Worth Any Price (Bow Street Runners, Book Three): Lisa Kleypas

“What is the price of love?

“Nick Gentry is reputed to be the most skillful lover in all England. Known for solving delicate situations, he is hired to seek out Miss Charlotte Howard. He believes his mission will be easily accomplished—but that was before he met the lady in question.

“For instead of a willful female, he discovers one in desperate circumstances, hiding from a man who would destroy her very soul. So Nick shockingly offers her a very different kind of proposition—one he has never offered before.

“He asks her to be his bride.

“And he knows that this will be much more than a union in name only. For he senses what Charlotte does not yet know—that her appetite for sensuality matches his own. But what Nick learns surprises him. For while London’s most notorious lover might claim Charlotte’s body, he quickly discovers it will take much more than passion to win her love.”

This was yet another wonderful book by Lisa Kleypas! I LOVED Nick and Lottie and—once more—I was struck by the author’s ability to bring back characters from the other books in the series and maintain their quirks and personalities.

I found myself smiling on so many occasions while reading this story! It was fantastically sweet and the characters were unbelievably real. This was the perfect conclusion to the Bow Street Runner series by Kleypas. She is an amazing writer who has a knack for making you care about her characters and believe that they suffer and go through these ordeals. I can’t wait to read another of her books, but I think I may have to make myself take a one-book-break from her reading because I have so many other books checked out from the library!
