The characters don’t behave like they’re in their late 30s, which was frustrating at times, but I did enjoy this book.
The setting feels rich, and I enjoyed the romantic tension between our leads. That being said, the history behind the animosity between the two was revealed way too late in the book. The backstory or at least an explanation of their bickering would have helped make Colton come off more mature, since between the two, he was way too bratty in the first half of the book.

“I can’t stop thinking about you. You’re in my f-cking head. Invading my life. You’re everywhere I goddamn look. Everything I see.”
Brim Over Boot is the second book in the Darling Brothers series by @emmysandersmm , and it was one of my most anticipated reads for this year!
We first met Colton and Noah in Sweet Like Whiskey. Colton is one of the Darling Brothers, and Noah was introduced as his ‘archnemesis’ (yes, the hatred is that strong). I knew I absolutely needed their story from the moment Ash told Colt “Maybe you two just need to bang it out.”
The two are both farriers in the small town of Darling, Montana, and are rivals both personally and professionally.
I absolutely loved their story! The rivalry is strong from the start, and even when things start to shift the tension between them remains, leading to some super 🔥 moments between them.
Noah’s dirty talk is exceptional, and the nickname Little Colt was absolute perfection.
If you like arguing as a form of foreplay- you’ll definitely love their dynamic.
I also adored the appearances of the rest of the Darling Family, and am already super excited for Lawson’s book next, and Remi’s after that!
Emmy has absolutely crushed it again with this enemies to lovers story. Give Colton “goddamn” Darling and Noah “f-cking” king a chance- you won’t regret it!

I am once again completely 𝒘𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒅 in the best way.
This double bi-awakening, small-town rivals-to-lovers story hit 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 emotional note. Watching Colton and Noah navigate their complicated history and growing attraction was everything. Noah's quiet acceptance of his identity contrasted beautifully with Colton's struggle—and let’s be real, half of Colton’s “confusion” was totally just him catching feelings for Noah and not knowing what to do with them.
Their chemistry? Off the charts. Their growth? So raw and real. And their love story? Utterly unforgettable.
Emmy Sanders has this magical ability to write stories that transcend star ratings. This book isn’t just a romance—it's an experience. And just like always, I’m already craving the next one. 💙🌈

“Against all goddamn sense and reason, you made me fall brim over boot, Noah King. And now I don’t know which way is up unless it’s with you.”
Emmy Sanders hits every. fucking. time. I am convinced there isn’t a single book she could write that I wouldn’t absolutely devour.
Colton-goddamn-Darling and Noah-fucking-King are the absolute perfect example of enemies to lovers done right. The tension between these two was immaculate.
Colton and Noah are rival farriers in a small town who love nothing more than to get under the other one’s skin. Every moment between them felt like a “when are they just going to freaking kiss already?!” moment and when it happened, hallelujah was it superb. The chemistry between these two was scorching hot and I could not get enough (and neither could they apparently.)
I loved how their bi-awakenings were different but showed both sides - one struggling to understand and the other just kind of accepting it and rolling with the punches. It felt very real and authentic to the experiences of many.
Coming back to Darling, Montana felt like coming back home. I loved seeing snippets of Jackson and Ash (from book 1), along with Remi and Lawson and I absolutely cannot wait for Remi and Lawson to get their stories.
What you’re getting:
Enemies to lovers
Double bi-awakening
Small town
MCs in their late 30s
Angst and tension
Dom/sub undertones
Farrier x farrier
Banter
A wayward carrot
Hand necklaces
HEA
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
