I found the author through BlueSky, they posted some art of the characters and I knew I had to give this book a read.

I was immediately captivated by the story, world and its characters. And now I feel like I want to read everything Cyran Faringray has ever written, because I'm a fan of their writing style as well.

It's a slow burn, featuring a black cat fmc and a cinnamon roll mmc, both of them with skeletons in their closet.

When Trip showed up on Tamara's doorstep, it was over for me, I fell in love with him instantly and couldn't wait for them to get together. His accent got me, as did his patience with Tammy, and the way he beamed whenever she was nice to him or referred to him as hers around others.

And Tamara, I loved how badass she was, and how she didn't need anyone to protect her, and was even the one to protect herself and Trip when the occasion called for it. She's a loner who's touch-averse, which I can definitely relate to.

Following these two on their healing journey has been wonderful, and the ending was perfect, but I'd still love a sequel!

If you're looking for a unique and fun story, with good mental health rep and a romance that's guaranteed to make you smile, look no further, Fire on Fire is right here!!
