I really like Savanna and Beau, like you don't know what he did for a long time

This series had some serious ups and downs for me, but in the end, I really loved it and cannot wait to read more from Molly McAdams. Like the other books in the series, Fire has a dual timeline giving you a better insight into the characters. Where this one differs is that it is definitely more heavily weighted on the chapters from the past, which I think worked perfectly for this story. Beau and Savannah are clearly people who were madly in love with each other, and getting to see where that all started was just fantastic.
I won't lie, I can struggle with a marriage in crisis trope, even knowing there will be happy ending, there is just something about them I don't always jive with, but I didn't have an issue with this one in the slightest. I think a major part of that was the dual timeline, but ultimately I completely understood where both characters were coming from and I loved the way they were ultimately able to respect the other while dealing with their own stuff.
This was great conclusion to the series and one I would recommend to anyone who enjoys the following.
✔️ Marriage in Crisis
✔️ Dual Timeline
✔️ Childhood Friends to Lovers
✔️ Mending Family Relationships
✔️ Small Town
✔️ First Person Dual POV
❕️ Check TW/CW

This book gives you all the feels! I don’t know how Molly McAdams does it, but she did agin. I’ve loved all the Dixon brothers and thought that Cayson would be my favorite, but let me tell you... Beau pretty much stole my heart. The amount of love and heart between Beau and Savannah was inspiring. The troubles that this couple have endured during their lives was shattering and filled me with anger. I wanted to shout at certain characters while reading and to help these loving characters out.
The conclusion of the Dixon brothers did what any good book does: make you fall in love with the characters, and send you on the rollercoaster of every emotion the characters are feeling.

Each one of these books follows the Dixon brothers and their childhood into adulthood. Their stories are sad to say the least. Each book ends in a happy ending but good god is it a journey. If you’ve read these books I’m curious to know who your favorite Dixon is. It’s funny, you like each Dixon as you finished the book I’m curious how you felt about them reading the next book.
HANDS DOWN Beau Dixon is my favorite. Throughout the entire series I genuinely disliked him. He was mean, rude, and just overall not a nice person. But once I got to his story I was completely and utterly falling for him!
My next favorite is probably a tie between Cayson and Hunter.
These boys went through a lot in their childhood and will probably break your heart. The author sure did an amazing job making you think you had a specific feeling about each brother until you got to his book.

I actually have no words and so many words for this book. Molly McAdams did it again! The last time I cried like this through a book of hers was Taking Chances and To The Stars. Beau was a character that I didn’t want to know or care to know, but I also wanted to know him. If you read the first three books know what I mean.
He was the fighter. The angry one. The one word man. He barely smiled. But for Savannah he did. Savannah was light and goodness. She was hope. She was the complete opposite of Beau, and for that she loved him with all of her heart.
We pick off right from the third book. Madison just told Hunter why she left 13 years ago. And that’s where we start with Beau and Savannah’s story. This story happens through flashbacks of the past and in the present. It explains Beau and Savannah through the eyes of their childhood to them trying to muddle their way though this hardship. It shows how angry, but also how good Beau was and is.
This book completely broke me. The pain in which both Beau and Savannah went through to repair the damage that one mistake 13 years ago caused had me sobbing into my pillow. Now, do I think Savannah had to put Beau through the pain and agony of not knowing whether their marriage would last by doing what she did? No. But I see that it was through the anger of just learning about the betrayal that had her making those decisions. Did I feel for Beau and notice him wanting to right his wrong? Absolutely. I fell completely in love with Beau. I fell in love with his selflessness, his goodness, his heart, and his love. He is the epitome of what a husband should be. He gave Savannah her dream by listening to her. That is why Beau is now the ultimate book husband of 2021.
