    Santiago Sol is an enchanting novella rife with shades of intrigue, nefarious characters, a mysterious artifact, and a romantic puzzle begging to be solved. The hero in this novella, Sebastian, (love that name) is a handsome man of old world charm and mystery. The heroine, writer Tansy Chastain, is someone I could completely root for and relate to, a young woman on a quest. Months later, I can clearly recall many scenes from the book (great sensory engagement) and I felt for this woman who was all alone in a strange land. How delightful to find that while she started out merely fulfilling an old friend’s final wish, the circuitous path she set out on was right where God wanted her to be. With strong well-written characters and lush settings, this very sweet romance swept me away to an exotic South American locale. I will eagerly await more from this author.

    Santiago Sol was my first journey with Niki Turner. The story begins with Tansy holding the frail hand of a former missionary she’d been interviewing. The elderly woman insists Tansy hand deliver a stolen heirloom to the Sandoval family. The adventure takes Tansy from Denver to Chile. Sebastian Sandoval flies from Miami to Santiago. He’s attracted to the nervous beauty whose hazel eyes “ratcheted the hum into a buzz at the base of his skull.” They part at landing, but Tansy needs to avail herself of Sebastian’s offer to help before she leaves the airport. “Tansy settled into a leather seat that hugged her tired frame like a lover.” Sigh. Ms. Turner has a way with phrases, surprises, and intrigue. I read the story with avid appreciation, and look forward to my next trip with Niki Turner.
