Gavin is the youngest and most fearless of the Bailey brothers. He loves challenges and participating in outrageous stunts. His family often refers to him as having a death wish, but he just sees himself as living life to the fullest. Like two of his brothers, he's a firefighter. Skylar, who's the daughter of the fire chief, comes back to live in the small town after she is suddenly and unceremoniously dumped by her literary agent/ex-boyfriend and given less than a day to vacate his apartment because his married girlfriend (he's been cheating on Sky) is moving in. Despite twelve, highly-successful previous novels, Sky's been suffering writer's block for months and has been dropped by her publisher. She meets Gavin in an unusual way, but their attraction to each other is immediate. Gavin, who has a playboy, love'em and leave'em reputation, suggests to Sky's dad that he make himself available as a platonic "good will ambassador" to Sky, show her around the area, and introduce her to people. Sky is awkward in social situations and has a hard time connecting with people and making friends. But the "friends only" arrangement becomes impossible for them to maintain. Gavin and Sky's story is interesting and romantic as it unfolds. We see new layers to Gavin's personality underneath his surface charm, including a long-buried hurt related to his family situation. The heartwarming closeness between the brothers and the grandmother showcased in the previous books is still apparent. Cara, a secondary character from the previous books, remains very entertaining. I love the way she unabashedly and ferociously protects/avenges those she's adopted as part of her small inner circle. I'm highly anticipating Cara and Logan's story in the next book.
