Lord of Fire by Gaelen Foley

Rating: 5

back cover: 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. . . .

Review: An angel meets Lucifer... This book was fantastic. Lord Lucien Knight is quite the bad boy. After he seduces his brothers intended, he takes her to his home where he has a party that is not unlike eyes wide shut meets the playboy mansion. Yeah, like that... Alice Montague is the woman's sister in law, and she manages to make it past Lucien's many safeguards and into the grotto party just to fetch her SIL to bring her back to her sick son. But once Lucien lays his eyes on Alice he knows that he must have her, body and soul, as her innocence is a balm to his damaged soul. In a ploy not unlike the one in Beauty and the Beast, he keeps Alice in his home for a week, where they discover a lasting and beautiful love. very romantic, original, sensual, and action filled, this is NOT to be missed!!!
