Ember by Kristen Callihan

 

Pre-quel to Firelight
Darkest London Series

After a fire consumes the Ellis family fortune, the beautiful and resourceful Miranda finds herself faced with an impossible dilemma: enter a life of petty crime or watch her family succumb to poverty. But once her fiancée learns of her descent into danger--and of the strange, new powers she's discovered --saving her family may come at the high price of her heart.

When Lord Benjamin Archer's one chance for redemption is destroyed by corrupt London antiquarian Hector Ellis, he vows to take what Ellis values most-his daughter Miranda. Forced to hide his face behind masks, Archer travels the world hoping to escape the curse that plagues him so that he can finally claim his prize.

But once Archer returns home to London, will it be revenge he seeks? Or will the flame-haired beauty ignite new, undeniable desires?

I gave this book a 4

       

Ember is the missing puzzle piece! Kristen Callihan's prequel to Firelight is a must read, and I'll actually go so far as to say, read Ember after you read Firelight.  Firelight created the fire and passion we delight in, and Ember is the kindle.  Ember is all that leads us to the events in Firelight, we are given in depth views of Archer and Miranda's lives before the fateful night they meet.
