Dakota Home (Dakota Series #2)

A good book for the weekend

I did read this book the first time is came into print. From all three I did like this one the best! I love how the old fashion values come up against today's strong women. I have and still recommend this book to all my friends!

A grand read

I read books one and three of this trilogy and somehow missed book two. One and three were terrific so two has got to be terrific too. In fact, all of Debbie's book are good reads and would recommend her books to all that love a good story that's well written.

Enjoyable contemporary romance

In Buffalo Valley, North Dakota, new grocery storeowner Maddy Washburn refurbishes her store while falling in love with reclusive rancher Jeb McKenna, who lost a leg in a farm accident four years ago. Jeb¿s sister Sarah loves Jeb¿s friend Dennis, but still remains married to a philanderer she has not seen in a decade. Buffalo Bob loves his Buffalo Girl, but she flits back and forth into his life, leaving him heartbroken when she goes. Joanie and Brandon love each other, but seem heading towards divorce. Heath and Rachel make a perfect pair so why are they only occasionally dating? It appears none of these couples will find a lasting happiness in the foreseeable future.

New York Times best-selling author Debbie Macomber returns to Buffalo Valley, North Dakota to display the lives of several couples. Though complex with many subplots, the contemporary rural romance works because each character is fully developed and understood by the reader. As she did with the series first novel, DAKOTA BORN, Debbie Macomber provides her audience with a stirring novel that will surely return the popular writer to all the lists.

must read series....

Love Debbie Macomber books! the Dakota series is especially good. The characters are very real people making daily choices in the midst of their trials....

Much better than the first book in the series.

While Macomber's first book in the series, "Dakota Born," reads like a pile of notes girls pass in middle school, "Dakota Home" is far more mature and interesting. Macomber focuses on the most compelling residents of Buffalo Valley. After suffering through the non-problems of Gage Whinypants Sinclair and Lindsey McWhitebread in the first book, we are now treated to the brooding and sometimes bizzare lives of Buffalo Bob, Merrily, and Jeb. Also, bonus points for actually describing somewhat graphic sex in this one.

NOT lendable

Do not buy if you plan on lending as this is not lendable

A pretty good read

I really liked this book and the blizzard was an awesome and gripping part of the whoe story. I sort of thought that the distnace between the two main characters got a little draining in the middle. It left me wanting a little more. But all in all it was a real page turner.

Loved it!!

After reading 'Dakota Born', I enjoyed this 2nd book of the trilogy just as much. It was a great continuation of the people's lives and I'm looking forward to reading the last in the series, 'Always Dakota'. I highly recommend this series.

Want to read a great book?

This was my first Debbie Macomber book and was it great! Not until I finished reading it did I realized it was book 2, so I went right out and bought Dakota Born and then read Dakota Home again. I can't wait for the next book. In the meantime, I'm starting on the rest of Debbie Macomber's books.

Captivating

When I saw that book two in the trilogy was out, I bought it on site. I didn't put it down until I finished it, now I can't wait for the third book to be released. I felt like I was living right there among them. So alive...so real...so captivating. I hope you enjoy as much as I have.

What a page turner

It's a great book. I had a hard time putting it down. I read most of it in one night and stayed up until 1a.m. to get it finished. I can hardly wait until the next installment comes out.
