Have you ever read a book that was so good a second away from it was too long? Dakota Home is one of those books. The second book in the Dakota trilogy is nothing less than five stars.
Maddy, Lindsay Snyder Sinclair's best friend, has moved to Buffalo Valley to make a new home. She meets Jeb McKenna, the town loner. Maddy wants to befriend Jeb but he tries everything to avoid her until Maddy is caught in a blizzard and calls him for help. While being trapped in the storm together for a few days at Jeb's ranch (without electricity) Jeb and Maddy become lovers. Afterwards Jeb realizes he made a mistake in becoming lovers with Maddy because even though he has feelings for her he doesn't think he is the right man for her. They each try to change their feelings for each other while fighting those feelings.
Dakota Home is a great sequel to Dakota Born. Even though it is the second book in the trilogy it stands on it's own so if you haven't read Dakota Born you won't be lost. Ms. Macomber refreshes your memory as to the characters and their background. All of the characters in the first book are in Dakota Home and their stories continue. All of the characters are such ordinary, everyday people that the book is very believable and entertaining at the same time. I was especially drawn to Brandon and Joanie. Their story was very touching and well written. It was very easy to sympathize with them. I would have liked to seen more of them in the book.
Dakota Home is a quick read that will hook you from the start and leave you wanting more!
