Review from the reviewer for the Dallas Morning News....
Closing the pages to TEMPTATION...is like saying goodbye to your best friend. Kyla and Jefferson Blake have an idyllic life as upper-middle class African Americans. Their life is filled with activities associated with work, community leadership and rearing their precocious daughter, Nicole. Then tragedy strikes in the form of betrayal and the life they knew and loved is forever changed. The story of Kyla and Jefferson is as old as Adam and Eve. In fact, that is what makes this book so special and in the opinion of this critic, unique. Murray has written a Christian novel complete with scripture references and a road map for using that Christianity as a normal part of daily life. She succeeds in making readers so closely identify with her characters' approach to life that regardless of the reader's faith, the understanding of what faith can add to one's life is a message that sticks even when one finishes the book. Murray's approach is different. The characters so thoroughly live their faith that when they quote scripture, it sounds natural. This is an outstanding first-time effort. Overall, Murray gives us a wonderful story that offers something for everyone, regardless of their faith.
