    About this audiobook

    New York Times best-selling author Carl Weber amps up the sexiness and pulse-quickening drama in this riveting novel. All's good for James and Cathy-until a woman shows up with James' love child. Undeniably suave Brent thinks he's found happiness with a born-again churchgoer, until another leads him into temptation. And longtime friend Sonny is going to need help from James and Brent if he's to have any hope of salvaging his marriage. "A raucous 'desperate husbands' story line-co-starring crazy baby mamas, shady churchgoers and various deranged personalities-ups the conflict quotient significantly." -Publishers Weekly

      I really did like it, just could have had a more satisfying ending to me.
    • 4/5
      I remember reading this in middle school...yeah...middle school I’m sure that it didn’t help my mind or preteen thoughts BUT!!! I will say that this book always gave a different perspective on a lot of things from sexuality, to dating and to handling my emotions. After that I remember reading all the family business novels after, so over all good read. Tbh I thought it was the same gentleman reading both Bret and James. Definitely would say listen to it if you want something entertaining

      One of the few books of his, I didn’t really like. Maybe it was the audiobook version that was kind of bad with narration….characters sounded like they were in their 50s and it just wasn’t good. The actual book was super slow but then went 0-100 at the end to kinda make up for it…. Didn’t really do that. Eh… family business series is dope, the married men series is hilarious. The church series just isn’t that great. Next up. The First Lady.

      One of the BEST book I have listened to on this platform!!!! It's funny, filled with drama and suspense. I never saw anything coming.... It's not predictable. It had me entertained from start to finish!!!! I hate that it's finish ?.

      Carl is now on my favorite list of best authors!! Oh, the narrators did a fantastic job!!!!

      One of the best books I've ever read! Definitely in my top 5!
    • 5/5
      Great book! One of the best Carl Weber books I have read. It is a story of 3 childhood friends, Brent, James, and Sonny. Brent, the born-again Christian, is engaged to a woman whom he describes as "everything he ever wanted in a woman" even though she is not a size 2. James has the perfect married-with-children life while Sonny is currently seeking employment desperate to provide for his wife and kids.The book starts off painting the perfect lives of seemingly perfect people. However, it quickly starts to reveal some interesting facts and situations. James discovers he has fathered a child during a brief affair and he tries to hide this fact from his wife. What makes the storyline so interesting is the child's mother - she will definitely not be winning "Mother of the Year" any time soon. Meanwhile, James piles lies on top of lies in order to hide his outside child from his wife and the reader knows it is only a matter of time before the entire situation blows up in his face.Brent life seems to be perfect - he is looking forward to his upcoming wedding and, by all outward appearances, they seem to be perfect for each other. However, things take a strange turn when the character Jackie is introduced and then the perfect Brent goes through with his wedding while engaging in an affair with Jackie. Totally unexpected behavior from the born-again Christian. I have to give Carl Weber credit for throwing in a curve ball during the development of the Brent character. Without spoiling the storyline, I will just say the reader will not see ending coming and will be totally shocked.Sonny, an unemployed computer specialist seeking a job as a UPS driver, gathers sympathy from the reader. When Sonny is turned down for the driver position but offered a position in the UPS computer department, it seems everything is falling into place for him and his family. His wife and children are excited about Sonny's new job as well as their move from the west coast to the east coast. Just when it seems everything is going perfect, Carl Weber blindsides the reader with an unexpected turn. Instead of packing up to move to be with her husband, Sonny's wife packs up his things, mail them to him and tells him she and the kids have no intention of moving to the east coast. As if this is not bad enough, sinister things are later revealed about Sonny's character that will not be anticipated by the reader - even his childhood friends were shocked.I absolutely loved this book! I don't like reading books that are very predictable - where I can see the ending coming a mile away. This book had all the excitement of a good mystery while being extremely entertaining. It definitely kept me on the edge of my seat - I ended up reading the entire 254-page hardcover book in two days. I would highly recommend this book for readers who like unexpected surprises.

      Carl Weber has done it again, this book was a real page turner with surpises all throughout the book. I look forward to reading his next novel!
