To Have and To Fold by Emma St. Clair
MY REVIEW: This story completely stole my heart from the very first chapter🤍
Tank and Rose’s first interactions were some of my favorite moments in the entire book, and I found myself rooting for them from the very beginning.
One of the things I appreciated most was how thoughtfully this story handled love after loss. Watching both characters learn to open their hearts again was beautiful, and I loved that their relationship was built on honesty, patience, and healthy communication🥹✨
I was also so excited that we finally learned the story behind Wolf’s bunker😂🎉 Watching his character grow throughout the series was incredibly rewarding.
And the family dynamic? It was one of my favorite parts of the book. The love between Tank and his children added so much warmth and heart to the story, making this feel like the ultimate comfort read.
This was such a beautiful conclusion to the series. It made me laugh, smile, and tear up, and by the final page I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to these characters and the town of Sheet Cake💕

BLURB: Single dad and former football star Tank Graham has watched his children find love in the town of Sheet Cake, Texas. Now, it’s his turn.
Theodore “Tank” Graham has spent the years since his wife died investing fully in raising his children and helping them find their happiness. And, more recently, buying and revitalizing the town of Sheet Cake, Texas.
Now, it’s time to find his own happiness.
But turning his focus to himself is easier said than done when he’s spent so long putting others first.
That is until a building issue leaves Rose Roberts, the newest baker in Sheet Cake, without a kitchen or a place to sleep.
Tank steps in to help–but only because as the owner of the building where she lives and works, it’s his duty.
But duty isn’t why he finds himself giving up his own loft for her or buying every baking supply Rose could possibly need while her commercial kitchen is out of commission.
Tank finds himself lingering in her presence, prolonging conversations, and thinking about her far more often than he should. Especially when he has a new grandbaby to fuss over, a collapsing house to renovate, and Wolf Waters to support in his mayoral race.
Still–the pull toward Rose becomes hard to resist. And why should he? For the first time since he lost his wife, Tank is feeling something big.
It’s been literal decades since he’s been in a relationship, but Tank has always lived by a go big or don’t even think about going home philosophy.
And now … the idea of home doesn’t sound complete. Not without Rose.
