About this ebook

Olive Thornbury only had one crush in high school, and his name was Asher Gallo. She was smitten with him from the first time she had laid eyes on him. But instead of acting on how she felt, she kept her nose stuck in a book, finding safety in the words rather than emotions.

Asher had never thought of Olive as anything more than a friend. She was aloof, preferring to read books. instead of spending time with her friends. And when she moved away almost a decade ago, their friendship quickly disintegrated.

But when Olive returns to visit a local university, she never expected to run into a very grown up and even more handsome Asher. And what starts off as a rekindling of an old friendship turns into a fiery relationship.

Do the opposites have enough in common to go the distance? Or will their combustible chemistry cause the flames to turn everything into cinders?

Ratings and reviews

As always pure PERFECTION!! What a way to bring the second generation last " kid " to his forever love. I think you are right about how they were just too different in their younger days and they just needed the time apart to grow into who the adult version they become. It didn't work for me but it works for them.One thing you mentioned about the (Christmas that Grampa wanted) and I got excited about it. Is there going to be a heart whole book on what they did with all the relatives for the holiday in the snow. I am very much looking forward to that. Keep up the Great work. My day is better for it.

A Fun and Adorable Read! I love it when a book starts right off with the main couple and stays that way throughout the whole story. Cinder is that book and we get pages and pages of sexy, amusing drama filled storyline! It's the perfect light hearted read where the once nerdy girl gets her crush! I enjoyed it plus I love the way it intrigues me to what possibly could be another series. I don't know anyone who has read a "Gallo" book and didn't finish it with a smile on their face! I love the Gallos!!!

I LOVE Asher and Olive! What happens when high school friends and secret crushes meet 10 years later? When they meet in a grocery store parking lot the sparks fly and their friendship is instantly rekindled, and he will not let her go this time. This has the sibling/cousin banter that makes you laugh out loud along with the usual family interference that makes the Gallo's so great. This is the perfect end to the FL Gallo kids and a great teaser for Tate's book!
