Synopsis

Jasmine Cox Larson Bush and Rachel Jackson Adams have been through a lot together - from fighting for their husbands to become the head of the American Baptist Coalition to getting mixed up in a terrible murder. Now the frenemies have been approached by the producers of First Ladies, a much-anticipated new reality television show. Jasmine balks at the idea of airing her dirty laundry on national TV, but Rachel sees it as the perfect opportunity to take her brand to the next level. And if Rachel is in, so is Jasmine.

About this title

Review:

"The scandalous characters unite again in Fortune & Fame, Murray and Billinglsey's third and best collaboration. This time brazen Jasmine and Rachel, who has zero shame, have been cast on First Ladies, a reality TV show that builds one's brand and threatens to break another's marriage. Sorry, buttered popcorn is not included."--Essence magazine

"Priceless trash talk marks this story about betrayal, greed and stepping on anyone in your way. Best supporting character goes to Mae Frances, who nails all her scenes as a muse for Jasmine. A great choice for folks who spend Sunday mornings in the front pew."--Library Journal, on Fortune & Fame

"Double the fun, with a message of faith, Sinners & Saints will delight readers with two of their favorite characters from two of their favorite authors. It's a match made in heaven!"--Grace Magazine

"Murray and Billingsley keep things lively and fun."--Juicy magazine

"Frenetic and deliciously slapstick sequel to Sinners & Saints...These frenemies [Rachel Jackson Adams and Jasmine Larson Bush] are drama queens at their best and smartest, a combination that will leave fans praying for their further misadventures."--Publishers Weekly

"Celebrated authors Victoria Christopher Murray and ReShonda Tate Billingsley combine forces in this unconventional tale about two ambitious women at odds....This faith-based novel should keep devout fans on their toes."--Upscale magazine

"Writing in an engaging and comfortable style, Murray creates believable women to whom readers will easily relate."--Library Journal

"Faith-based fiction doesn't get better than Billingsley's entertaining soaps, notable for their humor, wonderful characters and challenging life situations that many readers, Christian or not, can identify with."--Publishers Weekly
