About this ebook
Some like it hot…
Fire has always been a part of Cynda Flynn’s life—from her red-hair to the flames she wields as a Sybil warrior priestess. But when undercover cop Nick Lowell ignites the flames of passion within, she’s caught completely off guard.
Cynda thought she understood heat and power, but this sensation is something completely new. And if she can’t reconcile her feelings for the irresistible half-human, half-demon, they may consume her completely.
Through his strong-will and self-control, Nick has learned to manage his dark side. After five years of undercover work with The Legion Cult, he’s become as tough as steel—or so he thought. He’s become tough as steel from five years of secret work within the Legion cult. Or so he thought. But Cynda Flynn changes everything and his once unshakeable resolve is starting to melt.
But a new evil is threatening to extinguish fire Sybils like Cynda. Will Nick’s love be enough to save her…and the rest of the world?
“Round two of the high-stakes war contains all the action, kick-butt battles and sizzling sensuality of the first installment of the Dark Crescent Sisterhood series. After her two outstanding releases, Windsor is sure to become a brand name. Great characters and tight, exciting plots make this a true thrill ride!” -RT Book Review
Anna Windsor
I'm finally living my lifelong dream of loving all my jobs. I still work in psychology, I farm, I write—and I have a blast. I'm southern by birth, and I've lived in the south most of my life. My foothill farm is beautiful, and I couldn't ask for a better place to live or write. I find inspiration, peace, joy, and beauty in my family, my home, the woods, and the love of all my many animals. And I do have a lot of animals. I mean, a lot. Dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, peafowl, guineas, ducks, geese, and oh, yeah—a parrot. Urban fantasy, high fantasy, futuristic science fiction, and historical fantasy are my favorite genres to write or to read. I write almost every day, and I try to finish at least one manuscript every few months. I also try to dedicate a few hours to playing my guitar and piano, photography, playing video games, watching old movies, and walking. I'm thrilled to be able to write, and thrilled that readers enjoy my stories.

Synopsis
In order to discover the identity of the killer targeting Fire Sibyls for death, Cynda Flynn must work with Nick Lowell, a former undercover cop with the NYPDs Occult Crime Unit who also happens to be a Curson demon. Nick has his other half under control but how long will that last now that Cynda in next of the killer's list.
Review
Good action scenes and some witty dialogue but the romance is not as engrossing as in Bound by Shadows.
Cynda and Nick are a likeable couple but there is nothing really special about either of them and their romance lacks the intensity of connection and emotion that characterized the couple in the first book. On a positive note, Cynda and Nick willingly accept their growing relationship and there is very little angst in their romance as the threat is mainly external. Nevertheless, Cynda's constant burning of clothes and setting fire to everything around her becomes tiresome after a while.
The secondary story revolving around the murder of Fire Sibyls and the questionable loyalties of Nick's brother, Jake, are compelling with some good twists and turns even though the identity of the killer is too obvious.
Overall, a good PNR read and as Jake's character really appealed to me, I look forward to his and Merilee's story. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Yowza, this book is waaayyyyy hot! No pun intended. "Bound by Flame" is Anna Windsor's second book in her 'Dark Crescent Sisterhood' and it's fabulous. Cynda, the fire sybil, fights the Legion, a personal enemy targeting fire sybils, and her own Motherhouse to get her man! And what a man Nick is!! He's half demon, handsome, and hung! What more could a fire sybil ask for?I loved "Bound by Shadow" so much, I was almost hesitant to read this second book. I was afraid it woulnd't, couldn't be as riveting as the first. I was so wrong, and have never been happier to admit it. Cynda has to struggle and overcome problems with her values, her 'family', and her powers to be with Nick. Each of the issues has merit in Windsor's world and Cynda's hard lessons are evident in the decisions she makes which drive the romance side of the plot. Nick too, has some tough decisions to make...what is family and what is he willing to give up to protect and defend what's his. The romance is very well written and so compelling, and oh so hot...you'll burn your fingers reading about it.The action and suspense is done just as well. Windsor's plot threads from this second book weave seamlessly into those from the first and together they form an exciting tale. Now I just have to wait for the third book, "Bound by Light" which will focus on Merilee and Jake. Thank goodness I only have to wait long enough to make a quick trip to the bookstore as it's already hit the shelves. If you're a fan of hot paranormals, get up right now and go get all three. You won't be sorry.
