Leslie Garcia's Unattainable opened my eyes to a part of the world I know little about - mainly the Tex-Mex boarder. Dell Rosales manages her deceased father's ranch. In addition to trying to revive a horse breeding program, she also takes in troubled youth to help them know a life with love.  Jovi Trevino comes on board in theory to help with the horses, but really he's trying to help his former DEA colleagues get the skinny on the "Inalcanzable" and her role in a suspected drug smuggling operation.  Jovi's desire for justice meets conflict when he discovers Dell is truly unattainable and is in fact desirable. Will he be able to sort out the truth regarding the drug smuggling and Dell?I loved the setting and the casual nature of Spanish words thrown in conversations, but also how the phrases were always explained. The strong regional voice pulled me in.  The relationships between the characters breathed with lived in vitality. Leslie Garcia is one to watch.I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.
