"Reverend Feelgood" by Lutisha Lovely
December 2010
Lutishia Lovely serves up another scandalous church drama about a womanizing young pastor who’s more than happy to “minister” to his female congregation…
While he carries on the tradition begun by his great-grandfather, preaching prodigy Nathaniel “Nate” Thicke is also just plain carrying on—wherever the spirit and the flesh may lead. But he gets into hot water when it leads him to “sharing the love” with three women from the same family. Nate is surprised himself to discover he’s fallen head-over-heels in love with young, beautiful Destiny, and he wants to devote himself to her completely. But the others aren’t about to give him up, and they’ll lay their religion down to get him back in their clutches—and their beds!
