Second book by the author and this one was really good.
‘Things You Save In A Fire’ is a heart warming, feel-good story about love, forgiveness and strength against all odds. Cassie Hanwell is a firefighter who knows her job and loves it with all her heart. Circumstances arise and she has to move from her comfort zone in Texas to help her mum who needs her assistance due to some health challenges. She suddenly finds herself on a new job where she has to prove herself to the new crew who have never worked with a female fire fighter before and think women shouldn’t be part of the team. Also new to the team is a rookie and for the first time in 10 years, Cassie feels her heart flutter because of a guy. Cassie finds herself on a journey of self discovery, love and new beginnings.
I really enjoyed this one. It was funny, relatable and the characters were fun. Cassie’s character was one that I kept rooting for and the rookie too was such a cool guy. I enjoyed reading the parts with the two of them the most and I am glad the story ended the way I hoped it would. I also liked the way the story addressed the issues around how women are treated when they work in professions that are primarily dominated by men. As a geologist, I can relate to joining an all male team and the dynamics that play out because you are the only woman in the team.
This book I definitely recommend and I hope to read more by the author soonest.

I’m so glad you enjoyed this one!! I loved the audiobook, and it pretty much confirmed that I loved her writing, since it was my second book by this author. I’m so looking forward to her next book.
