Her life is set to warp speed. His is slowing to a crawl. But love has its own timing.
Marketing maven Kate Sherwood’s world is fast-paced, challenging, and always changing. The last thing she wants to do is grind to a halt at Rainbow’s End, a dilapidated resort in the Texas Hill Country. Still, she cannot deny her ailing grandmother’s request to visit the place where she and her deceased husband spent one glorious week fifty years ago. There, Kate meets Greg, who appears to be the resort’s unassuming handyman. But there’s more to Greg than meets the eye–billions more, in fact.
Kate isn’t looking for romance, but she can’t deny the sparks of attraction that fly every time she and Greg are together. Could there be a future there? Or will Kate’s long-sought promotion take her back to the big city?
The last thing Kate Sherwood needs is a man, so why is she so drawn to the handsome handyman at the Rainbow’s End resort?
Amanda Cabot invites you to step into a place away from the pressures of the day. You might be surprised by what you find at Rainbow’s End.
My Review:
published in 2014
Wow — so excited that this is the first in the Texas Crossroads series. Not only is ‘At Bluebonnet Lake’ a stunning contemporary romance, but Cabot has laid some wonderful groundwork for the future books. She says there will be at least two more. I’m hoping for way more than that.
Love the whole idea behind Rainbow’s End. The symbolism brings a certain magic to the story. But the physical resort is completely captivating too. I totally want to visit — especially if I get to meet Kate and Greg in person.
Don’t you just love it when romance takes a heroine unawares? Especially a ladder-climbing executive type who has no intention of setting foot in Texas again after this one vacation with her grandmother. Never say never, Miss Kate Sherwood, especially when God has different plans for your future.
Though Kate is career-oriented, she’s kind, compassionate, funny and dedicated to her grandmother. Really, why would Greg even try to resist? Well, he doesn’t try hard, though he is at a crossroads of his own and hesitates to add romance into the mix.
There is a great inspirational thread seamlessly woven into the very fibre of this story. I love how natural it felt — and though both Kate and Greg are Christians, they learn a lot about trusting God not just with their future, but their present and their past as well. Some really powerful testimonies touched me during the course of this read.
Simply put — ‘At Bluebonnet Lake’ is a special blend of inspiration and romance that will lift your spirit and touch your heart. It doesn’t get any better than that, right?

I’m curious about this one because it always comes up with it when I search Robin Jones Gunn on Libby (digital/audiobook app). I’m not sure if she endorsed it or it’s just considered stylistically similar, but yes please. The faith element sounds great!

That’s an interesting connection. I haven’t read much from Robin Jones Gunn so I can’t say if the styles are similar or not. You’ll just have to read to find out. 🙂 Good luck, Stephanie!

AT BLUEBONNET LAKE sounds like an amazing read. The perfect read for staying at home on a rainy day where you can just settle down for an amazing read. With supplies at hand, I could see me devouring this book in one sitting.
It’s a shame when time and the number of books we want to read has an awesome book slipping from our grasp. That’s why I thank you for the random retro rereads. It refreshes our minds of those great books we really need to read.
Greatly appreciate the chance to win a copy!
Have a fantastic Friday!
