Gurl….!!

That Reverend Curtis Black! I loved everything about this book. The characters, the NARRATOR (loved the inflections in her entertaining voice!), the story line. I found myself cracking up one minute and getting mad like these are real people! I plan to listen to each and every audiobook in this series. I’d love for Curtis to stop his mess but…then, there would not be these juicy novels!

Fun!

I enjoyed this so much more than I thought I would! I couldn't stop listening, and now I'm hooked on the series!

Loved this book

I totally loved this audiobook. Storyline was compelling and excellent. Kimberla Lawson Roby is now my favorite writer. I am buying all her audiobooks. There are so many lessons to be learned from her stories.

Definitely worth the read

I’m late starting this series but I’m excited. I really enjoyed this book loved it even better that I didn’t have to stop reading it because I had to drive. Curtis Black is a mess and a half like how can a person be like this!! People really don’t care for other peoples feelings. I’m excited to read the next 14 books in this series. There’s no way that there’s a 15 book series and it not be good.
