Single, Pregnant And Preaching
"Sex before marriage is wrong!" Emerald, the faithful church girl, and preacher's daughter heard this over the pulpit often. However, at two o'clock am, what she heard went in one ear and out of the other. She loved the Lord but she couldn't resist Tony, her dark chocolate fiancé of six foot seven inches tall. The thought of him made her melt!
However, trouble comes when she finds out that she's pregnant just two weeks before her initial sermon. Emerald deals with the church condemning her, her family's disappointment in her and Tony's crushing words.
Rayne is also in the picture. He's Emerald's friend of over four years. When he proclaims his love for her, Emerald faces a true battle between Tony and Rayne, along with her flesh and her spirit.
Tony turns out to not be the person he says he is. Loving him could possibly cost all of them their lives!

When I say another anointed books and author! I’m just starting to get into these Christian fictions. I am learning and enjoying what I read. I believe this book is a must there is someone that needs to read this and will be touched by every word as well. God is good and prayer is awesome.

Good but short
I gave it a 3 because it was read, but i wanted more from it. It was too short. Things moved too fast and I would have loved more details I'm between the months that were skipped over.

Every Single Woman needs this!
This author kept it so real. She said what most single women in church want to say but are afraid to. I felt every emotion that Emerald felt. This is the real deal. I want to get a few copies to give as gifts. Love her work. I bought all of her books. Hope she writes another romance novel soon.

Single, Pregnant and Preaching.
First of all I have to thank this author for writing this book, it was an amazing story. I encourage everyone to read Emerald, Rayne and Tony's story you will be blessed. The words of encouragement the end of the book are like water to a dying plant. Melvina Carpenter, I can't wait until you write the story for married people.

The plot was great. I liked the unexpected twists and turns, and the message was really on-point. I especially liked the personal note from the author at the end. If this book were reviewed by a copy editor, it would be even greater. Congrats to the author!
