Marisa's lost her job and her money. Driving a beat-up car, she arrives back in Dupree to take a job at Rainbow's End. She has a lot of of issues to deal with, but she's intrigued when she meets a handsome man.
Blake has come to see his friend, Greg, get married. The surprise of the news has Blake scrambling to see what has brought about such a change in his friend. He's got a bad case of writer's block, and maybe a change of scenery will help. Since so few people know his true identity, he feels safe.
These two are attracted to each other, but each one has issues to deal with. Marisa is fighting her past with an alcoholic father, which has colored her views of relationships and looking for perfection. Blake discovers that Marisa doesn't approve of his books and now is unwilling to reveal his identity.
You're also following the love story of Drew and Lauren. Drew wasn't the most pleasant character in the first book, but he seems to have had a change of heart. Lauren's own heart is starting to heal after the loss of her husband, and she notices the change in him. I loved both characters from this part of the story.
This was a pretty good book. I instantly liked Blake's character, but I didn't like Marisa's character for a while. She was one of those people who expected perfection from others and ignored her own issues, but reading through her journey of realization changed my mind and I liked her at the end.
The third book in the series, On Lone Star Trail, is set to come out February 2016. It tells the story of Gillian, a character mentioned in this book, but she never quite makes it to Rainbow's End. Greg and Kate from the first book are around a lot, we are at their resort, but you're not lost if you haven't read At Bluebonnet Lake making it okay to read these books out of order. Good Book!
*I received a copy of this book from Revell through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
