Erin did a terrific job on the whole series, but I think she saved the best for last with over-protective big brother Conner and laid back tom boy fellow paramedic Gabby!Conner is finally getting to "retire" from having to worry about his four younger sisters now that they have all settled down and have wonderful men looking out for them. That was until Gabby's apartment burns down and Conner's protective nature takes a hold and offers her a place to stay for 2 months.Conner has always thought of Gabby is one of the guys that he works with and someone fun to hang out with but that all changes with one outfit and a few dirty words. Gabby has always been attracted to Conner, but with his reputation of charming and romancing ladies one night and kicking them to the curb soon after has made her want to stay "one of the guys".The conversations between Conner and Gabby are hilarious and their sex scenes will set you on fire!Check it out and see Who can "Woo" who better?One of my favorite interactions from Up by Five is:"I just might end up being the biggest problem you've ever had," she cautioned."I'm fully aware of that," he said sincerely.She laughed and swatted his arm."But it's strange isn't it, " he went on, "how your biggest problem can also be your perfect solution? How the thing that makes you craziest can also be what grounds you and keeps you sane?"This can be read as a standalone, but why would you do that?? The Counting on Love series rocks! Also with several appearances from couples we met in the Bradford series!*Review copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
