Maybe her other books had me spoiled, but this one never did hold my interest...ever.

Rainy Gordon and her twin brother are tour guides in the Southwest. Rainy is living with the ghost of accusation of theft. She spends her days among the very things she loves, yet has been accused- again- of stealing. She meets a man with similar loves and just when she thinks she has found the man God has picked out for her, she learns he has been paid to spy on her. Suddenly his attention and even his kiss mean nothing. Or do they?

I would still give Peterson the benefit of the doubt and purchase another book, but truthfully, this one was terribly, terribly lacking.

I orginially found this book in the library, and loved it! Definitely my favorite of the 3 Desert Roses books. It really sparks imagination- I can picture all of it in my head! The book is full of well written details. I have since read this book at least 4 more times, I just love the story!!

The third story in the Harvey Girl series was different and exciting. I enjoyed reading about a brother and sister team who found their dreams while working in the beautiful lands of New Mexico! Rainy and her twin sonny are both trying to find Gods will for their lives. Rainy has a secret and she is hoping that the past will stop trying to catch up with her. Sonny has realized his dream but is not sure how to embrace it without leaving his twin behind. This story has a mystery that kept me guessing throughout the book. I was both pleased and surprised at the ending. Tracie Petersen also gave an in depth description about the Hopi Indians and the problems they faced as a nation. I enjoyed this last story very much. As always I am looking forward to see what else Tracie has up her sleeve.

I felt the mystery just added a little extra to the story and I was pleased with all three books in this series.

If you are interested in Native American folklore and history, this book has much to offer. The writing style reminds me a bit of Janette Oke; however, I'm more of a fan of Tracie Peterson's other novels which I find more exciting and intriguing.
