Winterblaze by Kristen Callihan

5.0

Winterblaze is unique among a romance point of view, as it focuses on a couple who has already married. Their story is set in motion at the end of [b:Moonglow|13223523|Moonglow (Darkest London, #2)|Kristen Callihan|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1324219362s/13223523.jpg|18412929], when Winston Lane nearly dies at the hands of a werewolf. He quickly discovers not only that the supernatural world exists, but that his wife, Poppy, has been hiding her knowledge of the supernatural from him. Feeling down about the physical scars the attack left on him and betrayed by his wife, Winston leaves her. Several months later, Winterblaze begins. Poppy receives a threat from a demon that she fears will cost Winston his life. She goes to Winston to protect him, but neither of them are quite ready to see each other again and their journey is not without mishaps.

I thought their rediscovery of each other after such a tragic point in their lives was brilliantly written. The story is interspersed with anecdotes about their early years and their early love really makes you root for them in the present day story.

One of my favorite things about Callihan's novels is the world of the Darkest London. I loved that we got to move deeper into the world with this story and am looking forward to more.
