Up by Five is a wonderful conclusion to the Counting on Love series. I am a huge Erin Nicholas fan and have loved every book that she has written, but I can honestly say that this is one of my favorites. She has this way with her writing that makes the characters so real to life that it makes me feel like I know them and cannot help falling in love with each and every one of them. I truly enjoy how I can picture the scenes in my head as I’m reading, and that I can laugh, cry, and even yell at the characters like they are all my friends. Erin’s stories are a fantastic escape from the normal everyday routine.Conner Dixon has raised his four younger sisters since their father passed away when he was only seventeen. Now, that they are all happily involved in relationships with men they love he’s decided he does not need any other women in his life for a long period of time. He loves his job as a paramedic, and enjoys the crews he usually works with. The friendships he has gained through work are ones he would not give up for anything. When one of his female crewmates needs a place to live he offers her the spare room in his apartment. Since he’s never been interested in anything other than friendship with her he knows that nothing will happen between them while she’s there. There’s nothing wrong with helping a friend, right?Gabby Evans is a member of Conner’s ambulance crew, and she’s never given him a reason to look at her as anything other than a fellow paramedic, but when she moves in with him temporarily Conner starts to notice things about her that he never has before. She is definitely not the type of woman that Conner dates, and she’s starting medical school soon, but the more they spend time together the harder it is going to be when she has to leave.Gabby has only been with Conner for two days and she is dealing with family problems and Conner cannot stop himself from finding out what it is and helping her solve the family crisis. Can he help her without getting involved too much? Or will he fall head over heels in love with the one woman he never thought would grab ahold of his heart?
