Synopsis:

The Inferno Club: In public, this scandalous society of London aristocrats is notorious for pursuing all manner of debauchery. But in private, they are warriors who would do anything to protect king and country . . .

Once, she had vowed to marry the Earl of Falconridge. Now, she vows to forget him. After he abandoned her for a life shrouded in secrets, Mara, Lady Pierson, has succeeded in keeping him away, until he appears in London unexpectedly, making her fall in love all over again.

Forced back into Mara's life by duty, the earl quickly stays for love. He has never forgotten this passionate beauty and never meant to break her heart. But their new found happiness is endangered—because the Inferno Club demands much of its members, and his vital mission is exposing a deadly plot that could threaten their very lives . .

My Thoughts:

I picked up this book without reading the first two in the series.  Gaelen Foley did an excellent job with his story.  It could easily be a standalone, which I always find a bonus!  I will be picking up the other two though!

I found this story intriguing!  How love, mystery, secret missions and passion can all be melded into one fabulous story.  Once, many years ago; these two characters loved each other.  They parted ways because of duty. 

Now after the loss of her husband Mara decides to take her life into her own hands and not let anyone (especially a husband) take that from her.  She vows to never let anyone control her again.  While at an auction, she finds herself staring at the man she wanted to forget - the Earl of Falconridge!  Jordan sweeps back into her life and her heart! 

I loved the chemistry and relationship between Mara and Jordan.  He was protective and thoughtful; with a shadowy past he keeps to himself.  Sadly, this comes between them!  Mara keeps Jordan on his toes!  He rescues her from a vicious mob, and helps (unwittingly) helps him insinuate himself into the Prince Regent's circle - part of his mission!

Anyone who enjoys historical romance will love this story.  This author will definitely be added to my auto-buy list!

Book Tour: Bring Me Back by Karen Booth

I’m Karen, a Midwestern girl transplanted in the South, raised on 80s music, Judy Blume, and the films of John Hughes.

Much of my writing revolves around the world of backstage passes and band dynamics. My first full-length novel, “Bring Me Back”, is a story I had in my head for nearly eight years before my fingers hit the keyboard. Sleeping and eating quickly became a luxury, a plan I have since dubbed the Writer’s Diet. I channeled teenage memories of plastering my walls with posters to weave the tale of music journalist, Claire Abby, and the dreamy British rock-star crush of her youth, Christopher Penman. “Bring Me Back” is a work of women’s fiction, published by Turquoise Morning Press. When I’m not creating fictional musicians, I’m listening to everything from old-school Cheap Trick to Duran Duran to Superchunk with my kids, honing my Southern
