The saga of the Lucas, Monroe, and Dawson families, introduced in New Mexico Sunrise, echoes across the vast open landscape of a state in its infancy. Now the next generation must take up the pioneer spirit of their parents and lay claim to their place in a changing world. Pamela Charbonneau thought The Heart's Calling was leading her back to Colorado - and her forbidden love - but it takes a sudden turn when she forges a friendship with Jim Williams. Can she find her destiny along the barren westward trail? Feeling stifled by her overprotective father, Daughtry Lucas answers an advertisement and becomes Mrs. Nicholas Dawson in a marriage by proxy. Will this marriage between strangers succeed, or will Forever Yours remain a distant dream because of Nick's dark past? Angelique Monroe can't resist a worthy cause, and this time Angel's Cause is the women's suffrage movement. But her lifelong friend, Gavin Lucas, doesn't trust her new political acquaintances. Who will Angel rely on when her life is on the line? Joelle Dawson and John Monroe pledged their love and promised to marry in Come Away My Love, but the cruelties of life have victimized them both. Can they find healing together, or are their hearts broken beyond repair? You'll be captivated by this collection of four complete novels by award-winning author Tracie Peterson. The tales of inspiring love in New Mexico Sunset are stories you'll treasure for years to come.

Meet the grown children from New Mexico Sunrise,
By
This review is from: New Mexico Sunset: The Heart's Calling/Forever Yours/Angel's Cause/Come Away, My Love (Inspirational Romance Collection) (Paperback)
After book one, the author fast forwards a few decades and introduces the adult children of the first book. It is done very well, with enough of the familiar to make the reader comfortable, enough new to keep interest and more than enough intrigue for me!There are, again, four short books in one. The first, The Heart's Calling, is Pamela's story. She is a rebellious young woman who loves the shady Brady. Her parents attempt to stop this destined to fail romance and send her away to live with her grandmother. While there, sulking and hoping to run away, she is suddenly abducted, but not by the man she hopes has come for her. Threading the story back to book one, the reader immediately knows why the kidnapping happened and who it was intended to save. However, I am not sure who was the more surprised, the kidnapper or the victim! Forever Yours follows, with 23 yr. old independent, stubborn Daughtry Lucas trying to escape the smothering she perceives she is getting from her father, Garrett. As a remedy, she secretly answers a mail order bride ad. She decides to suddenly run away to accomplish her "freedom" all the while having no idea that even as she is using Nicholas Dawson, he is using her as well! He is her ticket to freedom from her home and father, and he, himself has a less than open and fair agenda. In number three, Angeline is chasing the cause of womens' right The last story takes place a little later still - Come Away My Love. Joelle Dawson plans to marry the handsome pilot son of the local town doctor, Daniel Monroe. Howver, while they are engaged, John's horrible accident threatens their relationshop and redirects their lives. When John finds himself paralyzed, Joelle has some serious decisions to make. John tries to make her hate him for the less than whole man he has become. She, on the other hand makes his recovery her purpose in life. In the small Texas town of his rehab, a horrible, violent accident takes its toll on Joelle. This time, it's not only physical, it is mentally, emotionally and sexually destructive. How do these two young Christians in love survive the incredible odds of ever finding happiness? This last story was my favorite of them all. You will be surprised with the ending of this wonderful Tracie Peterson duo set in the young New Mexico wilderness.

Much to her shock, she finds out that it isn't her love, but a complete stranger named Jim.

They leave Jim for dead and take Pamela for ransom. In all this turmoil both Jim and Pamela grow up enough to realize who they really love. In "Forever Yours" Daughtry Lucas runs away from home when her father and brothers become to overbearing. She sees an advertisement for a bride in the paper and she writes to him. When he writes back she is quite taken by the way he signs his letter. Forever Yours. In one last attempt to reason with her father, he refuses to back off, so she leaves that night to become Mrs. Nicholas Dawson. They are married by proxy and she arrives at her new home, but Nicholas is nowhere to be seen. She spends days cleaning the house and falling more and more in love with her husband, who she has yet to meet. When Nicholas finally arrives he realizes how much God has blessed him with this little wife of his. Both hide a secret from each other, one is hiding from her father, the other from a group of outlaws. As they face each of there pasts their relationship grows, as does their love. "Angel's Cause" is all about a strong minded girl who always has a certain cause. This time she's taken up the women's suffrage movement. She runs from home to join her new political friends and her parents send Gavin Lucas out to fetch her home. Gavin becomes more and more worried about her as he overhears conversations of her so-called friends. He then comes to her rescue when she needs him the most. and finally in "Come Away My Love" Joelle and John plan to be married until John is in a plane crash and is in danger of never walking again. Joelle tells him that it doesn't matter and that she can support them both. But he thinks if he can't support her like a proper husband then she must find someone else. Joelle is determined and she slowly brings him around, until tragedy strikes again. When renegades attack to kill all soldiers, Joelle and John's mother try to hide him and Joelle goes out to try and hold them off. When all is clear, and John's mother goes out to find Joelle, she meets with a horrible sight. Feeling used and unclean, Joelle refuses to see John, thinking she is no longer worthy of him. He begs her not to do this to herself but when she finds she is with child she runs away. John begins to learn to walk again with one thought on his mind, to go and bring Joelle, his only love, home . . . New Mexico Sunset is a wonderful set of stories. I've read them all a countless amount of times. Tracie Peterson is a marvel in the way she intertwines faith and life so there is no longer a difference, but they become one and the same.
