    About this audiobook

    From New York Times bestselling author Kimberla Lawson Roby comes the ninth installment in her award-winning Reverend Curtis Black series. 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?

      If nothing else, this was an entertaining page turner. Everything I read in this novel, drama, twist and turns, I've read numerous times in other books, nothing original. It was nice to revisit the Black's in all their continuous drama. The message in the book was awesome, forgiving, forgetting the past and living in the present, especially in marriage. Although, I do see the potential to start new drama with their son Matthew, I would hope this series is at an end.

      I'd like to thank Netgalley and Grand Central Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this book.

      I've always heard of the high rate of divorce. However, seeing behind the doors of a bad marriage is really shocking.Charlotte and Reverend Curtis Black's marriage is so awful it would take too long to describe here. I do have to mention Charlotte's part in this stale marriage. Charlotte lives to tell about two extramarital affairs. I say lives to tell because my husband wouldn't allow me to live so long. I always hear of women having one affair but two affairs? That fact really shocked me. Of course, Reverend Black isn't perfect. He has a child from a different relationship, Curtina. For a long time Charlotte had trouble bonding with little Curtina. This made me think about how much and why children suffer over the mistakes grown-ups make when they're in love and out of love.The novel, The Reverend's Wife by KIMBERLA LAWSON ROBY, is a very serious Christian novel. There is so much about marriage and relationships with our children and friend relationships in the novel. For example, can a friendship between a man and woman ever remain just a friendship without the man or woman becoming unglued and wanting to share more intimacy? I would love to know a statistic. How many of these types of relationships turn ugly? All of the characters Charlotte, Rev. Black, Matthew and Curtina seem very real. Sharon also is very three dimensional. I just hope no Sharon ever enters my life. It's frightening to think that even while attending church some women and/or men can become lost in their imaginary world. It's also frightening to think that it's possible to not hear the truth when it's spoken to us. Once words leave a person's mouth we tend to interpret them any way desired. This is very troublesome. Kimberla Lawson Roby really knows how to write a realistic novel. I am so looking forward to reading more of her books. kimroby

      A little too unbelievable!! So much drama! All of the back and forth.
    • 1/5
      I read this book, although I wanted to quit about half-way through. It was such a downer. The husband and wife were both guilty of indiscretions. It really made me sick to read about their lives. I don't have much good to say about this book. Each of the characters has so many flaws and problems that I really did not want to finish the story about them. I guess, generously, i could say that even though their lives were full of deceit and lies that they tried to forgive and forget. Not so easy for me to do however. I would not buy this book.
