This is the 2nd book in this new series by Ms. Carlisle. After the attack and fire at the underground goth club Vamps, the owner Michel decides to sell the club and travel with Nike. Now a year later Nike’s bestie Maya decides to pay a visit to her and Nike’s old haunt Vamps.

Only one thing captures her attention the moment she looks across the room though, the tall, dark and mysterious hunk staring straight at her. Looks like her night at Vamps just got interesting, but the minute she blinks, he is gone.
Tristan has always thought of his gift as a curse, all he sees are peoples dark auras the hurt and sadness, but when he sees the lovely girl at the door he is surprised by what he sees for the first time in his life….Could the lovely Maya be the light that balances his dark?
Good/ evil, light/dark there is always one that balances the other, you just have to see it.
This is the second book in the Underground Encounters Series. Maya and Tristan’s story is interesting, and intriguing. I loved to see again the characters from the first book. Amber Lee Connors and Kieran Flitton did a great job with the narration. Looking forward to listen to Ignite, the next book in the Series. #AudiobooksUnleashed
I listened to Fire as a standalone, and got the storyline, but I would recommend listening to first book Smolder first, which hopefully I will do. Having said that, characters are well developed, has an interesting storyline which is dark around the edges with pn flair.
I enjoyed Amber and Kieran’s narration in bringing these characters to life.
I was gifted this audible book for a fair and honest review.
I thought that this was a very good read. This is the second book in this series. I feel that if you could easily read this as a standalone story if you wanted to. This is Maya and Tristan’s story. I liked this couple a lot. Their attraction is practically tangible and the chemistry just sizzles between these two. When these two come together expect plenty of heat! There is an almost yin and yang feel to these characters and that made this couple very appealing to me. I thought that the story was interesting and engaging. Well written and featuring a compelling combination of drama, secrets, excitement, action, steamy passion and romance, I thought that this was a very fun read. I look forward to book three.

Fire
Underground Encounters, Book 2
By: Lisa Carlisle
Narrated by: Amber Lee Connors, Kieran Flitton
This is a fantastic story, it is well written and well told. Lisa Carlisle created an imaginative story with equally imaginative characters. I enjoyed her writing style, she had my attention right from the start and held it straight to the end. Her characters are complex and well developed. I adored the two leads and the chemistry between them. I admired Maya for her strength and how easily she accepted Tristan for who he was and his abilities. My heart went out to Tristan, his loneliness and his need to keep his distance from people. That was until he sees her on the dance floor of his new nightclub. She is his light to his dark but can it really be. I loved how well plotted this book is, there is plenty of drama, angst, some twists, magical moments, emotional ones as well as the start of a great romance. It was great to see the characters come into their own as they worked their magic together. Thank you Lisa Carlisle for this fantastic story.
I listened to the Audible edition, Amber Lee Connors & Kieran Flitton are wonderful narrators and voice artists. They bring the characters to life, giving each their own voice and personality. They did a great job portraying the characters and capturing their passion and emotions which could be heard in their performance. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen

Fire by Lisa Carlisle was originally published as Fiery Nights in 2012. This review is on the revised second installment of the Underground Encounters Series.
Firefighter Maya Winters has not been back to the Underground Club, Vamps, since the fire a year ago. The same night her friend Nike disappeared. But it’s Halloween, and Maya has missed the club.
Tristan Stone bought the club at a steal after a fire shut it down, and the previous owner disappeared. With his secrets, he doesn’t spend much time in the club proper, but ventured upstairs on Halloween night.
When Maya and Tristan meet, they flame like a house on fire. But both have secrets and doubts. Can they survive to find their own happily ever after?
The story and action moves fast, as does the explosive chemistry between the leads. Another incredible story from Lisa Carlisle, an easy 4-stars.

When I say erotic I am not kidding! 70% of the story was hot sex scenes the rest was the story. Of that story I totally enjoyed the hunt for the truth and this couples pursuit for connection of the magical kind. There was quite a bit of prolonged mental self flagellation from both characters which was a bit trying for me. I have both the ebook and the audible and the voices are done quietly and match them up quite well.
FIRE (Underground Encounters Book 2) by Lisa Carlisle is HOT!
I am very glad I continued on in this paranormal romance series, even though the first novella in the series had a few problems for me. This story begins a year after the fire at Vamps and follows Maya. It can easily be read as a standalone, even though it does bring characters from the first novella back.
Maya Winters is missing her best friend and decides Halloween is the perfect time to return to Vamps and blow off some steam dancing after a long shift working as a firefighter. As she is dancing away to her favorite tunes, she suddenly feels eyes on her. When she sees the tall, dark and brooding bad boy staring at her she feels an instant attraction.
Tristan Stone is the new, mysterious owner of the rebuilt Vamps. Tristan is from a long line of Salem witches. He stays away from people due to what he considers his curse, because he has only ever been able to see darkness around people and it drains him. When he comes up from his underground lab beneath the club one day to check on things, he immediately spots a woman dancing because of the brilliant light surrounding her. This has never happened before and he has to find out why she is different.
Maya and Tristan combust when they are together. The two opposites are light to dark and outgoing to cautious. Tristan thinks Maya may be the answer to his curse, but he has never told anyone about it outside of his family. Maya is harboring a secret of her own that she has never shared. The sex is hot, but can a relationship with secrets last?
Maya and Tristan are main characters that are perfect together. Ms. Carlisle has given these characters depth that is as fun and entertaining as it is serious. The sex scenes bring the fire and heat. With the return of Nike and Michel, I cannot wait to see what happens next in this series!
