Description

He’s a former firefighter with secrets. Her career depends on uncovering them—no matter how much she wants to protect him. Hiding out and managing a small-town bar is the perfect way for Nick Brennan to forget his haunted past as a firefighter. But when he saves a boy from a burning building, he finds himself smack in the middle of a huge media spotlight. Even worse, the headstrong reporter assigned to break to story is Ava Mancuso, a.k.a. the woman who got away. Seven years have passed since she ended their scorching summer fling with barely a word. Brennan’s not about to give her a second chance…or a career-making scoop. Ava never thought she’d see Brennan again, let alone have to rely on him for the story that will save her job. They strike an unexpected bargain, and soon their old hurts give way to brand-new chemistry that burns hotter than ever. But Ava knows there’s more to the sexy, brooding bartender than he’s telling her. When his heartbreaking past becomes the story of the year in the middle of his sister’s Christmas wedding, will their love survive the spotlight?

I absolutely loved All Wrapped Up! Kimberly Kincaid has once again delivered another wonderful romance in All Wrapped Up, the seventh book in her Pine Mountain series. Kimberly Kincaid has once again provided her readers with amazing characters. I love how all the characters in All Wrapped Up feel like best friends and I loved catching up with them! Who does not love hot sexy men, strong, passionate females, and loving friends, who always support one another? Kimberly Kincaid continues to deliver all that and so much more. I really enjoyed All Wrapped Up and am looking forward to reading the other books in the Pine Mountain series. Kimberly Kincaid has once again shown that she is an amazing storyteller. All Wrapped Up did not disappoint, it was impossible to put it down and love every moment on every page. All Wrapped Up is the story of Ava Mancuso, a reporter for the Riverside Daily, and Nick Brennan, bar manager of the Double Shot, and former firefighter. Nick and Ava originally meet the summer following their college graduations on Sapphire Island, where they had a summer fling. Ava left Sapphire Island unexpectedly and never said good-bye to Nick. Seven years later, Nick rescues a small boy from a fire and saves his life. Everyone wants his story, but Nick is not sharing any of the details with the press. Ava shows up in Pine Mountain to get the story. After spending time together, Nick decides to let Ava tell his story for the Riverside Daily. As Ava and Nick spend more time together working on the story things quickly change between them. Nick returns to his hometown of Fairview for his sister Ellie’s wedding. At the wedding Nick comes face-to-face with his past. I love the chemistry between Ava and Nick, and the conversations between them, I especially love the secrets that they share with one another. Nick shares with Ava that he did become a firefighter like he dreamed that summer, and what happened to him that he gave up his dream. Ava shares with Nick the real reason she left Sapphire Island and why he could not locate her after she left. An unexpected plot twist threatens Ava and Nick’s relationship. I love the changes that Ava and Nick are willing to make in their lives to have a life with one another. I loved catching up with some of the other characters in the series. I love the ending of Ava and Nick’s love story. All Wrapped Up contains all the things that I have come to love most and expect in a Kimberly Kincaid story, romance, great characters and setting, bittersweet moments and the plot twist that ties it all together. Amazing story. It was impossible to put it down. Highly recommend this wonderful romance. I received an advanced copy from the author.
A second chance at love!

This is a story of sexy, romantic, full of hope and redemption. I loved how Ava and Brennan were able to over come separate traumas in their pasts in order to realize their love for each other. Even if it did take Brennan a little longer to figure it out. This was a great second chance romance with a realistic feel to it.
