Once blissfully in love...
Poppy Lane is keeping secrets. Her powerful gift has earned her membership in the Society for the Suppression of Supernaturals, but she must keep both her ability and her alliance with the Society from her husband, Winston. Yet when Winston is brutally attacked by a werewolf, Poppy's secrets are revealed, leaving Winston's trust in her as broken as his body. Now Poppy will do anything to win back his affections....
Their relationship is now put to the ultimate test.
Winston Lane soon regains his physical strength but his face and heart still bear the scars of the vicious attack. Drawn into the darkest depths of London, Winston must fight an evil demon that wants to take away the last hope of reconciliation with his wife. As a former police inspector, Winston has intelligence and logic on his side. But it will take the strength of Poppy's love for him to defeat the forces that threaten to tear them apart.

Critic reviews
The paranormal Victorian-era world of the DARKEST LONDON expands by leaps and bounds in WINTERBLAZE, so I recommend reading the first two books in the series -- FIRELIGHT and MOONGLOW -- before reading WINTERBLAZE. There are new supernatural creatures to be discovered, paranormal politics to be played and a host of surprises that are sure to have you avidly turning the pages of WINTERBLAZE. Again, I'm afraid I'll have to be vague to avoid giving away any of the fantastic twists and turns in WINTERBLAZE. Suffice it to say that you will NOT want to miss this book.
WINTERBLAZE is a phenomenal romance that I highly recommend. Kristen Callihan is an author to watch -- it's clear she's a master at her craft. I foresee many, many more spellbinding stories coming from her and I, for one, cannot wait to read them!
Moira Quirk was outstanding as the narrator.

The oldest Ellis sister, Poppy, and her husband of 15 years, Win, have been estranged as a result of the secrets each is keeping from the other, but also due to the guilt they feel as a result of the choices they each made in the past. One of them has sold their soul to a demon so they could be together, but now it's time to pay up. Ms. Callahan writes the interaction between these characters so well that it feels like a real marriage. These are two very strong and stubborn individuals who are deeply in love with each other, but who have no illusions about the obstacles they'll have to overcome in order to have a future together.
For me, this was an unusual book for the PR genre, mainly because we very rarely see the story of an established married couple struggling in their marriage within a supernatural context. I thought it was very well done. Moira Quirk was good, as usual, and this book is one I will listen to it again.
All three books in this series fit together beautifully, but if I have one complaint it's that the three sisters don't come together to help each other when one of them gets in trouble. The author stays within the industry standard that each book deals with different main characters, and the previously introduced characters, however related, are only peripheral to the story. I think this standard is getting a bit tired, and this book would have benefited by having all the sisters get together to battle the baddies. (Otherwise, what's the point of their special powers?) I kept waiting for Miranda to come in and burn the place down, but nope. No love.
I don't know if there will be another book or not, but if there is another I wish it would allow all the characters to work together. This is one of those books I'd love to join a discussion group to talk about.
NOTE to PR fans: There is a great new series (Night Prowler) by J. T. Geissinger, currently available on Amazon, but not yet on Audible. Give it a look. It's pretty amazing.

The Narrater Moira Quirk gives life to the story with her wonderful seductive voice.
The novel and the narrator left me wanting more of the Darkest London stories, and that’s how I want every book I read to end.
Amazing Sequel!!!

While Winston and Poppy try to work things out between them, a demon is on the hunt and he's looking for Winston. It seems that Winston has secrets of his own and it's coming out in the open now. There's always a price to pay when bargaining with the devil.
I really enjoy this series. It has that HR-PNR combo that I love. Another thing that I really like is that you get a good mix of Supes, not just vamps and werewolves. And steamy sex scenes- Bonus!
I'm really looking forward to the next book and fully expect to enjoy each one in the series. Onward!
Onward!

We are introduced to Poppy and Winston Lane in the first book of the series. Poppy is Miranda and Daisy's older sister and Winston, a savvy police inspector, is her husband of several years. After the events of the previous book leaves Winston and Poppy's marriage in shambles it takes the threat of a demon to bring these two back together to mend their relationship.
This story was fantastic! I loved the way Callihan weaved the beginnings of Poppy and Winston's courtship and relationship within the tale. This couple was clearly in love, but it took a huge betrayal to bring out the depth of their emotions for one another. So much is revealed in this story regarding the Ellis sisters and the overall paranormal world. It is becoming an even more intriguing storyline as we delve further into the characters, histories, and events in the series. I cannot wait for the next book because it will feature two characters I am dying to know more about their past and eventually their future. Another character I am curious to know more about is Lena (spelling? I listened to the audio version so I'm not sure of the spelling).

Another great narration from Quirk. Accents, distinctions, tone, and inflection was spot on. The pace was perfect when I set the reading at 1.25x the normal speed.
This series is on my favorite list!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes I would. The action the love story and way the couple worked everything out and love concurs all atmosphere for all the relationships in the bookWhat other book might you compare Winterblaze to and why?
The first two books about her sisters compare to this one but I still like Moonlight the bestHave you listened to any of Moira Quirk’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
She is a good narratorWas there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I liked all the times when he promised to support her after he found out he caused them to be in the position they were in. In the first books I never saw him the way he was presented in this book. I am glad he got back with his brother in the endAny additional comments?
Hurry with the next book I can't wait.You will love it
