That Raven...

Raven is driving ME insane!!! Sheila Dansby Harvey does it again with Bad Girls Finish First. Once again, this book was a page turner! I am a member of the Houston Divas Book Club, where we have actually done all 3 of the books in this trilogy. This book sparked SO much converation and brought so many issues to light in our club. It is truly a fascinating and compelling work. As has been stated before, Raven is a Black Alexis Carrington-Colby - the woman you love to hate! (am I telling my age here???) She meets someone who is not afraid of her (FINALLY!), but in the end, she still seems to come out on top. But where Raven seemed unstoppable in Illegal Affairs, in this book, you get to see some of her vulnerabilities and weaknesses. Even though I tried to find some sympathy for her, I just couldn't. But I loved every minute of it! Another excellent read from Sheila Dansby Harvey!

Give Me More

I have enjoyed Ms. Harvey's work since day one, and this book kept me on my toes with key punches.

What More Can Raven Do?

Raven is back again. This time she has a little help with her "devilish" acts. Raven is a woman with a cold heart. Raven is a woman on a mission and she will not let anyone (including her husband) stand in the way of getting what she wants. No woman should be this devilish, but hey, Raven is not just any woman. She is a bird, preying on her victims. If you are not familiar with Raven, then you should become acquainted with her. You never know when you might just meet her. This book was even better than the first book. I can not wait to see what the final book of Raven has in store for us. This book was worth the wait.

A Sexy Go-Getter

I never heard of this author, but the cover and title caught my eye. This is an interesting story about a woman who wants her husband to be the first black governor of Texas. She makes all sorts of sleazy deals and has S & M sex to get what she wants. In the meantime, she falls for a preacher. I didn't read the first book, but I will because it seems that a man from her past named Omar has an ax to grind with her. Definitely a good read.

Bad Girls Finish First by Sheila Dansby Harvey: An PeoplewholoveGoodBooks Review

Raven Holloway is back! The character you loved to hate in "Illegal Affairs" is back in the sequel "Bad Girls Finish First". Raven is now married to Senator Michael Joseph and is determined to help him become governor of Texas. Raven is every man's dream and every woman's nightmare. She will do whatever it takes--no matter who is hurt in the process to get what she wants. Soon it appears that her plans will come to pass but when an unexpected event occurs and things become to spiral out of control and Raven finds herself backed up against the wall. Her marriage is falling apart, and it doesn't help that someone is digging in her past and all of the secrets she has tried to hide are about to be revealed. Bad Girls Finish First is an somewhat satisfying sequel as Raven is an interesting character to read about as you never know what she's going to do next, but the ending leaves many unanswered questions. I give this book 3.5 stars. Reviewed by Shay C of PeoplewholoveGoodBooks.
