A Stolen Heart By Amanda Cabot

From afar, Cimarron Creek seems like an idyllic town tucked in the Texas Hill Country. But when former schoolteacher Lydia Crawford steps onto its dusty streets in 1880, she finds a town with a deep-seated resentment of Northerners--like her. Lydia won't let that get her down, though. All will be well when she's reunited with her fiancé. But when she discovers he has disappeared--and that he left behind a pregnant wife--Lydia is at a loss about what to do next. The handsome sheriff urges her to trust him, but can she trust anyone in this town where secrets are as prevalent as bluebonnets in spring?

Bestselling author Amanda Cabot invites readers back into Texas's storied past to experience love and adventure against a backdrop of tension and mystery in this first book in a brand-new series.

With both parents avid readers, it's no surprise that Amanda Cabot learned to read at an early age. From there it was only a small step to deciding to become a writer. Of course, deciding and becoming are two different things, as she soon discovered. Fortunately for the world, her first attempts at fiction, which included a play for her fifth grade class entitled "All About Thermometers," were not published, but she did meet her goal of selling a novel by her thirtieth birthday. Since then she's sold more than thirty novels under a variety of pseudonyms. When she's not writing, Amanda enjoys sewing, cooking and - of course - reading.

I was lost in this mystery all night. I never put this book down from page one. Cabot has done it again, every time she takes me to Texas I never know what to expect. It's never dull and the people that I meet are unforgettable.

I loved this first book in this new series Cimarron Creek.

Please join me in a trip to Texas and let me know what you think.

I gave this book four stars and I recommend it.

I received  this book from the publisher for review. A favorable was not required and all views expressed are my own.

On Lone Star Trail By Amanda Cabot GIVEAWAY!

If there's one thing Gillian Hodge never wants to see again, it's a man on a motorcycle. Her last encounter with one left her right hand crushed, ending her promising career as a concert pianist. But as she heads to Rainbow's End Resort, a sudden thunderstorm causes a motorcycle to crash in front of her.
When TJ Benjamin's wife died, he lost more than his best friend; he lost his faith. He's spent the past year wandering the country on a motorcycle, trying not to think about his future. When he finds himself stranded with a busted bike and a reluctant rescuer, he has to wonder about God's sense of humor.
Can this woman without a future and this man running from his past find romance in the present? Or are they too tied to the way life used to be?

I loved both of the first books in the Texas Crossroads series Bluebonnet Lake and Firefly Valley. That being said book number three On Lone Star trail was fantastic. I love the Love triangle and trying to figure out who Gillian was going choose. I was always rooting for the under dog.

I did love the ending it turns out wonderful.

The Characters show up from the first two books which makes me super happy. They are all characters that you can easily love.

This was without a doubt a 5 star book. I HIGHLY recommend. Don't miss this series, Contemporary Romance lovers.

Book two in the Texas Crossroads series was just as good as book one. A super light fun read.

Blake and Marisa are loveable and real characters and you will not soon forget them.

I was so happy to return to Rainbow's End, I can't wait to see what Cabot has in store for us next.

I love the whole aspect of second chances. This was a super fun summer read.

I gave this book 5 stars. I recommend this summer read.

At Bluebonnet Lake By Amanda Cabot

Marketing maven Kate Sherwood's world is fast-paced, challenging, and always changing. The last thing she wants to do is slow down to a crawl at Rainbow's End, a dilapidated resort in the Texas Hill Country. But she cannot deny her ailing grandmother's request to visit the place where she and her deceased husband spent one glorious week (albeit fifty years ago). There Kate meets Greg Vange, the resort's handyman. But there's more to Greg than meets the eye--billions more, in fact, as he recently sold his successful software company and is at the resort in search of what's next for his life.
Kate isn't looking for romance, but she can't deny the sparks of attraction that fly every time she and Greg are together. She even starts to see potential in the rundown resort. Could there be a future there? Or will Kate's long-sought promotion take her back to the big city?

Get ready to take a vacation like never before to a resort like none other in this latest masterpiece by Amanda Cabot.

I fell in love with the characters Kate, Greg, Grandma Sally and Roy. They felt like part of my family and I connected with Carmen on a foodie level.

I wanted to be at Bluebonnet so bad, reading this book was the much needed vacation that I needed. I hated to see the book end. I did however LOVE the ending.

I gave this book 5 stars two times and Highly recommend this book.
