Crystal Flame Book

I don't know how many times I have read this book, but it remains one I look forward to re-reading. Like Shield's Lady, the plot and genre remain interesting and unusual, the characters are fascinating, and the dialogue seldom disappoints. I am grateful to Ms. Krentz for persevering with this genre, since it is hard to find. It also has a little turnabout in that it is Ridge who is unsure of himself as far as the marriage is concerned and anxious to pin Kalena down while Kalena is only willing to indulge in a temporary marriage and longs for freedom. The concepts of good versus evil and light versus dark are treated well and make the reader think about the importance of balance in anyone's life.
