"This was the first book that I ever read by Kimberla Lawson Roby and since then she has me hooked! I have read all the books around Curtis' character and have been thoroughly entertained. The only book that I haven't read YET is "The Best Thing Ever" which is supposed to be about his daughter.... I've got to get it!"

" This was the first book that I had read by Kimberla Lawson Roby and I have to say that this was a good book. Curtis the preacher is one funny dude. He was wrong for what he did to his wife, but she got him back when she did what she did to him. Excellent read. "

" A story about a really crazy and horny pastor and how he loses it all, as told by his wife. "
— Stasha, 12/14/2012 -
" This is a "chick fic". With that being said, it is still a bad representation of "the" church. If I were not solid in my walk with God, I'd NEVER go to church. If you want the lying, adultery, & all of the sinful attachments that can't be seperated, this is the "fiction" for you "
