Daisy Harris is one of the few authors I can honestly say if she writes it I will read it. I've loved every book of hers that I have ever read. Her writing, the characters, the world she creates, and the situations she puts her characters in always draws me in immediately and keeps me there until the end. I typically read her books in one sitting. I just can't put them down once I start them. With her newest Fire and Rain series she treats readers to the college boys that she does so well and adds hot firemen. Firemen are always hot!I have to admit I loved Tomas and his struggles with his sexuality. His type of closet was new for me. His type of closet also made for the progression of a relationship with Jesse very intense at times. Jesse is out, but he still has his own struggles to deal with. Jesse is having a rough go due to his coming out. In fact that is what brought him and Tomas together in the first place. Jesse has been living on his own for a couple of months when his apartment goes up in flames. Things initially work well for Jesse and Tomas when they are alone in their own place, but when life happens and they cannot just be alone with each other readers get to go along with them in their struggle to find their happily ever after.The happily ever after of From the Ashes was another thing I truly loved about this book. When Jesse and Tomas finally get there it is not all hearts and flowers and perfection in pretty packaging. They will still have to deal with things that are not always pleasant. They will have to put up with some aggravation from family members. They have each other and they have figured out how they work best. The emotions that come with it made it feel real and plausible. I liked the way Daisy ended their tale and look forward to the next in her new fireman series.book provided by the publisher for the purpose of an honest review
