“Why is Lady Sophia looking for a lover? And could she seduce the most marriageable man in London?“Lady Sophia Sydney would do anything to ensnare the unattainable Sir Ross Cannon. Her goal—to ruin his reputation and cause a scandal that would be the talk of all London. So she insinuates herself into his life by gaining his trust and living in his house.
“Every morning, her lush presence tempts him beyond all reason…the way she bends over the table to serve him the meals she has prepared…the way her hands oh, so gently—yet sensuously—brush against him. Every night, she promises with her eyes—and her body—that the hours before dawn could be spent in unbridled passion instead of restless sleep—if only he’d let her share his bed.
“She knows he is falling more in love with her each day. But she never counted on falling in love with him. And she never dreamed he might very respectably ask for her hand in marriage…”
Lisa Kleypas has once again impressed me! I really loved this book! It was a very sweet story with many plot turns that developed the characters thoroughly. (I was really nice to have characters from her first novel brought back—like Sir Grant Morgan, Victoria, and Dr. Linley. You can tell a lot about an author by their ability to incorporate characters’ personalities from pervious books from a series.) I very much enjoyed how much more in depth the readers got to see into Sir Ross Cannon’s character. Sophia was a perfect match for him with her persistent ways and wily charm.
The background for this plot was both captivating and readable. So often authors make fantastic plots and then you go back to think about it and go, “Wow, that actually has zero possibility of occurring in the real world,” but Lisa Kleypas certainly didn’t disappoint!
