Review: Up By Five (Counting On Love Book #5)
Rating: 5 out of 5

Erin Nicholas has surpassed my wildest expectations and gone above and beyond with Up By Five.Conner's book has finally come, after he has sat noisily by and had something to say as all four of his Dixon Diva Sisters have fallen in love. He thought he was done with women. He's wiped his hands clean of being the one in charge and responsible for his sisters and he can relax and watch their lives unfurl. Life has a funny way of changing all of our best laid plans and Conner is no different.Gabby Evans has been on the same paramedic team with Conner for quite a while so she thinks she knows what kind of man he is. However when her apartment burns down Conner ends up offering up a room at his apartment. This is great for the short time that Gabby needs before she starts medical school, however once Conner realizes that Gabby is not one of the guys, both of their plans may change. All of our favorites from The Bradford's Series, and all of Conner's sisters and his friends do make their appearances throughout the story and they always know how to keep Conner on his toes!I have been waiting for this book for a while but I was also extremely sad as well. For myself and other Bradford/Counting on Love fans this is the end of the road for what have become some of our best friends, and the people we've come to love. The relationships built in these books from the romantic ones to those between the guys and girls are ones that many of us wish we had in our own lives. You can't always pick up a book and know that while the main character may face heartaches or bumps in the road they will have people there to pick them up, and care for them no matter what. That's what you could always count on.I really hope we get one last novella down the road, just to check in on all of our favorites and maybe some of the new characters can ever get their own stories.... Nate's son and Gabby's brothers!!Thank you Erin for letting us get to know these amazing people and allowing them to become our friends too.
