Allure


Allure

Jackie King Scott

****(4.5/5)

This is one hard book to find on amazon.com, but I did find it and read it and enjoyed it and it was worth the search. The one thing I can say about it is it was too short, but that does in no means takes away from the book. I just wanted to know Valerie and John a little more, and to hear John’s voice- which was a little absent.

Valerie and John have been married for seven years, but are growing apart on a daily basis. Their union is even more threatened when Valerie meets handsome Curtis. The novel takes place throughout many church events and seminars and is told primarily from Valerie’s angle.

In the end though, this books is more than just a work of fiction but a great (i.e. realistic) portrait of marriage and its ups and down and the hope, faith and forgives that must exists to make marriage work.

Powerful and quick read.
