I Really Liked This Book

This book was interesting, it had so many things going on, and how LoReese could find time for another lover is beyond me. But I can say LoReese was a much better friend than Valerie and Floyd ever were... She kept Valerie's secret forever. and Floyd, he never gave her a chance, after he found out what she did.. ... How one can hold down a friend and lover, but as soon as the tables turn, how one can forget how the other held them down..... Great Read Mary Monroe, keep up the good work..

Mary got her mojo back!

I have loved Mary Monroe's books from the beginning. My favorite Mary Monroe book is The Upper Room". Deliver me from Evil was a very boring book or a book with a really slow start so that I could not finish. Nonetheless, She had it coming was exciting from the beginning. The main characters are Valerie, and LoReese (Dolores) who are best friends. Delores is a foster child and Valerie is her best friend who has an extremely abusive step-father. Whom she kills. As they become older Delores marries two men. One whom she loved growing up but he went to prison and the other she met on her job. It's a very funny and descriptive book with a very huge lesson being learned. Enjoy...

MARY MONROE NEVER FAILS!!!

MARY MONROE DOES IT AGAIN. "SHE HAD IT COMING" HAD ME COMING AND GOING! I LAUGHED SO HARD AND THEN FELT PAIN SO TRUE I HAD TO WALK AWAY AT TIMES. LO IS A GOOD PERSON AND SOMEWHAT OF A "PEOPLE-PLEASER". IN HER ATTEMPT AT PLEASING EVERYONE (INCLUDING HERSELF) SHE GETS INTO A JAM THAT IS FULL OF CRAZY TWISTS AND TURNS. THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE TRUE MARY MONROE FANS KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. I ADVISE...NO, I DEMAND...EVERYONE TO RUN OUT AND PURCHASE THIS BOOK. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. BARBARA GROVNER AUTHOR OF "EVEN NUMBERS" AND "WE BELONG TOGETHER"

Good to the last page!!!

Mary Monroe writes a book like no one else can!!! I love reading her work. I find myself laughing out loud at the descriptions she gives that are so vivid I can picture what she is describing. The descriptions about Noble, Moanin' Lisa and Glodine had me near tears!!! In this novel you meet Dolores Reese a young woman who grew up in foster care. Valerie is Delores' best friend, and Valerie and her entire family (including the elderly grandfather Paw Paw !!) suffer the wrath of her psycho step father Mr. Zeke. Valerie will do whatever it takes to ensure that her family is protected. Dolores ends up involved in Valerie's family drama, although she is an unwilling participant. Meanwhile, Dolores falls in love with another foster child, Floyd Watson, a neighbor from down the street, and they vow to be together, until an innocent Floyd winds up in jail..for life! Dolores tries to move on with her life while her one true love is locked up, but finds it hard to do so. Dolores eventually moves on gets a great job on a cruise line, and marries Paul Dunne while keeping Floyd as a deep dark secret. Eventually Dolores marries Floyd out of pity thinking he will never be released!! Shockingly,Floyd is released when new evidence turns up and this sends Dolores' life into a complete state of turmoil. With Valerie's help, Dolores is sure she can pull off the ultimate secret, having two husbands!!! Only some secrets won't stay a secret for long... This book is well written, the story is filled with surprises and the characters will seem so real. This book was so good I am sad to see it end!! Can't wait for the next novel from Ms.Monroe, I know it will not dissapoint!!!
