About the book
She’s the one girl he can’t have.
With his dimpled grin and devilish charm, firefighter Gavin Bailey is hot as a five-alarm fire and twice as dangerous. The youngest of five brothers, he’s the daredevil of the family. Until the unexpected strikes and he finds himself sidelined.
Skylar Stanley’s life didn’t just fall apart. It exploded. Spectacularly. Dropped by her publisher and her agent, and dumped by her boyfriend, she suddenly has no place to live and a career circling the drain. She comes home to the quirky, feuding small town she hasn’t lived in since Kindergarten to pick up the pieces. And hopefully find her mojo.
Gavin would happily help Skylar get her groove back—in and out of the bedroom—except for one big problem. Her dad is Gavin’s boss, mentor, and the closest thing he’s ever had to a father.
As much as Gavin loves racing headlong into danger, Skylar is a risk of a different kind. One that he’s determined to avoid.
But the line between friends and lovers gets awfully blurry, and Gavin just might find the one thing that truly scares him.
Losing her.
Author’s note: The wild child of the Bailey clan meets his match in a shy writer who’s braver than she thinks. A sexy, feel-good story with pranks and shenanigans, Bailey-style brotherly love, a rescue kitten, plus delightfully dirty fantasies come true and a happily ever after that will make your heart burst with sunshine and rainbows.
The Bailey Brothers series is meant to be read in order. Start with book one, Protecting You.

3.5Let’s say rather 3.75 ⭐️ I really enjoyed Rushing In. Gavin and Skylar are complete opposites, which made their relationship fun to read from the very beginning. Skylar is anxious, introverted, and spends a lot of her time in her own head. As an author, she turns everything she sees into a story, and I thought that was such a unique part of her character. Gavin, on the other hand, is outgoing, adventurous, and the kind of person who runs toward danger instead of away from it. While other people think he has a death wish, he simply sees it as living life to the fullest. After Skylar’s world is turned upside down, she returns to her hometown and (re)connects with Gavin under unexpected circumstances. What starts as a friendship slowly develops into something more, and I really liked how naturally that progression felt. One of my favorite parts was seeing how Gavin unintentionally helped Skylar through her writer’s block and encouraged her to step outside of her comfort zone. I also enjoyed their dynamic because they balanced each other out so well. Gavin helped Skylar open up and experience life a little more, while Skylar gave Gavin someone who truly understood and appreciated him. The story touches on themes like anxiety, being an introvert, and finding your place, even if it doesn’t go into depth. Overall, it was a cute and enjoyable romance with likable characters and a relationship that felt genuine. It wasn’t the deepest book I’ve read, but I had a good time with it and really enjoyed watching their story unfold.

2.5Hmmm leider nur ok. Dieses Mal konnte ich dir Chemie zwischen den beiden Protagonisten nicht spüren. Die Handlung wahr eher langweilig und hat sich gezogen. Das einzige was mich am lesen gehalten hat, war Gram und ihre Weisheiten und die wenigen witzigen Wortwechsel zwischen den Nebencharaktere. Gavin ist so verrückt, zu ihm hätte jemand gepasst, der viel selbstbewusster und stärker ist.
