Beyond the Desert Sands

Love on the Santa Fe, Book 2

By: Tracie Peterson

Narrated by: Alma Cuervo

After living an opulent life with her aunt for the last few years, the last thing 25-year-old Isabella Garcia wants is to have to celebrate Christmas in the small silver-mining town her father and mother founded in the desert. She'd rather stay in California with the handsome Diego Morales, who is courting her. Isabella is further miffed to have to bear the company of Aaron Bailey, a businessman with the Santa Fe Railroad, whom her father has sent to escort her safely home. Aaron finds Isabella spoiled, and she finds him judgmental.

But she is surprised to see how much the town of Silver Veil has grown and how fragile her father's health has become. Then Diego shows up with news that her aunt has died. Isabella is saddened by the loss of not only her aunt, but also her place of escape.

Faced with all these changes, she struggles to sort through her future and who she wants to be. But trouble is brewing, and there are those who hope Isabella stays just as she is, even if it costs her everything.

I couldn’t go to sleep!

A great story and I really like this author.
However I don’t care for this narrator. She sounds much to old for the part of Isabella, who is only 25.
I appreciate the reference to God and the fact he guides our lives.
