From The Book Junkie Reads . . . Called
Up (Calling It, #2) . . .
Sometimes they say the backstory
tells it all. In this case having backstory was necessary to move forward with
Deke and Fitz. Their past shaped their present and was making waves for their
futures. This friends to lovers had more than just being friends to connect
them. There was so much more behind it all and it was needed to make their bond
so complete. I believed that neither took it lightly when they made that step
to become more than just friends.
This coming together has witty
banter, a delicate sweetness, and a rich passion that focuses in on the two and
all they had between them. After traversing the past to the present things work
in favor of both Fitz and Deke. They had a connection that just could not go
unclaimed.
This was my first read from Jen
Doyle and I have mixed emotions to go along with this read. I was feeling a
little like I missed something with the story. There were so many characters
thrown at me during the beginning I was not sure I was in the right book. Then
as I progressed further and move beyond all the tangled webs I was able to see
the story being presented to me.

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.

“Hey,
Dorie,” she heard from above her. “Do you know where Fitz wants these bottles
of water?”
Speak of
the devil. Fitz brought her head up a little too suddenly, banging it on the
underside of the table. “Ouch!” Her hand going to the back of her head, she
came up frowning, and...
Oh, God, was he this gorgeous before? Had he
always smelled amazing?
Doing
everything she could to keep herself immune from his physical charms, she spun
on her heel. “Back here.”
Very
specifically not looking in Deke’s direction so that she didn’t give anything
away, she forced herself to act exactly as she always did around him. Except
she suddenly couldn’t quite remember how that was. Did she flirt with him? Did
she flat-out ignore him? Did she generally just go around in a state of
low-level irritation? Because right now she had absolutely no clue.
She had
even less of a clue as she bent down to open up the lid to the cooler and he
crouched down next to her, his head so close all he’d need to do was turn it
slightly to the left and his mouth would be on her breast.
And was
that…?
Oh, hell,
no, her nipples had not just hardened. She slapped her arms over her chest.
Because
they had. And Deke, with his superhero sex god extra sensory perception, had
definitely noticed. He at least had the decency to look down at the ground as
he grinned.
“It’s the
cold,” Fitz snapped. “From the cooler.”
Pushing the
bottles down into the ice, Deke just answered, “You’d be amazed at all the bits
and pieces I can warm up with my tongue.”
