God Ain't Blind

By Mary Monroe

Book Overview

The new edition of a modern classic by New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Mary Monroe

In this beautifully repackaged fourth installment in the God series, two women who've been through just about everything together are about to find out if there are some things even forever friends can't fix.

Annette Goode Davis is a survivor. Life's obstacles have often knocked her down, but she's never stayed there for long. To Annette, it's all about family and old friends like Rhoda O'Toole. And right now, Annette needs all the friends she can get . . . because her marriage is in big trouble, and she has no idea why . . .

Lately, Annette's husband, Pee Wee, barely has the time of day for her. Desperate to regain his affections, Annette goes on a crash diet, gets a makeover, and looks hotter than she has in a long, long time. Everyone notices--except Pee Wee. So, when handsome Louis Baines showers her with attention, Annette finds herself embroiled in a full-blown affair and spending money on Louis like there's no tomorrow. But when she learns a terrible secret about her new lover, she realizes she's in way over her head. Soon, Annette must face the fact that she may have destroyed the life she loved--and this time, not even Rhoda can help her make things right . . .

Love It !

This book is as hilarious as it is good. It's my second time reading it and won't be my last. I love Rhoda, Annette, and their friendship.

Trouble Don't Last Always

I enjoyed this book. You have to have read all of the series to truly enjoy Annette and her life. Everybody has beaten up on Annette this time she gets to live a little. I am glad Pee-Wee was able to get himself together. Annette deserves some happiness. She has had a lifetime of hell. Mary I love your work and I am a huge fan. I say continue the Good Work and Happy Writing!!! Submitted By The Savvy Book Club, Jackson, MS.

Playing With Fire...

In GOD AIN'T BLIND by Mary Monroe, the memorable character, Annette Goode Davis, is back and she is thinner than ever. Gone are her signature mumu's. She has gone from a size 24 to a size 16. Everyone has noticed her significant weight loss, well that is... everyone except her husband, Pee Wee. No matter what Annette does or wears, Pee Wee ignores her. Pee Wee has not touched Annette in over a year. Annette's feeling as though Pee Wee no longer desires her and angrily begins to suspect that Pee Wee is having an affair. Little does she know its worse than she imagined. Louis Baines is a handsome, young caterer who is also the owner of a new local restaurant, OFF THE HOOK. When Annette walks into his establishment, she and Louis are instantly attracted to each other. Since Annette is feeling neglected at home and experiencing a sexual drought for a over a year, Louis' attention is right on time... or so she thinks. With the encouragement of her best friend, Rhonda, she enters an affair with Louis. She is only thinking within the moment, not the potential consequences down the line. She will soon discover that Louis has not been totally truthful with her. GOD AIN'T BLIND by Mary Monroe was an exceptional read. It is an insightful look into relationships. It showed what can happen when there is a lack of communication in a relationship. Instead of talking with one another, they decide to go outside the relationship to have an affair. The question is...is it worth it? Is it really worth losing what you worked so hard to build? It is like playing with fire, someone will get hurt! The key lesson to be learned from reading this novel...COMMUNICATION. Remember just because you think no one sees when you are up to no good...GOD AIN'T BLIND, he sees all and hears all!

God Is Watching You

Annette Davis hasn't felt love from her husband, Pee Wee, in a long time. To ignite the fire back into their bedroom, she transforms into a new woman by losing weight, getting a total makeover, and buying an extensive wardrobe, but Pee Wee doesn't seem to notice. Annette discovers he is spending his time elsewhere and comes to the conclusion he is having an affair. Louis Baines moves to Richland, Ohio to aid his sickly uncle and work in his restaurant. After his uncle's death, he inherits the restaurant and strives to make it a successful catering business. When Annette meets the handsome young caterer, he yearns for her, and the love affair commences. Overwhelmed from all the attention and pleasure she's receiving from Louis, Annette swirls out of control, jeopardizing her marriage and job. But when she discovers her young lover has an ulterior motive, she's already in too deep and turns to her best friend, Rhoda O'Toole for support. Annette is determined to resolve the mess she has created, but when the truth is revealed, it may be too late for her marriage and her career. GOD AIN'T BLIND is a gripping novel of trust, love and communication. The characters are the heart of the novel and also the closeness and prying eyes of a small town. Each character and scene is vividly described as if the novel is based on facts. GOD AIN'T BLIND is the fourth installment in Monroe's God series. If you've never read any of Mary Monroe's books of the God series, I suggest reading the first book, God Don't Like Ugly to understand the full meaning of the relationships between Rhoda, Annette and Pee Wee.
