About this title

Review

Zach Burkett, illegitimate son of Cottonwood Creek's most prominent citizen, is bent on revenge. A witness to his mother's humiliation and ultimate death at the hands of paid thugs, Zach swears the good townsfolk will pay, and pay dearly. Just one thing stands in his way, he has to somehow gain their trust and convince them that he's a changed man in order to pull off his elaborate scheme. It takes just one look at the beautiful miracle girl of the traveling tent revival, to convince him that he's just found the perfect key to a decent reputation. Morality Brown, as fair as she is innocent, longs for something she's never had, freedom. Hopelessly destined to travel the healing ministry circuit with her Reverend uncle telling of her miracle deliverance at a young age, Morality sees Zach's inordinate attention increasingly flattering. When she finds herself holed up for four days in his cabin after an unexpected ice storm paralyzes any chance of escape, she finds his gracious offer to marry her, to save her reputation, almost a Godsend. Seeing an inherent goodness in him that Zach tries so hard to deny and having enough childlike faith to believe he is capable of redemption, Morality allows her desire for her husband to surface until she is forced to come to terms with his betrayal. Suddenly, she must learn the true meaning of faith, hope and love. Dishonesty, deception, fraud and even murder eventually prove no match for the powerful bond between this intriguing hero and the angel at his side. These mismatched lovers are so compelling - so touching - you'll find this one impossible to put down. Geralyn Dawson is a masterful storyteller with an extraordinary talent for leaving her readers sated and begging for more all at the same time. Tempting Morality combines dazzling characters, sparkling wit and a storyline filled with amazement to create a heavenly romance. With a wave of her pen, Geralyn Dawson carries her readers off on a magical experience.Lori Wright -- Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc. All rights reserved -- From Literary Times
