Unique, exciting, poignant, thrilling, sexy, funny, romantic… these are the words I’d use to describe Firelight, and yet, it’s so much more! I can’t really compare it to anything else I’ve read and it can’t be lumped into a single genre because in this first installment of the Darkest London series, author Kristen Callihan gives us the beauty of historical romance along with the dark, edginess of paranormal and the magic of fantasy. All of these elements combined have made this one of the best series’ premiers I’ve read in a very long time, maybe ever.

'She walks in beauty like the night; shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?'
Miranda Ellis is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, and she is no ordinary woman. Since birth she’s possessed a very powerful gift, one she’d managed to keep hidden, but it only took one slip, one moment’s loss of control and her life, and the lives of her family, were forever changed. She is lovely, and certainly far better than he deserves, but Archer can't help it, he's drawn to her like a moth to the flame and he has to make her his.

‘I might call him a thing divine, for nothing natural I ever saw so noble.’
Lord Benjamin Aldo Fitzwilliam Wallace Archer, Fifth Baron Archer of Umberslade is no ordinary man, but what makes him different is not a gift he was born with. In fact, it’s not a gift at all, rather the horrific consequence that comes when man thinks to play God. He's bitter, boorish, demanding, pushy... but Miranda can't seem to fight the attraction she feels for him. Despite the mask he wears to hide what he has become, and his secrets, despite everything about him, she wants him like she's wanted no one else.

Miranda and Archer are fabulous characters, both suffering from their own brand of torment, each one trying to save the other. Archer, so strong, so dangerously powerful and yet with a vulnerability born of foolish arrogance that makes me want to take him in my arms and love him forever. And Miranda... vulnerable not because of her gift but in spite of it. Apart they are lost, but together they are the perfect match, giving each other what they need to overcome the obstacles keeping them apart. And the sexual tension between Archer and Miri sizzled throughout the book and when they finally came together... well, it burned up the pages!

There were many wonderful quotes, but I'm going to share my favorite two. This first one is truly, truly romantic:

Wonderful, beautiful, blissful, gorgeous, lovely. Adjectives floated around in Archer’s head like cherry blossoms falling in late spring. He wanted to laugh, shout, and run amok singing at the top of his voice. Snatches of romantic poetry learned in his salad days came to mind. She walks in beauty like the night; shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? He smiled then, looking up at the ceiling above his bed. He certainly did not possess the talent to fit into words what he felt. Too bad Byron was dead. He’d have hunted him down and introduced him to Miri. The master poet would have found words to do her justice.

And then this one... so poignant, as Archer lays his heart bare:

He spread his arms wide in entreaty before letting them fall. “I lied. I lied when I said your beauty does not affect me. I look at you, and I’m breathless, dizzy from it. I want to kneel at your feet and worship you. While the baser part of me wants to fling up your skirts and stick my cock in you until we forget our names.” His nostrils flared as he glared at her, accusation and pain mingling within his eyes.

“But none of that matters,” he said, trembling before her, “because every day that I am with you, I am more convinced that God made you just for me. For in ninety years on this earth, no one has made me feel the way you do, as if every day is an adventure. You make me laugh. And I never laugh. I go around smiling like a witless fool. So yes, I kept it from you, because I am so desperately in love with you that the knowledge that you might love me too was irresistible. And I was afraid it would turn to dust should I take off that mask.”

The bottom line - This is truly a great story. I started it not knowing what to expect, but was WOW'd from the first page to the last. The secondary characters stand out, demanding their own stories be told, and that makes me very happy because I can't wait to return to the world of Darkest London!

It's gothic, dark, dangerous and romantic. It was completely enthralling and I absolutely could not put it down.

It's been three years since the mysterious Lord Archer first met Miranda. She captivated him with her fearlessness and fiery disposition. Now he has made arrangements with her father to marry her. Miranda doesn't realize that Archer is the same man she encountered that night in the alley all those years ago. He is simply an imposing man, who wears a mask covering his entire face.

No one knows what lies beneath Archer's mask. But Miranda falls for the man underneath the disguise. And he falls for her. The love story is only the beginning, though. Archer is working tirelessly to find a cure for his disfigurement. He's part of a mysterious organization of immortality questers. Someone is gruesomely killing off his associates and framing him for the crimes. Archer is full of secrets, which are slowly revealed over the course of the book.

The slow unraveling of Archer's story is amazing. It's second only to the phenomenal love story between him and Miranda. Kristen Callihan takes sexual tension to an entirely new level. I have never hungered for a single kiss between two characters as much as I did in this book. Just a kiss and I was breathless.

Slowly, she cupped his cheek. The air grew heavy, her chest tightening with each draw of breath. Archer closed his eyes, seeming to steel himself, and she knew he meant to pull away again. The idea of it slashed at her breast. Suddenly, everything became quite simple.

Her hand slid to his neck as she closed the gap she could no longer tolerate. Archer's eyes snapped open, and a tremble ripped through him. "Don't..." The protest died as her mouth fitted to his.

A shock of feeling coursed through her limbs at his touch. His breath caught sharply as though he too felt the shock. His body grew taut as a bow, quivering with barely held restraint. And she knew then that as much as he desired it, he feared touching her.

Every tiny piece of Archer that is unveiled was like a small victory. Every touch, every emotional connection between him and Miranda was a gift for my greedy eyes. And believe me, I felt greedy... for every crumb. In most books, I would frustrated or annoyed at how long it took for the couple to get together, but here, it's done so well, it's like magic.

I did have a little trouble keeping all the men straight in Archer's club, especially when we were dealing with fathers & sons and courtesy titles mingled with real names. But it wasn't too overwhelming. The villain, once revealed, was not a huge surprise... but the "why" part of it was something I didn't see coming.

Archer is a fantastic tortured hero. Miranda is the one happiness he has found in so many long, miserable years. And she is a worthy and loyal heroine. She has secrets and strengths of her own, like an ability to wield a sword and to control fire.

The book is really quite extraordinary. It's different... something shining, sparkling, and unique in a sea of familiar and predictable paranormal and historical romances out there. I loved it. 5 stars.

This book paints a vivid picture of a darker Gothic London, one plagued with cut throats and thieves, fathers who sell their daughters for a tidy sum, and cunning men willing to risk damnation of their very souls.

In this version of a 'beauty and the beast' theme, Lord Benjamin Archer hides his identity and disfigurement from the world behind a dark mask. Cloaked in the shadows of darkness, he spies the beautiful Miranda Ellis defending herself from would-be attackers and instantly finds himself enthralled. In time he arranges a marriage with Mira and whisks her off to his remote castle.

For years Archer has been obsessed with finding the cure for his 'illness'. He constantly fights his inner demons, and now struggles with a burning desire for his new bride. But when his friends start getting murdered and he is the most likely of suspects, Miranda's safety is all that matters.

I absolutely loved the darker, Gothic historical feel of this story. Archer is a tortured hero who feels he must hide from the world. Miranda slowly comes to learn of his 'illness' and other secrets, meanwhile hiding secrets of her own. We meet many other nefarious and interesting characters as well, including Mira's sisters who will have their own books in this series.

The paranormal part of the story is slowly revealed and therefor hard to explain, and in fact best left for the reader to discover. The world Archer and Miranda live in is the actual London 1880's, but we learn that not everyone is as one would believe. There are some people who have gifts, or curses depending on your point of view, that simply go beyond the imagination.

If I have any complaints it is that the romance was pushed to the later part of the book. However, there was a great deal of relationship building and tension between the H/h, so my complaint is small. Overall, Kristen Callihan has an amazing writing voice so I have no doubt this author will be a big hit with romance fans. I am excited to read the next book in this series, or whatever else she publishes.

Despite rough beginnings, Firelight by Kristen Callihan ends as a fun debut.

Callihan worried me when Firelight opened with one cliché stumbling over another cliché, smoking another cliché. The opening revealed some of Callihan's weaknesses, i.e. a tendency to wax purple when attempting flowery scenery, a bit of exaggerated insta-love, a beautiful-but-not heroine, and some self-conscious references to English culture by English characters.

Callihan worried me when Firelight opened with one cliché stumbling over another cliché, smoking another cliché. The opening revealed some of Callihan's weaknesses, i.e. a tendency to wax purple when attempting flowery scenery, a bit of exaggerated insta-love, a beautiful-but-not heroine, and some self-conscious references to English culture by English characters. When I saw the girl in trousers, I groaned.

However, Firelight flies the gates with an action scene, and only a chapter or two further, Callihan abandons those problems and hits her stride with tighter language and a tighter, no-nonsense narrative. She doesn't waste pages on slow-as-molasses internal hand-wringing, parlor tittering, or shopping trips. Her pacing's smooth, fast, and she zooms in with laser focus on the questions that most interest her reader: the mystery and the romance. Action romance writers, take note.

Firelight leaves awkward insta-love behind when protagonists Miranda and Ben marry and reveals the novel's treasure: the dynamic unfolding between Miranda and Ben as they learn each other and learn to trust and admire one another. Miranda and Ben themselves feel realistic and fleshed enough that one can predict their reactions, especially as we read the perspectives of both characters.

I knew the villain early on, but the real mystery, Ben's identity and history, kept me reading, as well as Miranda and Ben's adventures investigating the crime or each other. A few Misunderstandings notwithstanding, they weathered the requisite relationship obstacles heathily enough to convince me of a future together. They actually seem to like and know each other. Also, 500 pts. for a moving ending.

I don't want to spoil, but I'll say that Callihan builds a unique mythos suited to her period. I doubt the next book just a bit because she borrows a more prevalent, dare I say, tired myth. We'll see if she breathes new life into it. I like the hero. I recommend Firelight if you love Beauty & the Beast tales, mystery, or action. Don't let the historical tag stop you; it's accessible to everyone. Also, the alley scene is the new Chapter 32. I'm between three and four stars.(less)

This is definitely a unique and entertaining read. The story centers around Miranda--a pyrokinetic and Archer--a mysteriously disfigured aristocrat who goes nowhere without a carved black full face-mask.

True to the Beauty and the Beast tale, Miranda, an uncommonly beautiful woman, is forced to marry Archer in order to pay for her father's debt to him. As a GR friend pointed out, though, this story really is more true to the Cupid and Psyche tale of mythology. At one point, Miranda even dons a b...more

I'm a fan of Paranormal Romance and an occasional dabbler in the Historical Romance genre, and this book is such a perfect blending of the two, coupled with exceptional storytelling, great characters and a captivating romance. I LOVED it!

I would urge anyone about to read this not to read any spoilery reviews, nor to read the prequel, Ember, first, because one of the biggest thrills for me with this book was the guessing game I had to play with regards to Archer's character and why he has to wear that damned mask! I knew very little of the plot going in. Basically just that it was a Beauty and the Beast type story with paranormal/supernatural stuff thrown in. I think that's the best way to approach it because you really are teased and tantalised with clues and it just wouldn't have been the same had I known what was under there before I was supposed to. Trying to work it out from the strange behaviour and occasional random comment from other characters was killing me! It was so frustrating that other people clearly knew and yet he wouldn't tell his wife, Miranda. And until she finds out, we are in the dark too. It made the book unputdownable.

Miranda, our leading lady also has a secret, but in her case we as a reader know the secret way before anyone else, so that was a lot less painful. It helped, I think, make it more believable that Miranda would fall in love with a man she's never laid eyes on as well. Because she of all people knows exactly what it means to have something you fear showing others in case they reject you for it. Their back stories really complemented each other.

Which brings me to the other thing that I loved- the romance! I loved both characters in equal measure, really. I might have gotten a bit cross with Archer occasionally. But even he admits that he can be an unpardonable ass at times. Some of his behaviour was borderline for me, like the alley scene for example. I wish he hadn't behaved that way. But he redeemed himself. And looking back now, knowing what I know (finally!), I can understand his fears and frustrations and forgive him. Kinda.

I also enjoyed much of the dialogue between the pair. It was possibly a touch sugary sweet towards the end, but most of it was lovely and had I not been tearing through the pages, unwilling to slow down, I could have found many great quotables to share with you.

To sum up, this wasn't a perfect novel, there were a couple of issues I could nitpick on if I was being a stickler, but I decided to go for 5 stars just because it was so original and the romance so captivating that it definitely belongs in the "I loved it" category" more than the "I really liked it" one. I can't wait to read the next one, Moonglow, when it comes out in August 2012.

The relationship between the dread Lord Archer who hides his visage behind a Carnival mask, and Miranda Ellis, who has her own dark secrets, unfolds against a back plot of a secret society that holds the key to the reason that Archer wears the mask and a killer who is savagely murdering its members. I am not going to say too much about the story to avoid spoiling the journey, but I was intrigued by the darkness tinged with vulnerability that Archer hides behind his mask. I found myself enthralled by the slowly building relationship that developed between him and Miranda,who is a wonderful smart capable character, as they slowly begin to reveal themselves to the other. I loved the way that Archer allows Miranda to see more and more of him as their relationship develops, and was tantalized by each glimpse until I was truly dying to know what was behind the mask. I have to admit though that as the story went on I began to worry, because with such a tremendous build-up to the big reveal, how could it be anything but anti-climatic? It wasn't.

Firelight came highly recommended, and lived up to all of the rave reviews it'b been garnering. And with the great relationship and sensual tension building wrapped up in a Victorian era Gothic mystery - sans the TSTL heroine - topped off with a dollop of the paranormal, I'll be recommending this wonderful debut effort to all of my friends too.

(Kallihan's Darkest London continues with Moonglow in August 2012 with a new leading pair (and in Winterblaze in 2013). Some more bits of Archer's and Miranda's individual back stories are available now in Ember - Do not read Ember first, it is sort of like deleted scenes for the Archer and Miranda's back stories so you won't get a good feel for Callihan's writing but more importantly there are enough hints in the prequel to spoil the mystery surrounding Archer.(less)

In one word, delectable. I am in love with this book, it is the best PNR I’ve read in a very long time. No formula romance here, nuh uh!

Sexy, romântico, paranormal, meio gótico e único, este livro é tudo e mais alguma coisa.
Miranda Ellis não é uma mulher comum, desde que nasceu que possui um dom extremamente poderoso, que até tinha conseguido manter escondido, até ao dia que cometeu uma falha, um momento que se tornou o mais marcante da sua vida, o dia em que perde a família toda.
Lord Benjamin Aldo Fitzwilliam Wallace Archer, quinto Barão Archer de Umberslade também não é nenhum homem comum, infelizmente não é nenhum dom que o torna diferente mas sim o facto de ele ser rude, amargo e completamente agressivo, ah! e fazer parte de uma organização que procura a imortalidade e que teve consequências terríveis, a desfiguração da cara. Mas Miranda não consegue “lutar” contra o que sente por ele, apesar de saber que por baixo da sua máscara está escondido um homem cheio de segredos.
Com personagens incríveis, que são marcadas pela dor e que de alguma maneira tentam-se salvar um ao outro. Miranda é tão vulnerável e tão perfeita por causa do dom, mas com um certo medo deste. Já Archer, com o seu lado forte, perigoso e poderosos também tem um lado vulnerável, claro, que apesar de todo o mal que faz só nos apetece ama-lo também.
O livro tem tudo, dai a ser excelente. Acção, romance e uma tensão sexual entre a Mirianda e o Archer estão perfeitamente escritas que deixam o livro completamente on fire!!
Se eu conseguisse transcrevia o livro todo mas não dá!(dar dá, mas é uma trabalheira)
“Mas não importa” Disse ele, a tremer diante dela “ porque cada dia que estou contigo, estou mais convencido que Deus apenas te fez para mim. Porque em 90 anos nesta terra, ninguém fez-me sentir o que tu me fazes sentir, como se tudo fosse uma aventura. Tu fazes-me rir. E eu nunca sorrio. Eu ando por ai a sorrir como se eu fosse um idiota estúpido.”
É um livro tão perfeito e tão bem escrito, não estava a espera de o adorar tanto como adorei e verdade seja dita a sinopse não prepara para nada do que se pode encontrar ao desfolhar o livro.
Mais uma vez a história é linda, muito apaixonante em que Kristen leva o romance e a tensão sexual a um nível muito alto em que um beijo apenas é capaz de nos deixar sem respirar por uns minutinhos.(less)

Firelight mixes themes from many stories and myths -- Beauty and the Beast, Cupid and Psyche, “Firestarter” -- into a flawed but vivid story of love and redemption.

Lord Benjamin Archer is cursed, a man with unnatural strength who must hide his true face behind a mask at all times. Danger stalks him, yet he can’t resist his desire for Miranda Ellis. Miranda has no real choice when Archer ask to marry her, but she’s not without her own strange defenses. And she’s intrigued by him: “Lord Archer, with his black countenance and rich voice, offered a sense of adventure, a dare. She could do nothing short of picking up that gauntlet, or regret it for the rest of her days. Perhaps, then, she could help them both. The idea of helping rather than destroying filled her with a certain lightness of heart.”

As Miranda and Archer slowly fall in love, she realizes that his so-called deformity is much more than a physical condition, and she sets out to discover his secrets. Unfortunately, every secret she discovers makes his eventual doom more apparent.

After a beginning that seemed nothing but one cliche after another, Firelight tightens up and becomes more compelling, though still somewhat on the purple prose side. It was hard for me to really feel the characters, because they seemed more like archetypes than real people, but the powerful heroine was a pleasure to encounter in romance, and I loved how Miranda’s power is used (view spoiler). The ending is a dynamic emotional climax.

Other than that, the best part of the book was the dark, gothic atmosphere it created, which was why it was especially disappointing to me whenever that atmosphere was disrupted by an anachronism or poor word choice. The delectable smelling miasma was the worst (miasma is also used, appropriately, three more times) but there were also several modernism that caused me to stop reading and look words up, which didn’t help me stay wrapped up in the story. I’m hoping these are debut book flaws which will improve, since the hero of Callihan’s next book is intriguingly introduced in Firelight.

Original review: Swept Away By Romance

Firelight is the biggest discovery I have made so far. I didn’t expect anything from this book. To be honest, I’m not a fan of dark, gloomy historicals. A dark historical romance with paranormal elements is a total no-go for me. I only considered this because of a raving review I’ve read on goodreads and it was the best decision I could have made.

Firelight is the biggest discovery I have made so far. I didn’t expect anything from this book. To be honest, I’m not a fan of dark, gloomy historicals. A dark historical romance with paranormal elements is a total no-go for me. I only considered this because of a raving review I’ve read on goodreads and it was the best decision I could have made. Firelight enthralled me; it gripped me tight and wouldn’t let me go. The mystery and magic and sensuality of this book are so fascinating and kept me reading long into the night.

We meet the lead characters, Miranda and Archer, for the first time in 1878. Directly, we know that Miranda is not an average girl just waiting for the right suitor to knock on her door. She is a strong-willed, talented and beautiful young woman who can very well take care of herself. Three years later, Miranda is forced to marry a man she has never met before, or so she thinks. It turns out that Archer never managed to get Miranda out of his head and when he sees a way to make her his, he doesn’t hesitate. The mystery around Archer is the central theme of the novel and it is definitely always in the center. Lord Benjamin Archer wears a full-face mask and until later in the book, Miranda doesn’t even know what he looks like. But Miranda harbors some secrets herself. The paranormal world is always there but it is kept in the background.

When I read about Archer’s mask, I was sure that I could tell what was going to happen down to every single detail. Nothing turns out like I first thought and I loved how this book surprised me at every corner. Miri and Archer’s relationship must not be forgotten of course. Archer is a very strong man but his one vulnerability is Miri. For three years, she has had a place in his heart and now she is finally his wife. Still, he fears judgment and rejection from her, when she sees him without the mask for the first time. I loved how Miri manages to make Archer feel beautiful and loved again and how she draws him out of his self-inflicted reclusion.

This book has something for everyone, a little of the paranormal, a lot of romance and a bit of suspense. It is original, funny, exciting, mysterious and romantic. I cannot wait for the second book in the series, Moonglow. Miranda’s sister is the heroine and she is already hilarious in Firelight. I’m excited to find out more about her! Firelight comes with high recommendations from me. I really hope that more people will give this a try even if the blurb doesn’t attract them outright. It is more than worth it!!

This is the story of Miranda Ellis. She is the young woman who has a special "gift" that cost her family their entire fortune. She is tough and proud. She ends up helping her father through less than savory means.

Well, I just finished the book and I'm having trouble deciding on a rating. After careful consideration I think it deserves 3.5 stars. I can't give it more than that, although on paper this book has some qualities that should deserve more stars. Let me try to explain.

Firelight is very well written. The story is interesting and the heroine is kick ass. However, I didn't find it engaging enough. I never really felt the romance as deeply as I should. Archer was brooding and mysterious, but I didn't fall for him as much as I should have. Miranda on the other hand is a fantastic character. She is everything a heroine should be: courageous, intelligent, powerful and determined. On paper she is everything I adore on a female character. The total opposite of helpless. I really really liked her, but I should have adored her. For some reason, I didn't and I have no idea why.

The novel isn't cliché at all, which I really appreciated. Especially since it has a little Beauty and the Beast feel to it, which could have made it very cliché. But it didn't. I respect how the author developed the story and the characters especially. I was delightedly surprised when we find out, for example, that Miranda isn't a virgin. Given that the book is set in the 19th century, it was a bold choice and I love the author for it. Without spoiling anything I also adored how the conflict in the end was resolved. I like when a heroine can take care of herself and of others as well. I hate when a woman needs to be rescued by a men. This doesn't happen here, quite the contrary, I'm happy to report.

The thing is this novel is almost perfect in paper, but for some reason it didn't resonate as deeply as it should with me. I has a very superficial feeling throughout the book. The romance didn't move me enough. The mystery was easy to solve for me. I guessed the guilty party right off the bat, although that didn't bother me much. As I was reading it I had a feeling that I should have been more involved in the story and I wasn't. I was never really able to put my finger on why, so I'm having a hard time writing this review. Maybe I was expecting too much after reading all the glowing reviews, or maybe I just wasn't in the right mood for this book. I think it's a fine novel and I don't discourage anyone from reading it. My only truly major issue with it, it's that the supernatural side of it is not really explored in depth. Some things are glossed over, things that should have been explained a little better. Other than that, I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to read an original supernatural historical romance with a kick ass heroine. (less)

Being a big fan of contemporary fantasy, I didn't think this Victorian Paranormal would interest me much, but with its rich & vivid descriptions, romantic build, and intriguing plot, I fell for it hook line and sinker. The author truly has a talent for building sexual tension to a boiling point. The relationship between the main couple is white hot, and are definitely now on my list of favorite literary couples.

The plot itself isn't exactly original per se, but I have to say that the delivery and execution were so spot on, that I was able to enjoy it and just take it for what it is, a pure and unadulterated guilty pleasure. Those who don't want to commit to a full series, will be happy to know that this book can be read as a standalone. The ending nicely wraps-up and concludes the main couple's storyline, however a subsequent book is scheduled and will continue one of the supporting character's story.

My only issue with this book were with some of the poorly transitioned scenes. It would have helped to have some space between scenes or a marker denoting the change. However, I must state that since I received an ARC, this issue might be moot in the purchased copy.
*****
Written in third person POV and set in Victorian London, Firelight is a Gothic retelling of Beauty & the Beast. 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.

In summary, I whole heatedly recommend this book to anyone looking for a well written/constructed and thoroughly satisfying Paranormal Romance or adult Fairy Tale.

Warning: Violence & Strong Sexual Content.

This book releases on Feb 1st, 2012. I received a ARC via NetGalley.

This was something totally different for me. A mixture of myth and fantasy with romance and a historical setting, the story was a unique and fresh twist on the quintessential beauty and the beast theme. The plot was fascinating, the action riveting, and the chemistry between Miranda and Archer literally sizzled on the page. I loved every minute of it!

Overall I really did enjoy the characters and the story in Firelight.

I found that it was somewhat like X-Men meets Beauty and the Beast, and they then read Twilight, Soulless, and maybe the Glass Books of the Dream Eaters together just before watching The Phantom of the Opera at the theatre, or on DVD, whathaveyou. I mean that in the best possible way too. It was really good, I raced through it, and was super curious and anxious the whole time as to what the big secret was and how it was all go...more

4.5 stars. Almost 5 solid stars for this amazing book! It's steam punk / paranormal romance, set in 1881, in London. Some parts seemed like urban fantasy, especially where Miranda is all tough, taking on all comers, not relying on her superhero hubby. SHE saves the day, while mentally castigating HIM for not telling her what was going on! ;-)

Dark, dangerous, romantic and captivating! My favorite new read for 2012!

Miranda Ellis hides a secret ability that she has no control over and that has cost her family everything. She knows she will never have a "normal" life, so when the mysterious and dark Lord Benjamin Archer asks for her hand in marriage, Miranda is forced into marriage with the brooding Lord to save the only family she has, her father.

While her mind tells her to fear her new husband, her heart is saying something different. Miranda finds herself charmed by the man who is considered a beast by everyone else, with him she feels at home and hopes to tame Archer and his sometimes brutish ways. Lord Archer has a secret of his own, one he hides behind the mask he wears, one that constantly haunts him. Cursed by his past, he now lives in the shadows, looking for a cure and is determined to find one at any cost. Feared by most women in London society, Archer is anything but the ladies' man, but just one look from Miranda ignites a passion unlike any he's ever known. As fate would have it, Archer soon falls for the beautiful woman under his roof which can prove a deadly mistake, but to keep her he is willing to risk his very soul.

This story will bewitch you and draw you in until the very last word! In Firelight we meet two complex characters, Miranda and Archer, two tortured souls who find acceptance and love in each other. Their romance has a real "Phantom of the Opera" feel to it that is dark, gothic and incredibly romantic. Miranda is a brave woman and not your average naive Victorian heroine. She hasn't had the greatest upbringing, but still has plenty of heart and compassion for others, her character really tugged at my heart strings.

As much as I love our heroine Miranda, the true star of this book is Lord Benjamin Archer. From the moment he speaks I was glued to the pages and the mystery surrounding him is enough to keep you guessing and reading. The romance between Archer and Miranda is pure and beautiful, I adore these two together and love that their relationship developed throughout the book, I couldn't get enough of their flirting and sexual tension building slowly into an explosive passion! Ms. Callihan's intricate and alluring writing takes you into the dark side of Victorian London, where secret societies and science meet in a sexy, yet thrilling romance! Her depiction of Lord Benjamin Archer was so moving I never once saw him as a monster but as a beautiful, tortured creature yearning for love, he's beyond swoon-worthy.

Firelight is everything I want in a love story. With outstanding world building, character development and a suspenseful plot, it truly is a magnificent debut. Great books stay with you far beyond the last page, and that's exactly what Firelight accomplished. Prepare to be blown away by Miranda and Archer!

As soon as I saw the cover I loved it, so I was very curious to learn a little more about this novel. I confess I’m very difficult with Paranormal Romance story for a while, therefore I was a little afraid to get into the story. But finally, it was worth it, and I’m glad for the opportunity to read this book because I really enjoyed it.

After reading the first chapter, I thought I got into one of this Paranormal Romance book where the heroes fall in love at the first sight and where the plot is left in a second plan. But what a pleasant surprise, I was wrong. Indeed, I was immediately intrigued by Lord Archer, this man everyone fears about, and who always hides his face behind a mask. We try to learn his secrets all along the story with Miranda, his young fiancé.

I’ve always been attracted by books which take place during this period. It’s, I think, often very interesting to discover a new period and mainly to see how the characters live in it. I immediately like Miranda, who is very different from other women, and who imposes her choices and will, like no one else. Strong, determined, beautiful but also tough, Miranda is a character we can only enjoy in this world where men can do everything. And when her new husband decides to hide himself from her too, she doesn’t need more to start to investigate about him. But when, in addition, Archer is charged with murders, she is decided to find the culprit to clear him despite his husband isn’t as enthusiastic as her about her implication in this entire story.

So we get into an investigation mixing conspiracy, love, betrayal and which will lead us all along the book. I confess I didn’t know who the culprit about these murders was, and I was very surprise when we learn his identity. But it’s true that finally it’s very logical too.

Kristen Callihan has succeeded her challenge to create a complex story featuring this couple like no one else, adding too some Egyptian notions, things I didn’t expect at all, and which was a pleasant surprise.

To conclude this first novel was a nice read, and I will read the sequel with curiosity.(less)

The beginning reminded me of "A Rose in winter", it's very similar, both heroes wear masks and are rumored to be vicious murderers. In both novels they pretty much force the heroine to marry them, there was actually an identical scene where they eat at his house after the wedding, actually she eats and he doesn't because of his mask, it was like, identical. And in both novels there are murders which are linked to the masked character and he's accused of commiting them. But there it stops. Archer is really disfigured (although it's not known what is it that he hides behind the mask untill almost to the end), and he has a craving for murder which he constantly fights. He's powerful, fast, and doesn't age like ordinary humans. Miranda has a gift (or a curse lol), she can control and make fire with her mind.

I liked them both as a couple, Archer has been in love with her for three years before their marriage, and even though he knows he shouldn't involve her in his dangerous world, he cannot resist having her in his life. The attraction was excellent, even though most of the time Archer was fighting it, sometimes even Miranda, fearing she would hurt him with her gift.

The best thing about this was the mystery, and what it turned out to be. I LOVED the fact that it was something new, I didn't expext it, sometimes I thought he was a vampire, then a werewolf, then I really didn't know what he was supposed to be lol, and I'm so glad the author created something different and didn't recycle some classic pnr creature. The only thing that was missing here was the explanation of Miranda's gift. It just said she was born with it and that was that. I just wish the author made something up, like she was a druid decendant or something XD (there are druids mentioned in this book so it would make sense XD)

Can't wait for the next book, the hero was in this one, LOVED him <3(less)
