Publisher's summary

Kimberla Lawson Roby's fans can't get enough of the Reverend Curtis Black - that self-justifying, greedy, womanizing flimflam man who is one of the biggest rascals ever to step into a church.

In this outing, Curtis is starting over. He has a new job and a new wife, and of course he's convinced himself that this time he'll be good. But Curtis hasn't ever made a promise he could keep, and before long, he's up to his old tricks. The difference now is his third wife. She's unlike any woman Curtis has met before. And for the first time in his life, Curtis just might have met his match. Watch the sparks fly!

Contains mature themes.

great read

This book actually allowed the reader to show compassion for Rev Curtis Black. Also, displays karma, love and events that have the power to change a person's heart positive or negative.

Starlit

When the woman is cheating it looks like she is wrong, but when a man continues to do it, it's okay.

My how the tides have turned

This was a good book. I like this author. She does a great job with just enough to keep you interested and not too much trash. I can't believe how the father-n-law snapped on his wife.

 you can’t do wrong and get by with it  Curtis got more of what he dashed out.

I like the fact that they kept the family together for the children sake, I hate that Curtis kept having affairs would only hurt him in the long run and their families
