The Epitome of God's Love in Marriage, May 6, 2010
This review is from: Still Guilty (Urban Christian) (Paperback)
Still Guilty is beyond what one could think of in a romance...It is pure, unadulterated LOVE! God's love He intended for man and woman when He created Adam and Eve! WOW! Only says a portion of the emotions, love and thrills this book encompassed. The love, chemistry and relationship between Cheney and Parke as well as all of the Jamieson men and their women, only soars to the next level in Still Guilty, and by adding the importance of forgiveness to the storyline, ultimately strengthens the storyline and makes it complete. It is my thoughts that this series should not be labeled as Christian Fiction, but instead Christian Romance. For to tag it as fiction, only says that Christians are unable to grasp the true meaning of romance and love, which is totally and unequivocally insane, for Pat Simmons has captured the very essence of love and romance in this series! Check out Song of Solomon in the Bible! Then you add in the antics of Grandma BB and her attempted murder charges; Kami, the little Diva; the Red Hat Society; Janea, Cheney's hateful sister; Rainey, her unforgiving twin brother; Cheney's judgmental mother and Roland, her murdering father as well as many more strong supporting characters, you get a plate full of drama only to be healed by God's unconditional love! Pat Simmons does an awesome job revealing how God's Word can heal, restore, and fulfill our every desire when we seek, believe, and trust Him wholeheartedly no matter how many trials and tribulations the devil brings our way! I highly recommend this book; however not before encouraging you to purchase and read the previous books in this series "Guilty of Love" and "Not Guilty of Love!" You will not be disappointed! Love knows no boundaries when it is ordained by God and covered in prayers!!!!!

(RAW Rating: 3.5) - His Grace And Mercy, January 16, 2011
This review is from: Still Guilty (Urban Christian) (Paperback)
STILL GUILTY by Pat Simmons is the third installment of The Guilty series which features the Jamieson and Reynolds families, their trials and tribulations, and their contingent and unconditional love. With this installment, Cheney Jamieson is at a crossroad with her family; her father will go on trial for a hit and run incident from many years gone by. The victim was the husband of her self-appointed grandmother, Grandma BB. Grandma BB will also stand trial for shooting Cheney's father because he killed her husband. Her family has basically shunned her because of her relationship with Grandma BB. Cheney's mother, brother, and sister cannot understand how Cheney expresses forgiveness towards Grandma BB for shooting the elder Reynolds. Added to this dilemma is Cheney's brother, Rainey, and his inability to trust women because of an indiscretion by a former mate; an indiscretion he discovers his sister also made in her past. To further complicate matters, Cheney's husband, Parke, is seeking the whereabouts of a son he recently discovered had been in the foster care system and then adopted. Parke Jamieson descends from a royal African tribe and lineage is a very important aspect of their family. There are several stories at play here, each with its own quandary, but the overall theme centers around God's grace and mercy. The Jamieson and Reynolds families are at opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to family ties and loyalties, just as they are unequally yoked in terms of religion and spirituality. There is much pain and grief within the pages and just as much humor. This mixture and balance is reality personified. Reviewed by Dawn R. Reeves of The RAWSISTAZ(tm) Reviewers

Love Endures, May 18, 2010
This review is from: Still Guilty (Urban Christian) (Paperback)
STILL GUILTY by Pat Simmons is the third installation in the Guilty series. Cheney and Parke Jamieson are trying to be the pillars for their family. Cheney's father is on trial for a fatal hit-and-run accident from years ago. That accident killed her "godmother," Grandma BB's, husband. Grandma BB tries to take the law in her own hands and shoots Cheney's father. Now Grandma BB is also on trial. Meanwhile, Parke is on a search to locate the son he recently found out about. The Jamieson family takes their lineage very serious and Parke wants nothing more than to have Parke the "seventh" home where he belongs. Cheney's twin brother, Rainey, holds a grudge against her when he learns that she had an abortion. His former girlfriend did the same thing and he feels like someone has to pay for the hurt he feels. It is not until he meets another woman, that Rainey learns he must have forgiveness in his heart before he can completely move on. Simmons continues to tell stories of God's love and favor. We witness true love amongst family; be that with couples, parents, and children. I was thrust into this family and wanted nothing but the best for them. There are times where the story slowed down, but it quickly picked back up. I was anxious to see those plots play out. The book can stand alone; but, I highly suggest you read the others in the series as well. This book was provided courtesy of the author for review.
