Would recommend Suzanne Robinson's book, "Lady Hellfire," as a fun, entertaining, intriguing Historical Romance. Robinson composed a well-written story that drew readers deeply into lives of the characters. {1} Alexis, the magically sensual, hunky hero whose past was riddled with painful memories. {2} Kate, the self-confident, unladylike, driven businesswoman forced to visit England. {3} Juliana, the mother who hated her son. {4} Fulke, the stiff-necked, lecturing cousin who raised Alexis. {5} Hannah, Fulke's ubër-I'm-A-Lady wife. {6} Valentine, Alexis's wounded, loyal best friend and confidant. {7} Ophelia, Kate's selfish, Alexis-chasing cousin. {8} Sophia, Kate's more ladylike than sensible mother. {9} Carolina, Alexis' mistress. {10} The Earl of Cardigan, the fool of a commander responsible for the fiasco at Balaclava.
