Meanwhile, D’Angelo becomes increasingly attracted to Kendall who treads lightly because he is her ex-husband Anthony’s brother.

These women prove there is nothing too difficult when going to God with sincere fervent prayer and a clean loving heart.
This follow-up to The Ex-Files by Victoria Christopher Murray immediately pulled me in so deeply emotionally by the end of Chapter 39, I was shedding tears; no, I was crying a deep river; no, I was boo-hooing a river of tears to the end of this drama-filled novel. How does one learn to write so eloquently like this? This excellent novel is a comfortable read with a splendid story line that is not easy to put down and take a break. I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys drama, romance, Christian fiction, and tearjerkers wrapped up in one novel. In addition, I recommend reading The Ex-Files for a complete understanding of previous events pertaining to the main characters Asia, Sheridan, Kendall, and Vanessa. It is definitely worth the read with the many lessons taught and learned throughout the story line.
I received this book free from the Net Galley Reviewer Program for an honest and unbiased opinion.
