Young Leah Carlson is saddled with running the ranch of her increasingly ne'er-do-well father, Charlie Pape. Heart-sick over his wife's death years before, Charlie visits the saloon and leaves more and more of the day-to-day running of the ranch to Leah and the ranch foreman. Charlie's son,and
Steven Harding, a bank teller, and brother of Beth (from Wishing on Buttercups, the previous book),is unable to extend a bank loan. He then thinks to lend aid by renting a room at the ranch and helping with the ranch chores. This way he can also be close to Leah, of whom he is becoming fond.
This is the third full-length book in the Love Blossoms in Oregon series by Miralee Ferrell. Set in the 1880's in Oregon, the book grabs your attention because the characters grapple with issues that are troublesome today: betrayal, deceit, desertion, inability to trust, pride, sharp tongue, forgiveness, sibling rivalry for parent affection,etc. Miralee uses skillful word pictures, fun characters, well-timed humor, and beautiful prose to present her enduring stories of love and the Old West. Not to be missed!
Although this is the third in a series, fourth if you count the novella, Forget Me Not, it stands alone well. I was provided an advance copy of this book by the author in exchange for a review.

I really enjoyed the fourth book in this great series. I have read and appreciated two of the other books in this series and this one did not disappoint either. I enjoy books set in the past which give me insight of how it was like to live on a ranch. Leah lives on a ranch with her father and due

Miralee Ferrell has a writing style that pulls you into the pages of her books. Dreaming on Daisies invites you into the lives and romance of characters briefly mentioned in previous books within this series. Her characters are so real--you will find strong personalities, people who learned to look
I have found this book to be very enjoyable. In fact, I have enjoyed this story the most from the Love Blossoms in Oregon Series. The banter between characters and the events that transpire throughout the story are what draw me.
