Scorched by the Hellhound

A Monster Mates Romance

By: Ivy Sparks

Narrated by: Azalea Blau

And here I thought firemen were supposed to put out fires.

It seemed like a smart move, parking my food truck in front of a bunch of hungry firefighters.

I had no idea these beastly hunks were from the Monster Unit.

Or that Lucian, the fire chief, was a hellhound who would set my soul ablaze with one sultry look.

Good thing he has a big fire hose…

Still, falling for a demon from the underworld is the last thing I need right now. My conniving ex is back in town, my business is struggling, and there’s a cooking contest that I can’t afford to lose.

But when Lucian and I keep ending up in situations too spicy for even the most seasoned of palates, what can I possibly do?

food truck

A special recipe and a food truck brings two people together as they face their past and plan for a future. Happy ending for most.

Sweet, fun, and passionate!

This is the first book in A Monster Mates Romance series. Lucian and Zoe's story is sweet, fun, fast-paced, and passionate. Zoe, a food truck chef, is smart, and determined. Lucian, a hellhound fire chief, is handsome, protective, and supportive. I liked the instant attraction, and the sizzling chemistry. The story is filled with twists and turns. The world building is original and interesting. Azalea Blau did a good job bringing this story to life. Looking forward to more in the series.

Scorched by the Hellhound

Lucian is the fire chief and a hellhound. He can take the heat from the hot peppers. He meets Zoe who has a gumbo food truck. She uses her grandmother's recipes. When she hears of a fire she takes her truck as close as she can get to the fire. There the firemen start coming over to try the gumbo thinking they can handle the heat. When they can't one decides maybe the boss could. Lucian is shocked with how he feels when he sees Zoe. Zoe is impressed with him too.
She's entered in a competition. When she goes on the day to set up she meets up with her ex, the one who stole her grandmother's recipe and won a scholarship to a French chef school. Lucien had told her he'd go to the competition. As she set up and got her gumbo going she goes to check for Lucien. Then she heads back to her spot. That was just enough time that her ex could do something to her recipe. She is mortified. She and Lucien are starting to become an item. But she is a bit scared because of her track record with her ex. They spend a night together and the next day as he leaves he catches the scent of an imp who has it in for him. Then her apartment house is on fire. Will Lucien be able to save her?
Azalea Blau is an amazing narrator.

Scorched by the Hellhound!

This is the first story in the "Monster Mates" series. It is a stand alone read/listen that is intriguing and interesting. The story is a really good story about Zoe and Lucien . She sets her food truck up in front of fireman and little did she know they were not human. Lucien is completely drawn to her. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. I love the characters! I look forward to reading more by this author.

Super cute

This was such an entertaining story! I had a blast listening, laughing out load until I noticed the people at the laundromat staring at me.. if only they knew… 😉

Absolutely in love

Love how the story has links to her other stories but stands on own without confusing anyone.

Good listen, Attwntion keeping

It was a good listen. I have to have a specific type of narrator when I listen to books and this one was high on my list. It was really well read, and the story was good. It had enough to keep my attention the whole time and it was just funny enough to keep me coming back. It had a good relationship in it, and the story building was pretty good.

Fun, lighthearted and charming

This book was so cute! It was fun, lighthearted and charming. I loved the story and although it was short there was plenty of backstory provided. The characters were sweet, but there was definitely a good amount of spice too!.
