CALLED UP
A Calling It Novel

There are two things Max “Deke” Deacon can always count on: his old high school teammates and Fitz Hawkins. But no matter how much Deke might secretly fantasize otherwise, a relationship with one of his best friends is off limits. Until one unexpectedly smoldering encounter has Deke and Fitz looking at each other in a whole new way.

Angelica “Fitz” Hawkins knows for a fact that it is not better to have loved and lost. After losing her parents, she’d rather lock up her heart and throw away the key than endure that kind of pain again. If that means giving up any hope of a lasting relationship, then so be it.

With Deke, Fitz finally feels like she's back in the land of the living. But she won’t risk another broken heart—even if it means saying good-bye to Deke for good. It’s up to Deke to convince her that the safest place she could ever be is right here with him.

REVIEW

I have a new favorite author and a new favorite series.  I fell in love with Fitz and Deke immediately. And then I fell in love with all of their friends.  Jen Doyle created a town that I would love to live in and could just as easily be my friends... if my best friends owned a bar and played professional baseball.  There is nothing new about Fitz and Deke's love story.  They've been friends forever.  All of a sudden they begin seeing each other as something more than friends.  Hijinx ensue.  Doyle does a great job of writing this with a perfect mix of humor, romance, and sexiness.  Since this is the second book in a series, I had to immediately go and read the first book, and I guarantee you will too.
