[.ca] Dakota Home (ISBN 0778323935)

From Amazon.com:
New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber returns to Buffalo Valley, North Dakota, a close-knit farming community struggling to survive in an increasingly industrial world. "Never say die" is the motto for Buffalo Valley and its resilient citizens, including newcomer Maddy Washburn, first introduced in Dakota Born, her best friend, teacher Lindsay Sinclair, Lindsay's husband, Gage, and Jeb McKenna, a local rancher whose tragic accident has left scars much deeper than the loss of his leg. More and more isolated since the tractor calamity, Jeb does not welcome pretty Lindsay's friendly overtures. But when Lindsay is stranded in a vicious winter storm, Jeb saves her life, warming her with his own body heat--and steamy caresses. Jeb feels the ice encasing his heart start to thaw with each sweet embrace. In this second installment in a trilogy, longtime Macomber fans and new recruits will welcome Buffalo Valley's extensive cast of quirky characters with open arms. --Alison Trinkle

the separation was too long:
Although I liked the characters, for the most part, they were infuriating in their stubborness about staying apart. I felt that the author dragged out the separation too long just to draw out the tension. It just didn't feel real to me. I also hated the love scene because it made it seem as though any other way to make love, aside from the "missionary position" isn't normal.

Wonderful Series:
You will not want to put this series down! I hope Debbie writes another series about this town! LOVED it and the people involved! Real life problems and real life feelings! Loved it!

Way to go, DM!:
This book was fantastic, I could not put it down! I had to keep reading until I finished it(at 3 a.m.)! DM is one of my favorite authors. She brings the characters to life, so much that you feel like you know them personally. Buffalo Valley seems alot like the small town my mother grew up in. I went there to visit every summer as a kid and I loved it. Her attention to detail and description is fantastic. I like the way she included the minutes from the town council meetings at the beginning of the chapters. Awesome!!!

I Just LOVE These Books !!!:
I have decided after I finish this series to read ALL of her books !! She is such an awesome writer. You feel like the people are real and you can relate to them. I am starting on the third one now !!!

COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN:
I read this wonderful book in 3 hours i just could not put it down. I found myself, like others wishing for a place just like Buffalo Valley. I cried , laughed and read on and on all night. I am looking foward to the 3rd book. I just love that each book picks up where the others have left off. I hope that Debbie comes out with more and more I would love to see what happens to everyone in these stories.......
