Hit The Ground by Julia Wolf is now live!
Caleb Kelly has been my secret weakness since the day I moved to Sugar Brush, Wyoming.
I spend my days among the stacks as the town’s librarian and my nights serving drinks at Joy’s Elbow Room. It’s safe, predictable, and a little boring. The only thing that makes my pulse kick is when Caleb Kelly walks through the door and takes a seat at one of my tables.
Four years of stolen glances, watching him laugh with his family, listening to him talk about his son, and pretending he doesn’t unravel me just by saying my name. Alice.
Then one reckless night, I steal a kiss. And for one perfect, heart-stopping second, he kisses me back.
But the thing is, Caleb doesn’t date. He has his son, his ranch, and no room for anything—or anyone—else.
So I finally stop waiting, stop hoping, stop hiding. It’s way past time to begin living my life on my own terms.
Just as I start to move forward, trouble knocks me back. And when I need someone the most, Caleb is the one by my side again and again, standing between me and the worst of it. His steady, fierce presence is impossible to ignore.
I should know better than to keep falling for a man who told me he can’t give me more. I should walk away before I get hurt again.
It’s just that every time he shows up, every time he really sees me, every time he stays, my heart refuses to listen.
But letting him in might be the one thing I can’t come back from.

💚Review💚
Alice has had feelings for Caleb for a while even if he has never seen her as more than the town librarian and his waitress at the pub. Once kiss gives her hope that they could have something together however when that doesn’t materialize she realizes that she must push her feelings aside if she wants to have the future she wants and she isn’t about to accept less than the love she deserves.
Caleb is focused on two things which are the family ranch and his son Jesse. He has never seriously considered a relationship with anyone and that included Alice. When he realized what they could have together after the adrenaline his next emotion was anxiety, so he decides to back away. It is only when he realizes the impact that Alice has already had on his and his son’s lives that he realizes that some rewards are worth the risk.
Alice is a relatable character from the ways that she loves Caleb for who he is and the strength she has for knowing what she wants. At time Caleb can be exasperating but when it really matters he shows Alice that he is man for her.
