The three books in this series were such compelling reading that I finished all three in less than a week. These three stories (see below) should be read in order; they are connected in very important ways. This story is a continuation of the Langtry sisters' lives. Essentially, this is one long saga broken into three parts. The three girls left five years ago and have individually returned to Whispering Pines and their grandmother.

This story is about Emma, the eldest Langtry daughter. She is an opera star and has traversed the world, giving performances. She is giving a concert in Denver and then taking a month off to vacation with her siblings and grandmother. Granny has already decided that Clay Hunt, the handsome preacher of Whispering Pines, is meant for Emma. This young woman is self-assured and intimidated by few. However, a French prince comes to America hoping to convince Emma to marry him.

The beauty of this last story is that all the characters from the previous books are again here. In this story, their brother, Frank Langtry, an outlaw and ne'er-do-well, meets his fate. I don't want to ruin the surprise for readers and so I won't add any more info about him.

I thought some things were too much (Emma being an opera star and having a prince chase her to America) and Clay Hunt getting his prized possession back seemed impossible. Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed all three books. Since I've finished all of Scarlett Dunn's historical novels, I plan to try her two contemporary mysteries. I wish she could write faster.
