If the Boot Fits by Karen Witemeyer
4.5
If The Boot Fits was the second book in the "Texas Ever After" and its been a book that I received ages ago from Netgalley but honestly I just never got around to it. I think I was intimidated due to the backlash that this author received some years ago, which after reading this book, I think was probably false rumors and making a mountain out of a mole hill because its inspirational romance lol
This book kept me on my toes and I honestly never wanted to put it down. I fell so hard for this one here, the audio was great but I really loved the Cinderella twist on this book. It was so unique. The hero was the "Cinderella" and the heroine was the prince of sorts in this story. It starts off with this ball, where the hero has come home to find his mother and brothers kicked off their land when his father died and looking for evidence the man in charge of the land is corrupt and did it for a evil reason. But fails to find evidence, and ends up in saving the life of Samantha's younger brother. Samantha is seeking to contribute to her community and help those in need. She is determined to make a life here. She connects with Asher in tutoring his younger brother in his school studies. But when her life is threatened, Asher is there to be her protector.
I fell so hard for this one and I think the only thing that kept this book from being a five star was I would have wanted a slight more focus on some swoons, but it was still there. It also reminded me that I want to read more inspirational romance for sure. I loved the soft spiritual focus mixed with the danger themed plot and the romance which builds between Asher and Samantha. I loved the western theme and I definitely want to read much more of this author because I fell hard for her writing and I can't wait to explore the rest of this series. I have such a soft heart for retellings and I can tell you this was beautifully done.
