Summary: Beguiling Magic and Romance
Review: In the tradition of Mary Renault and Diana Gabaldon, Lennox draws you into her world, seamlessly melding history and fantasy into a heady concoction. Her characters are intelligent, independent, and delighfully human, occasionally exasperating, but never failing to entertain. Lennox knows her subject matter well, and provides a strong historical backdrop against which she paints a rich tapestry of magic and political intrigue, never forgetting the need for that enduring love which must overcome all in the end. 'Heart of Fire' slyly seduces you, leaving you you wanting more, which is hopefully planned for the near future.

Summary: A dazzling historical fantasy romance
Review: When a slave girl saves his life, King Nicholas Rostov demands her ownership papers and her remarkable horse in recompense for the danger he survived. Sera captures his imagination with her determination and spirit, but she conceals secrets the likes of which Nicholas can scarcely imagine. Nicholas works to protect his country from both Napoleon's troops and the Brotherhood, a band of terrorists that stalk his borders. Rather than allow her risk danger alone, Nicholas brings Sera home with him, but she resists his efforts at civilization.

Nicholas' intuition leads him to believe Sera conceals special power that could aid him in protecting his country. While his conscious clamoures to release her, his growing desire demands that he keep her near. He certainly does not suspect that Sera is a princess on a mission for her people. The assassin Anatole Galerien stole the Heart of Fire, a fantastic ruby that protects her magical kingdom from the outside world. She must find the ruby before solstice, or it will be too late. Worse, her powers are growing exponentially and only her love for Nicholas gives her any control over them.

Author Mary Lennox pens an exhilarating historical fantasy romance that creates a world of magic in HEART OF FIRE. A gripping read rich with historical background, exotic locations and complex characterizations, HEART OF FIRE will capture the reader's imagination. While Lennox takes great liberty with geography and historical accuracy, readers willing to suspend their disbelief will be rewarded with a delightfully imaginative read that truly entertains. With a dazzling touch of magic, HEART OF FIRE comes very highly recommended.
