Gaelen Foley (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: 2003

From Booklist: While chasing a wily pickpocket who stole the money she desperately needs to escape an arranged marriage, Lady Jacinda Knight stumbles into a gang war in a dangerous part of London. She is rescued by Billy Blade, the infamous "King of Thieves," who takes her back to his lair until he discovers her real identity and immediately takes her home, leaving her with only memories of their forbidden passion. When Billy is later forced to abandon his adopted identity and resume his rightful place as William Spencer Albright, the Earl of Rackford, the entire town wonders where he has been hiding since he disappeared as a young boy, everyone, that is, except Jacinda, who immediately recognizes the wicked rogue lurking beneath his civilized veneer. Foley neatly contrasts the dark, perilous corners of London with the dazzling world of the city's wealthy as she continues her Knights Miscellany series in another delectably entertaining, lusciously sensual historical Regency, proving herself once again to be an irresistible author skilled at blending passion and intrigue.

This review is from: Lady of Desire (The Knight Series, Number 4) (Hardcover)

Gaelen Foley is a truly gifted author. This is the 4th novel in the Knight family series. I have read the previous 3 novels and this one was by far my favorite. The main charaters Billy and Jacinda were strongly developed and perfectly matched. Billy and Jacinda practically sizzle with tension both emotionally and physically throughout the entire novel. I just love it when the heroine gets to save the hero and ultimately that is just what happens in this novel. It is a beautifully engaging story of hope, trust, love, and forgiveness that will make you laugh and cry up until the very end. Like her previous 3 novels it is definitely a keeper. I highly recommend this novel for historical romance readers.
