ALL WRAPPED UP

Romance Contemporary | Holiday

Nick Brennan is the bar manager at the Double Shot in Pine Mountain. One morning while heading to work, he smells smoke and sees Joe's Grocery on fire. Nick used to be a fire fighter and when he learns a little boy is still inside, he doesn't think twice. He runs in with no back up or even any protective gear on. When he comes flying out with little Matthew on his back he is instantly labeled the local hero and everyone wants to know his story. His only comment is no comment. Nick knows he is no hero and doesn't want all the attention that comes along with what he did. ALL WRAPPED UP is the unwrapping of Nick's past and what happened seven years ago.

Ava is a local reporter who used to live in Pine Mountain. Seven years ago, after her summer job was over, she packed her bags and left without a word to anyone. Now she is back and on her way to a local school to cover an event and smells smoke. After almost being run off the road by fire trucks and ambulances, she turns around and follows them. She needs a big story to prove to her boss she learned her lesson five years ago. This could be her big break. ALL WRAPPED UP is where Ava finds herself staring into the delicious eyes of the guy who's heart she broke seven years ago. Yes that's right, Nick Brennan! She can't believe her eyes. Oh, their story is so good. Nick has never gotten over her.

They both have secrets, and those secrets have left them damaged. They both come to Pine Mountain with lots of emotional baggage, and both feel unsure of their futures. Nick is hurting from something in his past where he lost his career and his best friend. Will he ever be able to tell Ava about what happened? Can he trust her, or is she just after a big story? Once again, Kimberly Kincaid has me falling in love with the main male character, and my heart was breaking for poor Nick.

I still can't believe ALL WRAPPED UP is the final book in the Pine Mountain series. I have come to love all of the townspeople, and have giggled and swooned along with them. I had never read Kimberly Kincaid before this series, but now I'm excited to find her older books and I am really looking forward to a new series. Revisiting Pine Mountain was like going home for me. Everyone knows everyone else and they are all in your business just like any other small town. The sexual tension between Nick and Ava is going to drive you wild and have you unable to put down their story until you reach the very last page.

SUMMARY

Talk about a hot lead… Christmas is coming to Pine Mountainβ€”and it has a way of stirring up memories, good and bad. Nick Brennan may manage the Double Shot bar smooth as good whiskey, but his past is a hot mess. When he runs into a burning building to save a little boy, some people start thinking there’s more to his heroism than holiday spirit. And then the local reporter assigned to the story turns out to be gorgeous Ava Mancuso, the girl who got away. Ava knows what it’s like to have a past. But the changes she’s seen in Nick since she knew him do more than set off her natural curiosityβ€”his warm eyes and gruff charm have her instincts fired up. Still, all the chemistry in the world doesn’t erase history, even when Nick invites her to his little sister’s mistletoe wedding. Does he have a heart under all those secrets? Or is this going to be just another Christmas past?
