Charismatic Curtis Black is the worst sort of scoundrel, but that doesn’t keep the women in his life from loving and trusting him. In this second installment, it appears that at first, Curtis is managing to juggle all his women, but a leopard can’t change its spots and Curtis can’t control his urges. The author does a great job in portraying and developing the characters, making Curtis as despicable as possible. Yet, the end may surprise readers. And while you may really, really dislike Curtis, you will likely want to read the next book to see what happens in the lives of these characters.
This was my second read to complete the Reverend Curtis Black Series. This man was so corrupt in every sense. I wanted to scream at all the women who came near him. Although I was irritated with the characters in this novel, the story is well written by Kimberla Lawson Roby.
Well, on to the 3rd book in the series "The Best Kept Secret".
