Pure Wildfire #2

by Lynne Connolly

Shape-shifters rock!

Ryan Hawthorne is the charismatic vocalist for the band Pure Wildfire, with the world at his feet. He's also a shape-shifting firebird more than a hundred years old, torn apart by the death of his lover. Maria died of a drugs overdose but Ryan always suspected foul play. Now he's back in New York to find out.

Gina always blamed Ryan for her stepsister Maria's death, but when she meets the devastatingly sexy singer she finds Ryan is the embodiment of all her wet dreams, and she's had plenty.

They set each other's worlds ablaze but they have to find Maria's killers before they get to Gina. Or Ryan will lose her too.

About the author

I was born in Leicester, England, and lived in our cobbler’s shop with my parents and sister. It was an old house and most definitely haunted, but I didn’t find out until I left that my great uncle had hung himself in the living room! But I think our ghost might have been older than that. It was built on the site of the old Roman cemetery, and the land had been constantly inhabited, being in the centre of town. Then, when the council bought the house from us to build a road, my grandfather retired and my father went and worked for the Post Office. My mother was a sample machinist; that is, she worked with designers on the prototypes (models or samples) of garments. So I was very well dressed! We bought a relatively modern house in the country, and my mother was blissfully happy. It’s all very well living in a large old house, but it’s a dreadful task to keep it clean and warm!

My mother's side of the family are Romany gypsies, although sadly we haven't any of the old trailers that are so astonishingly beautiful. I was taught to read the Tarot cards, and I usually use two packs; the Rider pack for simple readings and the Crowley Thoth pack for the complex stuff.
I've always had an interest in the paranormal and it's been a delight to be able to put some of this into my novels.

Reviews

[Lady Lioness · Rating 4 out of 5]

Still shotgunning. While the plot is somewhat different from Sunfire, the quality of the writing is exactly the same, pros and cons. I basically spent four dollars and change for this, and was happy with what I got. I would NOT have paid the full price of nine dollars for it.

This may have been my favorite of the series. I really liked Ryan Hawthorne is great character. I like this world of Firbird shapshifter the author has created. Drama, suspense and rock n roll...an enjoyable read.

Out of the 3 I would probably say I liked this one the most. The chemistry was great, her own sexual openness, and his obvious love for her were all wonderful.
