Review

Gayle Sloan does it again--just messes with your mind, delivers twists and turns and mad-crazy drama all in a well-written dose of have mercy! She put her foot in this one! --L.A. Banks, New York Times Best-selling author

A grammy award-winning singer coupled with a high profile lawyer are sure to rise above normal temptations. This power couple soon finds out that temptation, original sin and a test of unwavering faith can come when least expected and from sources they would never consider. Let the Necessary Occur is sure to delight fans with everything they've come to expect in an expertly crafted novel. Gayle Jackson Sloan's latest is her best work yet. --Naleighna Kai author of Essence Bestseller Every Woman Needs a Wife

Gayle Sloan has a flair for creating vivid, three-dimensional characters that leap off the Page. Let the Necessary Occur is relationship drama at its best, and the reader is privy to the most intimate details of devious minds at work. Some people will stop at nothing to get who they want, and Sloan has painted a dynamic picture of deceit, lies, and manipulation so vivid, readers won t be able to turn the pages fast enough. Will love prevail? That's the million dollar question. --J.D. Mason, Author This Fire Down In My Soul

5.0 out of 5 stars What God has put together, Let no Man put Asunder, January 17, 2010

This review is from: Let the Necessary Occur (Paperback)

OMG! I truly loved and enjoyed this book, Let the Necessary Occur. It was so profound, and a book that would cause discussions among women and men for years to come. This book dealt with so many different situations and circumstances, specifically "relationships," "faith," and "forgiveness," being the key to all the things concerning any and all relationships, especially marriages. Seeing and knowing that fame and fortune is nothing if you have no one to share it with, while being aware that as in the beginning, with Adam and Eve, the very first christian marriage, the serpent found a way to bridge a gap between God and his children simply by sweetly speaking into Eve's ear and telling her that God wanted to keep supreme knowledge from them, causing her to doubt God, and then encouraging Adam to believe what the serpent said and eat the fruit with her, which was man's first fall. Like the serpent in the garden, the enemy of today will use any and all means necessary to destroy the covenant of marriage.

In this book, Gloriana got caught up in her fame and fortune, while forgetting that even though God gave her a ministry to sing and lead people to Him, her first ministry was her husband. You cannot truly minister and enjoy success in the world when your homelife and marriage is jacked up! As marriages are sealed with the statement of, "That what GOD has joined together, let no man put Asunder" at the end of the marriage ceremony, many christians forget to continue to cover their marriages with God.

As Glori lost her focus, Matthew, also allowed himself to forget that he and Glori was one, no matter how much money she made, and pride goeth before destruction. Being naive to the wiles of the enemy, he got caught before he even knew what hit him. The old saying holds true...everything that glitters is not gold! Married men and women of God should never forget that their first ministry is their spouse, above and beyond all other things in life, apart from God of course. This book is an awesome read, which I recommend to anyone who has ever been tempted to trust their eyes before their heart, while forgetting that the flesh is weak, and without our eyes stayed on Jesus, we will always be an easy mark to be tripped up by the enemy. With God all things are possible; However without Him....well the devil is always busy.

This review is from: Let the Necessary Occur (Paperback)

A dedicated and successful gospel singer Glorina McCrae, her husband, a successful Sr. Partner of a high profile law firm, a love sick side-kick Cooper St. James and Aston, a scorned and hateful vixen, are the ingredients in a recipe for matrimonial disaster. Glori who is at the height of her career has blindly ignored the needs of her loving, yet sometimes egotistical husband Matthew, who desperately wants her to slow down and start a family. Cooper St. James, Matt's and Glori's friend of several years has had it with hiding his feelings for his very married tour companion. Aston, with nothing more then greed and destruction on her mind, managed to weasel her way into the married couples life, and by learning personal tid-bits about their private affairs with help from her second rate, bi-sexual journalist cousin, (Pandora Foxworthy) calculated how to put a wedge between the two and seduced a lust struck Cooper into aiding her in her plot. Had only Matt paid attention to his first impression of Aston. Had only Glori taken heed to her Nana and Charloette's advice. Had Charloette, Matts secretary confronted Matt about her suspicions, maybe they all could have escaped the clutches of evil. However you know what they say, when you dig a grave for someone did one for yourself too. But instead of Astons targets demise, Aston contributed to something way more sinister.

I loved Ms. Sloan's lingo. Reading her book really enhanced my vocabulary. The story-line was realistic, and the characters were believable. After reading the first few chapters, I was ready to "cheat" and jump to the end, but I didn't want to spoil my read.

I enjoyed escaping the day to day rat race, and curling up with Let the Necessary Occur. I would recommend it to anyone who was looking to read a juicy piece of fiction with teeth gritting splashes of reality!
