Burning Down The House was the first book I have read by Allie Gail.  I really enjoyed reading this book it had the perfect amount of mystery,suspense, humor, and romance.  When I read the synopsis my interest was piqued.  It exceeded all my expectations then some.  The story was filled with some intense twists and turns.  It had me guessing till the very end.Sara moves back home to live with her father and finish her senior year of high school.  She has been living with her Mother since her parents divorce.  Upon returning she finds out that Rob has taken up residence in her childhood home.  Rob's parents were killed in a house fire.  Sara's Father decides to take him in being that his parents were friends of his.  The last Sara remembered Rob wore dark clothes and make-up and was considered a goth.  When she returns she finds a totally transformed Rob.  He is now replaced with a beautiful, sullen, and surprisingly athletic Rob.  Sara is instantly attracted to the new Rob.  She doesn't have to worry about the attraction because Rob seems to want nothing to do with her.  He is rude and plain mean!  She tries to keep her distance, but they do attend the same school.  Which makes avoiding him extremely difficult.  While they are forced to spend time together they start to get to know one another and quickly develop strong feelings for each other.  Only problem is Sara's Dad.  They start a relationship and decide to hide it from Sara's Father.  Sara soon discovers Rob may be hiding more then their relationship.  When strange things start happening will Sara be able to put her trust in Rob?  Or will Sara be the one to get burned in the end.I loved Sara and Rob in this book.  The relationship that evolves is a sweet and tender one.  The close bond these characters form is simply lovely.  They go from a tense relationship to one of trust and love. That paired with the cloud of suspense and mystery kept me on my toes.I would definitely recommend this if you are a fan of this genre.  This is one good book and I look forward to reading more from this author.
