About this listen
Love is overrated, and I have the third-degree relationship burns to prove it, courtesy of my ex. I’m done with romance.
Then I meet the world’s funniest, sexiest lady firefighter and all my “staying single” plans go up in smoke.
The problem? Faith’s even more gun shy when it comes to love than I am.
But I have a plan. First, I’ll prove to Faith that she can trust me with her heart. Next, I’ll keep showing up until she believes it.
In just a few weeks, we’re both falling hard, and I’m positive I’ve found the woman I've been waiting for.
Then, my past comes back to haunt me in a way I never imagined possible, putting my future at risk. But I'm not about to give up on forever with Faith, not without one hell of a fight.

Story
I’m the station’s youngest fire chief, a grown man, and fully in my right mind - which means I’m not going to fall for the one who got away. That’s not the kind of person I am. Second chances are like skipping leg day - I don’t do that. Ever. But I wasn’t counting on Naomi buying me at the firefighter charity auction. Now I’m forced into a month of dates with the one woman who cuts through my defenses like no one else, and I’m starting to think maybe she’s right...maybe we are different people than the teenagers who failed at love.

Story
Begging my brother’s best friend - a.k.a NHL superstar Ian Fox - to help me ditch my V-card wasn’t part of my “make it big in NYC” plans. But after years of being “cute little Evie”, I’m tired of waiting for Mr. Right. I’m ready for Mr. Right Now, and Ian is everything I’ve ever wanted in a first time. He’s kind, funny, confident, and has a legendary stick.... And yes, my brother will murder us if he finds out, but we’re both grown-ups. We can keep a secret. We have to, since I just landed an art-therapy job working with his troubled team.

She claims to hate me more than karaoke and liverwurst combined, and that's before she finds out I'm her new boss...Yes, Princess Alexandra and I have both been keeping big secrets. The spoiled royal bit is just our cover, a smokescreen we hide behind to keep our counterintelligence work from the people we love. Being spies, we can't let anyone too close. But close is exactly what we'll be pretending to be on our first mission posing as lovers. I honestly can't decide which will be harder - taking down a notorious drug lord or keeping my growing attraction to Alexandra under wraps.

The things I want to do to my sweet, kindergarten-teaching, mitten-crocheting best friend Libby Collins are 10 different kinds of wrong. Maybe 20. But I'm a firm believer in teaching by example, and by the end of our first sex lesson, we've graduated to a hands-on approach to her education: my hands all over her, her hands all over me, and her hot mouth melting beneath mine as I prove to her there isn't a damned thing wrong with the way she kisses.

I didn’t know bridesmaid was code for babysitter for the bride’s brother, but if that’s what my best friend needs of me for her dream wedding to go off without a hitch, that’s what I’ll do. Even if Theo Monroe has been a pain in my rear since third grade. Even if he should be responsible enough to not wreak havoc at his sister’s destination wedding.

As I fly out the door, I make sure to swipe the thing my ex loves best–the VIP tickets he won to a hockey game, complete with the chance to spend an evening with the city’s two biggest NHL stars. I can’t wait to snap selfies with my ex’s idols and rub it in his face.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

I’ve got a list of people I absolutely don’t ever want to be stuck with on a boat, or a plane, or a train, and it starts and ends with the broody, grumpy, too-sexy-for-my-own good Axel Huxley. Also known as this romance novelist’s number one nemesis. The man is legendary for his mighty pen and his even mightier scowl. I tried to work together with the cocky thriller writer once upon a time, but the two of us are like vodka and good decisions. We don’t play well together.

Holden Henry is every girl’s dream—kind, funny, outgoing. A catch in every sense. Despite my wrong-side-of-the-tracks upbringing, he’s been my friend forever. He has no idea I’ve had more-than-friends feelings for him for years, and I intend to keep it that way. When I’m forced to return to the small town where we grew up, I’m faced with a big, fat problem. Being a good pal, Holden offers me a too-tempting solution: a marriage of convenience. It’s a crazy plan...but I’m desperate enough to try it. Besides, he’s not just saving me; we’ll be helping each other.

I loved Mick from the get...he was charming and kind, loving and caring, and SEXY!!!!
Faith is such an awesome gal...she loves to help others, and often forgets her own happiness to make sure others get theirs. She was about as closed off as you can get till Mick wormed his way into her soul. They are so cute I never wanted their story to end!
This story was fire!

Mick was such a swoony and determined male lead. He was so taken by Faith, instantly, and he knew that she was also attracted to him. I'm so glad that she was able to get out of her own head and give him a chance.
I love the narration by Teddy Hamilton and Lili Valente, too. They both really embodied the characters, and they had such spirit and emotion. Lili as Faith was strong and determined, and you could hear the transition in her voice as Faith learned to open herself up to Mick and allowed herself to become more vulnerable.
I really enjoy small-town romances so much, and this is just a stellar example of that feeling you get as a reader when you get to characters better, and you get to revisit prior main characters, too.
Another great small town romance

Faith is a strong, independence female in a male-dominated industry. She doesn't want or need a relationship BUT she can't stop thinking about that kiss with Mick.
Mick was burned by a bad relationship but that kiss isn't far from his mind either. Mick and Faith are drawn to each other and can't stay away. He is so sweet and wants to take care of her (even though she doesn't need it). He's her rock when they need it the most. There is balance in their relationship and they help hold each other up and make each other stronger.
Teddy's voice was perfect for Mick and Lili's smooth tone fit Faith to a t. Both narrators gave wonderful performances!

Faith is a force to be reckoned with. The only female firefighter in her small town, she has worked hard to be where she’s at. Faith has been so used to depending on herself that when Mick comes back into town, she’s thrown off her routine. Mick is the brother of Maddy and Naomi who’s back home after graduating college. Mick is smitten by Faith and asks her out. When she needs to leave for an emergency, he volunteers to go with her and all the chemistry they have, sparks to life.
Mick is amazing. His attitude and personality are just so perfect. He’s there for his sisters and does what he can to help his friends. Mick immediately stepped up to help Faith when she needed it and was completely honest with her. Faith grew so much as a person with a little help from Mick. She needed that push and he was there to do it.
I love Lili narrating her own stories, it adds a special touch to the story. Teddy Hamilton was great, per the norm. He was the perfect choice to narrate Mick.
Another amazing story by Lili!

Things seem to be going fine between Mick and Faith. Both are taking their time getting to know each other. When events from both their pasts come back to the present, possibly stalling...or ending their budding relationship. The supporting characters (main characters in previous books) play such a vital part in all these stories, you really get to know them, and I love that.
I really love this series. Who doesn't like small time love? Usually me, but Lili has won me over with several of her small town series. They seem like such wonderful places I'd love to visit with some girlfriends.
Lili is joined by Teddy Hamilton as narrators, and they are wonderful!
I'm so in love with Mick!

Both Faith and Mick have a past that has colored their views of relationships and they are both a bit jaded. I loved how open and honest they were with each other about their issues and how supportive they were of one another. They truly built a strong friendship that lead to love.
I alternated between the audio book and the kindle version of this story and the audio was so good. Narrated by Lili Valente and Teddy Hamilton, they both did a fantastic job of bringing the characters and story to life. Both are favorites of mine and they are magic together.
I absolutely love the characters Lili Valente has developed in the small town of Bliss River and Catching Fire is no exception. It’s a fun romantic comedy with a lot of heart and laughs with a side of steam.
Funny, Sweet, and Steamy RomCom
