SIN OF A WOMAN is the next installment in The Curtis
Black
series. Even though this is a novel in The Curtis
Black
series it is not specifically about Curtis Black. It ties
more to his son Dillon and the circumstances of his
relationships. Raven and Dillon had a very public and
contentious divorce when his mistress, Porsha Harrington,
provided Raven with a video of her sexual affair with Dillon.
It has the drama associated with the series, but I was hoping
for more involvement with Curtis himself. This novel centers
around Dillon's ex-wife Raven who now claims she has been
"called" to the ministry. And now Raven and Porsha will
become partners after Porsha provides her with the financial
backing to start her own church. Can you say "drama?"
Raven has a successful ministry that will soon go to her head
and cause her to want more. Porsha also claims to have been
"called" to the ministry. Both of these women start to revert
to their old ways. Porsha starts to examine her life and sees
that she needs to make a change. Raven, on the other hand,
goes
back to previous actions that lead to some serious
consequences causing detrimental effects on her life
before. You would think she learned her lesson after that.
But instead greed and deception will take her down a dark
road. Raven knows what she wants and will do whatever it
takes to get what she wants and will not allow anyone to stand
in her way. She will mislead and use others and lead them
down this path of destruction along with her.
This is a great story about temptation and the wages of sin.
It's a story about when your conscience prods you and how you
react to that prodding. In SIN OF A WOMAN the lesson learned
is -- "you will reap what you sow".
After her very public divorce from Dillon, Raven Black is
recovering nicely. Dillon has done everything he can to
discredit her, but Raven has learned from her mistakes
and him. In fact, she's intent on using every bit of
Dillon's revenge and betrayal, as she prepares to take
what is hers - and more. Her ambitions have never been so
great, and Raven always knows how to get what she wants.
She also won't allow anything or anyone to get in her
way.
She has become her ex-husband in more ways than one and
is slowly leading those connected to her down a terrible
path of destruction. But playing with the lives of
innocent people has dire consequences - the kind that
Raven won't see coming. Raven, of all people, should know
that what happens in the dark will eventually come to
light...and that there's only so far you can run before
your past catches up to you.
