Two Steps Forward by Suzanne Woods Fisher {Book Review}

An Amish romance with a bit of humor and unlikely pair. Check out my review of Two Steps Forward.

Title: Two Steps Forward
Author: Suzanne Woods Fisher
Series: The Deacon's Family #3
Age: Adult
Genres: Amish Romance, Christian Fiction
Publication Date: February 4, 2020
Publisher: Revell
Source: Paperback
Purchase:  Paperback | Kindle | Audible | Hardcover
Synopsis:
Back and broke in Stoney Ridge, Jimmy Fisher has coasted as long as he could through life on charm, good looks, and deep-set dimples. They always worked just fine for him--until they didn't. His smile has no effect on the violet-eyed beauty he met at the Bent N' Dent, the one with that stunning horse. She's offered him a job, but nothing else.

The last thing Sylvie Schrock King needs around Rising Star Farm is a grown boy working for her, especially her neighbor Edith's son. The woman holds a serious grudge against Sylvie and her son, and hiring Jimmy Fisher will only fan the flames of Edith's rancor. But Sylvie is desperate for help on the farm, and Jimmy understands horses like no one else.

While Jimmy's lazy smile and teasing ways steal Sylvie's heart, Edith is working on a way to claim her land. Has Sylvie made another terrible mistake? Or is it too late to outfox the fox? More importantly . . . just who is the fox?

Writing with both wit and warmth, Fisher delivers a supremely satisfying conclusion to the popular Deacon's Family series.
My Rating:

For my first real dive into Amish fiction I was shocked by how much I found myself enjoying this novel. It wasn't immediately invested in Slyvie as a character, but as the story progressed she grew on me. I liked that she was always respectful, yet she didn't back down and spoke her truth. She was a soft, feisty woman that was headstrong. There was such a grace about the way she carried herself and dealt with people that made me fall in love with her each turn of the page.

As for Jimmy, he seemed to be an annoying guy, but I was glad that he and Slyvie met. Their connection was smooth and they seemed to balance one another somehow. Edith is a character I just want to toss outside of a window. She's a mean woman that seeks to do nothing but hurt Slyvie. As an antagonist she succeeded, but I definitely didn't like her. The other characters like Izzy and Luke were new to me. They intrigued me enough to want to go back and read the other books in the series.

Overall, this impressed me enough to get me interested in reading more Amish novels!

Blessings,
