This review was originally posted on (un)Conventional BookviewsHarper was a whimsical character I thought I'd love more than I did... it took her a long time to grow up and actually do something constructive instead of complaining about the ideas her mother, her sisters and Cole came up with to save the ranch after her father's sudden death. And while the story involved a trope I absolutely love in romances, friends to lovers, it was not all that easy to get attached to Harper and Cole as a couple. I did enjoy the interactions between Harper and Skylar, though. That was a relationship that felt very real and honest to me.
I think one of the things about The Bride Wore Denim that made it not work so well for me was the slow pace, and the mere length of the novel. It could have been a bit shorter and still tell the same story, at least that's the feeling I got. And while I enjoyed the characters and especially the different dynamics between the sisters, I still felt like those could be explored more thoroughly.
