review 1: Gabrielle Evans is a woman who doesn’t need a man. Conner Dixon is a man who’s retired from saving the women in his life, now that his sisters are all otherwise engaged. When the two pair up you know sparks are going to fly and boy did they fly. They’ve worked together for two years and Conner never really noticed Gabby was a girl until her the night her apartment complex burns and he sees her in something besides the loose clothes and paramedic uniforms he’s accustomed to. It was just the way Gabby wanted it. She didn’t want to be another one of Conner’s women. Conner has a way with women. Always being exactly what they need even if it isn’t necessarily what he needs. It’s all very superficial and light until Gabby. He falls faster than a rock in a mill po... morend. It was funny to witness and about dang time. I love when I see a little of myself in the characters of the books I read. Ms. Nicholas has a way of doing that time and again. I, too, can change my own oil and I could do just fine without a man but I’m better with that someone who is there on the good days but especially on the bad days. It takes Gabby time to realize that and their journey is something to behold. Yes, it comical and yes, it’s hot and sweaty but most of all it is a believable love they share. I realize no series can continue indefinitely and this is the final book for this series this was the perfect ending. I cannot wait to see what Erin has in store for us next.
review 2: I just got to say that author Erin Nicholas saved the best story for last in her Counting For Love series. I absolutely loved Conner and Gabby's story in Up By Five. I had so much fun watching Conner finally realizing that Gabby had "breasts". LOL! It was great to see Conner squirm as his libido took notice of Gabby as a woman rather than just a co-worker or friend. OMG! Their sexy times were incredibly hot and spontaneous that involved furniture and food in which I'll never look at the same way again. I liked that Gabby was a strong, independent and sexy woman who was not afraid to speak her mind. I loved how well she knew Conner and called him out on his feelings concerning his sisters, lovers and his on-going "ribbing" with Mac about Sara. I really enjoyed the banter between Mac and Conner which always make me chuckle and definitely makes me want to begin reading The Bradfords series to see where it all began. I also liked Gabby's relationship with her brothers and the banter between all of them. It was really nice to see the whole gang again as they made appearances in this book. This author has created a family that I have come to adore and love and I'm really going to miss them. Thanks for writing such a wonderful story for Conner and a truly amazing series that made me smile. less
