Romance Paranormal
If there is an author who I know will deliver it would be
Marjorie M. Liu. I know that every time I sit down and open
one of her books I am going to be taken on a wonderful ride.
If you love your stories filled with romance, adventure and
magic this author and series is a must read. Ever since I
picked up the first book in this series I have been hooked.
In this latest book we get to read Eddie's tale. Eddie has been sent by the Dirk and Steele agency to find
and protect Lyssa who is in danger from an evil witch. I
have enjoyed Eddie since the first time I met him earlier in
this series. It was nice to see him able to connect and
share with Lyssa. She is a dragon shifter who like Eddie has
come from a traumatic life and is still learning to control
her powers. The romance that builds between the two is a
beautiful read. Their past pain enables Lyssa and Eddie to
connect and learn to trust one another. Each one does all
that they can to protect the other and only through love can
they find a way through it all and fight the evil that
threatens them both. While WITHIN THE FLAMES is number eleven in the Dirk and
Steele series it is still an intense and enjoyable read. As
with every story in this series Eddie and Lyssa's story was
fresh and new. Not only do we get a love story but we also
get the action and adventure that these books are known for.
Cruor Venator is the villain in this book and he certainly
is one that this reader feels is truly evil. The pain and
torture that he and his minions deliver is pure evil. I enjoyed watching Lyssa and Eddie find not only themselves
but each other as well as finding a way to fight and win
against the evil that threatens them all. This book was a
wonderful read that kept me on the edge of my seat and
turning the pages to see just what would happen next between
Eddie and Lyssa. Making WITHIN THE FLAMES a book that should
not be missed.
SUMMARY
Joining the Dirk & Steele Agency turned Eddie's life around.
A pyrokinetic and former car thief, he cannot refuse an
assignment to cross the continent in order to rescue an
extraordinary woman in peril. . . even though he fears
losing control of the destructive power of flame at his
fingertips. The last of her shape-shifting kind, Lyssa hides in the
abandoned tunnels beneath Manhattan, seeking refuge from
those who murdered her family a decade ago and would now
destroy her as well. Like Eddie, fire is her weapon, her
destiny. . . and her curse. Yet she wants nothing to do with
this mesmerizing stranger who seeks her trust whle enflaming
her passion. For beneath Lyssa's extraordinary beauty are
dangerous secrets. . . and even darker, nearly irresistible
urges. But she has won the heart of a fearless protector. .
. and all the demons in the world will not make him back down.
