I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is the 3rd in a series of four and I found it better than the first two. I had never read any of Lauraine Snelling's books before starting this series, but will definitely read more of hers.
This book is terrific. You never want to put it down! Lauraine's books are so easy to visualize. I absolutely love this series! I wish there were more.

When Ruby Torvald marries rancher Rand Harrison, her sister, Opal takes to ranch life like a hummingbird to sugar water. She can outshoot, outride, and outwork any cowboy on the place. Ranching has clearly captured her heart. But when Opal makes a foolish though innocent decision, her dear friend Atticus is taken away from her, and she is consumed with feelings of guilt and self-recrimination. Will she ever see Atticus again?
