I first read a book by Katherine Center a year ago and that was thanks to Book of the Month. That book was How To Walk Away, which easily skyrocketed onto my huge list of favorite books. So, once I saw Things You Save In A Fire on Netgalley, I had to have it. I was fearing I would get declined, but to my surprise I got an approval, which made my day. I’ve been saving this arc for a few months now and just finally and excitedly got to it. Things You Save In A Fire just made Katherine Center a favorite author of mine and an auto buy author. She proves to write a rom-com while throwing important lessons into her novels. If I could give this book more then 5 stars I would.
I for one, loved seeing Cassie as a female firefighter with a tough past, which makes her extremely guarded and to push down all her emotions so she won’t feel-until an incident and her estranged mother’s health makes her move across country. She has to defy odds and prove herself while not falling in love with the rookie. This book had me laughing, squealing, and shed a few tears, which this whole combination made my dog look up at me to where he thought I was crazy.
