Lady of Fire

A Medieval Romance

By: Tamara Leigh

Narrated by: Mary Sarah Agliotta

Dangerous

Believing only death will prevent him from returning to England, Sir Lucien de Gautier answers his king's call to arms. When he is captured and his family refuses the ransom demand, he finds himself bound to the oars of a galley. Enraged and embittered, he has no hope of escape - until a rich merchant's wife offers him freedom. In exchange he agrees to smuggle a virtuous young woman out of a harem and onto a ship bound for England, unaware the real danger lies in the bond forged between him and his fiery charge. But when he learns she is as much his enemy as those who enslaved him, can he forgive her? More, can he forget her?

Impetuous

Determined to wed her childhood friend, a betrothal her English mother will go to any length to break, Alessandra refuses to abandon the only life she has known in Algiers - even if it means compromising her faith. But when she is entrusted to a new bodyguard whose scarred face and soul draw her to him, she soon discovers the bold Englishman is only playing a part, biding his time until he can fulfill his end of a treacherous bargain. Desperate to turn him from his course, she reveals her identity but succeeds only in gaining his contempt. Now that he knows the truth, will he ever feel for her all she feels for him? And will it be enough for her to forsake her world to live in his?

Interesting

Over all the storyline is good and I enjoyed it, however you can tell this is a rewritten story that was most likely cleaned up. The characters are too intimate and the original storyline shows through.
It's not my favorite but it's good.

Really enjoyed

This is my 3rd Tamara book and I’m definitely enjoying these stories! 😃
Daughter of Eve is still my favorite but this one definitely kept me going!
Looking forward to more of her stories 🙌🏻

Great book!

This was a great book. I did get frustrated with hero and heroin, but it was good.
The narration was spot on.

The difficulties of each character

Every character in this book has good & bad sides to them. Which is what we all have. Most of the time the good or bad sides are hidden from the reader. Both were shown in equal measure. So much so I did not care for the heroine until almost the end. I thought she was a giggly, spoiled, child regardless of her age. But her origins did become important to the story. Everything the hero suffered, he was willing to still suffer more. He took care of the heroine, got back all for his family before pursuing his own happiness, and got to the bottom of a 18 year old mystery. He also caught himself when realizing a lust for anything can change you for the worst, and it isn’t worth it. I loved the story! It was worth every moment of anxiety, excitement, happiness, and sadness. Worth your time to read!

Lady of Fire

A great book and as always perfectly heartfelt narration by Mary Sarah Agliotta! The start of the book is a little slow, especially in comparison to other works by Tamara Leigh. However, the later half of the book returns to a faster pace with an exciting and riveting ending. I give it 4 stars instead of five just for the slower start.
