ABOUT THE BOOK
In Secrets and Lies, Samaria Jacobs tried to seduce Dr. Jonah Morgan. Now she’s back in An Inconvenient Friend. Her creed is “If at first you don’t succeed, try…try…again.”
Samaria Jacobs has her sights set on Gregory Preston. A successful surgeon, he has just the bankroll she needs to keep her in the lifestyle that her credit card debt has helped her grow accustomed to. Samaria joins New Mercies Christian Church to get close to Gregory’s wife. If she gets to know Angelina Preston, she can become like her in more than just looks, and really work her way into Greg’s heart.
Angelina Preston’s life is filled with a successful career and busy ministry work, but something’s just not right with her marriage. Late nights, early meetings, lipstick- and perfume-stained shirts have her suspicious that Greg is doing a little more operating than she’d like. But does she have the strength to confront the only man she’s ever loved and risk losing him to the other woman
Just when Samaria thinks she’s got it all figured out, she finds herself drawn to Angelina’s kindness. Will she be able to carry out her plan after she finds herself yearning for the one thing she’s never had . . . the friendship of a woman?

Book Review by Linda Fegins
First I must confess that I was not excited about reading this book. Oh , another cheating husband and a women fighting for her husband. Same oh song.
Not so. OMG! From the first two pages (really first) ,Rhonda McKnight and her character Samaria and the Women’s Bible Study group had me. I read the first page and the half of the second page again. I wrote on the page great opening. Throughout the book you see McKnight’s writing skill and grace with a jazzy style. This story was more than just about a cheating husband and a scheming un-churched woman who dared to go to the same church as the wife, sit in the wife’s Women’s Bible Study class and befriend her so that she could become her clone and steal her husband. Scandalous! This is a fresh creative story by Rhonda McKnight.
The heart of the story is about women friendships, trust, redemption and how even in the midst of mess God can use it to make a change in a heart for His Glory. You walk with the characters as they address issues of disappointment , betrayal ,forgiveness, low self-esteem and overcoming patterns of living a negative lifestyle and mindset. The characters were memorable , real and well-developed.
I can’t wait for the sequel. How will Samaria change her life around and can she help her mother? Will she find love and peace? Will successful Angelina leave her handsome surgeon husband? Can Angelina find a way to forgive Samaria who has come to admire and respect her and truly think of her as a beautiful virtuous women who was the first woman to every truly show her love and real friendship?
