"Great way to end the series, wish she wrote more though. Opal is such a high spirit, I though she was perfect for Jacob, though when Anticus married behind her back was sad. And the Amehyst and McHenry was sweet, I loved how McHenry was trying to express his love to her. :) "

— Melissa, 6/2/2012" Well done sequel and final of four. So many interesting characters and situations. I like how it all wrapped up. "
— Sandie, 5/16/2012" This was a great series. This is the last book. I like Red River of the North by Laurane Snelling slightly better but they are almost even. They both take place in the North Dakota territory which is so similar to my home in Montana. A very enjoyable author and series. "
— Joanne, 12/31/2011" Great story. Although I wish with each of her books that they not be over....I guess you can't go on forever. This was a 4 book series and I enjoyed each one equally, "

— Sherrill, 7/26/2011" A really interesting great read! I throughly enjoyed finishing up this series. I loved how the author tied in (this time) beautifully both of the stories of both finishing Opal's love story and introducing Amethyst and her story and love story! "
— Michelle, 6/22/2011" Not as enjoyable as the first two, but it was worth buying anyways! I think Lauraine Snelling ended the series rather well. I will continue to buy her books in the future! "
— Natalie, 6/15/2011" I loved this series! I just finished it and was sad because it is written in such a way you feel like you actually know these characters and will miss them! A very realistic view of life on the range and an easy read. "
