"Too Much of a Good Thing is tender, illuminating, and even sexy as Murray weaves this tale of two very different souls whose prayers were answered in a surprising way. The lessons shared are bittersweet as the story, which somehow rang with candid truism, emphasizes the many obstacles encountered when trying to blend families. The characters are believable and the make the obstacles more pronounced because of their diverse backgrounds and eclectic personalities. A plus for me was the persistence and dedication Shawna and Joe had to their own happiness without sacrificing the happiness of their children. Murray makes readers feel the story."
--aNN Brown, The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (4 1/2 Stars, A TRR FAVORITE)
 
"This is by far the best book I have ever read ... a true 'page turner' ... Murray reminded me how powerful 'Love' really is, how it can not only survive through hurt, pain, disease, death, financial struggle, prejudice, ignorance, loneliness, fear, grief, indifference, time, change, and every other family struggle but remain the victor of them all. I was truly moved by each emotion of this great story and pray that you continue to touch the souls of others as you have deeply touched mine through your novel."
--Evangelist Nicole Page, Acting Faith Ministries
 
"A sweet, inspirational romance ... Murray explores the blending of families, how to blend them, and how to blend them well ... For the first time ever, I read a book that featured children, rather than adults, as major secondary characters, and I absolutely loved them, understood their pain, and celebrated their successes ... It frequently left me in tears, tears brought on not by sadness, but because of the sweet beauty of the words on the page before me ... As you're reading, you smile and sniff, put your hand to your chest briefly, and say, 'Ooh ...,' then grab a tissue before the tear hits the page. Yeah ... it was THAT good."

"The modern day Brady Bunch. There were tons of laughs that brought on tears. Tears of bittersweet joy. The story is real and not some fairy tale. Murray shows the real truth when it comes to blending families. You so much want for this to work. You will be moved by their persistence and love for each other. I definitely recommend this to those that want to read a feel-good book."
--Donnica Copeland, APOOO Book Club and Sista Talk Book Club
 
"I've been a fan of Murray's for years now, but this is by far his best book. It's tender, it's sweet, it's full of faith and hope. And it's REAL. Two seemingly different people use faith, the blending of families, and life's irony to guide them toward a connection of life that is like no other. It's definitely worth the read."
