Sin of a Woman by Kimberla Lawson Roby     448 pages

Raven Black worked for a preacher, married his son who was also a preacher, she embezzled funds from the church, did time in prison and now has her own church and congregation of thousands with more tuning into her weekly video chats and podcasts.  She is now pulling in ridiculous sums of money and perks, but, still its not enough.   She is recovering from her gambling addiction, but now she is gambling with her future and that of several of the people closest to her.   When she all but names a certain prominent member of the clergy for raping her all hell breaks loose!    Good book, good story with greatly written characters.  This turns out to be book 14 in the 15 book Reverend Curtis  Black Series but the story stands alone in its own right.   Well written, it captures jealousy, rage and greed so well.   Well done, Kimberla Lawson Roby!   Given the sexual nature of this story,  I recommend it to adults.
