I was a bit skeptical when I found out that the main character was a Brother (member of the Catholic Clergy) as this is one of my triggers. Once the details in the storyline were established, I had no issues at all with it. I actually loved the story and would read it again! Beautifully and tastefully done! Bravo!.
