SSR Book Review

Monique Burt , period 1


For this semesters SSR book I read Be Careful What You Pray For Her by Kimberla Lawson Roby. I’m not really a big fan of reading, but after finishing this book I’ve kind of took an interest to the hobby. This book is about a woman named Alicia her first marriage didn't work out, but that isn't going to stop her, the privileged daughter of the charismatic Reverend Curtis Black, from getting what she wants. One month after her wedding to her second husband, she can't believe her good fortune. God has heeded her prayers, blessing her with Pastor JT Valentine, a handsome, dynamic man of the cloth with his own large congregation, just like her father.
Unfortunately, what Alicia doesn't understand is just how much like Curtis her new husband truly is.(in the first book her father had issues with infidelity). She also doesn't know that JT has been sneaking around town with other women, or that he only married her to get close to her father's money and fame. But while she is blinded by love, her dad certainly isn't. He warned her that JT simply can't be trusted.
It took a miracle to save the day. But God acts in mysterious ways, and soon a host of lies, longtime secrets, and acts of betrayal comes to light, and Alicia was faced with some crucial and life-changing decisions. This time, she's had to be careful what she prayed for.
This book might not be for everybody, but I recommend this book for all the ladies who like a romance, humor, drama book all wrapped into one. It’s a really good story, & I hope you enjoy it (:
