Rate this book
Lord Ernest Bannerman is soon to become the new Earl. On his father’s deathbed, he will find out that his dying wish is to marry the gossiping Lady Grace Bragg, extend the family line, and honour his name. Ernest wants nothing more than to uphold his father’s legacy, therefore he accepts this fate, until one night he finds his significant other into the flames. He will fight his every instinct to love her, trying to stay true to his promise. Will he eventually break his vow and escape from this love triangle, or he will be forced to spend a miserable life, for the sake of honour— for the sake of the dead?

Lady Diana Harrington is a woman of immense bravery, strong character, and stunning beauty. When she beholds the man who rescued her from the burning fire, she is fascinated, but soon the excitement fades when she finds out that he is to be married. Their attraction is strong like a magnet and the heroine cannot hide her desire for Ernest anymore. Will she find the strength to repress her feelings or will she surrender to their passionate love?

A story filled with passion, intrigue, dilemmas and tension that the readers will be unable to put down. Will the heroes follow the social rules and expectations? Will they choose to listen to their heart, or their head and moral commitments?

ONE AMAZING ROLLERCOASTER!!!
Wipe out! Emily lowers the boom, jacks the thrill and blazes the trail, riding roughshod, melding this jewel together fluidly. Wrapping the whole package with all the chaos, mayhem and shenanigans, propelling this little gem to life spectacularly. Mastering the ups and downs, weaving a cocoon so intricately and tight, drawing you deeper into this tangled web until nothing else exists. Sparks fly as drama, intrigue, distress, turmoil and suspense swirls, thrusting this baby into the eye of the storm, thrusting it into a tailspin with stunning results. The chemistry builds as each layer is peeled back exposing an undeniable bond and amplifying affections, launching this gem to a whole new level. The personalities are well matched and blended with just enough flaws for diversity. The characters and scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and colorful descriptions so rich and lively, they blend and flow magnificently. Remarkable job Emily, thanks for sharing this little jewel with us.

Lord Ernest Bannerman is a new Earl trying to honor his father's deathbed wish that he marry Lady Grace Bragg. He feels he has no choice but to honor his father and marry Lady Grace although she is a gossip and not very nice. She does not love him but loves the position she will have in society by marrying him.
He rescues Lady Diana Harrington from a fire and falls in love with her but is torn by his promise to his father to marry Lady Grace. Lady Diana is a strongwomen, beautiful and has a heart of gold. I absolutely loved the character of Lady Diana, and although I felt for the dilemma Lord Ernest faced he was not a strong enough character for me and at times I felt Lady Diana could do better. Lady Grace was a miserable person and I could not understand why Lord Ernest couldn't just follow his heart earlier. Eventually, he did the right thing and all ended well.
I have read many books by Emily Honeyfield, she writes beautiful characters that are easy to relate to and I look forward to reading more of her books.

I loved the overall story of three intertwined lives and how messed up it was. I enjoyed the characters. They had very realistic feelings and emotions. It did get on my nerves a bit how the hero, Ernest, was such a milksop. It took up most of the story for him to finally get a backbone and do something about his situation. Our heroine, Diana, was a great character. She was sensitive, loving, loyal, intelligent, witty and independent. Our villainess, Grace, was the quintessential selfish, self-serving, inconsiderate, two-faced princess. The author, Emily Honeyfield, knows how to write characters that can be easily related to. I thought using Ernest's fifteen-year-old sister, Rose, as the voice of reason was a smart and ingenious move. Of course, it ends with a happily ever after and the extended epilogue takes a peek into Diana and Ernest's future. I hope Ms. Honeyfield will write a follow-up on Rose. I think she deserves her own book. A good read. I do recommend.

BRILLIANT FIVE-STAR FOR THE STORYLINE

Earnest recently lost his father. (He has a young sister Rosie 15 years old) Earnest is now the New Earl, he is extremely insecure and is determined to do everything by the rules regardless of the cost too himself .On his deathbed his father reminded him that he must marry Lady Grace his best friends daughter ( A REALLY AWFUL NASTY WOMAN). A gossip never a nice thing to say.
Everything changed one night when on the way home from a ball he enters a burning home to rescue a young lady.

I loved the storyline was not sure about Earnest character found him a little annoying wanted to shame him very weak man.
Not sure about him referring to the workers on his estate as his subjects and how they looked up to him. also Grace and Earnest referring to each other as Darling in front of people at balls ect ! (Not sure if was the done thing in this period.

A Seductive Lady Rescued From Flames is a Fantastic Story with so many emotions swirl through you as you read this story by Emily Honeyfield! With a heart warming cast of characters who are believable and with wonderful secondary characters become very endearing as the story progresses. What a wicked web the evil fiance weaves bringing nothing bringing nothing but trials and tribulations to Ernest and Diana. Will Rose, Ernest's younger sister, be able to help Ernest and Diana find a happy ever after? It's a steamy romance with uncertainty, hope, drama, pain, insecurity, twist and turns, and with all they go through makes this a outstanding story that you won't want to miss. Remarkable emotions, and unforgettable characters.

Good story

While I enjoyed the premise of this story, I found myself tiring of it about a third of the way in. It just seemed to start to drag - Ernest doesn't want to marry Grace, Grace is a b****, Diane doesn't know how to help Ernest and on and on. I began skimming numerous chapters just to see how things eventually would right themselves. Again - great story idea, interesting characters, wonderful final two chapters. I really think this could have been a much shorter stronger story.

Slow

Slow read. Very repetitive.
*Some spoilers*

The hero of the story has no backbone. Week male who sleeps with the "love of his life." Yet never had to courage to leave an arranged marriage. Even in the end. He was not the one who broke it off. Very dissatisfied with this book.

Wonderful book

A captivating emotional and sensual read. Ernest and Diana's chemistry was beautiful. There was plenty of drama and tension as Ernest struggled with the idea of marrying the obnoxious Lady Grace. I couldn't put this down. Lovely.

Rose is so feisty. Grace is so nasty.....the evil one you love to hate! Ernest feels so wishy-washy but you have to love him. Diana is amazing! These characters stole my heart. An excellent story about human characters and their personalities.

An Earl Who Fell In Love With A Lady

Earnest was going to marry Grace, because he promised his dying father and he felt obligated to. But then someone else comes into his life and everything changes. So read and see what happens.

The hero really needed to get a backbone to stand up to the terrible woman he was engaged to. The young lady he had rescued from a fire was the complete opposite.

Interesting But...

Emily Honeyfield has written an interesting story in "A Seductive Lady Rescued From Flames." Of her two main characters I liked Dianah best. She was an admirable woman. She had a good sense of self, was courageous and remained honest to herself and those around her. Ernest, however, was not as admirable. He was physically courageous but not morally. He dawdled forever with a simple problem. While I sympathize with his attempt to keep promises, I believe he harmed himself and Dianah with his indecisiveness. I think it made him look immature and cowardly. Maybe that is a bit harsh, but Ms. Honeyfield usually does not let her heroes dither so long.

Step up Ernest!!

Boy, I was really getting annoyed when Ernest kept dithering... I did enjoy the book quite a bit. Strong characters, angst and plenty of romance. I’m so glad Grace got who she deserved!!
