Title: An Inconvenient Friend by Rhonda McKnight
APOOO: 4.5
Amazon: 5
Heading: Looking For Love
Even the best-laid plans can go awry. In Rhonda McKnight’s An Inconvenient Friend, Samaria Jacobs planned on getting her happily ever after with Gregory Preston, no matter the cost. However, Gregory was not a single man. He had already pledged his life to his wife, Angelina. Samaria came up with a foolproof scheme, but who would be the fool in the end?
Samaria, as much as she fought it, was a dutiful daughter. Even with her tough exterior, saying no to her mother was not easy. Her mother was the one person she was able to say yes to all the while regretting it, but everyone else in Samaria’s life better watch out. She is a sharp, sassy, beautiful, smart woman. But somewhere she is missing something. It was not until she entered Angelina Preston’s life, that she realized exactly what it was.
I enjoyed this book from cover to cover. For a moment, I had a look into the mind and life of “the other woman.” Even though I do not condone another person coming between a husband and wife, I understood the reason Samaria did what she was doing. I recommend An Inconvenient Friend to readers of Christian fiction or inspirational fiction.

I must agree with you Jennifer, Rhonda’s book was such a joy to read. But I have to add Mekhi into the mix. He was my shining star!
I enjoyed An Inconvenient Friend as well and definitely recommend it to others.
Thanks for the great review, Jennifer! I was nervous there. I know you can be a tough reviewer.

I’m glad you enjoyed Samaria’s tale. I remember when I was writing it I got to a place where it became such work. Samaria was getting on my nerves. I emailed it to my writing partner and she sent me a text message that said, “I know why she’s getting on your nerves, this trick is triflin’, but my stomach is in knots waiting to see what her next move is.” That was my stamp of approval, so I went forth and let Ms. Jacobs continue with her plan.
Beverly – Mekhi is my absolute favorite character. I loved creating him. I hope to see him in another book. I think he’s got a story of his own.
I liked Mekhi, too. He’s my type of man.
Rhonda, I am a tough reviewer. I become soft when I come across a really good book. You did a great job.
