5.0
This my third reread. Logan and Isabel were friends as children/teenagers, they also had a virginity pact, where they would lose it to each other, if they hadn't already, before leaving for college/university.
She lost her virginity to him, was attacked by her mom's boyfriend and left for college feeling like she had betrayed her best friend, Logan's sister, as well. She hasn't spoken to either of them since.
Now she's back and hiding why from everyone, her brother has a booty call that he can't reschedule so she winds up staying in Logan's motel that he's renovating, the close quarters lead to confidences about what she is running from, the depth of their friendship was amazing. You can feel the long term affection they have for each other and when they physically reconnect, the fireworks and steam between them might not be overly described but you can still feel it.
She cares pretty deeply about everyone she forms relationships with and you can see how generous she is with her time, and how they care about her just as much. Logan is a huge softy who collects abandoned animals that all seem to wind up living in the firehall with all the other big softies who work there.
