A Good Story by a Good Writer

Once again Lisa Klaypas has entertained with this second in the Bow Street Runners Series. I don't think I would have enjoyed this one quite as much, had I not read the first book in the series. I had read all five of the Hathaway Family series first and these books all follow each other to some extent, but each one can stand alone, though not as enjoyable as in order. Since it is a romatic historical, I don't know that men would enjoy this as much as women. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good story line.

Awesome!

Stayed up most of the night to finish this!

Great read

Loved it

This story proves that love can conquer over all

Good Romance!

I just finished this book, Lady Sophia's lover,and I loved it! I have read many books by this author and I prefer her historical romance over other authors in the same genre. This book was nice because it didnt take forever for the couple to get it together and get together. Some other romance stories get alittle annoying toward the end because it takes forever for the woman to give in. This book was not like that, it took a reasonable amount of time for them to get together and the rest of the book goes into their life together as a couple. I liked it alot! if you like romance, especially Lisa Kleypas, you'll love this one! Its not quite the Wallflower Series, but nothing else is.

My mom loved it!

My mom and I love romance stories, and she especially likes Victoria Alexander, Stephanie Laurens, and this author, whom she would highly reccommend! She read the book quickly, and told me that she enjoyed it!

An Amazingly Awe Worthy Read

This book was more than I imagined. Many who read this novel will realize that Sophia is a character that one can relate too. She gets caught in horrible dilemma's and makes the wrong choice, thinking it the only one that can be safe. Now most people expect the male character to be beastly and lash out when lied to, but our leading man most definitely is not. He shows the kindness and forgiveness one would not place on his character. I truly enjoyed this action packed piece and suggest it to all.

Could not stop reading

I read this book because my spanish soap finished. I wanted to enjoy something else now. I did not like to read but this book got me hooked big time. I read it in one day. I plan to read all of Lisa Kleypas books now.

Sir Ross makes this one 5 stars...

I would rate the story 4 stars because it was tedious at times. Sophia was lovely, although I failed to see exactly what it was about her that made Ross fall that deeply in love with her. However, being that he was, I have to say Sophia was fortunate to be loved that deeply and completely. Ross was everything a woman could want in a man. He was handsome, intelligent, charming, loyal, romantic and very passionate. There are better books out there, of course, but out of all the romance novels, L.K. must be credited with making Sir Ross one of the best all-around heros ever. This author's love scenes were a little over the top, though. I found it difficult to look at L.K's picture in the back of the book without blushing! I couldn't look her in the eye! It's almost as if one knows what goes on in HER bedroom! Also, I liked Nick Gentry from the start!

THIS BOOK IS FANTABULOUS!

I am really hard on books anyone who has read some of my reviews knows that. I didn't think this book would be that great but after reading it how wrong I was. This was the most intriguing book i've ever read. It has so much deapth. Never have I read a book where the heroine wants to take down the hero. There is so much love and devotion in this book that it utterly compelling. This will not be the last Kleypas book I read. BOTTOM LINE: If you haven't read this book, READ IT now!

This was a good book.

Ok I got this book on my lunch hour and by 8pm, that evening I was finished. So that should tell you how wonderful this book was. I was afraid it was going to be a little wack in the begining, because of how easily attracted to her he was. But considering how he was celibate I understand. I also like the fact that the sex was not rushed right into. And the fact the heroine upon realizing she was wrong about him quickly abandoned her scheme. And most of all I love the fact that Nick is getting his own story in Worth Any Price. I would like for Morgan to have his own story as well. All in all a good book. Nice reading.

LOVED IT!!!!!!

I'm a Big Fan of Ms. Lisa's work, I'm a Beginner in reading (about a year) so she's my frist favorite Auther!!! You know, the one auther you get ALL the books she's ( or He?) ever written. Her work has become a comfortable nest for me, I know it'll be wonderful ( like all of her stories ) and it'll be what I like. Now I've read all her books, I'm left wondering what to read now? Finding a good book or even a good auther is hard! (plus lots of money, man!) Besides, What next book will satisfy all my longings like Ms.Lisa's love stories?

;)

I really liked this book. I thought it would be a silly romance novel, but it was very intruiging and I liked how doors opened along the way. The ending was not the best, but it didn't ruin the book. I think Ross was not the kind of person that he was described as...he was thought out in my mind as someone who is not him, you know, he was too perfect in the book and in my mind he was not. Anyways, this book was great and I am a fan of the author, so I liked it.

I LOVED IT!!!!!!

This was also my first Lisa Kleypas book, I thought it was wonderful. Finally a book that did not have all of the junk that the man and woman have misunderstandings that keep them apart. I believe this is the first book out of at least 150 books I have read that, that did not happen once. Plus the love scene were like I have never read either. Talk about steamy

Not her best work

I've read all of Lisa K's books, as I'm a fan. This is not her best work; I was dissapointed. While I do like a steamy book, this one seems a tad overboard and contrived and reads more like something from a gentleman's magazine than a romance novel. Sadly, the story is hard to believe and the ending is very silly. The good news is that I was able to finish the whole book, which isn't true about every romance that I read. If you're new to Lisa K, then don't read this book first; it's not a good example of her work.

Very Well Written!

This is the first book I've read by Lisa and I loved it!

powerful early Victorian romance

Bow St. Chief Sir Ross Cannon hides behind his desk to conceal his erection caused by the visit of Sophia Sydney. He pats himself on the back for holding a rationale conversation with Sophia though his hormones rage out of control. Sophia has applied for the Bow St. assistant clerking job, but Ross says no as the position is male only. He offers her a housekeeping position, but Sydney says both or none. Ross known as a monk for his celibacy allows his desires to decide and agrees to a one month trial.

Sydney blames the death of her younger brother on Ross, the magistrate who sent him to die in prison. However, the cold hearted villain with no room for compassion inside the law is not what Ross is. She realizes he is a kind individual who tempers justice and the law. As they fall in love, her deceased brother casts a specter on any permanent relationship between them.

Lady Sophia¿s Lover is a powerful early Victorian romance that provides a deep descriptive panorama of the era. The story line contains erotic scenes that are deftly written in as part of the fast-paced plot and not used to shock the audience. Ross is a great protagonist filled with passion and courage, but Sydney acts out of character at times as she occasionally seems weak for someone so brave. The rest of the cast is three dimensional and their roles propel the powerful plot. Lisa Kleypas provides a wonderful novel that will return the author to all the best selling lists.
