Rushing In: A Small-Town Romance (The Bailey Brothers Book 4) Kindle Edition

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.

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.

Such a fun story! Like the other Bailey brothers, Gavin has his quirks, but he is full of bravery and charm, but he met his match in shy, withdrawn Skylar. I like that Gavin is in a cast for a good portion of the story, because you get to know him on a quieter note. The personalities of Gavin & Sky are allowed to develop in slower more natural way. The side stories and characters are wonderful and are a great addition to the book as a whole. Up next is Logan & Cara, and this, too, looks to be a good read.

Rushing In (Bailey Brothers #4) by Claire Kingsley is a contemporary, small town romance told in first person, dual POV. It's book four in the Bailey Brothers series, and although it follows a different couple from the previous books, the series is designed to be read in order as each book builds upon the next and there's a mystery thread that runs throughout the series.

Gavin is the youngest Bailey brother, a firefighter, fearless daredevil and adrenaline junkie. When an accident leaves him with a broken leg and unable to work, he's bored out of his mind, but hasn't been able to stop thinking of Skylar Stanley from the moment they collided.

Skylar is an author who recently returned to Tilikum for a change of scenery after losing her agent, publisher, and boyfriend all on the same day. She's shy, introverted, and has a bad case of writer's block. When Gavin offers to be her first friend in Tilikum and show her the sights, she can't resist, despite the fact that he scares her - she's more drawn to him than she's afraid.

Gavin and Slylar have an instant chemistry and attaction to each other, but Gavin is determined to keep things as just friends because she's his mentor and boss's daughter. But pretty soon the pull between them is too hard to resist and Sky and Gav decide to enter into a friends-with-benefits arrangement. What will happen as lines get crossed and feelings develop? What if Gavin's boss finds out?

I loved Gavin and Skylar's love story! I loved them as characters and found them both very relatable. I absolutely adore Gavin! He's my favorite Bailey brother so far. I enjoyed getting to know the vulnerable side behind his daredevil exterior. This book had me smiling the whole time I read it. It was sweet, funny, romantic, adventurous, and so steamy! And after that epilogue, I can't wait to read Logan's story next.

This is the fourth book in the Bailey Brothers series. This book has a little bit of everything - sweet, fan your face sexy, hilarity, a continuing mystery, a long standing feud, epic pranks, family loyalty, drama and a little bit of danger. Gavin and Skylar’s love story has all the feels. Skylar comes back into town after her life implodes - professionally and personally. Gavin is the youngest of the Bailey brothers - the one without fear who has broken more bones than the rest of them combined. They meet after Gavin survives without injury after deploying his fire shelter in the middle of a wildfire and he steps off the sidewalk to go celebrate without looking both ways and Skylar hits him with her car and breaks his leg. Skylar’s father, Gavin’s Chief at the fire station, asks Gavin to help Skylar acclimate to the town and make friends since she is shy. Gavin agrees while promising not to date Skylar. Their friendship grows as do their feelings for each other. On their way to their HEA, Skylar has to come to terms with her past, embrace her anxiety, and find her writing mojo and Gavin has to learn to deal with fear for the first time. Like the first three books in this series, Rushing In includes a number of secondary characters, some we’ve met before and others are new. Rather than being overwhelming or detracting from the main love story, these characters are central to the main love story and to the heart of what makes small town Tilikum so wonderful and so hilarious. I am excited to hear what happens next for the Bailey brothers and rest of the town. With Rushing In, Claire Kingsley once again proves she’s a fantastic storyteller.

Lived Sky and Gavin’s story. I especially love Gavin’s character. He is so fun loving and hilarious. A free spirit. He compliments Sky’s personality and brings her out of her she’ll. Lots of heat and humour in this book. I especially love the Bailey boys shenanigans. Looking forward to reading the next chapter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adventures of Gav and Sky
Reviewed in India on July 10, 2021

This book is about the adventures of Gav and Sky. Gavin, the youngest of the Bailey Brothers is a hot firefighter with a charming smile. He likes to have a lot of fun and live his life to the fullest, he wanted to live big; I might add fear didn’t exist for him.
“Gavin Bailey hasn’t really grasped the concept of his own mortality yet”
Skylar Stanley was smart but shy, daydreamed about the most creepy and dangerous ways of murders for her books but scared of almost everything. She was the daughter of Chief Stanley.
“You and I both know if you’re presented with a cookie jar, you’re going to steal a cookie”
Skylar Stanley was the most beautiful girl he had ever laid his eyes on, but she was forbidden for him. Gavin was Skylar’s first friend in town. The hot firefighter was definitely attracted to shy author and vice versa. Their attraction was indeed not ready to be defeated by anything. One accident was all it took to change Gavin’s life entirely. For the first time in his entire life, Gavin was scared.
“Something actually scared Gavin Bailey”
This book was indeed another amazing writings of Claire Kingsley. The plots of Chief and Caroline were one of my favourite moments while reading. They were cute, funny and full of love. The wise words of Gram are always the best. No one could have figured out exactly what was Gavin going through; but Gram’s soothing words surely showed its effect. The mystery of Tillikum feud is getting more and more interesting; I am eagerly waiting to actually know what exactly the suspense is.
I really wanted to add all my favourite dialogues in the review, but they would be giving a lot of spoilers and I decided to go against that urge because this book really has a lot of mesmerizing moments.
“The Bailey’s are the most loyal men you’ll ever meet. They’re men of their word, every single one of them.”
If you really love to read a nice book with good comedy, fun, adventure, romance, passion, excitement and mystery. This series is for you. I will definitely recommend this book series to every reader.

Claire did it again. Just like the first books in the series Gavin and Skylars story hits you hard in the feels!!
It’s this perfect mixture of love story and stories of small town life with all its quirks - it makes me want to live in Tilikum.
Sky is exactly what wild and restless Gavin (his Grandma calls him Otter which couldn’t fit more perfectly) needs. She grounds him, gives his heart a home and he gives her wings.
A further part of the town’s mystery- the origin of the feud between the Baileys and the Havens- is revealed...looks like someone is desperately trying to keep the past buried!!!
Now I can’t wait to see if I’m right with Logans and Levis HEA...
A definite must-read!
