Firstly I love both of the authors and I have read numerous of their individual work, but I did not thoroughly enjoy this book. It was just a little to much back and forth, under handed childish games from both Rachel and Jasmine that cause me to lose interest in the book early on. Being on that never likes to leave a book, unfinished I completed the book and I will admit coming down to the last few chapters of the book it got a little better. Jasmine Larson Bush and Rachel Jackson Adams play to win. So when their husbands are both nominated for the presidency of the American Baptist Coalition, they'll stop at nothing to see them win. And though they're supposed to be women of God, there's nothing godly about their scheming and plotting. Sinners and Saints could have been aptly named "Christians Behaving Badly." While the two ladies battle it out at convention, their husbands are oblivious to what's going on until it becomes all too obvious. That leads each man to question how badly he wants the position. If it's meant to be, it'll be, right? Not if Jasmine and Rachel have anything to do with it. And what happens if there's someone that wants the position more badly than Rachel or Jasmine? Having personally served on a regional level of a national organization and on the national nominating committee for that same organization, I can honestly say that Murray and Billingsley are definitely on point when it comes to the things people will do to make sure they, or the person they're supporting, wins. A convention has never been so exciting!It's rare that two people can co-author a book so seamlessly, especially when they're bringing characters that they've each created independently together in one storyline. With alternating chapters, each author takes a turn presenting Jasmine's and Rachel's side of the story. I can honestly say I was team Jasmine, but only because I've read about the character previously in Sins of the Mother. Rachel gives almost as good as Jasmine, but not quite. I'd say that's only because Jasmine is older and has more years of experience at being conniving and cunning. I'm sure Rachel will be around giving others hell for years to come.
