    I recently received a ARC copy of My Notorious Gentleman by Avon through Edelweiss. I can not say how much I enjoyed reading this one. If you have yet to read one of her stories, you are missing out...big time!! There is nothing I like better than sitting down, relaxing, and reading a romance from Gaelen Foley. Such remarkable talent and drama and intensity, its bound to captive you from the get go. My Notorious Gentleman is the sixth of the series, but I am not sure if its the last one, in fact I am thinking there might be a next installment considering it had a small bit of a cliffhanger. Only small enough that has me intrigued.Grace is a ministers daughter, and as such, she has a desire to help others. When she finds herself in London, helping a family friend from drinking and gambling his life away, she comes across Lord Trevor Montgomery, who has the mistaken impression that she is after him, and practically seduces her on a couch, and what is a woman to do except defend herself and attack him with a hair pin. Then later at the party her father introduces her to him, and now she has no idea what to think of him. But when her father encourages him to buy a piece of property that is right next door, she is appalled, that is the last thing that she needs, a man who is more tempting than anything she has ever encountered. Travis, has decided to retire fully from the War Office, he has dedicated his whole life to serving his country, and now he is ready for peace and contentment. When he goes to the countryside, and finds the perfect place, he is intrigued by Grace. She may be a pastor's daughter, but she is beautiful and has a heart of gold. Grace doesn't understand why Travis is so interested in her. But when life seems to spiral out of control, he is her rock and more than anything she desires to have him forever.A completely memorable story with fascinating characters that only end up capturing your heart. A heart warming and deeply riveting story of a tender and romantic love between this pair that warmed me up inside and out. I loved the setting of the story, and there was so much I enjoyed about this. It didn't have a whole ton of intense espionage drama like you are used to with this series. However it did have some suspenseful moments that will definitely get your attention. A remarkably written story, and this just might have to go on as top of the list of favorites from this author. An enriching and passionate love tale that is bound to stir up all kinds of emotions. A KEEPER!!

    I did enjoy this read. Miss Grace Kenwood is certain that she is never going to find a husband, she's over the age considered eligible, however when she meets Lord Trevor Montgomery, who is being chased by many of the eligible women in the Ton because of his association with The Inferno Club. However her quiet stillness attracts him. He's sure she's not prepared to deal with his issues and he's not sure he's ready for marriage, but he gets a chance to buy a house in her area and this decision will change both of their lives.It was light, fun and I enjoyed the read.

    I really enjoyed this book. Now that the war is over and the Order has been exposed, Trevor doesn't know what to do with the rest of his life. He was left by his fiancee when she believed he was dead, leaving him somewhat bitter and cynical about women. A chance encounter with Grace shows him a different kind of woman. He decides to purchase property near her home and enjoy some well earned peace and quiet.I really felt for Trevor. He's trying to adjust to civilian life and not having an easy time of it. Thanks to publicity about the activities of the Order, he finds himself pursued by women of all types and he's just not interested. While attempting to hide out, he stumbles across Grace who is doing the same thing. Thinking she is just another society "carnivore" he kisses her and is stunned when she sticks him with a hairpin and reads him the riot act. This sets her apart in his eyes and motivates him to buy property near her home in order to get to know her better.Grace is the local preacher's daughter, and at twenty-five considers herself a spinster. She is a genuinely good and kind person and spends her time helping the locals. Her brief encounter with Trevor opened her eyes to the woman inside her who really does want a man of her own. She has no confidence that he would actually be interested in her, especially with her beautiful friend Callie around. She does try to be a friend to him, sensing that he is just as lonely as she is.I really enjoyed the development of the romance between Trevor and Grace. He's something of a lost soul, feeling the weight of the things he had to do in service to his country. He doesn't think someone as good as Grace would be interested in a man who has done the things he has done. I liked the way that she made him want to be a better man. Her example showed him that hiding out on his property wasn't what he should do, but that he should get involved with helping the people of his new home. I loved the way he got an idea of what to do and ran with it. I enjoyed seeing the way that his example then motivated some of the more selfish people to get involved also. I loved that he was so obviously smitten by her from the beginning and had his eye only on her. Grace could have come out looking just too good to be true, but there was enough bad girl in her to keep her real. In spite of knowing she should resist, she really got into that first kiss before coming to her senses. She also has a couple of times when she really loses her temper with him and says some things that aren't necessarily nice even though they are true. She has some moments of jealousy that don't show her in the best light, but certainly make her more real. When she finally accepts that he really does want her it brings out the passionate woman inside her.There are always some humorous moments in Gaelen Foley's books and this was no exception. The welcome dinner that put Trevor in the hot seat was pretty fun to read as he tried to keep himself out of Callie's crosshairs without offending her mother. The scene where Grace uses the twins to rescue him once again from Callie was great.It wouldn't be an Inferno Club book without some danger, though it wasn't too intense in this one. Trevor ends up dealing with some London baddies who come to Thistleton to take revenge on a young man who tried to protect a prostitute. Trevor got to use his Order skills and Grace got a better idea of what his life had been like. In some foreshadowing of the next book Trevor makes peace with Nick, the Order member who had betrayed him in an earlier book. There is also mention of their murdered mentor's previously unknown family, with the idea that the two will be part of the next book. I am looking forward to reading it.

    With Nick in prison, Trevor now has to decide what to do with his life since his fiancée is marrying someone else. He decides to look at a home in a small village where the minister's daughter lives next door and is not afraid of him. She sees behind the façade he has erected. She has plans for him that do not match his but eventually he hopes her plans will coincide with his. I love the men of the Inferno Club. Trevor is more of a background guy but now he gets to shine. Grace is fun. She does not let his status as a hero keep her from giving him a tongue lashing if she believes he needs it. She sees behind his façade to the pain behind it. She also opens his eyes to what is happening around him. He does have problems getting Grace to see that she is perfect for him. Life in the country is not as quiet as he believed. With Grace around things happen. This is a perfect follow up in the series.
