BOOK- LADY OF THE FLAMES- Perfect lady, disgraced lord, traitor, spies, magic with fire, magic with blades and love (of course!). Magic with is fraught with peril—but so is love.
Lord Fenimore Trent’s uncanny affinity for knives and other sharp blades led to knife fights, duels, and murderous brawls. Five years ago, he faced a choice: marry Andromeda Gibbons, the woman he loved, or find a safe, peaceful use for his blades by opening a furniture shop—an unacceptable occupation for a man of noble birth. The choice made itself when Andromeda turned to another man. The furniture shop prospered, but now Fen’s partner has been accused of treason. In order to root out the real traitor, he may face another unpalatable choice—to resort to the violent use of his blades once again. Once upon a time, Andromeda Gibbons believed in magic. That belief faded after her mother’s death and vanished completely when Lord Fenimore, the man she loved, spurned her. Five years later, Andromeda has molded herself into a perfect—and perfectly unhappy—lady. When she overhears her haughty betrothed, the Earl of Slough, plotting treason, she flees into the London night—to Fen, the one man she knows she can trust. But taking refuge with Fen proves to mean far more than getting help—it means learning to believe in love, magic, and the real Andromeda once again. AMAZON

Loved this book! What a good story, a fun romp. I enjoyed every minute of this story. Yes a fun romp even amidst two lovers who were separated by a misunderstanding and magic. Yes, there is magic, betrayal, spies, upper class nobility and those considered to be of the lower class (by being tradesmen). Andromeda was only days away from her wedding and she was liking her fiancee less and less as time goes on. Then she overheard that treasonous conversation by the Earl of Slough (what a great name for such an evil guy). Andromeda was a smart, likeable person and true to the times that this story is set, unfortunately no one would listen to just a woman. She needed to get to safety, and get help. She needed proof and to put a stop to what is being planned against her beloved country.
Okay so normally I probably wouldn't be into reading stories that included hobgoblin's and etc., but what a charming story. Even Cuff, was charming and protective in his own way. It also took us on the journey that Andromeda made to begin to believe in magic again and to find out what her skills were and to learn to control them. When Fen, (Lord Fenimore ) finally stopped shunning Andromeda, he realized that he believed a lie, for 5 years. He also realized he never really stopped loving her. I loved Fen's business partner, Harry Wellcome, he was unique to the core. Fen's father at times had such a cavalier attitude towards the life and safety of others although a point in his favor was that he did love his son. He didn't understand him but he did love him. The romance between Fen and Andromeda was sweet and at times fierce too. They had known and trusted each other since childhood before things went so wrong. There is a HEA to their story though.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
