Up in Flames is a book with a lot to offer. It's a spicy love story, a suspenseful mystery, and an eerie paranormal all wrapped up in one well-written novel. I was instantly drawn into the storyline with its sympathetic hero and heroine and appalling villain.

The heroine, Rosanna Redhill, is a complex character with a tragic past. She is vulnerable, even damaged in many ways, but she is still determined to be independent and resilient and I found her both appealing and believable. I especially liked that she was not the type to sit around waiting to be rescued; she does what she can to protect herself and even the hero when necessary.

The hero, Bradford Walsh is in many ways a classic two-fisted hero but with a modern edge. He too bears scars from a difficult past and it is this vulnerability and hidden pain that made him such an attractive character. I really liked that the author showed us the hero's fallibility and his conflicted feelings about the heroine. He comes across as a three-dimensional character rather than just a muscle-bound stud.

First, let me say that I'm not a big romance fan. I'm more into sci-fi, fantasy, etc. But the paranormal elements in this book were really well done and fascinating. And there should be enough romance for any lover of romance stories!
