Danger in the Desert Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 6 ratings

When Karen Baker goes to a holiday party at the exclusive Del Rey Beach Club with her best friend Ginny, standing in for Ginny’s husband who was traveling for business, she meets a man who presents himself as William F. Powell, an international businessman. He seems respectable so when he gives her his card and asks for her phone number she gives it to him.
Several weeks later he calls and asks for a date. She accepts and has a pretty good time. They date for a month or so before they fly away on his corporate jet for a weekend in Napa. It is there they are intimate for the first time. It is also where things begin to change.
The next time Bill calls he tells her what they’ll do. Karen doesn’t want to be told rather than asked so she declines the date. He is not happy. When she declines the next date his behavior changes even more and he becomes threatening.
As Bill becomes more insistent and more demanding his anger grows and he gets physical. She feels she is in danger.
Now, Karen is running away. She knows what she’s running from, but what is she running to?

I started "Danger in the Desert" this afternoon looking to fill some idle time. The story hooked me in the first two pages and I could not put it down. I finished the book in one sitting. Characters were clear, names were easy to identify and a lot of suspense. I was not sure of the ending until I turned the last page.
Loved my afternoon reading !

Sandra Givens does not disappoint! This was a curious story and once I started it, I could not put it down. There is romance, intrigue, and a little bit of a sinister edge. Great job Sandra!!!

Sandra is good at writing stories that make you want another to extend the story line.

4.0 out of 5 stars she takes a different tack...
Reviewed in Spain on March 26, 2023
i love the beginning of this.
the darkness, the speed, the layers,
the build-up and the tumbling down,
the unravelling and the ending
(i got the ending before i got there, but
only be the skin of my teeth)
a page-turner
(and because i read a lot in bed)
it had me on the edge of my pillow…

would be a great little film…
