From Ashes

When Cassidy Jameson's best friend Tyler took her to Texas with him when he left for college, she was expecting his cousin, their new roommate, to be a Stetson-wearing cowboy since his family owned a ranch; not this incredibly gorgeous guy with a husky Southern drawl that seemed to make the world stop whenever she looked at him. Because of her past, she's only ever trusted two men in her life, Tyler and her dad whom passed away when she was six. But there's something about Gage that draws her to him in a way she can't explain, only problem? He's always telling Tyler that he doesn't want Cassidy living there and sees her as nothing more than his little sister.

Gage Carson was excited his cousin Tyler was coming to live with, and go to college with him. When he'd called to ask if he could bring his friend Cassi with him, Gage didn't care. Gage had heard about this mysterious friend since they were kids and felt like he already knew her. Nothing would prepare him for watching her jump out of Ty's Jeep though. Not only was Cassi the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen, but there was something about her that within seconds of meeting her, made Gage want to protect her, and make her his. Too bad Tyler made it a point to remind Gage on a daily basis that he was dating her and she was completely off limits.

For a year and a half, Gage and Cassidy dance around their feelings for each other as Tyler continues to keep them apart; until one day Tyler unknowingly pushes her right into Gage's arms. With Tyler unable to keep lying to them, they finally start a relationship both have been craving since their first meeting. But when an accident and disaster sends her back to Tyler and California, will Cassidy be able to come face to face with the demons from her past to live a life she and Gage deserve; or will the fact that she once again ran to Tyler be the final push that ends Cassidy and Gage for good?

**********

First off this is a tortuous book but I mean that in a good way!
My gosh it took for ever - years for Cassidy and Gage to finally figure out that Ty was keep them from each other- it was almost ridiculous and my heart was aching so bad for Gage. Cassidy had Ty but Gage he was all alone. Just when things are going as planned an event happens and scares Cassidy to leave and not tell Gage- again tortuous and heart wrenching I could just imagine him going out of his mind. Then when I thought it couldn't get worse Cassidy meets someone she had meet long ago and sparks fly. I was thinking there is no way that the author Molly McAdams is going to let this story go down like this having Cassidy fall in love with someone else- I was dying and couldn't put the book down at this point. I won't tell you anymore just go read it! Now the ending was awesome and Author Molly McAdams has a way of leaving no stone unturned when it comes to endings she really buttons it all up for us! If you haven't read Taking Chances then I suggest you read that one as well.
Hot steamy sex but no raunch.
