Harper Montgomery swore she’d never return to Blue Bonnet, Texas. But when a single phone call drags her away from her big-city career and back to the crumbling family farm, Harper finds herself knee-deep in small-town gossip, family secrets… and face-to-face with the one cowboy she hoped she’d left in the rearview mirror.
Riley Whitaker has always been trouble—the charming, cocky kind who knows exactly how to push Harper’s buttons. They’ve been sparring since high school, and ten years later, not much has changed… except maybe the way he looks in a pair of jeans.
When the farm’s future is threatened, Harper has no choice but to team up with her former nemesis. Working side-by-side, tempers flare, sparks fly, and suddenly their rivalry is looking a lot like foreplay.
Torn between the life she built and the roots she never quite escaped, Harper must decide what’s worth fighting for—her future, her family, or the cowboy who’s always driven her wild.
A sizzling slow-burn romance filled with sass, heart, and second chances, Two Stepping Into Trouble is the irresistible enemies-to-lovers debut you won’t want to put down.
The plot felt extremely rushed. I love the idea behind ‘saving’ the family farm, but it wasn’t executed well, more time to develop this with more description would have worked well. I felt a little bored reading this.
There is little-to-no character description, depth or progression. As a result, I didn’t bond with any of the characters. They kind of annoyed me.
Harper’s motives change as much as I change my clothes. Initially, she takes a short break to return to the family farm, then 20 pages later, she’s having heated conversations with her Dad about ‘how much it means to her?’ How did we get from zero-to-one-hundred?
The premise (small town, etc.) is great, I just think it needs some work. I actually think that if this had been written in first person, that would have helped a lot of the issues, we’d have had more insight into Harper’s decisions, etc. I do also think this would have worked better as a 300 page book.
