Chloe at a strip club. And slowly, his priorities start to shift…
Chloe, however, has her own problems to solve, her own demons to fight. A relationship is the last thing she wants right now. But when life throws her another curveball, she might just not have another choice than to agree to that shocking proposal “Bishop” throws in her direction…
This one is the third in a series, it can, however, completely be read as a standalone. It’s full of smut, little twists and turns, and, yes, again, the one or other unbelievable act or reasoning. If you’re looking for a deadly serious, factually accurate story from start to finish, look elsewhere. If you enjoy your smut taboo-ish and slightly crazy, this is the one for you.
I totally recommend the audio version, Aiden Snow (my first listen by him) and Alicyn Aimes (loved her from previous audio books by Normandie Alleman!) do a terrific job adding additional layers to the characters and make the story even more enjoyable.

Great addition to the series
Bishop's Desire is the first book in this series I have had the pleasure to listen to. I really enjoyed both narrators, Aiden Snow and Alicyn Aimes, added an extra layer to the story which is always appreciated. Bishop Eduardo Soto and Exotic Dancer Chloe Thomas make an unusual couple for anyone looking from the outside in but these two have a lot more in common that one would have guessed.
After reading the first two books in the series I was wondering how Eduardo and Chloe's story would ties into the Barnes family series especially since neither of them hold the surname of Barnes but it is explained pretty quickly, and NO I am not going to tell you - you'll just have to grab your own copy and find out for yourself, I was pretty shocked by the revelation but really it shouldn't have been that surprising.
I loved Eduardo and Chloe together, their story was not smooth sailing but we do get an HEA along with what I hope is a glimpse into the next book..Leo's story (fingers crossed). If you have read any of Normandie Alleman's books before you know they are HOT and this one is no different, HOT and STEAMY is the way to go for the Bishop and exotic dancer. This is a quick read, or listen, and can be done in just an afternoon. This book can be read as a standalone but I recommend the series so why not read them in order that way you can follow each of the Barnes Family members as they find their HEAs. Happy Reading!!!
