Kristen Callihan’s historical paranormal romance novel Firelight promises action and romance and delivers on both. The heroine Miranda Ellis possesses a strange power that if uncontrolled can devastate all that she loves. The hero, Lord Benjamin Archer is mysterious, brooding and hiding something that could separate the lovers forever.

Nothing about it captured me: not the characters or their relationship, not the world-building, not the mystery, and not the writing. I might read the second book in this series, but I don't know, there are so many other things I want to read, as well.
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. Some of my friends/people I follow here on GR gave this 5 stars, so I guess I'm disappointed that it didn't meet my high expectations. This author is hit-or-miss for me; I've DNF'd one book and loved another.

This was a unique read that was a bit outside my comfort zone for genre. The historical aspects of the book added to the world building for this unique supernatural world. I'm looking forward to the next one.

This is straight up historical romance with some weird magic and werewolves thrown in for fun. I can't make sense of the magic system, the explanation of the curse was total nonsense, and frankly I don't care about any of that. About two pages in, I stopped reading this as a fantasy book and put on my historical-romance glasses. And guess whats, this is a really sweet romance. Miranda and Archer are both lovely and their romance was adorable.

What is beauty or ugliness but a false front that prompts man to make assumptions rather than delving deeper.
