Hold The Line by Julia Wolf is now live!
Deacon Slater was my high school crush—the bad boy with haunted eyes that made my heart skip a beat. But in our small town, the Slater name is synonymous with trouble, and Deke lived up to it when he landed in prison a few years after graduation.
He served his time and now he's back, living in the apartment above mine, covered in ink and even more intriguing than before.
As the owner of Sugar Rush bakery, I'm used to building bridges with my muffins and cookies. I've seen cowboys nearly come to blows over the last lemon bar. But Deke wants nothing to do with my treats...or me. He keeps his distance, barely speaking when I knock on his door.
Until the day he doesn't have a choice.
He's there when I need him, stepping in to protect me, showing me the caring man beneath his rough edges.
We couldn't be more different. I'm a curvy ray of sunshine in a pink apron and he's a stoic, tattooed carpenter in work boots. But the more walls we tear down, the closer we get. And piece by piece, we discover how well we fit.
But when darkness from his past comes looking for him, what we're building could all fall apart. Because this time, trouble isn't just circling Deacon Slater.
It's coming for us both.

MY REVIEW
During high school, Phoebe had a crush on Deacon. But that's in the past and in her present, she's just running her bakery in their small hometown, trying to avoid trouble like Deacon. Then he comes back to town and changes both their lives. At first her new neighbor kept her at a distance the way he kept everyone, but when he steps in to keep trouble from someone else at bay, suddenly this pair is forming a connection, a friendship that has all the signs of becoming more. If Phoebe can help him see himself the way she sees him, they just may be looking at a beautiful future.
Deacon has always had a misconception of himself, one Phoebe never agreed with him about. Now that he's back in town, he's determined to keep his distance from the woman he's always been drawn to, but never thought he was good enough for. But she's having this affect on him, her stout determination that he's a good man, her equal, and his heart is starting to agree. He just needs to open up completely and let her in, then they can have that ever elusive happiness they deserve.
Gah, these two are just about the sweetest, most perfect for each other couple I have read in a long time. They're definitely opposites, but they just got each other. Phoebe is Deacon's rock, his sugar, helping him to reverse the way he saw himself, and I loved every word of them together. I do so love me a stoic, brooding man, especially when he's hiding a tender, loving heart just waiting for the right one to come along and rock his world. I'm not sure who's next in the Kelly Ranch world to fall in love, but I'm impatient to find out.
