A New Dakotah Territory Saga From Bestselling Author Lauraine Snelling!
Book 1 of Dakotah Treasures. Author Lauraine Snelling once again takes readers west to the untamed land of Dakota Territory, introducing new characters both unique and appealing. Ruby Torvald and her young sister, Opal, have received an inheritance from their long-lost father who left home years ago to seek his fortune in the Black Hills. When they leave their comfortable situation in Chicago and arrive at the mining town of Medora to claim their inheritance, the sisters discover that rather than the legacy of gold they expected, their father has left them a shocking bequest. Ruby's bold determination in the face of scandal leads the reader on a journey both heartwarming and inspiring. |
This book wasn't badly written, by any means, but for me, personally, it went a bit slow and was kind of predictable. Perhaps I've read too many city girl to country mouse stories? Still, I love a good cowboy story, and as there were loose ends, I will probably continue reading the series.
I liked most of the characters, as some were very well written and came to life on the page for me. Like Belle. I love to hate Belle and her snotty antics! Bob says: 2.5 Platypires! |
