Center gives us a complex woman to root for,  and she is a real heroine: a firefighter and EMT dealing with sexism in a very male dominated profession. When her family and personal history force her to move across the country and start over in a new fire department,  Cassie discovers new ways to address her past and build a new future.

This book completely surprised me but in the best way possible. Cassie is delightful and easy to root for. Every time I thought the book was going to fall into silly tropes, it zipped around them perfectly.

I had to come back and change my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars. Normally, 4 or 5 star ratings for me include the book successfully inciting some kind of emotion from me (loving the story, frustration maybe, dislike, etc) plus being a good book overall. I don't know. I was really invested in this story. The firefighter/firehouse setting was really interesting. And I just enjoyed following all the storylines. Also, proud that my hunch at the possible stalker turned out right (thought it before the characters did lol)! I'm excited and nervous to read another Katherine Center book (this one was my first!).
