Kymmie Norris's Reviews > Rushing In

Just when I think Claire can’t write a better book, she goes and proves me wrong. Not only does she write great heroes, and super-steamy car scenes, not to mention a ridiculously-interesting town feud—that could honestly carry an entire series on its own—I forget where I was going with this. Anyway.

Claire’s books always have that amazing ability to make me wish I lived inside them. And this was no different. She does a great job at writing relatable heroines. Skylar is introverted and often anxious, which I can understand quite well. If I can’t live in Tilikum, I would love to live in her head.

Gavin doesn’t try and force her to do anything, but encourages her to test her limits, almost without realizing he’s doing it. I’ve often wished I had Cooper Miles (from Reckless Miles) for a best friend, but Gavin Bailey would be a close second. Of course, I’d always take Cara, too. Anyone who will enact revenge for you is a great person to have on your side.

That’s not to say he isn’t without his own flaws. He has abandonment issues that are buried deep down, so deep that he isn’t even aware of it. It will take something big to break him, and something equally big to put him back together again.

And that epilogue! Dude, I’m almost disappointed that we’re getting another Dirty Martini book before the next Bailey book. But I know that one will be awesome, too, so I won’t stay mad for long. The anticipation may kill me, but it will be so with it.
