For two hundred years, Lucan served honorably but one fateful night, he did he unforgivable, the one thing he can never be saved from. Lucan vowed servitude to the leader of the Darkland Beasts, and the underworld in the process, and he did it to save a woman, a firestarter who the demon leader intended to use to destroy the Knights.

She isn't about to be the reason Lucan is destined for eternal hell. For the first time in her life, a new medical treatment has given her control over her ability to start fires, and she intends to put it to use. She's going after Lucan and saving him no matter what the danger, or cost, to herself.
Passion and destiny will bring Lucan and Kresley together but will Kresley prove to be Lucan's ultimate salvation or the the weapon that destroys the protectors of humanity, The Knights of White.
ABOUT The Knights of White.....
Sentenced to an eternity on earth for killing his brother Abel, Cain became angry and sought the favor of the Underworld. By doing so, it is said that he was granted magical powers and given leave from the physical plane. But his gifts came with a price. Cain must oversee the Darkland Beasts, evil beings who walk the earth. Hungry for power, he builds his army of Beasts, stealing male souls while simply using and discarding the females.
Over time, the scale of good and evil began to tilt. The Archangel Raphael, the healer of the earth, was given the duty of balancing the scale again. To do this, he assigned Salvador, his most trusted companion, the duty of saving those souls worthy of serving good against evil. These unique individuals, victims of the Darkland Beasts, are given back their souls and enlisted into an elite army...The Knights of White.
But in each of these Knights still lurks a Beast of darkness that only they can completely dispel. Each Knight must face their Beast and defeat it. For the simple laws of the universe present a balance of good and evil, and these Knights have tasted the temptations of evil. They must prove they are worthy of the soul returned to them and capable of facing the Underworld without defeat. These Knights must prove themselves worthy of a mate born of all that is pure and good. If they do so, then, and only then, will the Knight become all that he can be -– a magical warrior against evil, gifted with a love that will guide him through darkness to light.

This series rivals the Midnight Breed series, love it!
This is my fourth book in this series and I plan to read them all because they are just that good. This author and series is very reminiscent of Lara Adrian’s Midnight Breed series if you are a fan.
This is a great series I read them all and loved them. Each couple was unique in their own way which is difficult to do when the origin story is similar. I only wish she had finished the series!
Love this story. Lucan had to fight his own self to be a part of the knights again. Kresley had to see that she has always had a home and her fire is a gift not a Curse.
I loved this book by Lisa Renee Jones!! The Firestarting woman makes me love, & read on the edge of my seat!! Complete page turner for me!! A man that will protect a woman no matter what the cost!! A woman that wants & will repay the man by protecting him No matter the cost!! Will it all be for nothing?? Or will they succeed??? You need to read to find out!!![[ASIN:B008SYB06I Beast of Fire -- A Demon hunting sexy romance (Knights of White)]]Beast of FireLisa Renee Jones
La storia sarebbe anche carina, così come interessanti i personaggi. Peccato per le ultime pagine, che ho trovato scritte davvero malissimo. L'autrice non si è neanche presa il tempo necessario per descrivere la lotta di Lucan nel combattere la bestia, si è limitata a mezzo rigo di "raccontino" di quello che poteva, a mio avviso, essere il momento più importante del romanzo. E l'ultima scena tra Cullen e Tara, poi, è stata un susseguirsi di battute così rapide che ho dovuto rileggerla più volte per afferrarne il senso (che comunque non ho colto).

I jolly well enjoyed this book. Would of been better if I'd realised sooner it was book 5 of a series, because at the beginning I did struggle a bit, but that was my own fault and not the book.
There were a few typos/grammar issues. Not sure if I had a 'dodgy' download, because there were a couple of pages that had part words and whole words missing.
I really enjoyed this book. Lisa Renee Jones is a great writer. The only problem that I had with this book was the many spelling errors and typo's. that is one of my pet peeves. The story was a good one and the characters were enjoyable.
