Andreas Reichen was thought to be dead, but he survived a terrible attack that slaughtered his Breed brethren. Now he is bent on revenge and his newfound pyro-talents are consuming him as he literally burns his enemies alive. He is after the mastermind behind the attack and realizes that his one time lover, Claire has become the bonded-mate of his enemy. When her husband is attacked, Claire has to flee her home, but before she can, Andreas arrives in a cloak of flames. She can’t believe her eyes and also cannot believe that her husband had anything to do with the attack on Andreas’s brethren. But things go from bad to worse and Claire is together with the man she never stopped loving. But the road to love is paved in flame that threatens to consume them both.

I have heard a lot about this series and this is the first book I have read. Fortunately, it isn’t necessary to read the books before to know what is going on, but believe me, when you’ve read this one you will want to rush out and get the other ones. Lara Adrian has written a wonderful story that will grab you and pull you into her world. Her characters leap off the pages. Andreas is just hunkalicious and you will be rooting for him and Claire. This story is full of adventure and action. The plot just carries you along and I was frantically turning the pages. It is easy to read and the plot is easy to follow. The writing is very tight and there are a few things going on at once. Guess who is going to get the backlist? Guess who is waiting impatiently for the next book? ME!!
