    About this ebook

    Reverend Goodlove the third wasn't always the God-Fearing man of the cloth he is today. As a matter of fact before the calling he was anything but. Take a glimpse of the pastor who turned religion into a moneymaking machine like no other. Back in the day Ethan Goodlove was known for his after hours speak easy clubs where any and everything was available for the asking. In this e-quickie we travel back in time when the jive turkeys looking for a good time knew just the man to call: back then Goodlove was synonymous with the kind of good times that had nothing to do with the holy ghost!

      ...She’s a brick house… she’s mighty mighty…

      Ethan Ezeekel Goodlove the third stood back and watched as Joyce Benton moved her hips seductively to the music’s beat. His eyes remained glued as she wiggled then gyrated and wiggled again, all but summoning him. She was more than a fine thick woman, she was willing to do whatever he needed her to do. Joyce had one thing on her mind when she swiveled her hips and snaked her body like that was what it was made specifically to do.

      When she knew she was being watched, her movements became even more erotic and inviting. Joyce was a handsome woman, but her perfect 36DD cup breasts, her barely there waist and her massive thighs which held up her extra large booty, were always a crowd pleaser.

      Most men loved watching her come and go. And as a special treat to those whose eyes lingered, Joyce rewarded them with her come hither strut.

      Look here youngblood, you ain’t gonna get nothing better than Joyce over there, Ezeekel said out the side of his mouth. His signature cigar dangled between his lips as if it may fall at any moment, but it never did.

      And if she’s too much for your group, we got Nasty Natasha, and Hot blooded Heather, Ezeekel said. She’s a real pro, Joyce don’ did it all, and she ain’t afraid of a crowd if you know what I mean!

      Yo, fire up that big J, the man said, as his eyes remained glued to the TV monitor they were watching. She real nice and thick, he said.

      Ezeekel took the blunt, fired it up, inhaled deeply, then passed it to the man.

      The monitor and the men were holed up inside Ezeekel’s backroom office. That was where the bulk of his business took place. Major and minor deals, drug exchanges, and salacious incidents often went down in the small back room.

      Ethan Ezeekel Goodlove the third was known on the streets of Houston’s third and fifth wards as Ezee-Gee. He was a fast talking hustler who had his hand in everything illegal, if it meant a possible profit.

      Er’body knows you got the best hos Ezz, the man finally said. "I jus wanna make sure this thing here goes off without a hitch. You know these boys comin’ all the way in from LA, so we wanna make sure we show
