She found him on a snowy night. He sparked her desires and inflamed her dreams.
Independent and feisty, Shea Madison has a tussle on her hands. Living in and loving her quiet little corner of Montana, she’s fiercely determined to fight a real estate developer trying to turn her quaint little mountain town into a touristy ski resort. So, when an outsider shows up to study the effects on the area, she instantly attempts to sway his impression… even if it means a little harmless flirting with the enticing visitor.
Rhys Weland’s charade has one purpose—to bring the locals around to the idea of the resort, primarily the ringleader, Ms. Shea Madison. Embroiled in his deception, he’s stunned by the feelings she draws from deep inside him. Her integrity and sincerity quickly have him second-guessing his twisted morals. Her spirit arouses his soul. Her sensuality steals his breath.
In the dark of the night, in the warmth of the fire, the passion smoldering between them combusts. But just when it all seems to make sense, one small stubborn mistake shreds the fragile bond between them. Will an impetuous act reignite their flame, or will their love vanish like sparks in the air?

A signed Paperback from Sibylla Matilde herself.
Sibylla Matilde sure knows how to make you blush with her sexy scenes. If you're a fan of angst with a whole lot of scorching chemistry then this is your book. Matilde does a great job with the flow of the story and the build up to the sex scenes. Nothing feels forced or out of place.We all love a good steamy scene but we also need that story line to keep it going and Matilde does not disappoint.
Shea Madison is spit fire heroine who you can not help but fall in love with from the first words out of her mouth. She has had some tough moments in life and has learned how to live with them by shutting out the world and keeping any potential of harm away from herself, That is until she meets Rhys and he starts trying to get past the walls she has built over the years. They have an instant chemistry that seems to leap from the pages. As Shea fights for her town she seems to also be fighting herself in allowing joy into her life. Shea represents what I feel some women do when they are hurt they make their bubble smaller so nothing can pop it then overtime and with a little persuading she starts to push the envelope. Her instinct for self preservation starts to turn into a journey for self discovery and learning to go out side of her comfort zone. Sibylla Matilde has made me life long fan with this character and I am excited to read other heroines from her.
Rhys Weland may just be the next book boyfriend with his sweet talking, inner battle of right verse wrong and his ability to make the simple word of sweetheart seem so erotic. His battle with doing what he should and doing what is right seems to be coinciding with his feelings of lust verse love for Shea. As time goes on the lust builds up to point where it seems to effortlessly changes into love before he even has a chance to realize what has happened. This same evolution happens with what he should do regarding the town and the potential for a new resort to be built. But will these new changes stick or will he push them out of the way?Rhys is well rounded, funny and I loved him from the prologue.
Overall In the Firelight gets 4 stars. It has all the key things to a great book: instant hot chemistry, angst, great flow and well rounded characters. Keep an eye out for Sibylla Matilde I have feeling we will see great things in the future from her.

Music is her emotional trigger. Growing up with a Wagnarian-loving mother, Sibylla was raised to treasure music that digs deep into the psyche, drawing out elation, sorrow, grief, desire. The soundtrack to her life includes many genres spanning centuries. She looooooooves Thirty Seconds to Mars (rather obsessively, actually... but, really, how can you NOT be crazy about this guy!? Jared Leto. Shhh. ) & pimps them out to all her friends through Spotify. She also delights in Met Opera HD broadcasts at her local movie theater & hopes (listening Met?) to someday see Diana Damrau reprise her role as Mozart’s Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflöte.
Sibylla lives with her husband and hero who saved her from her own calamitous, young-adult self. He makes her laugh daily, even when things are tough. He's proved to her that love really can heal a shattered soul. In 18 years, they have never had a fight, although argue regularly with their two teenage kids who have, unfortunately, inherited their father’s quick wit (unfortunate as it is a quick wit that Sibylla, herself, definitely does not possess – there is a reason she is a writer & not a stand-up comedian). They live a quiet life with their two weird little rescued Chiweenies. Wait… teenagers & little yap-dogs? OK, maybe not so quiet.
