Review: Five stars is not enough to rate this book. I give this book an absolute 10. I have never read a book so inspiring, so wonderful, so full of everything that your looking for in a book. It's a page turner from beginning to end. I love the way the author quoted scriptures, that in fact helped to encourage and up lift me. Very inspirational. I just can't rave anymore about this book. This is by far one of the best books I have ever read in my life. I love the way Victor Christopher Murray made you feel Kyla and Jefferson's pain, their sorrow, their joys, their happiness. I mean she really made you feel what each character was going through. She just could not have done a better job. Oh and Brian and Alexis, Couldn't have happened to a better couple. I thank God for blessing Ms. Murray with such enormous talent. Truly his hand was in this. Victoria Christopher Murray, continue looking to the hills from whence cometh your help and know that he will do the rest. I will definetly be looking forward to reading more of her work. I would recommend this book to all. You won't be dissapointed.

Summary: Highly recommended
Review: I enjoyed reading this book, but sometimes I thought the characters were too good to be true. I realize it is a work of fiction, but it does serve as a model of how we need to confront problems as Christians. I appreciated all the scriptural references they used to support what they were doing. I even liked the female pastor dynamic that was present. I liked Temptation better than Joy, but would recommend them both.

Summary: Temptation
Review: Jefferson and Kyla Blake had the perfect marriage, however, their world was shattered during one night of deception. When Kyla's best friend, Jasmine, seduces Jefferson, he doesn't resist and he jeapordizes his marriage and family. However, with a lot of prayer and guidance from the Lord, Kyla learns to forgive her husband and Jefferson repents for his sins. They renew their vows, pledging their love for one another.

I found this book to be an exciting read. I was eager to turn the pages to find out what happened next. However, I did find it odd that Jefferson fell into bed with Jasmine so willingly. I felt that he should have had more restraint, especially for a Christian man.

Also, I thought it was odd that the female minister in this story did not tell Kyla and Jefferson that the Bible states infidelity is the only sin that's grounds for divorce in a marriage. She encouraged Kyla to forgive Jefferson and accept him back into her life. I felt that the couple needed more time apart and that Kyla should have made sure that this was the "only" time that Jefferson could be so "easily" seduced by a woman.

I did like the fact that Jasmine apologized for her behavior and turned to the Lord at the end. She needed spiritual guidance.
