One Step Behind by Brianna Labuskes
5.0
Gemma Lancaster is trying hard to be a sleuth. Lucas Stone is good at seeing beyond the surface. I love that Gemma has an attitude and won’t take nothin’ from Lucas. Something else I loved was her supposed animosity toward him. He has a sneaky streak that left me wanting to see what else he had up his sleeve.
This has mystery and intrigue that overshadows the romance which I didn’t mind because Lucas has his work cut out for him where Gemma is concerned. She doesn’t want to be left behind just because of her gender and she lets it be known that she won’t be walked over. And she doesn’t want to be judged based on what she looks like.
Lucas seems to know what he wants and just has to convince Gemma that they want the same thing. Gemma thinks she knows what the outcome of their liaison will be but can’t figure out why Lucas isn’t on the same page. I was glad I had the chance to follow along on their journey both in solving a mystery and in getting a conclusion to their relationship. I could see these two as a Regency Hart to Hart couple. Am so looking forward to see how this author follows up this debut novel.
I received this book for review from IndieSage PR and the author. I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review.
