As usual, Mercedes Lackey drew me into a page-turner story. A young female who is a scholar, rare at the end of the Victorian era, finds herself thrust into the world when her father dies, leaving her penniless. A job comes her way, designed just for her; she takes it even though she must move from Chicago to San Francisco where she knows no one. What happens next is magical, of course. It was almost impossible to put the book down.

I have to admit, I collect all versions of Beauty and the Beast. This version is unique in the fact that Rosalind has no living family - so there is no one that will miss her when she goes off to the beast's lair. I love Rosalind's spunk and her sparring with Jason often make the book. The ending is also a unique take on the tale. I see this book as a prelude to Mercedes Lackey's "Elemental Masters" series. Fire Rose has the same system of magic that is used in the "Elemental Masters" books. And, like the other books in the series, it is a retelling of a fairy tale. The main difference seems to be that Fire Rose is set in America, not England.
