A nice, pleasant story about small town America. ( )

second in the series. When Maddy comes to town for Lyndsey's wedding, she decides to buy the local grocery store and plant roots. Rancher Jeb catches her eye, but he dead set on being a loner until a multitude of circumstances and meddlers through them together. ( )

The second book in the Dakota series which furthers the story of the the folks living in Buffalo Valley. This book could be read and followed without reading the first one. There would be some character details and stories that you would miss, but this one follows an entirely different group of characters than the first. This is a pretty solid and predictable story, if you're looking for a surprise or a lot action this one probably won't work for you. This story like the first one tends to focus on folks, their lives, and what they think but not necessarily say. ( )

I enjoyed this second installment of Macomber's series. As in the previous novel, I wish that the characters had not engaged in pre-marital sex. She resolved most of the conflicts in the book; however, there are two that are not yet resolved that I suspect will be among the main conflicts in the third book of the series. ( )
