Dakota Born

I finished the first book of the Dakota Trilogy by Debbie Macomber, Dakota Born. This book was first published a number of years ago and it does not have the same polish as Macomber's later novels. My favorite series by this author is the Cedar Cove Series. Dakota Born has a typical formula. The heroine, Lindsay, moves to the remote town of Buffalo Valley, North Dakota. She meets a man and they spend the entire book trying not to fall in love. The ending is predictable. That is not to say that it was not enjoyable. I will probably read through the rest of the trilogy. The story introduces a lot of characters and leaves you wondering how their lives turn out. Another series I've enjoyed by Debbie Macomber is the Blossom Street series.
