Dianne and Cole Selby have worked hard and now have the largest, most prosperous cattle ranch in the area, but for how long? Their family and friends are large, happy, close and safe, but can and will it last?

Evil lurks and continues seemingly unchecked in the form of Portia and Chester, a couple so greedy and jealous they will stop short of nothing, even multiple murders if necessary. They are determined to drive out the Selbys even if they have to lie, cheat and do horribly evil things. Chester has two of his sons working with him and of course his biggest asset of all is his wife (or is she really a liability?). A big surprise comes from two of the evil family's children. The reader will enjoy the challenge this brings.

Ardith has finally found love and happiness, but can she keep it? Takes Many Horses has a life changing experience as does the oldest Chadwick son, Trenton. However, probably the biggest, most suspenseful moment comes when Trenton suddenly is done away with very suspiciously.

Dianne is having a hard time allowing Cole to be the head of her home, the leader of the ranch. She is so strong willed that she has nearly cost them their marriage, but can she learn? WILL she even try? Tracie keeps the reader on the edge of their seats!

Tracie has managed to incorporate many different races, cultures and surprises in this book in spite of the historical and spiritual emphasis. The Indians still face problems and are now living on reservations to which many of them recoil. I can see several more books in this series.

Thanks again, Tracie Peterson.

This whole series kept me totally engaged. I read each of the books in about 1 or 2 days. I totally recommend!

I like this bok very much so. I believe Cynthia (shes the villian I think...haven't read this book in a while) anyways, she gets a taste of her own medicine (love it btw!) I haven't read the including books, but I really lked this!!!!!!!

This is a super book. As they struggle to make life workable and survive in a country that is considered open range. Between the different groups of Indians to the gready neighbors they have a rough time of life in the west. Their strong belief in God is what carries them through.

Although I enjoyed this book, I feel it's the weakest in the Heirs of Montana series (so far - there's one more!). We are inside too many characters' heads in this novel. With that many points of view, events felt rushed and not fully explored as a means of character development - as if Peterson had to cram a certain number of plot elements into the book. There are some excellent insights into how Cole thinks and the unexpected transformation of Takes Many Horses that I would have liked to see expanded upon. Still looking forward to the next one!

This is Book No.3 in the Heirs of Montana series and they seem to get better and better.The main character, Dianne has such strength and fortitude - the Lord being her mainstay and she always comes through accepting God's plans for her and for Cole, her husband - her heart, however, always wanting to settle in this land of Montana.
This is one of the best series by Tracie Peterson

This book is as wondeful as the first two. It gives a clear picture of what life is like knowing Jesus and what it can be like if you don't.

I almost quit reading after I got into this book #3 of the series.
I am so glad I did not. There was so much happening, to pull the characters together, I started to doubt the story line. Tracie Peterson pulled these people together in their quest for family, peace and love of the Lord as well as the wonderful, difficult land they were determined to make a home.
I recommend the whole series of Heirs of Montana to those who love history and fiction. The series is Christian Fiction of the highest quality.

Very interesting, shows how the pioneers were tough and rugged individuals to survive the new frontier.
