I picked these books up because they are set in my home state of New Mexico. Having been to the Taos river valley and the Taos Pueblo it was easy to picture the area this particular book is set. I have to say I am a sucker for any Tracie Peterson book so I was happy to find some of her earlier works. As always, she writes a sweet story filled with romance, and history, very cleanly written, and a happy ending!

I guess there was a #1 book that I have not read however, this one seemed to do alright by itself. Its the story of a woman that lost her husband and went into depression. She decides to visit a friend in New Mexico hoping to overcome the state she is in. The story involves those she meets while there and is forced to look to the future.

Perfect Love is the second novel and the continuing story of A Place to Belong. Here Maggie's best friend from childhood Lillie is starting out her life of a perfect marriage, with a perfect husband, a perfect child in her womb, and just all-around perfect love. Things begin to happen quickly, first Lille's husband becomes a Christian and she feels that she is losing him to a God that is not worth her money. Then she does lose her husband and her child. Lille thought she had it all and it is only when she is completely humbled and losing all material things, that she can see what she is missing. Here is where Dr. Monroe, a friend of Garrett's comes in... A widower of a wife lost in childbirth and an estranged Christian he understands Lillie's pain. It is by divine providence that they are both brought to the New Mexico ranch and both given second chances on life. Second chances through love and forgiveness as each has their own struggles and burdens to pass. In this story, a reader is able to experience the necessity of actions that God allows so that his will may be done. When you think you have something wonderful, it is hard to believe that sometimes God has something even better in mind for you, if you will just listen.

Sub-par until the ending, where it became average. Not anything special, but not anything terrible, either.
