Your stories are an eye opener! I can’t put your books down. Thanks so much for your amazing stories. I’ve not been able to read anyone else’s books! Carolyn Denise Rooks Your #1 Fan

I enjoy reading about them McCoy boys. This book is full of drama. I was enlightened about postpartum psychosis. My heart goes out to ladies who have to experience this. This story is well written and keeps you wanting more. The Book Diva

Didn't see any of this coming! No spoilers, but to date, I think this is the best in the series, but I may have to reserve judgement on that because there will be more shenanigans coming. Love Shelia Bell and Dem Folks at Holy Rock! Avid Reader

This series should be turned into a TV series. The McCoys and Graham families are something else. Can’t wait to read next book to see how the characters end up. Ms. A.

This author did not fail to disappoint. The drama continues! Jump right in! Highly recommended! DannieLoves2Shop

Oh, my goodness! I was totally drawn into this book from beginning to end! My how we reap what we sow. I can't say enough about this series! Each book left me wanting more! Shelia Bell is truly a gifted & talented author. Monica Tatum

Be ruthless for your own well-being. H. Butcher

I’m overcome with happiness. God is so good. You’re so good, Hezekiah cried, lifting and twirling Rianna around in Apartment 3D while his young son played with his Star Wars Legos in the corner.

How did you do it? Tell me how you pulled this off?

I told you. I love you, Hezekiah. I’d do anything to prove it. Don’t you see that now, baby?

Hezekiah sat on the couch, rubbing his hand back and forth across his balding head.

My baby boy, my son, Jude, is going to live with me. I...I can’t believe it. I’ve got to get the house ready. Baby, I hope you know that I have no choice now, I have to move into Lion’s Gate. I know how you feel about it, but it’s the best place for Jude. This seems like a dream. I can’t believe it’s real.

I know, she said, and kissed him fully on the lips. She dismissed the continued lie Hezekiah told. He knew darn well he was already living in Lion’s Gate, if only he knew that she knew. She remained silent about it now that she’d gotten Hezekiah’s son from under his mother and pedophile stepfather’s roof. And sooner rather than later, she believed she would be moving into the house behind the gate as well!

Don’t worry, Rianna assured Hezekiah. It’s not a dream. It’s for real. She looked over at the little boy, He’s living with you now. I mean, what else can his mother do? Like her lawyer advised, it’s in her best interest and her son’s best interest to let things cool off until she can find out what they’re going to do about her pedophile husband."

Yeah, I...I just can’t thank you enough. I owe you, Hezekiah cried, grabbing Rianna’s face and kissing her deeply and passionately. What can I do to ever repay you?

Rianna smiled. Let me count the ways....
