Book Description:
Dakotah Territory offers a freedom she had never known. But will she be able to claim it as her own?

Amethyst Colleen O'Shaunasy travels west to find her father's heir. But when she discovers Joel in Dakotah Territory, she uncovers shocking news. How will she tell her overbearing father? And how will he react when he learns she's not coming home?

Major Jeremiah McHenry has retired from the army and returns to Dakotah Territory to make a new life. Amethyst is touched by his kind and gentlemanly manner, and soon he's captured her heart. But does he see her as merely a servant rather than a prospective bride?

Jacob Chandler is counting the days until he is able to court Opal Torvald. Can he prove to her that she will make a fine preacher's wife?

While the story line was good, not great, but good, there were too many other errors that I found it difficult to overlook. Continuity errors such as someone thought someone was pregnant and was going to ask, and we never hear anything more about it. There were other issues as well such as a line that I think was meant to be a tag line at the end of a paragraph but it is so unclear...it just leaves more questions, and in an annoying way not a "oo-I want to see what's going to happen next" kinda way.

Also, in most series, the author takes time to explain who the characters are and how they are related. In this one, the author feels that her readers have read the earlier ones and therefore does not need to explain who everyone is. Since I did NOT read the earlier ones, I found it difficult to follow for the first half of the book.

Had I not read any other Snelling books, I would never pick up another!

Amethyst was a heart warming book. I wanted it to keep on going. Unfortunately, this was the last book of the series of four. Lauraine Snelling is a very intertaining author.

Didn't anyone else get creeped out that the "young minister" who wanted Opal was old enough to have an illegitmate son who was around eight, and Opal (who takes up so much of this novel it should have been named after her "Opal II") was only 14!!! Uh, folks, nowadays that is called child molestation!

The fourth book in the Dakotah Treasures series winds up the stories of Ruby, Opal and Pearl while introducing Amethyst to readers.
The tale that Lauraine Snelling is able to weave with this series is magical and heartwarming.
