Wonderfully funny and touching Rom-com! The author takes us back to cute little Bliss River again and its exactly the relaxing trip we need on a hot afternoon. I loved Faith's quirkiness and fun nature. Both she and Mick show amazing self awareness, they know and acknowledge their individual hang ups straight off and I found that really refreshing to see. And good thing Faith is on the fire department, because together they are combustible! Their is just so much to love about these two, you will totally fall in love with their honesty and find yourself smiling for no reason, they just leave you with that feeling! Can't wait for Maddie and Jamison, I'll be looking forward to my next Bliss River visit!

MICK! MICK! MICK! Ok, now that I got that out of my system. I've been waiting for Mick's story and I couldn't be happier with this book. Mick and Faith have relationship baggage, but their story is sweet and sexy. It's a feel good love story with a nice dose of angst but it's worth it!

Mick has just come out of a needy relationship and he doesn't want to be a hero anymore and Faith's mother had so many relationships that she's afraid of losing herself to a man. I love that Faith is a strong willed character who says what she's thinking and can take care of herself. I love that Mick is vulnerable and shares his feeling with Faith.

I love the way Lili sets up the next book. You care about all of these characters and while you're still smiling and happy with Mick and Faith you almost don't notice that you're cheering for Maddie and Jamison. I can't wait for the next one!

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, introverted 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.

Catching Fire was unlike any other book I've read. Both Faith and Mick have original backstories and this book works with so many tropes and makes them work seamlessly. It was so easy to fall in love with Mick, he was fun, happy, and of course obsessed with Faith. That made his love for her shine so bright in all of their scenes.

I loved that Faith had normal fears from her childhood and previous relationship. It made her relatable and her story have so much heart. When her and Mick hit the bumps in the road, it was Faith who had to decide if she should let her feelings or fear win!
