Bleddyn has waited centuries for the woman who will be able to heal him and purge the blood lust he has felt for so long.  However, each time he is ready to claim her, something occurs that makes is necessary for her to be given to the flames and the wait begins all over again.  Now Bleddyn is known as Dr. Bleddyn Glyndwr, an expert on wolves – something he naturally is.

Meredythe Welsh is a reporter who is still trying find the big story that will make her name.  After being pulled off of one she had high hopes for, Meredythe is not happy to be given another one concerning a possible serial killer.  But she is quickly intrigued and follows a path that leads her directly to Bleddyn. 

Not willing to lose Meredythe yet again, Bleddyn goes along with a plan that was thought out and put into action long ago.  Meredythe begins to wonder about this wolf expert she has found and her recent affinity for the wolves in his care.  Hoping to have a clear path to his joining with Meredythe this time, Bleddyn learns that his old nemesis has also found out who Meredythe is and is on their trail.  Old grudges and beliefs lead to danger. When all is done, will the fires once again separate these star-crossed lovers?

Fires of Solstice gives us two main characters who have traveled through time to find each other.  Bleddyn has existed without relief, always hoping to get to Meredythe in time to join with her and end his suffering.  Meredythe, on the other hand, has lived many lives and always ends up being consumed by the fires before Bleddyn can get to her.  Following the two of them through their previous encounters and the outcomes kept me thinking about star-crossed lovers who can never quite find each other.  The sparks that flew between Meredythe and Bleddyn grew, but for the majority of the book, I was unsure if the sparks would become flames of passion, or distrust and disbelief.  The ending and actual hero of the story kept up with the unusual and gripping plot line.  Lovers of books starring paranormal creatures and even those who enjoy historicals and don’t mind contemporaries, will enjoy the twists and turns of the Fires of Solstice.
