Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Hilarious, raunchy soul sistahs Annette Davis and Rhoda O'Toole return in this latest wacky adventure in Monroe's God series (God Don't Play, etc.). This time, Rhoda persuades her 46-year-old BFF to have an affair since Pee Wee, Annette's husband, hasn't touched his newly svelte wife in a year. Pee Wee has cancer, but doesn't tell his wife until he's cured so she's ripe for the picking. Rhoda sees nothing wrong with discreet adultery: she's been having an affair for years with her husband Otis's best friend, Bully Bullard. Sexy caterer Louis Baines, who's 30, woos Annette with all the right moves, and Annette finds him irresistible until it turns out he's after her money. Another extreme annoyance is Rhoda's 19-year-old Naomi Campbell look-alike daughter, Jade, who wreaked havoc in Annette's life by trying to steal Pee Wee and has come home with a Mexican hottie who chickens out on marrying her. Monroe's never better than when she's writing about Annette and Rhoda, an outrageous Lucy & Ethel–style African-American comedy duo who are always getting in trouble. (Sept.)

Product Description

In this gripping, unforgettable new novel by New York Times bestselling author Mary Monroe, forever friends Annette Goode Davis and Rhoda O'Toole are about to learn that even the rockiest relationships can survive just about anything-as long as you're there for each other when it matters most. . .

Annette Goode Davis is a survivor, and while life's obstacles have often knocked her down, she's never let them keep her there for long. To Annette, life is all about family and old friends like Rhoda O'Toole. And right now, Annette needs all the friends she can get. . .because her marriage is in big trouble, and she has no idea why. . .

Lately, her husband Pee Wee barely has the time of day for Annette and she suspects he may have fallen for another woman. Desperate to regain his affections, Annette goes on a crash diet, gets a total makeover, and looks hotter than she has for a long, long time. Everyone notices-everyone except Pee Wee.

Annette is ripe for the picking when she meets Louis Baines, a handsome young caterer who showers her with attention. Soon, Annette is embroiled in a full blown affair and spending money on Louis like there's no tomorrow. But when Annette learns a terrible secret about her new lover, she realizes she's in way over her head. Her life crumbling down around her, Annette turns to the only person she knows she can trust: Rhoda.

With Rhoda by her side, Annette's determined to find a way out of this mess. But when the truth finally comes out, Annette must face the fact that she may have destroyed the life she loved-and this time, not even Rhoda can help her make things right...

5.0 out of 5 stars God Is Watching You, August 31, 2009
By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews
Annette Davis hasn't felt love from her husband, Pee Wee, in a long time. To ignite the fire back into their bedroom, she transforms into a new woman by losing weight, getting a total makeover, and buying an extensive wardrobe, but Pee Wee doesn't seem to notice. Annette discovers he is spending his time elsewhere and comes to the conclusion he is having an affair.

Louis Baines moves to Richland, Ohio to aid his sickly uncle and work in his restaurant. After his uncle's death, he inherits the restaurant and strives to make it a successful catering business. When Annette meets the handsome young caterer, he yearns for her, and the love affair commences. Overwhelmed from all the attention and pleasure she's receiving from Louis, Annette swirls out of control, jeopardizing her marriage and job. But when she discovers her young lover has an ulterior motive, she's already in too deep and turns to her best friend, Rhoda O'Toole for support. Annette is determined to resolve the mess she has created, but when the truth is revealed, it may be too late for her marriage and her career.

GOD AIN'T BLIND is a gripping novel of trust, love and communication. The characters are the heart of the novel and also the closeness and prying eyes of a small town. Each character and scene is vividly described as if the novel is based on facts.

GOD AIN'T BLIND is the fourth installment in Monroe's God series. If you've never read any of Mary Monroe's books of the God series, I suggest reading the first book, God Don't Like Ugly to understand the full meaning of the relationships between Rhoda, Annette and Pee Wee.

5.0 out of 5 stars Playing With Fire..., September 11, 2009
In GOD AIN'T BLIND by Mary Monroe, the memorable character, Annette Goode Davis, is back and she is thinner than ever. Gone are her signature mumu's. She has gone from a size 24 to a size 16. Everyone has noticed her significant weight loss, well that is... everyone except her husband, Pee Wee.

No matter what Annette does or wears, Pee Wee ignores her. Pee Wee has not touched Annette in over a year. Annette's feeling as though Pee Wee no longer desires her and angrily begins to suspect that Pee Wee is having an affair. Little does she know its worse than she imagined.

Louis Baines is a handsome, young caterer who is also the owner of a new local restaurant, OFF THE HOOK. When Annette walks into his establishment, she and Louis are instantly attracted to each other. Since Annette is feeling neglected at home and experiencing a sexual drought for a over a year, Louis' attention is right on time... or so she thinks. With the encouragement of her best friend, Rhonda, she enters an affair with Louis. She is only thinking within the moment, not the potential consequences down the line. She will soon discover that Louis has not been totally truthful with her.

GOD AIN'T BLIND by Mary Monroe was an exceptional read. It is an insightful look into relationships. It showed what can happen when there is a lack of communication in a relationship. Instead of talking with one another, they decide to go outside the relationship to have an affair. The question is...is it worth it? Is it really worth losing what you worked so hard to build? It is like playing with fire, someone will get hurt! The key lesson to be learned from reading this novel...COMMUNICATION. Remember just because you think no one sees when you are up to no good...GOD AIN'T BLIND, he sees all and hears all!

1.0 out of 5 stars Trashy, August 28, 2009

To say this book is "awful" is an understatement. Next time, I'll be sure to read a sample before downloading. Wish I could delete it from my account as I did from my Kindle.
