Burning Lamp by Amanda Quick (Dreamlight trilogy book 2). 328 p.
Amanda Quick is Jayne Ann Krentz's pen name when she writes fiction in historical rather than modern-day settings. This is a sequel to Fired Up, which I read in January. This one is a bit better that the first, because she doesn't have to spend so much of her page count setting up plots. Still, I prefer her older historicals, before she dragged in paranormal powers and had to spend so much time talking about them and how they work; she's much better at entertaining characters, rather than plot. Also, the male lead in this one is a "crime lord," which could have been interesting had she spent any time making him seem scary rather than just mildly eccentric, but she didn't.
