Week 11 Review: Shadow Fire

From Goodreads:
Journey deeper into the world of Chicago's most dangerous, alluring crime family in this incendiary installment of the Shadow Riders series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan.

Shadow Rider Elie Archambault has been called many things: domineering, brash, loyal, but most of all fast. And there's nothing faster than choosing to marry a woman you've never met. All he has is a signed contract and a list of his new bride's expectations for their arranged marriage. He's not expecting love or some happy ever after, just a partner that knows exactly what she signed up for. He'll be faithful because he's a man of honor, but she'll never have his heart....

Elie knows who he is. A privileged member of the Archambault family. A skilled rider and fighter. A man who's always had things easy for all the wrong reasons. He's made his mistakes and lost his chance at real, true passion with his other half thanks to his own careless arrogance. Now he just wants to do his duty as a Shadow Rider and leave the past behind.

But Elie has no idea that his choice is about to spark a blaze that will burn all his carefully laid plans to the ground.... 

My Review:
I knew I was going to love this book, I love all of Christine Feehan's books! Getting Elie's story was so great-because we were introduced to the start of it in Shadow Storm, and I'm really glad that he had a chance to redeem himself after acting so poorly towards Brielle!

I really enjoy this series, this world of Shadow Riders is really interesting to read. So that we're reading about main characters besides the Ferraro family is really great, because I think they've all had their books at this point, and now we can see more! 

Elie agrees to an arranged marriage, because he had a chance at love, but he blew it. But when it turns out his arranged bride is the girl who he did this to, well, it was such a compelling story! I loved seeing things from both of their perspectives! 

Most of this book was the romance, but there was things going on in the background, which was entertaining to read. But speaking of the romance, this is BDSM. I do hope at some point we'll have a female be the dominant, in this series, or at least one Christine Feehan book, but I enjoyed these two and their dynamics! 

Loved reading this book, and I can't wait to see where this series goes from here!
