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 !!!

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.......

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!

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.

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!!!

Its been a while since I read the first of the trilogy " Dakota Born", and after reading "Dakota Home" I can't believe I waited this long to return to Buffalo Valley!

The main story line is about Jeb; 4 years ago he was in a horrible farming accident and has never fully recovered until Maddy came crashing into his world. Maddy is Lindsey's best friend, and decides at Lindseys wedding that she is going to move and make a new life for herself in Buffalo Valley.

Buffalo Bob and his Buffalo gal have came back with twists of there own, which I'm sure will keep you reading. Does the Buffalo Gal stay and make Bob happy, that was one of the questions I had when I finished "Dakota Born". And a answer you will get !

And the rest of the gang comes back to Lindsey and Gage, Sarah, Calla and Denise and many more.

This was a great read for me, I couldn't put it down. If you liked "Dakota Born", You will love "Dakota Home"!

Reading a romance is something I always thought guys do NOT do (besides, they're always so sappy, right?) but not this trilogy! Ms. Macomber has gotten herself another loyal fan with this trilogy! (And since guys aren't supposed to like, or even read, romance novels I'll just have to get used to doing all my reading in a closet, using a flashlight!)

This is the third in the series. I love the way debbie lets you see more into the life of everyone and not just the main characters. She has done a wonderful job bring the town to life.

While this might be a good book for someone's first DM encounter. I found it looking alot like Alaska and Promise, Texas series. Same plots, different characters. I guess that is why I was so bored with it. It's not like DM to be so explicit with her sex, either. If you want a good DM read, return to her older books.

Everytime I read a Debbie Macomber book I wonder why I don't read more of them. I enjoy her easy-going style so much. With over 100 books to her credit, it's difficult to read them all but I am sure going to try! Jeb McKenna is a North Dakota bison rancher who had lost a leg in a farming accident four years earlier and has been somewhat of a recluse ever since. His sister has tried a ploy to get him to meet a newcomer to town, Maddy Washburn (friend of Lindsay Snyder Sinclair, heroine from the first book) who has just moved to the tiny town of Buffalo Valley, North Dakota after having been somewhat responsible for a terrible tragedy in her job as a social worker back in Savannah. Maddy and Jeb are attracted to each other but Jeb feels that he is totally unworthy of a woman such as her. But when a blizzard forces Maddy to take refuge at Jeb's house for several days, all that changes. Debbie tackles the difficult issue of the mechanics of Jeb making love to Maddy wearing his prosthesis in a delicate and realistic manner. I am absolutely falling in love with this hero and in the fictional town of Buffalo Valley which reminds me a lot of the little North Dakota town where my father was raised. She has kept me up past 2 AM now three nights in a row (first with DAKOTA BORN and now with DAKOTA HOME). I highly recommend this series which will conclude with ALWAYS DAKOTA in May.
