I love trashy romance novels. I also love paranormal/fantasy novels as well. This one combined them both. Score!
From Amazon:London, 1881
Once the flames are ignited . . .
Miranda Ellis is a woman tormented. Plagued since birth by a strange and powerful gift, she has spent her entire life struggling to control her exceptional abilities. Yet one innocent but irreversible mistake has left her family's fortune decimated and forced her to wed London's most nefarious nobleman.
They will burn for eternity . . .
Lord Benjamin Archer is no ordinary man. Doomed to hide his disfigured face behind masks, Archer knows it's selfish to take Miranda as his bride. Yet he can't help being drawn to the flame-haired beauty whose touch sparks a passion he hasn't felt in a lifetime. When Archer is accused of a series of gruesome murders, he gives in to the beastly nature he has fought so hard to hide from the world. But the curse that haunts him cannot be denied. Now, to save his soul, Miranda will enter a world of dark magic and darker intrigue. For only she can see the man hiding behind the mask.
I felt like this book was a shell of a really, really awesome novel. Don't get me wrong, I really liked it. I plan on starting the second in the series ("Moonglow") in the next half hour, BUT just when I started to get really attached to the characters it was over. Maybe it's my Gabaldon complex ... you know, a really good novel has to hit the 1,000 page mark or it's not enough prose. Who knows. I did enjoy the read and in the end I give "Firelight" a B+.
