Hot fireman? Sizzling attraction? Secrets? Check, check and check! Kimberly Kincaid has all the ingredients of a hot and spicy story and she doesn't disappoint. Ava and Nick are both scarred and flawed and keeping secrets. And because this is the last part of the Pine Mountain series, you will recognize some of the characters if you have read the previous parts. If not, don't worry, you can perfectly read it as a standalone, but it is more fun if you reconnect with all the other characters as well.
In all a wonderful story, five sizzling stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

This took me a bit to get into the story because I kept waiting for Ava to go for the story over being friends (past lovers) with Nick. So, I was pleasantly surprised that she was kind of pushy to get story material but did not cross any boundaries, because really how could they get to their HEA if she did that!

Probably was hard for me to relate to Ava so it took me a bit to like her and forgive her for ghosting Nick all those years ago!

Loved how the story progressed and they got their issues resolved and found ways to move on past their previous hurts.

First I have to say it so sad to say goodbye to Pine Mountain. But at the same time, I want to say this book was wonderful. Going out with a bang.
Nick, a former firefighter, currently is a manager at a bar. Ever since he was injured on the job, years ago, he carries a weight on his shoulders, from the guilt and pain of that day, when also lost his best friend. Nick doesn’t think he can ever get over that. On his way to work one afternoon, he sees a commotion at the grocery, a fire. He pulls over when a woman starts screaming that her son is still in the store. Nick does what he was trained to do, runs in the back of the store searching for the boy. Now that he’s saved him, Nick is the hero, something he doesn’t want to be. Most of the people in town don’t know about his past, and so far he had kept it that way. Now everyone wants to interview him, but Nick won’t have anything to do with them. That is until Ava Mancusso shows up for a story. She’s someone that was part of his past, and he never got over her.
Seven years have passed and seeing Ava again, brings it all back. Nick realizes he wants another chance with Ava. Can keep his story private, or will go back to the newspaper and print. This could be a deal breaker for Nick.

"All Wrapped Up" delivers a captivating second chance at love romance, blending reluctant heroes, determined heroines, and a reunion after seven years filled with secrets and steamy scenes. Nick Brennan, settled in Pine Mountain as the manager of the Double Shot bar, becomes the town's hero after rescuing a boy from a burning building, only to come face to face with his past when Ava Mancuso, a journalist seeking a story, appears at the scene. Their difficult reunion unfolds with layers of trust issues and regrets, showcasing complex characters with deep emotional baggage. Despite their challenges, Nick and Ava find solace and happiness in each other, working through their past mistakes and insecurities. As their romance blossoms amidst the holiday chaos of a small town, the author skillfully keeps the focus on their compelling love story, making "All Wrapped Up" a captivating and stunning read.

This was a very entertaining and action packed holiday romance that I couldn't get enough of. It was so good and I loved the banter. This was such a great book! I loved it!

This was such a good book, I absolutely loved it and can’t wait to read more from this author! I will be recommending this to friends and family,

Romance is in the air. Kincaid is an auto buy for me and this one didn't disappoint. Engaging characters and an inventive plot. You want to quickly turn the pages. Romance done well.

Firefighters are so hot and so deserving of a hot story and this book does not disappoint. i loved it.

Enjoyable story! Wonderful main characters and supporting characters make this a wonderful story! Nick and Ava have a past but both have changed. Can the reconnect?

Nick is the manager of a bar in town. One day on his way to work he smells smoke and he finds a house burning he goes in and rescues a boy, and though this brings back memories you as the reader just don’t know what. Ava is a reporter who is given the task of finding the story by the editor of the local paper and he wants a story, not a fluff piece. As you go along with the story bits and pieces are refilled until you get to the end which all makes for a good ending. A good book with good characters.

All Wrapped Up is a cute story of small time life and an unexpected budding relationship between a wounded former firefighter Nick and a nosy. reporter Ava. The plot is unique and even includes some unexpected twists. I enjoyed this book and would read more by this author if given the chance. This is a story of healing, trust, and forgiveness. Good, solid winter read!

The book All Wrapped Up was an enjoyable read. I would recommend any book written by Kimberly Kincaid. Happy Reading!

I received an ARC of this book courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions expressed in this review are my own and given freely.

Whew, what a great read! A guy with some secrets and a girl who wants to know them all! This is the last in a series but definitely can be read on its own. I enjoyed this one immensely!

This book made me emotional, i definitely cried but it was such a beautiful story I couldn’t finish it fast enough.

This story will have you crying while you read the pain and anguish that Brennan went through. You will see how much Ava has gone through and her own torment walking away from Brennan years ago. This was an absolutely incredible story that I couldn’t put down til I finished it.

Big mistakes and huge secrets.

Ava and Brennan have a past 7 years ago, they had a summer love.
But now they are back in the same town, can the untold problems and secrets be solved.

A great finish for the series.

Loved it!

Have fun reading!

Holliday and Nick’s story was awesome. These two found each other after years apart. A fantastic read that kept you reading until the very end!!

Thank you to Netgalley for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book is a re-release, but it was one I had not had the chance to read before now. All Wrapped Up follows Nick Brennan and Ava Mancuso. The story starts off with a bang as Nick rescues a kid from a burning grocery store. And Ava, a reporter, decides to snuff off her fluff piece and be one of the first to report on the fire and the heroics of none other than her old college fling: Nick Brennan.

While the book was well written, I didn't really connect with the story or either character. The author has a good writing voice but there were also some points where the commentary seemed completely out of left field for me and it just came off as weird and strange, especially in the middle of a story like this.

4 stars! Was an easy and light read but didn't really gave me that oozing or bubbling feeling but still, a cute book!

Brennan is back in his own happily ever after story! He likes being the manager of the Double Shot but he is not totally happy with his life. A woman from his past reappears in his life after 7 years and now he can't keep his past a secret anymore. Can they rekindle their love? Will his continue to try to bury his past?

Brennan has a really interesting story. The author created a character that has a solid reason to be "hiding" in Pine Mountain. As his story is slowly revealed he becomes even more interesting. His story is full of angst and sadness and the author does a really good job of giving him a happy ending. He has a lot of emotional baggage to overcome before he can move on with his life. Ava is a good addition to Brennan's story because he needs a reason to slowly open up so he can move forward. She has an angst filled backstory but she's not as compelling a character as Brennan. There are lots of characters from prior stories. There are new characters and locations introduced. There is a bad guy.

This is a contemporary small town second chance firefighter bar romance. Jeez! Lots of tags on this story! Both characters are adults with careers. I would recommend reading the prior stories because Brennan is introduced in prior stories. I will read more from this author in the future.
