Publisher Description
Thou shalt not bang your best friend. It’s a solid rule.
Too bad I’ve never been great at following the rules. I’m the troublemaker, the firefighter who likes getting too close to the flames.
But Maddie’s more than my best friend. Her sister is also about to marry my brother, which means sneaking around with her is a spectacularly bad idea.
So, naturally, we start banging like rabbits. Horny, irresponsible rabbits.
The plan is simple: we’ll keep this secret and casual, with no feelings and no fallout.
But nothing about Maddie feels casual. Not the way she kisses me. Not the way she makes me laugh. Not the way I forget every reason this is supposed to be temporary the second she slips her hand into mine.
I thought we were just playing with fire.
Turns out, this blaze is already out of control.
PLAYING WITH FIRE is a wildly steamy, funny, heartfelt best-friends-to-lovers firefighter romance featuring secret hookups, small-town family chaos, filthy banter, and enough heat to burn down the firehouse.

Unexpected Attraction
Great continuation from Lili Valente’s Catching Fire where we first saw the possibility of Jamison and Maddie. Just loved Maddie and Jamison's love story. Couldn't put it down, wanting more and more. It was hot and sexy from the get go. Loved that the two characters had been friends since childhood and never thought of each other as more until their almost kiss in the bakery (introduced in the Catching Fire book) many years later. Thank god for that singles retreat.......where it all began. A must read!!! Great job as always Lili Valente!
Friends to Lovers and oh so hot!
I have loved both Jamison and Maddie since the first book in this series. He seemed so real. He has flaws and he makes mistakes. But, he learns from them. They help him become a better man. Her marriage ended horribly and she is very wary of ever loving again. She has feelings for Jamison but is trying to ignore them.
Jamison and Maddie have been friends since they were children. One night is all it takes for them to realize that they both want so much more!
This friends to lovers story is hot from the get go. I read it in one sitting and wished for more when I got to the end!
Great Romance!
Oh, I loved this. Where to start....this was hinted at in the last book, which made me want to read this story ASAP! (But it can 100% be read as a standalone.) This is almost a second-chance romance, kind of a best friends to enemies to lovers. Just really big on the feels.
It's always great heading back to Bliss River. It's more HEAs for all the past characters. Very fulfilling.
As usual, the writing is excellent. Great world-building and character development. Funny parts, feeling parts, conflict and awesome resolution.
Teddy Hamilton & Lili Valente are two of my favorite narrators. Teddy reminds me of Christian Slater. The narration was smooth and delightful.
