The Preacher's Son is a riveting romance by BD Anderson. Right away, I knew this would be a 5 star book for me. I immediately feel in love with Jeremy and his struggles, as well as the writing style.

Jeremy's a model in NY, but his family is conservative. His father doesn't approve of his profession, and certainly wouldn't approve of his sexuality. At the same time, his girlfriend Aura is battling her own demons with her family.

This story is full of a father preaching homophobia and racism, and a couple who struggle to make people accept them. This is a story of not following the path your father expects from you, and not having your relationship or career accepted by your father. And, at it's heart, it's about the relationship between a father and a son.

I was certainly maddened at all the racism and other judgements they face, so be warned.

The Preacher's Son is a compelling read. Everything about this book appeals to me, leaving me unable to put it down.

I really struggled with this book, took me a long time finish it, but i got there in the end, not my cup of tea.

This book has its fair share of drama, racism ,love, conflict and tensions. All of this is mixed into a Christian sense but not over powering. I actually felt like I could relate with Jeremy and Aura talking about how they had been away from church and found that they had missed going alot. I have experienced that in my life a few times,especially after being away from church for 9 years and wanting a safe place again to make friends and connect with god again.

The flow of the book was ok, I found it easy to read, but I found some of the dialogue to be dead ends, and some unfinished. Other than that, the author really zoned in on some of the prejudices and how generations are overcoming them and seeing people for who they are, not by the color of their skin and how some prejudices the world still needs to work on, especially with body image. I also liked how Christians were seen through out the book. As a Christian, I know I'm not even close to being perfect, I struggle personally every day.Does this make me a bad Christian? No, just shows you we are all human, we all sin and we choose to get up and dust ourselves off and start again in our walks with Christ.
This book was such a delight to read , The way two families come together it tells the story of these two through and through. Would I recommend this book to my friends? Yes I would now that I know there i more to the story, the ending left you hanging lol.

A good romance that is more than just a romance. Family drama, personal issues, career choices. A very good story. I will keep my eyes on this author.

The story was well written but I did feel it should be put in the Christian category as it did relate to quite a lot of religious situations as well as the racial factions.

I also did find members of the families hypocritical and that did bother me whilst reading this book. Secrets were kept and opinions stated that were actually opposite of what went on in their families backgrounds.

However, the relationship between Aura and Jeremy was a strong one and neither backed down from the love they felt for each other. I was impressed that Jeremy stood up for his beliefs in regard to his Modelling Contract and was adamant that he would not keep his wife a secret to further his career.

Lots of relationships going on in this book and plenty of surprises also.


Thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This is not my typical reading material; however, I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, it has a religious tone but it does not preach. It is about relationships, something I think a majority of people can relate to.
Things I did not like:
• It seemed that the author felt that she needed to include negative stereotype of black women
• The introduction of other characters towards the end of the story. They were extraneous to the story and interrupted the smooth flow
Things I liked:
• It is a romance which focuses on the relationship and some of the issues that couples address
• The heroine is not photoshopped, she is a full-figured or should I say voluptuous dark-skinned black woman
• Human beings are more alike than they are different, white as well as black individuals can present as or engage in racist activities, no excuses for either side. At the same time, she does not “white wash” bigotry and the impact it has on those who are the target of such venom.
• The heroine’s decision to wait to consummate her relationship until her wedding night was a nice touch.
I was provided with a copy of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Jeremy Ferguson has always felt that he was a disappointment to his preacher father especially as he refused to follow in his footsteps and instead headed to New York to be a successful model. However, bringing home his girlfriend, Aura, brings things to another level, as she definitely doesn’t fit into his ideas of a future spouse. Aura also has to contend with prejudice from her family. I really enjoyed this story of a young couple in love battling to gain acceptance.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

Awesome book. I can’t wait to read more from this author!!!I wasn’t expecting this book to be complex and erotic.
