He has a few messy layers too, in the form of a secret he has carried around since he was a child that weighs him down, a secret that could potentially crush his father if he were to ever find out.Īside from really enjoying reading about Cassie and the Rookie individually, I was of course rooting for them to get together.

But it’s not all sunshine and roses for the Rookie either. He’s practically perfect in every way that matters and Cassie is finding him pretty hard to resist in spite of her no dating rule. He’s sweet, polite, and he even bakes a mean chocolate chip cookie. He’s adorable, like a Golden Retriever in a firefighter’s uniform. She doesn’t have the time or interest in doing either…until she meets the Rookie.ĭon’t even get me started on how precious the Rookie is. Cassie has made a conscious choice not to date and not to fall in love. While she’s calm, cool, and collected when it comes to putting out fires and saving lives, she’s the opposite when it comes to all areas of her personal life, especially her rocky relationship with her mother and her non-existent love life. She’s scrappy, smart, strong, and she’s very good at what she does – the best honestly, and she knows she has to be if she’s going to be taken seriously. She’s one of those messy, complex characters that I love so much. Cassie, a female firefighter trying to make it in what is traditionally a male-dominated profession, is impossible not to root for. I really adored Cassie from the moment we are introduced to her. The writing is excellent, the characters are well developed – both the main characters and the secondary characters, and Cassie’s journey is such a compelling one to follow on every level. It’s just one of those wonderful books that checks off all the boxes I look for in a read. I’m just going to throw it out there right now and say that Things You Save in a Fire was a 5 star read for me. Moving in with her after all these years is awkward, to say the least. Then there’s also the fact that Cassie’s mother abandoned her when she was 16 and Cassie has pretty much written her off ever since.

Cassie is a superstar firefighter at her precinct in Texas, but it’s a whole new ballgame when she has to start over in another city. It follows Cassie Hanwell, a young woman who unexpectedly has to uproot her life and relocate from Texas to Boston to take care of her ailing mother. Katherine Center’s Things You Save in a Fire is a heartfelt, engaging story about family, love, and the power of forgiveness.
