Synopsis
One night brings them together. Another night tears them apart.
Grace Miles misses her easy friendship with Asher, but growing up means growing apart. And really, how could he fall for her when they spent their childhood getting muddy in the creek and splitting sticks of gum?
But this summer, something feels different. If Grace didn’t know better, she’d think Asher was flirting with her. Those dark eyes, hard body, and wicked smile make her insides swirl and her heart dare to hope for things she’s convinced herself she’ll never have.
Falling for your best friend shouldn’t be complicated, but for Asher Bailey, loving Grace is anything but simple. The road to romance isn’t smooth thanks to his pack of wild brothers who are protective of the girl next door, a take-no-sass grandmother, a small town where gossip is a spectator sport, and a feud that spans generations.
But Asher realizes his feelings are too big to ignore. Loving her isn’t the risk. Losing her would be.
And one night, one kiss, changes everything.
Finally admitting their feelings is the beginning of their happily ever after. Until their fairy tale love story is tragically interrupted, and neither of them will ever be the same.
Author’s note: Lifelong soulmates, ridiculous pranks, brother shenanigans, and a feuding town. Protecting You is the Bailey Brothers series origin story. Be there when it begins and fall in love with this wild band of unruly brothers. The series is meant to be read in order, and Grace and Asher’s story concludes in Fighting for Us.
Caroline's Review
5 Stars
This was a fantastic start to a new series!
"Grace had lodged herself into my heart a long time ago, and she hadn't left room for anyone else to get in."
Asher Bailey and Grace Miles have grown up together as neighbours and the best of friends. As little kids they were practically joined at the hip. As teens, they started to drift. As college-aged adults, they had lost their closeness. However, when Grace is back at home for the summer again, Asher finally starts to acknowledge something he's been denying for a long time, and he's on a mission to end the summer with Grace as his girl.
"If I gave him so much as a moment, I'd have to give him all my moments. My heart wouldn't accept anything less."
I loved this prologue to Grace and Asher's story, as well as the introduction to the rowdy Bailey brothers, and a little bit of a background story to their home town. Grace and Asher were so sweet together but so natural and inevitable. I loved their history, I loved their connection, and I loved how certain they were about each other. Pretty swoony and heartwarming. I can't wait to get my teeth into their main story.
