I thought this was the best book in the trilogy. I had a hard time putting this one down! I read it in a week which is fast for me since I work full-time and lead a busy life! I love Debbie Macomber books! They are fast moving, fast reading and she is so descriptive! If you like DM, you will love this book!

This is the final book in the Dakota Series by Debbie Macomber. It is a heartwarming book set in rural America. The book focuses on the people of Buffalo Valley, a small town that is coming back to life. The characters are interesting and come to life. The main characters fall in love, work out family relationships and mend fences. It is a good read.

This is the third and final book of the Dakota Trilogy. All three books were good reads.

In usual Macomber style this book is not just about the main characters but about characters who have been in the previous two books. Everything was finished up in this book and ended the series nicely.

I would suggest reading these books in order though or it can be a little difficult to follow with all the characters mentioned. The books in order are: Dakota Born, Dakota Home, & Always Dakota

This is a good light read for summer. I enjoy this author because she actual has a plot and doesn't write in the typical romance style.You also don't need to read the first two books to understand this one.

The last book of the series and it is too bad this series does not continue. I love Debbie Macomber books. I am always looking for books of hers that I have not read.

I quickly read all 3 books. The anticapation of the third killed me. This was my first experiance w/ this author and have now read most of her books. Always Dakota wrapped up everything you learned about everyone in this quaint little town of Buffalo Valley. A town I enjoyed so much i longed for a Buffalo Valley of my own! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. Im sure they will leave you longing for the series to continue. They are a great escape into an imaginary town with people I wish I knew.

Third in a romantic new trilogy.
Buffalo Valley, North Dakota, has become a good place to live the way it used to be, thirty or forty years ago. People here are feeling confident about the future again.

Stalled lives are moving forward. People are taking risks on new ventures and on lifelong dreams. On happiness. And one of those people is local rancher Margaret Clemens, who's finally getting what she wants most. Marriage to cowboy Matt Eilers. Her friends don't think Matt's such a bargain, neither did her father. But Margaret's aware of Matt's reputation and his flaws. She wants him anyway. And she wants his baby.

Local rancher Margaret Clemens is taking a chance on happiness, and going after what she wants for a change. And what she wants is marriage to cowboy, Matt Eilers. Regardless of what her friends and family say, and despite all the rumors, Margaret wants Matt anyway. Oh . . . and she plans on having his baby, too.

Please join me for my third -- and final -- visit to Buffalo Valley, North Dakota. This town exists only in my imagination, but its spirit and sense of community are definitely real. Buffalo Valley resenbles many places in my family's history, and perhaps in yours. If you've been to Buffalo Valley before, I invite you to come and visit the friends you've met their; if not, prepare to make some new ones.
