Summary: Mo Betta - Mo Betta - Mo Betta!!!!
Review: Girls - listen this book is totally worth ALL THE DIMES that you have to spend to get it.

Now you have to read Casting the First Stone before reading this one to get the true "madness" of all of this church mess.

I read the book in a day and a half....couldn't put it down. I am not one to give you the details of the book...I just want to let you know Curtis is a MAD FOOL! hahahahaha

No - he hasn't learned a thing...and the self-righteousness of this man is unreal. I don't know who Kimberly had to talk to or where she had to go for her research but .... there is no way she doesn't know of a Curtis Black somewhere is real life. LOL

Like another reader said...this book doesn't disappoint in the least....it just gets mo betta! This is a good one...but then again...with Kimberly's talent for writing I didn't expect anything less...

Girl - you are simply BRILLIANT!!!

I got a feeling we might just see this man again...............

Summary: Preach On
Review: I THINK KIMBERLA LAWSON ROBY HAS OUT DONE HERSELF THIS TIME. THE BOOK WAS EXCELLENT. JUST WHEN YOU WOULD THINK THAT CURTIS BLACK WAS FINISHED FOR GOOD HE COMES UP WITH ANOTHER PLAN OR SCAM....THE BOOK IS OFF THE CHAIN AND YOU HAVE TO READ CASTING THE FIRST STONE TO GET THE FULL EFFECT OF THIS BOOK.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hot ! Hot! Hot!
Review: Curtis Black is back! After reading Casting The First Stone - I did not think anyone could be so bad - but he is even worse than before! Kimberla - you did it again! This man is despicable and has a way of justifying every one of his sinful actions. He is so bold - has enough nerve to go back and play on the same sisters - Is he bad or what! Unfortunately - he has not learned his lesson yet!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sizzling Hott & Scandulous
Review: Kudos to you - Ms. Roby
I have read ALL of your publications and they just seem to get better and better. I love the richness of the characters - I can almost close my eyes and see them. In a word - Awesome...
So phoine adulterous Curtis Black is back, huh? Who "thunk it..."
I would have thought he would have learned his lesson - 5 years ago. Adrienne what are you thinking...? Love struck - hun? This thing is obviously too much for you!

What I am finding most impressive is the author's perception on the church and the powerful leaders that rule them. Casting the first Stone and now this book really will make someone say "hmmmm" about the Pastors in some of these churches. The details shared with the readers are so real and vivid - just seems to true to be fiction.
I will continue to support and purchase these novels - I chew them up and spit them out in a matter of a day or two. A great escape from the mundane ness of life.

Keep up the good work - my beret off to you!

Summary: REVEREND BLACK IS BACK!!
Review: Yes, in this sizzling sequel to her bestselling novel "Casting The First Stone," the Reverend Curtis Black is back....with a vengance! Set five years after the ending of the first novel, Curtis Black has once again been appointed pastor (believe it or not,) of Faith Missionary Baptist Church. Newly married, Curtis vows to do it better the second time around. With new wife Mariah, a new church and a handsome six-figure salary, it does appear as though the reverend has made a comeback. However, it's not long before Curtis gets restless...soon he seeks out his old lover Adrienne Jackson, and the affair is on again. He once again promises to leave his current wife to marry Adrienne, and together they vow to begin divorce proceedings against their respective spouses within six months. Then Adrienne becomes too demanding, and Curtis takes a chance on contacting Charlotte--the underage teenager from his old church with whom he had not only an affair but an illegitimate child--and promises her also that he will leave his wife and marry her. But the world once again begins to cave in when Adrienne becomes suspicious, tragedy strikes his daughter Alicia, and wife Mariah becomes aware of his illicit activities.

It's not long before history seems to repeat itself--there's a letter to the deacons, a videotape, and an ending that the reader won't even begin to guess is coming.........

Enjoyable to the very last page, Curtis Black remains the unbelievable reverend that we'll all need to pray for! Don't be surprised to see Reverend Black gracing the pages of a future work of Ms. Roby's......

Summary: Too Much Is Not Enough
Review: Very seldom are sequels up to the same level as the first one and I usually try and keep in mind that the story may go into a new direction. Sequels are stories that are somewhat new or new to the reader because it is the telling of events unknown heretofore. Considering all that, this book still didn't work.

The story was painfully formulaic, predictable, and lacked realism. The characters had no depth, and the dialogue was torturous. One star is too much to give this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Off the Chain - better than the first book!
Review: Kimberla did a wonderful job with this one. It didn't remind you of a church story. It seemed like it was a book from Carl Weber or Zane it had so many twists and turns. That Pastor Black was off the chain!!!! Pastor Black still has not learned from messing up his first marriage. He is still a greedy ladies man. His daughter is older and resents him and he has alot of drama with her. It is just a trip. Please read it. I don't want to give the story away.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: One Word: REPROBATE!
Review: I just finished TMOAGT and I must say that these people are absolutely nuts. Curtis may have thought that Adrienne was crazy, but I actually thought that Adrienne had more sense than any of the other characters outside of Vivian. And then Tanya wasn't an idiot either but as my mother says, "bought sense is the best sense in the world." I'm glad Curtis got what was coming to him because I think he was on the verge of being crazy himself. Either Curtis Black is extremely magnetic towards weak women or he is just lucky. And the fact that he had so many "minister" friends just like him was appalling. NOBODY in this novel really knew the Lord or they would have been convicted, or hip to some of Curtis' nonsense.

BUT I enjoyed the story and it was pretty good overall. Perhaps a taaaaaaaaad bit predictable but I kept on reading because I like Mrs. Roby's writing style.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hell on flamin' wheels
Review: I thought "Casting The First Stone" was jaw dropping but this one takes the cake. "Too Much of a Good Thing" picks up just where it's former left off. I didn't think I could be even more outraged with the blatant deception and down right immoral ways of the main character. To be honest, I couldn't put the book down. I read it practically from start to finish. This book is hot!!!!
