Double-Dealer
First it was Liza Minnelli, and then Terry McMillian, now Star Jones. Recently inducted into this club was Stormy Knight. I know that keen readers should know what I'm speaking of, women who marry gay men. Well I got a question, are single women actually that desperate? Well after reading "Liar, Liar" by tenderfoot Latrese N. Carter, it's sad to say, but yes, women are indeed that desperate. Gone are the warning bells, all these sisters can hear are wedding bells.
Stormy Knight, thus far, has been unsuccessful in her quest to find a God-fearing man. See you have to be careful what you're actually praying for. Cause while you may say, "Lord, send me a man who'll love me and treat me right," you may be so anxious that you wind up settling for that fine brother who you later learn you really didn't know after all. Camden Brooks was no different. Well, he was in a sense. While he sought out Stormy, his motive was to help keep his secret safe from his family. While Camden tried to deny the fact that he was actually a gay man, he invited Stormy to become his personal whipping board.
Can these two people live in wedded bliss till death they part or will a man put asunder?
WOW! I figured by the cover that there was sure to be theatrics. As I began my journey into LIAR, LIAR, I couldn't help but wonder if an important issue had purposely been left out. Was Stormy mentally handicapped and no one wanted to discuss it? While I'm a Christian, and I believe that God can do anything but fail, I also know that HE expects us to use common sense. I tried to read this book looking at it from a standpoint of her FATE, but then I realized that this same woman was having premarital sex, so she wasn't afraid of sinning; it was actually that she was too desperate for her own good. Latrese, I have to commend you on a job well done. For one, I hated your main character; two, you did a great job introducing readers to the fear that (some) women are suffering from. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't disturbed that this educated woman of God allowed so much turmoil to invade her life in the name of love. I pray that all people learn that love starts with self.

A House of Cards
Stormy's fiancé, Camden, after being called on the carpet, admits to a same sex affair with a fellow church member. His confession leads to the abrupt ending of their wedding plans. Months later, however, Stormy is convinced that Camden's desire for men is a thing of the past. She agrees to resume their relationship and the wedding is back on. But has Camden really changed?
Like many of the characters in this book, I had struggles; a constant struggle not to want to reach through the pages of this book and knock some good common sense into Stormy. Her stupidity, desperation and naïveté never ceased to amaze me; nor did it ever cease! LIAR, LIAR has it all. There's scandal, there are lies, and there's deceit, but Stormy's decision-making, or lack of, overshadowed it all. If it looks like a duck, if it walks like a duck, and if it quacks like a duck, it's a DUCK! For me, Stormy's character got to the point of being unbelievable, which ultimately affected this story. Had she not been so the way she was, I think I would have enjoyed this novel more. I understand that the author was making a point about how some women behave and what they are willing to put up with, but enough was enough and I struggled to finish. Debut author Latrese Carter is off to a promising beginning and definitely knows how to evoke her readers' emotions.

Stormy Knight is engaged to Camden Brooks, but six months before the wedding she finds out that he is a bisexual. The wedding is called off, until Camden's father, Pastor Brooks convinces Stormy that he has prayed the demons out of his son. Shortly after the wedding, she finds out that Camden is still sleeping with a member of the congregation and can't decide whether to stay or to go.
I gave the book 4 stars because I couldn't understand why Stormy kept taking Camden back.
