My Review:This book is the third installment on the McDougal Sisters series and is all about Margot and Roy Lee. Roy Lee grew up on the ranch next to the McDougal ranch. As a result, he's always been friend and pseudo-big-brother to all the girls. About a year ago, he and Margot started dating, but things were so complicated then that they kept it a secret.What I liked about this book:*I still really enjoy the interaction between the five sisters and the town.*This is a small town and it gossips accordingly. Having the town sheriff and the town vet involved is big news, esp. since they both grew up here.*I liked the basics of the story line with Ryan. I thought that there was the potential there for a really great story.What I didn't like about this book:*The way Ryan is presented. He is a complete caricature of a city slicker and didn't seem like a real person at all.*The real conflict between Margot & Roy Lee didn't start until at least halfway through the book. Before that, nothing was really happening as momentum in the story.This book had all the groundwork for a great story line. Unfortunately, for me, the follow through just fell a little short.
