As winter settles over the ranch, the Engstrom brothers are much on the mind of Cassie Lockwood. The way Lucas smiles at her should set her heart to tripping. But it doesn't. Shouldn't there be some attraction to him if they are going to be married? His vow to make her love him does not seem to be working, no matter how considerate and charming he is.
Ransom Engstrom is another matter. After Cassie's train trip to a shooting competition, she realizes she misses Ransom more than Lucas. And then there's the look she caught Lucas sending Betsy Hudson at church one Sunday. Are she and Lucas drifting apart?
Meanwhile, Ransom has discovered that he cares for Cassie but can't bring himself to express his true feelings to her. When she leaves to join a Wild West show for the summer, will Ransom summon the courage to go after her?
Review:
A Place to Belong was a lovely finish to Lauraine Snelling's Wild West Trilogy.
Brought right back into the wonderful setting of a small town in South Dakota, the story picks up where is left off. It took me a little bit to get into the swing of things, but quickly fell back into the story.
In the final book, we finally get some answers, and issues resolved. Most importantly, we finally see the relationship between Cassie and Ransom, destined from the beginning of the series, finally grow and blossom. Ransom also finally dealt with issues he had been struggling with through the series.
Lauraine Snelling did a great job through the entire series, building characters, the setting, and story. I have really enjoyed getting to know each character. By the end of the series you really understand how each character thinks, and what you can expect of them. The small town of Argus, South Dakota is totally come to life in my mind. I can walk down the main road and envision the general store, church, and houses that make up the town. The story kept me on my toes, and threw my curve balls I didn't expect. It didn't progress as you would assume, which made it fantastic.
I would recommend this series to anyone who loved historical novels and looking for a good read.
