Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press, and Katherine Center for the opportunity to read and review her latest novel - another 5 star read! I loved her last book, How to Walk Away, and this one didn't disappoint.
Cassie is a female firefighter in Austin TX - one of the bright stars in the department. Until the night she is getting an award and punches the presenter on stage. All of a sudden, Cassie's carefully controlled life is spinning out of her control. Her long-estranged mother calls from Massachusetts where she has lived since walking away from Cassie and her dad on Cassie's 16th birthday. Her mom is having vision issues and needs Cassie's help. Her new job in a fire department near her mom is anything but what she is used to. As the only female firefighter, she has to try and prove herself at every turn. The only bright spot is the rookie who started the same day as Cassie. But Cassie doesn't do love.
This is just a heartwarming story about forgiveness, family, and being true to one's self. Plus, I loved all the firefighting action in this book. For the last 25 years, I have worked for a chief firefighter who operates a school teaching applicants how to become firefighters. It's good for all of us to learn a bit more about their lives because someday our lives might depend on them.
Highly recommended!
