Catching Fire

So hot! This is a sweet series, but this one seemed extra steamy to me. And it gave me so many feels. I loved dirty talking Mick, but I adored the strong, heroic Faith. There was plenty of drama, too. Just enough to be a page turner, but without giving you anxiety.

Teddy is always a great narrator, but something about this performance was even more incredible. Lili was amazing as always, but it’s her writing that makes this book so entertaining to read / listen to.

What a great story! I really loved the honesty between Mick and Faith! They had a few false starts, but even when it might not be what the other person wants to hear, each is very honest about their feelings and their struggles. The smolder and chemistry is there throughout their slow burn relationship, which made the build up that much more fantastic. While at times you could tell that these two were on the younger side, they had a maturity that shone through, especially when faced with the inevitable challenge all romance couples go through. And they were a fun couple….I would have loved to been on that road trip with them!
Lili Valente just continues to write stories that keep me entertained and coming back for more!

Lili Valente has been one of my must read authors for years. That, in combination with it being a small town romance, made Catching Fire a definite addition to my reading library. I first met Mick and Faith in book one of this series and was so excited to finally get their story. Ms. Valente definitely delivered another fantastic and entertaining romance.

Mick and Faith live in the small town of Bliss River and have known each other a long time. But after one unexpected kiss which they shared under the Mistletoe at the Fireman’s Ball, neither Mick nor Faith can get that moment out of their minds. Though they both have experiences in their past that they have a hard time overcoming, they ultimately agree to spend time together. But Mick and Faith both agree to keep things simple as neither of them is looking for any kind of a long-term relationship. But the more time they spend together, they both begin to open up to each other which leads Mick and Faith to the realization that the feelings they are sharing go deeper than they ever expected. As their feelings grow stronger, both Mick and Faith realize that the “keep it simple” relationship they initially agreed upon may, in fact, be so much more.

Mick and Faith shared such an intense chemistry and the sparks of love they shared set my kindle ablaze. Catching Fire is a fun and entertaining story of learning to open up and placing your trust in someone which will finally lead your hearts to a love that will last forever.

Although Catching Fire is the second book of this series, it can be read as a standalone. But I guarantee once you read it, you won’t be able to stop there. I love this series and I can’t wait for Maddie and Jamison’s book.
