At Bluebonnet Lake
by Amanda Cabot
This is the first book I've read by Amanda Cabot, but I understand that under her various names, Cabot is, at heart, a romance writer. And she's done that again with her new Texas Crossroads series. At Bluebonnet Lake is the first in the series, and it meets both people and places at a "crossroads" in their lives. Whether it is a question of confronting priorities, broken relationships, hope for the future, or reclaiming purpose, Cabot brings her main and her minor characters--and the resort where their lives intersect--into crossroads where the reader is invested and cares about their next steps.
At Bluebonnet Lake is truly a sweet romance. It is the love story of people and place and family. As is the case with most romances, I found the ending predictable. Still, it was a journey that I enjoyed taking. And along the way there were a few surprises. Most of those surprises came in how much I ended up caring about Rainbow's End and the town of Dupree--and all of its minor characters. I look forward to future books in the series and hope Cabot continues to tell their stories, dropping At Bluebonnet Lake's main characters--Kate, Greg, Sally, and Roy--into the background in favor of exploring more of Carmen, KOB, Lauren, and even Fiona. I even couldn't help rooting for Drew to find his own happy ending.
This is a sweet book. It's a sweet love story and an invitation to settle down and enjoy the peace and the quiet of the sweet gifts God places in your path.
