Editorial Review:
Celebrated storyteller Gaelen Foley brings her craft to new heights with Devil Takes a Bride, the seductive tale of a man bent on revenge and the beauty who teaches him to love again. . . .In the quiet English countryside, far from the intrigues of London, Lizzie Carlisle slowly mends her broken heart, devoting herself to her new position as lady’s companion to the Dowager Viscountess Strathmore— until her peaceful life is turned upside down by a visit from “Devil” Strathmore, the old woman’s untamed nephew—a dangerously handsome man whose wicked reputation hides a tortured soul.Devlin Kimball, Lord Strathmore, has spent years adventuring on the high seas, struggling to make his peace with the tragedy that claimed the lives of his family. But now he has uncovered the dark truth behind the so-called accident and swears retribution. He has no intention of taking a bride—until his eccentric aunt’s will forces he and Lizzie together, and Devlin finds his path to vengeance blocked by the stubborn but oh-so-tempting Miss Carlisle. Her passionate nature rivals his own. But disillusioned once by love, Lizzie will accept nothing less than his true devotion. . . .

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Nice romance despite less than stellar plot
***spoilers*** This is my second book by this author and I must say that I'm still intrigued enough to read more by her despite severe plot issues. What makes Foley readable is her ability to write fluid romantic prose and even intriguing characters, but when it comes to believable plots...something is not quite connecting. The opening scene literally had me frowning and scratching my head. And no matter how many times Devil explained how he was able to track the fire down to this group-it still ... Read More
Rating:  - Ok as a library book, but I don't recommend buying it.
There was nothing special about it. Nothing surprised or delighted me. If readers liked the other books in the series, then they might enjoy it. It was a nice story with nice characters but too predictable. In 1805, bad guys locked people inside an inn and burned it causing the deaths of Devlin's family. Twelve years later he goes undercover, pretending to be like the bad guys, drinking, gambling, etc. He wants to learn who killed his family and get revenge. Meanwhile he meets Lizzie. She thinks ...

Rating:  - One of the best in the Knight series
This is my second time reading Devil Takes a Bride, but you'd think it was my first. Not because I couldn't remember what happened, but because I couldn't put it down! I mean, for the last couple of nights, I rushed home from work, abandoned all housework (not that that was a huge sacrifice, mind you), and read. So absorbed was I with this love story that I was practically on the edge of my seat. I laughed, gasped, teared up, cried. Many times, I just stopped, set the book aside for a moment, and sighed. ...

Rating: - A Woman With Substance!!!!!
I have been slowly but surely working my way through the "Knight Miscellany" series, and it just so happens that I enjoyed the books in the same order they were written with the Duke being my favorite, Lord of Fire my second favorite so on and so forth...that is until this one.
I have to be honest, I was beginning to question Gaelen Foley after her last installment (Lady of Desire) which I did not care for at all, but boy did she redeem herself with this one! What makes this book for me is ... Read More
Rating: - Think thrilling, licentious thoughts.
Stop. Quiver. Sigh. Pant. Think thrilling, licentious thoughts. Now you're in the right mood! Yet another untamed, tortured hero is here: Devlin (Devil) Kimball, Lord Strathmore. His parents and sister were murdered when he was seventeen, trapped inside a burning inn on their way to see him at school. The fire was deliberately lit and all the doors and windows callously locked from the outside. Imagine his grief when his last beloved relative - his aunt - is apparently on death's door. Or so his aunt's companion ... Read More
