At Bluebonnet Lake by Amanda Cabot
4.0
I've read all of Amanda Cabot's historical novels, but At Bluebonnet Lake is her first contemporary romance - and the start of a new series. Granted, it's been out for a year now (REVELL, October 2014) but I'm just now getting to it. What a treat I was missing!
The scenery, painted across the page by Ms. Cabot's talented hand, captivated me. From the placid Bluebonnet Lake to the fields of bluebonnets themselves, I was about ready to hop in the car for a road trip!
I really enjoyed reading about Kate and Greg - they were sweet and fun together, and I'd love to just hang out with them for an afternoon or so. But, Sally and Roy took me by surprise and completely stole my heart! Those two made me tear up more than once - or grin like a sap - or both at the same time. Add Carmen and KOB and the people of Dupree & you have a cast of characters that truly shines.
Speaking of characters, the author has promised at least two more trips to Rainbow's End. I'm looking forward to each stay already :)
Bottom Line: A sweet, gentle romance with strong and endearing characters and a plot that will tug at your heart. If you've read Amanda Cabot's historicals, you will really enjoy her first foray into the contemporary market as well. Fans of Irene Hannon's or Robin Lee Hatcher's contemporary romances will find a lot to love about At Bluebonnet Lake too!
