Publisher's summary

The Reverend Curtis Black faces shocking new revelations about his wife in the ninth installment of the award-winning series from New York Times bestselling author Kimberla Lawson Roby.

It's been months since Reverend Curtis learned that his wife Charlotte had affairs with two different men, and for now, he continues to be cordial and respectful to her. But he's also made it clear that once their son Matthew graduates high school, he will be filing for divorce.

Charlotte, on the other hand, continues to do everything possible to make amends in hopes of saving their marriage. Unfortunately, Curtis is ready to move on and is being propositioned by a woman who desperately wants to become the next Mrs. Curtis Black. When the situation heads down a path that is frighteningly shocking, could it be the final blow to this once blessed union?

Another Good one from Kimberla Lawson Roby!!!

Would you listen to The Reverend's Wife again? Why?

I would not listen to this title again, but I would recommend it to another.

Any additional comments?

Though I was wishing for another ending to the Curtis Black series, I am still happy with the ending and that this family was able to get on the right track!!!

Well, we’ll...

Kimberla knocks another out the park. Every single immediate member of the black family needs their head checked. This is the most lovable dysfunctional fictional family you can’t help but feel sorry for them. They all need help!!!

Very Disappointed

The story line is flat. I like most of the books in this series but this one failed. The main characters, Charlotte & Curtis were big disappointments, and the character development was weak. I gave 2 stars only because I like the series, otherwise it would've been one.

More of the Same

Would you try another book from Kimberla Lawson Roby and/or Maria Howell?

I love Kimberla Lawson Roby but the Curtis Black stories contain so much of the same drama that it is played out. New charactors and plots are needed. At the end of the book I notice his son has gotten the girlfriend pregnant so the drama continues.

Has The Reverend's Wife turned you off from other books in this genre?

No

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

It was okay, but the narractor often sound like they had dry mouth.

Could you see The Reverend's Wife being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No.
