I really liked that the author finally fleshed out a story on another member of Curtis Black's family. I was getting tired of Curtis doing the same things over and over and OVER AGAIN. I liked that she showed how Alicia was affected by all the bad choices that her father had made and how she wa...
the beginning Charlotte was making me mad about Curtina, and the whole thing of how she was treating her and Curtis for that matter. I still couldn't see how a "mother" would treat a innocent child like that, even though I see and kinda felt how she was feeling,.... However im glad she warmed up ...
Reverend Curtis Black returns, again. Hopefully this is the end of this series. I believe that every aspect of this minister's deceiptful life has been adddressed, and every family member has been acknowledged. This time Curtis makes a decision to leave his wife after Matthew graduates High Schoo...
the girl is 12 and speaks like a 6 year-old... or like an adult depending on the moment hard to like the book after that. It is totally unrealistic because of the immaturity of the kid when her step father is concerned. For other things, she speaks like an 18 year old. Her BFF is thinking of havi...
Oh My God!!! Kimberla Lawson Roby, WOW! What a story. First off the main character, Paige, was truly disturbed. Her plight of living in her sister's shadow her entire childhood had finally pushed her to far over the edge. I don't want to give away the story but I will say this. The lengths th...
And the drama and scandal continues!!! This was a good read and I like that the story line was different from the other books in this series. I do feel like Charlotte went way too far this time and I wonder what the future holds for the Black family in the next book, The Prodigal Son. I am glad t...
The main thing I liked aboout this book was that it was a quick read: I was just coming off reading a very large book. This book was an easy read: it only took me aboout two hours to read it. However, I felt like there were a lot of holes in this book and very little character development. If ...
I liked this book better than "Be careful what you pray for" but I still have problems with Kimberla's slow progression towards the climax and her quick wrap-up of the ending. It took her more than three-quarters of the book to come to the climax and then once she got there the details were lacki...
Once again Ms Lawson Roby did not let me down!! I love her for she really brings out the truth in being a black woman!! If you're looking for a turn pager, hard to put down, lose your beauty sleep , than I highly recommend this book. You will not be disappointed!!
A Taste Of Reality was a good book I will give it 4 stars only because the book could have been better with the plot. This is the first interracial book by the author. SPOILER ALERT AHEADFirst thing first I like how it was centered on the race and gender prejudices in the workforce, because even ...
A man who once thrived on wickedness and counted on forgiveness, Curtis Black has changed his ways. Back in the heart of his congregation and his family, he will no longer stray from the beaten path. Or so he's promised his long-suffering wife, Charlotte. But the sins of the past have strange wa...
She would be meeting with Lynette Reynolds, New Faith’s CFO, later this afternoon, but she was glad to see that things were looking pretty good. Actually, they were looking exceptional, as the current numbers were much better than what Lynette had projected at the end of last year. The church and...
Minutes later, her phone rang. She smiled when she saw it was Michelle. Beautiful, wise, and always kind to everyone, Michelle was by far the best friend Denise had ever had. “Hey girl, I was just thinking about you earlier,” Denise said. “We haven’...
It was already noon, and Phillip was calling from the church. “Hey,” she said. “Hey, you. Were you sleeping?” “No, just tired, so I decided to lie down for a while.” “Nothing wrong with that. I’m sure ...
I’d played hooky from work yesterday, but still dreaded going inside Reed Meyers the way a convict dreaded the death penalty. I dragged myself up the sidewalk, swiped my ID card through the reader, and entered the brick building. The department seemed rather quiet for a Thursday morning, but that...
His own wife, the woman he’d loved and given up everything for, had nearly killed him. It just didn’t make sense, and though Matthew did believe she was ill and that maybe she couldn’t help herself, it was hard for him to find sympathy for someone who was so violent. As it was, she’d slapped him ...
“Mom, Mom, Mom!” It was still early, but Celine sat up in her bed, wondering what all the commotion was about. “Honey, what is it?” “I just called Daddy, and he told me the great news! He says he wants to come back home, and that he already talked t...
