Title: Playing with Fire Series: Hometown Heat #3 Author: Lili Valente Release Date: August 27, 2021 REVIEW: 4 Stars This is the third book in the series and it was a good one. I really liked Maddie and Jamison. I wasn't so sure of him at first with some of things I've gotten to know about him in the previous books, but I shouldn't have worried. That man has matured and grown since moving back to Bliss River. I must say I'm a big fan of the man he has become. He's so worthy of a HEA and he has his sights on Maddie. They are really good friends and that's one of my favorite tropes friends to lovers. Maddie is the last Whitehouse sibling to fall. Maddie is getting over the betrayal from her previous relationship so Jamison has to read carefully. Things get a little complicated keeping their relationship a secret. Jamison has some swoon worthy moves and can bring the romance. Poor Maddie doesn't stand a chance. To me she is one lucky lady. This was delightful steamy small town read. It had me hooked right from the beginning. I loved seeing the previous couples in their HEAs. Also seeing some my other Bliss River favorites adding to their family. Made me squeal in excitement along with the characters. BLURB: Thou shalt not bang your best friend. That commandment would be a lot easier if Maddie wasn’t the sexiest siren ever to wade into a tide pool. Or if I was good at resisting temptation. I’m the troublemaker, the firefighter who enjoys getting a little too close to the flames. And the trouble is double, since Maddie’s sister is about to marry my brother. That makes a tryst even riskier. But it’s cool—we’ll keep our bang-a-palooza a secret from our siblings and keep things casual, so no one gets hurt. The problem? Nothing about this thing with Maddie feels casual. From the electricity between us to the way my heart flips when she smiles—everything I feel for her is intense. But can we handle the heat when my past—and hers—suddenly come back to haunt us… *Playing with Fire was previously published as The Bad Boy Firefighter's Secret Fling by Jessie Evans.
