Sands of Sirocco

The Windswept WW1 Saga, Book 2

By: Annabelle McCormack

Narrated by: Elizabeth Grace

Return to a world of secrets, love, and spies in this historical novel of epic romance, dangerous deceit, and gripping adventure in the Middle Eastern front of the Great War, the second book of The Windswept WWI Saga by author Annabelle McCormack.

Egypt, 1917: British nurse Ginger Whitman thought she escaped the intrigue that devastated her family and threatened her life on the desert sands of WWI Palestine. But when she’s drafted into an investigation for the Cairo Intelligence Department, she uncovers forces at work to destroy the man she loves: intelligence officer Noah Benson.

As an old enemy resurfaces, Ginger and Noah are pulled into a minefield of lies, greed, and political deception that threatens the stability of the British alliance. With an enemy that knows their secrets, no one they love is safe. But nothing is what it seems—and a far more nefarious foe may be toying with them both.

Sands in Sirocco is the second novel in the Windswept WW1 Saga, a historical fiction series featuring a strong female protagonist. A story of spies, family drama, romance, and epic adventure, it is set in the British Middle Eastern front of WWI. This novel contains violence and romantic, steamy moments.

Sequel to Windswept

I was excited to see this sequel upon reviewing my author list, looking for a good listen. I listened to Windswept again, and then dove into this book.
I recommend the book, which is primarily a love story, in the Middle East after WWI. It's historical fiction, and brings my attention to the region of Egypt and Palestine and the British involvement there. This is not a political or controversial book, but more s love story and espionage adventure. I look forward to the third and final book of the series, to be released in September 2023.

Not Disappointed!

I had been waiting to read the second book in the series until the audio book was available. The wait was worth it! The story kept me guessing. Noah was as swoon worthy are ever and Ginger just a clever and daring. Elizabeth Grace is also my new favorite narrator. I enjoyed her duel perspective performance more than I have enjoyed any male and female narrator pair in recent memory.

The intrigue was phenomenal

An amazing follow up to book one, the storyline was super fun, highly recommended. Narration was on point and added weight to the events of the story. Highly recommended
