Lord of Fire Knight Miscellany Gaelen Foley 9780449006375 Books

I bought this years ago before I began doing reviews and I have read it a few times since then. I have to say that disappointment with Ms Foley's recent offerings had me doubting that I truly loved these earlier books. I decided to go back and reread them all so that I could leave a review on each book and I'm so glad I did. Lord of Fire is still possibly my favourite books by this author. It isn't because it's historically accurate because it isn't. It's more to do with the incredible dialogues between the H and h. I had the pleasure of highlighting my favourite passages this time (on my Kindle) and it's going to be difficult to quote only one later on in this review. The H is a spy for the crown and he has a particularly decadent cover that has all innocent hs running for cover. At the start of this book the h is only interested in trying to rescue her sister-in-law from the wicked clutches of the debauched, decadent and rakish H. The H turns the tables on the h and her sister-in-law by making them choose who will stay with him. The h is a goody two shoes, who is morally upright and convinced that the H cannot debauch her. There is also a mystery theme going on the background that will force the main characters to make difficult choices.

One of my favourite quotes: "They try. I run." He drew little stars on her midriff with his fingertip. "Maybe I've merely been waiting for you."

Why not 5 stars? +++Spoilers+++
I still have issues with timelines and some tacky stuff. The h's sister-in-law was almost betrothed to the H's twin brother but the H didn't believe she was good enough for his brother, so he drew her into having an affair with him. This happens days before the H sleeps with the h. The H is a bit of a dog and the h is an innocent. It's just a bit "eww" for me to cope with.

Ms Foley, why don't you reread these early books of yours and try to capture these same magical elements in your newer books?

As I said earlier this was my first Gaelen Foley book and what a way to start!! The War with France is over and Napoleon has been contained but there is still clean up to be done. And of course those pesky Americans are causing problems with Britain burning Washington. A spy's work is never done. And Lucien Knight is the perfect spy.. Casting a net to all the wicked and wild he seduces the information out of others. Set in his household as a sexual wonderland the deviant come to play. After all who better to gather information from than the dissipated lords who have information at hand. It seems these gathering attract not only those lost lords but also enemy spies gather to garner any info available as well. A very successful way of working for generations.. that is until Lucien finds out his greatest enemy still lives and he finds the one person who sees him, the real him.

Lucien Knight has spent his life as the "other" twin. His brother Damien was born to be a hero but Lucien was of a quieter more cerebral nature. His intelligence is beyond compare and when war came and he was forced to choose battle or espionage he went where he was truly needed. But his choices had ramifications, he felt that he had lost what little respect he had in his own family and the disconnection from his twin, the other half of himself, leaves him lost. But being the man he is, he persevered.. never letting anything keep him from his goals. And now it comes down to his family, his country, the man who almost destroyed him and suddenly love.

Alice Montague, has spent the last few years being the main support for her beloved brother's son.. The widow (and mother) having no desire to be stuck caring for a child. As much as she cares for Harry, she also dreams of a family of her own. For now though, Harry comes first. When Harry comes down with Chickenpox, Alice is determined that Harry's mother will attend him, so she goes in search of her. Good old mom, the skank, is lost in the seduction of the grotto, enjoying what sexual delights she can and having no desire to return. When Lucien says only one can leave, Alice, being a truly bright star in the wold stays.. Leading to an adventure beyond compare.

As these two wonderful characters fall in love they are faced with the reality of life. Sure isolated as they are at Lucien's estate the world falls away and it's easy to fall in love but.. When Lucien discovers that the only man who ever held him captive, who tortured him and yes broke him, survived the war and is now in England, he is desperate to track him down and kill him. Alice not understanding the nature of Lucien's life demands he make a choice.. Revenge or her.. Lucien wants both, no room to compromise.

Alice is a very black and white character and she has to learn that there is more to the world than what she knows. That there are times when sacrifice must be made. She has to learn how to support the ones you love and to accept them as they are. Lucien on the other hand, has to learn that life is not to be lived in the Shadows. That compromise does not mean hiding in the grey areas.. And fortunately for him he has Alice to guide him into the light.

As I read this series, I totally loved the fact that Lucien, the under appreciated twin, got his book first. It seems that he had always been an after thought to the rest of the world, it was nice of Ms Foley to put him before Damien. Although he is the 4th son of the Hawksville Harlot the family does not play a huge part in this book. Yes, they appear but they are not the center point. That particular story arc had only begun to rise.. but you will see more of the family interactions as the series goes on.

I really love Gaelen Foley's work. She was one of the first authors to step into the grittier side of the ton. Her books have weight and depth.. yep, that means the print is smaller *grins* you know what I mean. I seriously suggest you read this series.. it is just a wonderful sweeping epic of what a family could be.
