A Place to Belong / Lauraine Snelling / 376 pages

This is the third in the Wild West Trilogy by Christian author Lauraine Snelling.  Cassie, who was left alone after the wild west show she starred in went broke, arrived with her two companions at the ranch in South Dakota.  She is living with the Engstroms and actually owns half of the ranch, an inheritance from her father.  She is engaged to Lucas, but doesn't love him.  What should she do?  
Ultimately, she will end up with the other brother, but he seems to hate her.  How will this come about?  It is an interesting time in the west.  The early 1900's were a transition between the old and new ways. It is a great setting and Lauraine Snelling has specialized in this era of history and culture so it is a great way to time travel.  (I just wonder how these people could eat that many cookies, gingerbread, and apple cake without gaining a ton of weight.)  I also would like to see another trilogy based on these characters as she has done in the past.  Ransom has definite anger issues and is very rigid.  Cassie might marry him, but that won't resolve his basic problems.  I would like to see how he handles marriage and how he could possibly change.
