Somebody's Sinning in My Bed
Pat G'Orge Walker

When The Sweet Bush Lounge burns down, all hell breaks loose at New Hope Assembly, Church. The Reverend Grayson Young's "good book" is not good at all. The "talented" First Lady of New Hope, Chyna, is at the church's mercy and doesn't know why. Janelle, Chyna's sister comes to help her sister out, BUT now the sisters Ex Cordell shows up! What a mess. Then add in several pious church members who have their own agenda, and secrets of their own, stirring the pot calling the kettle black.

This was an excellent read an quite a turn for author Pat G'Orge Walker. She has packed so much love, redemption and wisdom in the chaotic tale, of sinners, yet reminds us all that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future

Not a good novel at all!

This is the first book that I have read by this author and I seriously doubt if I would read another book by her in the future. IN MY OPINION, the entire story was very far fetched and it was not enjoyable. The characters were not memorable at all and there were several inconsistencies with the plot. I kept archiving and unarchiving this book and I was going to delete it several times, but I wanted to finish it hoping the story would get better, but unfortunately it didn't.

A story of love and marriage gone awry!

Any book by best-selling author Pat G'Orge Walker is worth time and vested reasons not to put it down! 'Somebody's Sinning In My Bed' is a story paradoxical in nature with the nauture of adultery explored through the antics of a set of flawed characters written with verve. It's the Biblical story from John 8:3-11 all over again where God forgives a woman conducting an ilicit affair. The author does a credible job of weaving the story around a significant statement regarding judging others prematurelyu, while admonishing his disciples to prove themselves otherwise. The scripture leaves the room dim but with just enough light to to expose others.

With a stunning storyline she flips the script, fast forwards to modern times and handcuffs the man who surely thought he'd gotten away. Let's get to the gist of this poignant read where the hunt for the forbiden is just as satisfying as getting it. The story is set in Brooklyn - notorious for mayhem, mischief and the misbehaving. We find Chyna Young and Janelle Pierce, sisters with discord and a distant fued stemming from occasional spats, and Janelle's taboo act of stealing her sister's boyfriend years ago. As their sibling rivalry reverberate with ongoing angst, the plot thickens a bit and focuses on New Hope Assembly, a church searching for an identity atypical of its leader. Reverend Grayson Young is a flawed minister who happen to get caught at the infamous Sweet Bush Lounge., Wrap this around the fact that Chyna, who is married to the 'good' Reverend is forced to bear the humiliation as First Lady and turns to Janelle for help. Meanwhile the church is in chaos trying to cope with the Pastor's infidelity.

Will Janelle help, hinder or harangue her sister in her time of need? Will she be willing to forget and forgive; Or, will she revert to tending to her own set of problems? Meanwhile, Cornell Dewitt, he of good looks street smarts and a conniving spirit suggesting that he gets what he wants. Two-timing and not missing a step he falls prey to inuendo and allows it to enhance enmity between two sisters caught in a triumverate web of lies and deceit. Readers will want to know who will be the first to unlock the door to adultery, and who indeed holds the key! If power was a risky and persistent aphrodiasiac, then opportunistic value is much more coveted by all the players in this drama who seeks redemption. It proves to be a slow road to salvation as the author deftly writes indelibly. She shows that adultery (through her characters here) knows no boundaries when the equation is a formula that would take serious arithmetic to solve. When you play by numbers, make sure they add up, and with Chyna, Janelle, Cordell and the Reverend there is no common denominator.

This is a typical Pat G'Orge-Walker novel in the sense that it's well-written and full of intrigue. The chapters are short and breezy with a cliffhanger-type mettle that makes it anticipatory of what will happen next. The story flows with good continuity that says a lot about how balanced the book is. In my opinion, this is the best book that I've read of this author and I've read them all! The stroy has the type of ending that reeks of a sequel.

Laughter is the Best Medicine of All!!

"Somebody's Sinning in My Bed" by Pat G'Orge-Walker is a delightful treat! It is primarily the tale of two sisters - different as salt and pepper, yet with similar seasoning. Although different, both sisters have the same number of skeletons in the closet and many people are counting! Chyna is First Lady of New Hope Assembly, a church full of more scandals and mess than "The National Enquirer." To the outside world, Chyna has it going on - she is saved, she is beautiful, has all the treasures money can buy, and has the respectful title as First Lady, married to New Hope's leader, Reverend Grayson Young. Despite all of this, Chyna is unhappy and unfulfilled with her life and herself. Chyna's sister, Janelle, is also beautiful, outspoken, single, and could care less about the inside of a church and/or bible. Janelle and Chyna both harbor an unspoken grudge against one another, and cannot be in the same room longer than a few minutes without conflict - yet they love each other and have each other's back (um.well not all of the time).

The story heats up (literally) when an unsavory club in the neighborhood, Sweet Bush Lounge burns down, and the good Reverend Grayson Young is caught in a scandal that will change the lives of Chyna, Janelle, many colorful characters of New Hope Assembly Church and anyone else connected to Chyna and Janelle. To add more fuel to the fire, Janelle's first love, Cordell, shows up like the ghost from Christmas past, with enough skeletons in his own closet to host an anatomy class. Cordell has a few scores to settle with both Chyna and Janelle and in the process, the floodgates of hell are opened and there is no turning back.

One character readers will never forget is Deacon Pillar. Deacon Pillar steps in to provide help to Chyna, Janelle and Cordell and other members at New Hope Assembly - by any means necessary! Deacon Pillar had me laughing until my side hurt. I could visualize an entire book based on his character alone.

Overall, I highly recommend this book! Author Pat G'Orge-Walker stepped out on faith, tried something a little different and hit a home run! Despite everything that is going on in the world right now, it was truly refreshing to pick up a good book and laugh.and laugh..and laugh again. "Somebody's Sinning in My Bed" confirms that laughter is the best medicine of all - it was just what the doctor ordered!

Don't Point Fingers

Pat G'Orge Walker's latest book is filled with characters that jump off the page. The books opening sets the tone for the fast pace story. Chyna feels her current tragedy is just payback for the sins she committed. The stress leads her sister Janelle to come to her rescue. There's several twists and turns in the story that will not let you put the book down. Chyna is the first lady and has to deal with several church members who are determined to get rid of her. Those same church members have a past that would make Chyna's seem meek and mild.

Pat G'Orge Walker has a way of showing us our flaws in a humorous manner. She reminds us through her writing that all of us have sinned and shouldn't point fingers at others.

I highly recommend this book. ~ Shelia M. Goss, Entertainment Writer & Author of Young Adult Books & Women's Fiction
