Protecting You is the first book in the Bailey Brothers series by Claire Kingsley. Although short, this book is a nice introduction to the Bailey family. It's also the start of Grace and Asher's story, which will continue in Fighting For Us.Asher is the oldest of five brothers. After their parent's untimely death, they were taken in and raised by their grandparents. Only now it's just their Gram. Asher has been best friends with Grace since an early age. The two were pretty much inseparable grow...
Audiobook ReviewOverall 4 starsPerformance 4.5 starsStory 4 starsWhat a great start to the series! This origin story set the stage perfectly for what's to come and introduced readers to all the different characters that we will see along the way. This is a spin off from the Miles Family series and some of the events in Protecting You actually take place before that series. It's not necessary to read the Miles Family series before starting this one, but it will give more insight into the heroine
The depiction of college students was simplistic and cardboard. The 21 year old hero acted like a kid. He’s passive and timid. Except when he is saving the heroine from sexual assault. Then he’s protective. You can tell the author doesn’t enjoy this age group or writing virgin characters. I appreciated both of their reasoning for not sleeping with others. It made sense for their ages and situation. I do not appreciate the abrupt shift of the story to a real bummer of an ending. I didn’t realize
Bumping this up my list to read as I've heard the devastating news that Claire lost her husband this week. She's asked for no material objects to be sent to her but I think reading her books would be a nice way to support her if you want to do that.
I knew this prequel would break me, but oh goodness I has no idea just how all in my feels I would be. Claire is one of my favorite go-to authors and this book clearly shows why. The depth of emotion that she's able to convey, the way I feel like I genuinely *know* these characters, the love they have for each other, the heartbreak.. It's all just so phenomenal!Asher and Grace have been the best of friends their entire lives, but for the last few years there's been something off between the two
Ready for the next book. This is everything that fans of Claire Kingsley are looking for to set up this new series to dive head first into. There you go. What more do you want? Okay fine. Let's talk series, series cross-over, tears, and other reader expectations. Do you have to read the Miles Family series before this one? No. But you would be dumb not to. Let's say you choose no. This is the origin story of the Bailey family and the town of Tilikum. Here we learn about all those little known fa...
28/2/22 - Rereading the series in preparation for the release of book 6!!!! Ohhhhhh I love Asher & Grace! Their story was so heartbreaking and I can’t wait to read the next book to see if they get the happy ever after that they both deserve! I am super crushing on the rest of those Bailey brothers too and will definitely be reading their stories soon.
The first book of this new series has left me speechless. After all, every book written by CK leaves the reader for wanting more. This story is no exception. Asher and Grace have been best friends forever but at a certain point that love seems to change into something more. Initially both are quite uncertain as what to do next but once they get together again it seems that time has not affected their feelings. So far things went from good to great and perhaps the book is going to give the reader...
I went back to the beginning. I hadn't read Grace and Asher's story yet and I am so happy to be hearing their love story.This was a tough little novella to start with. Doesn't have an HEA, but it was an interesting start.Let's see what Grace and Asher do once they get another chance.4 Stars1.5 on the spice scale.
The majority of the book was… cute? Boring? Idk. All I know is that this book contained a trope I find hard to enjoy. I‘m not a huge fan of friends to lovers, that’s probably because I didn‘t like this book, as much as I could‘ve.The plottwist was actually unpredictable. How could I’ve known that something like that would happen. As for this I‘m a sucker for stuff like this happening in romance books and I don‘t even know why. Without this bit of action/ mystery whatever that was, this book woul...
This . . . travesty is supposed to introduce a new series as a follow-on of the author's Miles Family series. I skipped those because the first was so bad I couldn't take anyone seriously afterwards so I thought I'd give this a shot. I should have shot something else first.Just so you know, this isn't an actual novel. I mean, technically, it's a short novel at least by length. But it ends on a freaking cliffhanger after the author takes a torch to everything she set up just before the end. And t...
A cute/sweet friends-to-lovers story centred on Asher Bailey and Grace Miles. Asher and Grace have been best friends since they were children living next door to each other in a small town with its own feuding families. The two were inseparable until things changed and both supressed their feelings, but now Grace is home from college for the summer and Asher finally acknowledges his feelings for her out loud recognising not telling her would be the biggest mistake of his life. Happily looking fo...
Protecting You is more than what I expected. I am not a big fan of Miss Kingsley's works, to be honest. But Protecting You is promising. The story is short. More like novella. We got a glimpse into Grace and Asher's story. The story started with a good tone and sad ending at the end. Do not worry Miss Kingsley will conjure a happy ending at the second book. I do wish the romance will be more intense and more dramatic. In Miss Kingsley hands, the drama is more subdue. Not in dramatic and heartbre...
