Product Description
Gaelen Foley has become one of the hottest new writers in romance, enticing her readers with bold love stories that burn with emotional intensity. Now in new novel, she presents her most unforgettable hero yet, the irresistible Lord of Fire.
After years of preparation, he has baited his trap well, luring the depraved members of Society into his devil’s playground so he can earn their trust and uncover their secrets. Yet no one in London suspects that Lord Lucien Knight is England’s most cunning spy, an officer who has sacrificed his soul for his country. Now an unexpected intruder has invaded his fortress of sin, jeopardizing his carefully laid plans–and igniting his deepest desires.
Beautiful, innocent, Alice Montague finds herself at the mercy of scandalous Lord Lucien. But as he begins his slow seduction to corrupt her virtue, Alice glimpses a man tormented by his own choices, a man who promises her nothing except his undeniable passion. . . .

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I really enjoyed reading this book, as I have all of Gaelen Foley's other books. Set in the Regency period, but slightly different to the usual Regency romances, the story centres around England's top spy and an innocent young woman, who for once is not an empty headed miss looking for a husband. I particularly liked the way that the author gradually lets the character of Lord Lucien (the spy) unfold, allowing the reader to really get to know him, for he is not the person he first appears to be. The story is filled with secrets, seduction and scandal, the reader is also introduced to Damien, Lucien's identical twin brother who I am looking forward to reading more about in Lord Of Ice.

I think I'm becomming addicted to Gaelen Foley's novels as after reading THE DUKE, I couldn't wait to read this, the next book in her KNIGHTS MISCELLANY series. You don't have to have read THE DUKE first as each of these books stands on its own even though Foley is writing about the same family.
As with THE DUKE this is another very sexy read and Foley is great at combining strong sensual romance with a page-turning dramatic adventure plot...
Much enjoyed!Onto the next!

The characters are poorly written and the plot is terribly cliched. Add to that a host of anachronisms or Americanisms which should have been picked up by the author or an editor. For example, various references to eating muffins for breakfast; the balls of a billiard game being the type that would be used for a game of pool; saying the Gunpowder Plot was a Jacobite plot (the king being targetted was the great-grandfather of the James the Jacobites wanted to restore the throne!). I'll forgive using fish and chips as a password long before fish and chips came together, because it did make me giggle, but really the whole thing came across as a pastiche, rather than a serous attempt to write a regency romance
