Worlds collide, sparks fly, and these new mates will have to use all the wits the gods gave them to survive the fires of daytime.
Just because Calvin Carter plays an omega on the long-running soap opera, The Blazing Inferno, doesn’t mean he is one in real life. Right?
Daytime drama spills from the sound stage into Calvin’s life when he is rescued by a hunky fireman who claims, in his deep, sexy voice, that the human is his mate. And that was just on Monday!
Having arrived in Valleywood the day before, Xander hasn’t even explored the magical movie making city, when a fire on the set of a studio lot leads him to the rescue of his fated mate.
When Calvin’s precocious costar is kidnapped for real, he and Xander are going to need some magical help to save the day.
Join Xander, the hunky fireman with the deep voice, and Calvin, the plucky soap star, as their lives turn into the sweeps week from hell. Will they crash and burn? Or light up the Valleywood skies in a blaze of glory and soap opera magic?
The Fires of Daytime is book ten of the brand new Valleywood series, where magic and the silver screen unite.
REVIEW:
Another trip back to the mystical Valleywood where anything is possible…and most likely probable! 😉
Calvin is having a rough day. He can’t keep his concentration on the set of his daytime soap opera that he’s the star of for some reason. Then he crashed on his couch in his minuscule dressing room. Next thing he knows he’s fighting for his life with the studio on fire. When he awakes in the hospital all hell breaks loose. His nurse is babbling some nonsense and the deliciously hunky fireman who saved his life is stating emphatically to anyone who will listen that Calvin is his fated mate! What the hell happened to his peaceful quiet world???
I loved that Xander knew immediately that Calvin was his. His inner animal lead him to find Calvin under the burning wreckage of the studio. Now it’s his job to not only protect and love his new-found mate but to convince Calvin they belong together. And I loved watching the convincing. The way the two of them learned to trust and love each other. They way that Xander immediately accepted that Calvin’s “made family” as part of them was touching and sweet. And Xander’s large team opening their arms to Calvin and Cassandra was wonderful. Suddenly his quiet world was filled with everything he didn’t know he was missing.
I could easily see this spinning off into a new series. I know it has happened with at least one other book in this multi-author series. I would love to know more about the fire fighters friends of Xander that he left back at his old station in Vale Valley.
This novella was a fun, quick read that I really enjoyed. I’m enjoying my visits with each of the different authors to Valleywood and it’s unique and mystical characters.
