With Autumn's Return

Westward Winds has brought us love in Summer, Spring and now Autumn. While it is a bit odd to be reading about autumn in the winter months, it is an enticing romance. I think perhaps, Elizabeth and Jason's story is my favorite yet. I enjoyed author Amanda Cabot's first series Texas Dreams and I have anxiously been awaiting to read her new series Westward Winds starting with Summer of Promise. That book gripped me from the first scene and captivated me ever since. It starts with an absolutely gorgeous book cover that just begs to be investigated and continues with a jump into the plot and then entertains with a bit of suspense in mystery and hint of friendship and romance and even some redemption for those which you might judge.

Waiting for Spring is a matchmakers dream to read! When I got my hands on this one, squeals were heard, yet that is often the case with a new novel from Amanda Cabot. When she started with her first series Texas Dreams she hit the ground running and has provided only riveting romantic reads for me every since including her most recent Christmas novella in Christmas Roses. Every time including in Waiting for Spring, the book grips me from the very first scene and keeps me captivated. A gorgeous dress graces the cover which appears to be fabulously typical for the Westward Winds series and brings you right into the character's life.

Coming in, I knew I would like it being from Amanda, but I was even so excellently surprised. In Summer of Promise I was not in love with the character of Charlotte (even though I of course love the name!) but hearing her thoughts come off the page in Waiting for Spring I am definitely rejuvenated for her and have thoroughly enjoyed her story. From the very first as the various characters are described and brought into the story each one could be the romantic interest or the way things go and Amanda describes character personalities so well in the way they seem to think and act that really has a reader invested in what will happen to each person. In this book, even the sideline characters bring a great interest into the curiosity of how it will all turn out.

Amanda Cabot is an author that goes straight to the keeper shelf. Pretty much you know when she is releasing a new book it is definitely worth every minute of the read. So with that said, I knew I was going to enjoy With Autumn's Return, but seriously... how can every new Cabot book be my new favorite from her pen!?! Perhaps it is the hook from my childhood of a female doctor, or perhaps it is just that Elizabeth and Jason are so perfect for each other once they learn a little about themselves and what they really want versus what they were trained to believe earlier in life. No matter what brought me here, this is an amazing read start to finish. It found it's way into my purse on more than one occasion, went to stores and restaurants and even the YMCA with me one time as I was captivated to turn page after page to find out what would happen next. As always, I love Amanda's books!
