Dakota Peace by Megan Kinney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the third contemporary book I’ve read this year – I’m generally a history-only gal – but I really enjoyed Dakota Peace. The setting is part of its charm. You don’t find too many books set in the Black Hills. Megan Kinney does a great job of bringing that setting to life. The hero and heroine are believable and likable, but not perfect, so also relatable. And that cover … honestly! … that cover would suck anyone into the book. Impressive debut novel for this author. I look forward to reading more from her.
