PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Like a bottle of champagne, Kleypas's Victorian-era romance opens with gusto, but the deeper tastes of this delightful story are what make it a truly magical experience. Although former criminal and current Bow Street Runner Nick Gentry has spent three years tempting fate and hunting down many types of lawbreakers, he knows that his life is about to change when he spots wayward Lottie Howard, the runaway fianc e of an overbearing lord. Nick was hired by Lord Radnor to track Lottie down but, upon meeting her, he realizes that he wants her for himself. Faced with the prospect of returning to her much older betrothed or marrying a notorious Runner whose kisses make her heart pound, Lottie hardly hesitates to accept Nick's proposal, despite his dark past. But even as Nick woos her into his bed, his reluctance to open his heart holds her at bay. The narrative's high sensuality quotient, strong sense of place and full-bodied characters make it a worthy follow-up to Kleypas's previous book, Lady Sophia's Lover, and the appearance of the protagonists from that novel will please fans. With this spicy, seamless story, Kleypas reaffirms her place as one of the foremost writers in the historical romance arena.
Customer Reviews
A good read!
While not the best of the best of Lisa Kleypas, this is still everything you would expect from her: creative and engaging plot and two main characters you can fall in love with. It does not disappoint!
The best!
This is one of the best books I have ever read. And at 75 I have read allot of books! The story had everything but most of all romance and by that I mean hot sex. And not just cookie cutter sex, but real sex. Very enjoyable.
Great author.
I just can’t say enough about Lisa Kleypas. She is such a wonderful story teller! This has been a fantastic series. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good romance.
