Review: Another delightful Andrew Grey book
Rating: 5 out of 5

Strengthened by Fire continues the story of Lee and Dirk, although it is not necessary to have read the other story first.  Their fire house is in danger of being closed and they desperately need funds for renovation to stave off the closure.Lee has a plan - which everyone seems to like except Dirk - of a chicken and beefcake dinner, marketed towards the women in town, served by hunky firemen wearing only boots, hats, and firepants.  Dirk has continued to grow in his relationship with Lee, but he almost puts that relationship in jeopardy until another firefighter literally slaps him upside the head and makes him realize he needs to be supporting Lee.It was wonderful to have the Cafe Belgie folks helping the firefighters, and I got a kick out of Billy showing the firefighters how to carry food trays and on first try the guys dropped them all. Just a delightful read.  I hope Mr. Grey has more stories of his Carlisle characters in store for us.
