Catching Fire

A Small Town Firefighter Romance (Hometown Heat, Book 2)

By: Lili Valente

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, Lili Valente

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.

CATCHING FIRE 🔥

Lili Valente writes the absolute best stories!! They have all the feels and so much more 💓

Another great small town romance

Loved Mick and Faith. What a great listen!

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.

This story was fire!

Mick and Faith are the best! Teddy and Lili are my favorite couple of narrators...Teddy's sultry voice and Lili's sweet voice are what I look forward to most, besides the story...lol
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!

Small-town slow burn

Mick and Faith are a slow burn that is worth the wait! I knew from All Fired Up that there was a connection there and I would love their story.

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!

All the Feels

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.
