Summary: Gaelen Foley at her best
Review: I just read some of the negative and so-so reviews of this book and I have to say, I am apalled! This and Lord of Ice are two of my favorite books of all time. I'm a long time historical romance reader and the Knight twins' books are some of my only "keepers." I have also read the Ascension series and The Duke, and although I liked them, they pale in comparison to Lord of Fire/Ice. Lucien and Alice were obviously meant for eachother. Alice was the pure, sweet water that assuaged Lucien's thirst (you'll understand when you read the book). They were so great together, and when Lucien made his confession about Bardou at the end of the book (I'm not really giving anything away by saying this) I found myself crying right along with them. These characters were far from flat and one-dimensional (sp?); I really felt like I knew them from reading the book. I can't give enough praise for Lord of Fire (and Lord of Ice). I hope you enjoy Foley's work as much as I did.

Summary: The Best Romance Book I've Read By Far
Review: Once I've start reading this book, I can't stop until I finished it. The action kept me turning the pages. Lord of Fire is one of the best works from Gaelen Foley and I am looking forward to reading her next series.

Summary: Just OK
Review: After reading (and re-reading) the Duke I anxiously looked forward to this novel and the companion "Lord of Ice". I was very disappointed. The characters had no depth and the story never caught my attention. Not a keeper-sold this one to Half Price Books.

Summary: Gaelen Foley continues her streak
Review: Gaelen Foley's books have never failed to hold my interest. She entwines her stories with history, romance, a little heat and some mystery and intrigue on the side. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look foward to her next historical romance. There are still a couple of branches in the Hawkscliffe family tree that certainly deserve their own stories. I am eagerly anticipating their arrival. Keep 'em coming Gaelen!!

Summary: A new favorite
Review: First off, I love all of Gaelen Foley's novels. LORD OF FIRE, however, has easily become a new favorite of mine. The characters are completely lovable, and there are parts where the emotion they feel is so real that the reader can feel it and laugh/cry right along with them. To add to this, the story line is wonderful and exciting, and the beginning definitely hooks the reader. I highly, highly recommend this story, along with all of Gaelen Foley's other novels, to anyone seeking a good read and cannot wait for Alec's, Jack's, and Jacinda's stories.

Summary: Exhilarating! Gripping! Soul-Stirring!
Review: Ms Foley has excelled herself in this book. I enjoyed it SO much. THere is such richness and depth in the writing and characterisation.What I like most about Ms Foley's work is the fact that her characters are so human. Lucien Knight is every woman's dream man - the tall dark handsome brave hero, but at the same time is sensitive, vulnerable as well as cold and ruthless. I like the way the relationship between Lucien and Alice develops - desire, lust, sex - it is all there, but also there is liking, understanding, friendship and love and Ms Foley has brought this all out so successfully to make it a most poignant love story.
I am a definite fan of Ms Foley's work. I can't wait to get started on Lord of Ice.

Summary: Gaelen just gets better!!!!
Review: If you've read any of her other novels then you will love this one. It's filled with passion, lust, desire and most of all love. Lucien Knight was written with the right amount of mystery and passion. You're heart goes out to him when you realize how lonely he's been and how desperate he is for love. Alice Montague is written with warmth, intelligence and a burning desire to know what it's like to live on "the other side."
This book has everything that I enjoy about Gaelen's writing. She's not afraid to give her heros and heroines good qualities as well as bad ones. You learn to love them for themselves. She captures you from the moment you start reading until the end and then she leaves you wondering about the other brother......

Summary: LORD OF FIRE sizzles and smolders
Review: In her most ambitious work yet, Gaelen Foley continues the saga of the Hawkscliffe family with Georgina "The Harlot" Hawkscliffe's illegitmate twins, Lucien Knight and Damien Knight after Robert in THE DUKE. The central protagonist in LORD OF FIRE is shrewd British spy Lucien Knight who is hot on the trail of Claude Bardou who is bent on terrorizing the heart of England with his rumoured attempt to save the exiled Napolean in Elba. Their feud stretches more than that when months ago Lucien was captured and tortured by him - and a careless whisper of his mentor's name had led Claude to silence him. Using orgy parties in his decadent Revell Court as a guise for information tracking, Lucien assumes the notorious reputation of a rake. He traps the flirtatious Lady Glenwood, Caro sexually to keep Damien from jumping into marriage with the wrong woman. Alice Montague, her sister-in-law can no longer see Caro neglecting her sickly son Harry and comes to Revell Court to sought her out. She meets Lucien in person and her heart is tempted by his debonair nature and devastating good looks. The attraction jerks Lucien and disturbs him even more when Alice touches him with her exuberance and affection. She haunts him in his dreams with her profound words on love and enlightening maturity. Lucien keeps her in Revell Court against her will and a week of confinement with him turns miraculously into an exploration of vulnerable hearts and soul. He confesses his inferior complexity towards his brother Damien and finds himself marooned in despair when his espionage career sworns him into secrecy. Yet a even greater danger lurks when Claude hunts him down along with Alice.... LORD OF FIRE attempts to be stupendous with intricate plot-lines running on a cat-and-mouse game of treachery and espionage. Napolean's exile in Elba, the fascinating details of Bow Street and Guy Fawkes adds realism into Ms. Foley's masterful descriptions and her penchance for creating atmosphere. There is suspense and thrills which culminates in the climax when Claude and Lucien embarks in a ferocious chase. Its strength however backfires to bring out its weakness too. While Alice Montague and Lucien Knight are very endearing characters, their romance are somewhat stifled by the grand historical stage and sketchy characters like Caro. Ms. Foley is in her element when Alice and Lucien are together, engaging in poignant conversation and fierce lovemaking. Yet these moments are all too rare especially with its heavy 404 pages. It is all the more frustrating when Lucien Knight and Alice are such potential characters who could have been developed more thoroughly like Robert and Bel in THE DUKE. The overblown plot could be trimmed to have allowed more room into character growth. LORD OF FIRE sizzles and smolders with a regal sensuality and intrigue but it lacks the explosive impact between her protagonists to create a real blazer.

Summary: Not bad, but I expected better
Review: After reading "The Duke" I was simply blown away...that has got to be one of my favorite romance books, after Whitney my Love. I was looking foward to reading more about the Knight brothers, but this book wasn't as good as it's predecessor. Too bad, because I think Gaelen Foley has a really great writing style. The heroine didn't seem very charismatic, and at times was rather boring. Lucien is more intriguing though. Overall it wasn't a bad book, it had an semi-interesting plot, and kept me reading, but it wasn't memorable. I hope Lord of Ice is better!
