Once again Molly McAdams has had me reeling from start to finish! Just as in Taking Chances, she has riled up so many emotions in one book! All of the ups and downs... the good the bad..... This book is definitely one to read!
My heart can’t take it. I swear I connected more with this book than anything. The Phoenix represents so much to me. I even had my fiancé name his tarantula Phoenix. I maybe not have been like Cassidy but I understand her. I love her and her strength. From the ashes one can always start anew. Like the song ashes by Celine dion. Let beauty come out of ashes. That’s Cassidy’s song. She deserves everything. I love her and gage. Tyler is her best friend forever. Even in trying time she still found the light. She still kept going. She made connections and she did everything she could not to let her past bring her down. She struggled at times yes but she made everyday worth living.
WOW! Fast becoming one of my favorite authors! LOVED Taking Chances and From Ashes was just plain awesome too! Can't wait to read more from Molly!!
I actually don't know how to rate this book. This book has to be THE most frustrating books I've ever read. Sooooo many misunderstandings because they didn't talk to each other. A character that was such a nasty piece of work that I wanted to punch him, but the worst bit was the forgiveness - WTF? But then I realised Molly must be a really forgiving person because I remember having an issue with forgiveness with Taking Chances. There were parts of this book that I loved, but way too many bits that I was frustrated or just downright angry. Usually I love books that make me feel so many emotions, but the bad definately out weighed the good. I was confused with the need for the Connor situation but I have to say that I loved Gage.
This book was an emotional rollercoaster. There were times i wanted to throw my kindle at the wall because i was soo annoyed, times i was falling in love with Gage, and times i just wanted to punch Tyler. It was an amazing read and proves how much people need to communicate, most of the initial problems come from the fact that Cassidy and Gage don't voice their feelings to each other but to Tyler.
Soo much happened in this book i can't believe it was only one book. I was completely blown away by this story and now can't wait to read more of Molly's writing.

I have to be honest, this was cruising along between 2-3 stars for most of the book. The character development of Cassidy and the HEA is what saved this for me. I think there was too much unnecessary drama and too many potential love interests or guys sniffing around. I didn't really understand the 180 of Tyler's behavior either. I found a lot of this just plain unbelievable.
On the positive side, I really loved Gage and how his feelings for Cassidy never wavered even under the pressure of Tyler's lies. I am definitely a girl who prefers a HEA, and sometimes I feel like authors should explore it more and not just cut the story off after the couple finally gets together. That being said, and I cant believe that I am going to say it...this book dragged it out too much and added another unnecessary dramatic issue.

I liked it ok, but it was a little cheesy/juvenile at times.
I read Taking Chances and Stealing Harper by Molly McAdams and loved them both. I love her writing. I got this book and loved the build up of the characters in this story. Ty definitely made me not like him at a few points, but the story and the love is clearly there. I love that the book ends without leaving you hanging or waiting for a sequal.
I gave it a higher rating because this story kept me interested. The only flaw was it was never ending. I love the way Molly writes and I love her dramatic story lines, but this book seriously just kept going. I think it either could have ended earlier or been split up into two different books.
Now the characters I became obsessed with expect Cassie is so frustrating I feel she really just isn't an intelligent girl. She just kind of have up on everything so quickly, she didn't try to pursue anything for her life except a job at Starbucks. She is so dependent on other people it's frustrating. She also NEVER knew what she wanted she was constantly indecisive. Cassie needed a backbone.
Besides that I completely loved the book. I've read it a couple times when I get bored, but it really is an entertaining storyline! And if you need a long book for a plane ride or something like that, this is your book because it is like the Mary poppins purse of books. It. Just. Keeps. Going.
