Lust of the Flesh by Beverly Rolyat

Rating:    PENS!!!!
 

The Devil Made Me Do It

Willie ‘Ba’Bruh’ Moss grew up in Cottonplant Georgia in a dysfunctional family.  At the age of twelve, Ba’Bruh was believed to have committed a crime and then he was sent away for his own protection.  He continued to lead a  life of crime all through his youth, and then committed a big crime that landed him in jail for a few years.

 

Nicolas ‘Slick Papa Nick’ Allapapalous became a high-powered attorney with a sexual penchant for women.  He fell in love quickly, married quickly and divorce quickly.  Nick was a lover of women and money.  Nick had the perfect plan to get his hands on lots of money to start his own practice.  Unfortunately, Willie paid the price for Nick’s greed.  Once Willie got out of jail, Nick had the ‘perfect’ plan to keep them both in money for a long time.

 

When I started reading this book, the first couple of chapters disturbed me.  I thought to myself, “This can not be a Christian fiction book.”   As I continued reading, I saw where the author was taking the book.  I still don’t think I would have labeled this Christian fiction, but you be the judge.

 

Read how Nick and Willie deal with sexual perversion, greed, jealousy and death in this thought provoking, drama filled story.  Many may not see Author Rolyat vision as this being a Christian book, but there are many lessons learned and messages in the book.  The book is well written and the characters very colorful.
