The Devil is a Lie

The Devil is a Lie
by ReShonda Tate Billingsley


Is Money The Root To all Evil People??

When Nina Lawson wins $16 million in the Texas Lottery, the real estate executive and her fiancé, ecstatically begin planning their future — from paying off their credit card debt, to setting their wedding date, to a spontaneous, spare-no-expense island getaway.
But when Nina goes to claim her winnings, she gets an astounding twist of fate: her ex-husband, Todd Lawson, shows up to inform he he isn’t her ex —since the paperwork for their divorce was never officially filed. By Todd’s side, his money-hungry girlfriend, Pam – the woman he left Nina for.
MORE MONEY, MORE PROBLEMS
Between her divorce drama, Nina also has to deal with relatives coming out of the woodwork to seek a payday for themselves. Before all is said and done, Nina must ask herself if scoring a fortune in cash comes with too high a price tag. With a little bit of luck, Nina will discern the real wealth in her heart, not just her bank account—or risk losing everything—to find out what matters the most.

My 2 cents
ReShonda has written yet another fabulous, and possible story. The cast of characters showed their true colors, GREEN, when it came to Nina's money. The Devil is a Lie, gave a perfect picture of how money is not evil, people are when it comes to money, even if it's someone else's. I truly loved the story, and the end was oh so satisfying.
