The Curse of Lord Stanstead

The Curse of Lord Stanstead

Mia Marlowe2015
London, 1819. Wherever Cassandra Darkin goes, fire is sure to follow. It's not until she's swept into the arms of a handsome, infuriating stranger that she learns she's responsible for the fires. As it turns out, Cassandra is a fire mage...and with her gift comes a blazing desire for sins of the flesh. With his pretenatural ability to influence the thoughts of others, Garrett Sterling is sent to gather Cassandra for the Order of the M.U.SE. He's entirely unprepared for his immediate attraction to the comely little firestarter. But it's an attraction that he must quell, even as his body craves her touch and her fiery, sensual hunger. For Garrett's gift has a dark side...and the moment he begins to care too much for Cassandra, he knows he will doom her to an inescapable fate. The Order of the M.U.S.E. series is best enjoyed in order. Reading Order: Book #1 The Curse of Lord Stanstead Book #2 The Madness of Lord Westfall Book #3 The Lost Soul of Lord Badewyn

This is the second time I've read this and I honestly remembered nothing from the first time. I actually began to question if I'd really read it or if I'd DNFed and just marked it as read. Surprisingly the very end of the book did ring bells for me so it just didn't make much of an impact obviously. I was in the mood for something fantasy based but maybe a bit more historical and I she's been on a quest to read more books on my Kindle and clear the shelves so figured I'd start the series again. I'm glad I did because the series has been quite easy to race through. The books are quick and the plot doesn't linger for too long and drag. The characters are fun. But I'll never claim the series as a favourite. The characters began to annoy me just a touch towards the end. But maybe that was more me getting a bit bored of reading. I just wanted to shake them for being so ridiculous. And the ending just felt so convenient but I suppose I like that each book is its own standalone story because my brain couldn't commit to a long series right now.
