REVIEW - Playing with Fire (Hometown Heat #3) by Lili Valente


 The Book

Release Date: 27 August 2021

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. It has been rewritten in first person and extensively revised for this new edition*

My Review  5 STARS

**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

I have been waiting to read this book since we met Jamison in the very first book of the series.

Maddie is covering her hurt over the betrayal of her husband, a husband who stayed with her until he was strong enough to tell her that he was gay and left her for a man he had fallen in love with.

When they nearly kiss in the bakery that she shares, things for both Maddie and Jamison as they then cannot get each other out from their lustful thoughts.  When finding out that they are at the same singles holiday at the beach, things take a major turn then Maddie drinks Whiskey, a drink that gets her wild side out and she goes skinny dipping in front of Jamison.

One night together and they both know that nothing will be the same again between them.  Not only have they opened pandora's box, but they both know that one night will NEVER be enough.

Both fall hard and fast, but as with most stories, something happens to shake their happiness and they have to work through their feelings and decide if their love and happiness is worth fighting for.

I really enjoyed this book and managed to read it in just one sitting.
