The Kelly Ranch #2
Phoebe & Deacon
Beautiful and so very moving! What a wonderful story, I loved every word, and loved the characters. I love ex-con stories, love reading how they overcome the stigma of being seen as a felon and untrustworthy, how they feel unworthy of love. In this case, Phoebe had a high school crush on Deacon, so when he moved to the apartment upstairs of hers, it was like a second chance, and she took it. He had to get over his issues in a hurry!
Deacon says that Phoebe smells like sugar, and she’s definitely sweet and beautiful inside and out. Her family thinks she needs protection but she’s very solid and forthright. Getting together with Deacon was as natural as breathing, in spite of his hesitation. I saw Deacon as this man of true grit, who overcame a family of misfits, took his little sister out of that environment, did a favor to his brother and got arrested for it. He served four years and now wants peace, to be able to work and get ahead. I loved how Phoebe’s family, who are like royalty in this town, accepted him as one of their own, because he loved Phoebe so hard and made her happy.
The first three quarters of the story are wonderful and uplifting with some suspense coming from Deacon’s nasty older brother. The last quarter is heartbreaking with nail-biting suspense.
I loved seeing Deacon’s transformation from a taciturn man of few smiles, to a guy who laughs and jokes, to the guy who cries when his beloved is in danger and hurt. He opened his heart and his mind, and Phoebe made him whole. Super romantic and just plain beautiful!
