Two Steps Forward (The Deacon's Family #3) Review
My Review
The third book in the Deacon's Family series was highly anticipated by me and it fully lived up to my expectations. While the main character is not Luke in this book I've really enjoyed seeing his story unfold from troubled and trouble causing teen to a strong faith journey. He gets his strength in the Lord.
This is Jimmy Fisher and Sylvie Schrock King's story. Jimmy returns home after being in the Englishger world for some time. His mother is not the nurturing type and always seems to find fault in not only her son but those around her as well. Trying to marry Jimmy off to the woman of her choice is her prerogative .
All Jimmy want is to get a job and when Sylvie offers a job on her large farm because she desperately needs the help well he really can't pass up the offer. Jimmy is mesmerized by the violet eyed beauty and she has a strong knowledge of horses which makes the attraction all the stronger since he is a horse man.
Can he convince her to give him a chance despite his mother's negativity about any romance blossoming between them? I am really going to miss this series as I've come to know the characters and seeing their character development and strong faith walks in the books was so enjoyable.
I recommend the whole Deacon's family series! Published February 4th 2020 by Fleming H. Revell Company I was given a complimentary copy of this book. Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own.

GoodReads Summary
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.
