Thanks to Kensington and Library Thing Early Reviewers for the opportunity to read this book. Carl Weber tells the story of two sisters and two friends. One friend has everything and almost loses it all. The other friend has everything that she could want except for a child of her own. One si...
If you follow any of Carl Weber’s church series you have heard of Deacon James Black, and you would know he is a mess and a half. He is just the same in this book, but it goes deeper into his personal life. He has two children and they too are going through their individual problem. However ju...
I was really liking this book up until the secret admirer of the First Lady was revealed. I thought that it was very far-fetched that her admirer would go to all of that trouble. And when the secrets of all of the other characters were revealed, I was somewhat disappointed. I did enjoy the dialo...
I read this book for a book club. It's the second book by this author that we've read, and only slightly better than the first "The Man in 3B".I'm a little surprised that theses books are available in the public library, as they read like "Letters to Penthouse"! Well past a "smutty" or "R" rating...
I am so crazy in love with these books! Where do I even begin?!?!?! OMG! During the first book, I had my favorite characters and of course I have some more favs but they’ve pretty much switched up this time around. I did like Paris until she had that baby. I was understand she was so much into h...
So…out of all of the “Family Business” novels, this was my least favorite. Don’t get me wrong, I love Paris but this wasn’t too intense like the rest of them were until the very end. Poor Niles!!! I can just literally see Boris Kodjoe being Niles and Beyonce being Paris! ;( So sad but I guess it ...
This story was a roller coaster to me, tia had demons that she was dealing with since she was raped. Aaron turns out to be just what the Bishop needed to change the out come of the church faith. Monique is still being the faithful first lady. but we all know that the dust will be kicked up in The...
Good FriendshipOk I like the fact that these men have been friends for years and still share a major part of their lives with one another! That's real cool because I don't think friendships should end. Kyle is obviously the leader, he gets married first (white girl) and he owns a successful black...
This book is about a church bishop, whose wife (the church's First Lady) has died. Prior to the First Lady's death, she and her friend (the church secretary) wrote a series of letters to be delivered after her death to 4 women of the church whom would be in the running to become the new First La...
The acclaimed national bestselling author of such smart, sexy novels as The Preacher's Son and Player Haters returns with a tale of three best friends who've grown from boys to men together. But now that they're each either married or about to be, they're coming up against some of the real tests...
Wasn't so much baby momma drama as it was spineless daddiesWhenever I pick up one of Carl Weber's books I find myself asking, "where do these people live?"Okay this is by far the funniest, and I liked this one more than I have any of the others. The Johnson sisters, Jasmine and Stephanine, don't ...
I was somewhat shocked when I found that this book was supposed to be for juveniles.After reading this book,I find it extremely hard to believe that this book was meant to be read by a younger audience.While I found it in the Adult Fiction section of the library I felt it was the correct place to...
Living up to your family’s high expectations can be very hard especially when your church family expects more from you tan your original family. In the novel “The Preacher’s Son,” by Carl Weber brother and sister Dante and Donna tried to have a social life but it seemed as if the whole community ...
This book was hilarious. The ending was the funniest of all. It had me hooked from page one. Trent was a womanizer. He could talk the money and underwear off of any woman. Melanie was a true friend who wanted to believe the best about everyone. Will was a loving husband whose wife was holding out...
The five minutes left in the drive over to the house were awkward. The only thing that interrupted the silence was me saying whatever I felt Marie wanted to hear. I said things that would at least make her feel like it wasn’t the end of the world. Things like, “It’s going to be okay. We can adopt...
The same circular headlights were still about a block behind me, and it was making me nervous. It seemed like the car had been following me ever since I pulled away from Monique’s house. Thank God I had Black Beauty in my purse on the seat beside me.My phone rang, and Monique’s name showed up on ...
Nice Guy Bridget 39 There was nothing I hated more than having to justify my position to a bunch of paper-pushing, egotistical bureaucrats twice a year, but there I was, once again explaining myself to a group the company called The Committee. I’d completed the first half of my debriefing unscath...
Voncile wasn’t there yet, and after their last conversation, he wasn’t sure she was coming in at all. He had hoped she would call to let him know either way, but by ten o’clock after his first appointment was done, there was no sign of Voncile. As he leaned back in his chair, Kasen thought about ...
