A House Divided by Kimberla Lawson Roby
Curtis and Charlotte Black’s son Matthew, has just had a baby boy with his girlfriend Racquel. Little MJ arrives early because of a blow up at Racquel’s baby shower, between Racquels mother, Vanessa and Charlotte. They are determined to not let the control freak Charlotte, manipulate them or MJ.
Once the baby is home at Vanessa’s home with his mother, Charlotte is feeling slighted and is not happy that she can’t see MJ on her terms. The narcissist that she is devises plans to not only see her grandson on her own terms, but to keep him for good.
Curtis Black keeps having skeletons fall out of closets. This latest one he has no idea where it could be coming from, but from the details in a letter sent to the church, he knows are true and could ruin everything.
The ladder they both have used to reach for what they wanted, is about to go down and they are going down with it.
As always Kimberla has given us another fantastic tale that is so believable that you get the impression she’s telling somebody’s true story.
5 Stars Great Job Kimberla

The Perfect Marriage By Kimberla Lawson Roby
The Perfect Marriage By Kimberla Lawson Roby
Denise and Derrick seem to have it all They were the perfect couple, they have a perfect life, they have the perfect marriage. Nothing is ever what it seems. I pill, a line, the death of a family member and keeping up appearances isn’t perfect, especially when the perfect couple is in denial. They didn’t have a problem, because they where perfect. They weren’t like the others, Derrick was being dramatic and he was blowing everything out of proportion. Denise had everything under control. And they suffered great consequences for their illusions.
This book was OUTSTANDING. So much was packed into this powerful and extremely emotional story. In reading this, I felt like a fly on the wall. This story was so well told, I felt like I was there first hand. And I cried for them.
This has got to be one of the best stories Kimberla Lawson Roby has ever penned.
Perfect 5 Stars

Don’t Tell A Soul By Tiffany L. Warren

Don’t Tell A Soul
Tiffany L. Warren
www.tiffanylwarren.com
When a possible “package” scares Eva into a new direction, she is led to The New Faith Church for food for her body and her soul. She becomes friends with Yvonne who invites her to be a part of the Sister to Sister Group. Her baggage and secrets she won’t tell a soul, but Yvonne’s genuine spirit takes Eva under her wing with open arms and heart. She pulls Eva in and shows her nothing but love no matter what demons follow her.
Yvonne who has had her share of drama, loving her husband and not herself for 20 years, is now happy and comfortable in her own skin. She is the perfect example of forgiveness and love and a “King” wants her as his Queen.
Pam and her husband Troy have had a good life but a songbird named Aria and a dark fast and dangerous, Logan, put their marriage to the test. She’s tired of her life as a writer being put on hold for her husbands failing career. He’s putting everything on her and God so if he fails it’s on her and God.
Taylor has her hands full with her man-child; 11 year old son Joshua, her new hubby Spencer and her deadbeat baby daddy and Yvonne’s shady ex-husband Luke, who is free from jail who is now claiming a new leaf… and now wants a relationship with a son he doesn’t really know.
This sisterhood is what love is, these ladies meet up to soothe their souls and they come humbly to God and each other asking for forgiveness and freedom from foolishness
This is the first book I’ve read from Tiffany L. Warren, it won’t be the last. I really enjoyed her voice, sense of humor and messages.
4 Stars great job Tiffany!

Breaking All My Rules by Trice Hickman
She is
Erica Stanford owner of a very upscale life and bath and body shop named Opulence. She is gorgeous, smart, sexy and jaded from a relationship that wasn’t going to be her happily ever after.
He is
Jerome Kimbrough a handsome and sexy blue collar sanitation worker with dreams. He’s had a tough start in life but is ambitious and focused on what he wants. He’s paid for and still paying for choices he made
They are
on jury duty, and the defendant is not the only one on trial, they are being judged by friends, fauxs and past indiscretions and lives.
Dating a man like Jerome was against all her rules. Dating a woman like Erica was his dream..
Crazy
always steps in at the most inconvenient time. When things and relationships are already fragile and guarded, crazy comes and causes unexpected interruptions, with a twist
This 5 star read was great!
Trice Hickman knows how to build anticipation and how to satisfy readers with challenging characters and provocative storylines.

The 11th Commandment
The 11th Commandment
By Lutishia Lovely
http://www.amazon.com/Eleventh-Commandment-Lutishia-Lovely/dp/0758286627/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1361856767&sr=1-3&keywords=lutishia+lovely
This is #8 of the Hallelujah Love series; let me introduces you to the “Lovely” couples…
Frieda Moore Livingston and Clark Livingston. He thought he could turn a trick into a wife but Frieda got more game than Monopoly and secrets that he never bargained for. She has everything she’s ever dreamed of and “some”.
Hope and Cy (Cyclone) Taylor Have a awesome marriage built on trust and love, but a “Tricky” college sweetheart turns up asks him to do something only the good lord and a trusting wife would allow him to do.
Stacy Grayson Johnson and husband Tony’s marriage was good until an injury sidelined his football career and his life He’s not just having trouble with his knees but a “leg” too. Right before her eyes, the husband changes into someone she doesn’t want to know.
Bo and Darius Crenshaw Bo is the love of Darius’s life and has fought Stacy, other women and men off his superstar husband. But when Paz comes into the picture, shiggity just got real
Some have broken every commandment, every chance they got. and all of these relationships will be tried tested but which will be found true?
I really enjoyed this 8th installment or the Hallelujah Love series. Lutishia has a way of telling a story of faith, love and hope, that always commands my attention. Her characters are real people in a real world in real life and current storylines. Her stories always make you question your heart and make you ask what would I do in this situation? Lovely always prevails!
5 Star read!!!
