But when a notorious robber believes she knows the location of a long-lost treasure, she flees to Cheyenne and opens a dressmaker's shop to lie low and make a living. When wealthy cattle baron and political hopeful Barrett Landry enters the shop to visit her best customer, Charlotte feels drawn to him. If Barrett is to be a senator of the soon-to-be state of Wyoming, he must make a sensible match, and Miriam has all the right connections. Yet he can't shake the feeling that Charlotte holds the key to his heart and his future. Soon the past comes to call, and Barrett's plans crumble around him. Will Charlotte and Barrett find the courage to look love in the face? Or will their fears blot out any chance for happiness?

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.
