About this audiobook
One fateful night will change their destinies forever. …
Convinced that his stepmother and half brothers have been wrongfully evicted by cattle king Eli Dearing, Asher Ellis uses the cover of an extravagant ball to break into the Three Cedars’ ranch house to search for proof. On the verge of discovery, he flees, but a boy’s cry compels him to make a daring rescue.
Spunky and independent Samantha Dearing balks when she learns the ball her father is hosting is nothing more than a matrimonial ambush. Taking a break from unwanted suitors, Samantha spots a thief fleeing her home. When the stranger ends up saving her brother’s life, she hides the only clue to his identity left behind—his boot—and resolves to find him herself.
When Samantha encounters the older brother of a student she tutors, all thoughts of the bootless mystery man vanish. Asher values family above wealth, a rare trait that opens her heart. Afraid she will discover his past misconduct, Asher tries to keep his distance, but when a series of suspicious accidents befall her, he vows to protect her, even though saving her life could mean losing her love.

If the Boot Fits by Rebekah Weatherspoon
Cowboys of California #2
What fun this book was! There is definitely a bit of the fairytale vibe in this one and it was a joy to read!
What I liked:
* Amanda: strong, talented, works hard, caring, capable, beautiful, confident in many if not all things, a delight and delightful.
* Sam: gorgeous, talented, loves deeply, Oscar winner, caring, confident, intriguing, and so much more!
* The introduction – what fun!
* That both H/h were nice people
* The contrast between Amanda and Dru, the woman she worked for
* Helene, friend to both Amanda and Sam
* The families of both Sam and Amanda
* That I needed to look up terms I was unfamiliar with (triangle braids & Hotep…perhaps others) and through this learned and grew
* That this felt/is an OwnVoice story and as such gave me a different perspective
* That there was a HFN/HEA for the couple
* Knowing that Jesse, the third Pleasant brother, will get a book of his own soon.
What I did not like:
* Dru – perfectly evil though how Amanda put up with her so long boggles the mind!
* Having to wait for Jesse’s story…and wondering if the series will end after Jesse’s story or if others mentioned in this book might show up in books of their own.
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series/by this author? Yes
Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington for the ARC – This is my honest review
