At Bluebonnet Lake by Amanda Cabot
4.0
Introducing a cast of likeable characters, At Bluebonnet Lake is a great kick-off to Amanda Cabot's Texas Crossroads series.
--------
The characters at Rainbow's End (and in the neighboring small town of Dupree) are the strength of this novel. Most of them are people I would like to get to know in real life. Grandma Sally, adorable older gentleman Roy, Samantha the boot maker, Lauren and her precocious daughter Fiona, and Carmen the cook are characters I look forward to reading more about. I actually enjoyed the friendships between characters more than I did the romance between Kate and Greg. In fact, some of the romantic scenes were a bit too sappy for me (surprising, considering my affection for the sap the Hallmark Channel puts out on a regular basis). But the great characters and engaging plot kept me flipping the pages.
I won't be continuing the Texas Crossroads series for the romance, but I will be continuing it for the characters. I'm excited to read what comes next! 3-1/2 stars.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Revell through the Revell Reads program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
