Flame's father refuses to allow her to marry White Fire. And there is a mystery that must be solved around a murder and the real intentions of Flame's father, will Flame and White Fire find a way to happiness after all or be serparated forever...
I have been a fan of Cassie Edwards for many years. And I was so excited when I heard that she was working on getting some of her backlisted titles to be republished. So when I saw that White Fire was one of those, I knew I needed to grab it up. White Fire has been on my TBR for many years. Ever since I first discovered this author. This book is a single title, so you don't have to worry about getting in the middle of one of her huge never ending series. Now my only complaint about this one was the beginning of White Fire and Flame's romance, It is a bit of a rush with the whole instant love connection. And it is really the only downside to the story but didn't detract too much from my enjoyment of the story. It does have a old school feel to some of the "writing" at times but I didn't mind that aspect. Normally I liked seeing more build up in a relationship however once I reached about half way I realized that with the other factors involved I knew that it fit. The development of the plot that Cassie Edwards writes here makes up for my lack of enjoyment of the "instant love" trope. We have a ghost or "spirit" that is a best friend to White Fire that comes to him showing him truths of the true intentions of Flame's father. Intentions that are racist and downright evil in some ways. Now at this time frame, their relationship is solid. They have declared their love for each other and dreams of sharing a life together. But it soon becomes apparent the battle that they will need to find to reach their dreams to be together. White Fire is stimulating, dramatic and enchanting.
I honestly don't know how I feel about the new cover....I like it but I don't. I do like the fresh look of it though. With the light blues and the Canoe.
White Fire is a breathtaking adventure of sensuality, intrigue and danger..... a romance that simultaneously delights and makes the reader eager for more....WONDERFUL!!
