The Best of Everything - (Reverend Curtis Black) by Kimberla Lawson Roby (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

"The Best of Everything is one of the best things you'll put on your shopping list this week."

--Tennessee Tribune

Readers who just can't get enough of the Reverend Curtis Black--the charming con man and insufferable womanizer who stars in Sin No More, The Best-Kept Secret, and other acclaimed, bestselling novels by Kimberla Lawson Roby--are going to love his daughter, Alicia. In the New York Times bestseller The Best of Everything, Alicia Black takes center stage while the rascally pastor stands on the sidelines, and Roby triumphs once again. The Best of Everything, is provocative entertainment--a treat for fans of Terry McMillian, E. Lynn Harris, and Eric Jerome Dickey--because when it comes to outrageous behavior, "like father, like daughter" definitely applies.

From the Back Cover

Alicia Black Sullivan swore to never repeat the mistakes of her father, the Reverend Curtis Black: she would never tell lies, she would never break any promises. And most important of all, when she got married, it would be for good.

Alicia really does love her husband, Phillip, the assistant pastor of her father's church. She just happens to love money--and the things it can buy--as well. Alicia was born to the good life, she's entitled to the best, and she'll do anything to get it. Even if it means piling up thousands of dollars in debt. Even if it means denying to everyone--even herself--that her love of shopping has gotten way out of control. Even if, deep down, she knows a whopper of an emotional bill is coming due. And all the regrets in the world won't change the fact that she may be more like her infamous father than she could have imagined--or feared.
