Worth Any Price New York Times Bestseller

Starred Review:
What Publishers Weekly said about Worth Any Price:

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. (Jan. 28) Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information

Review:

I love Lisa Klepas' books I have almost everyone, but this one is my favourite Nick Gentry is portrayed as a hard unable to care man with a seedy nature to visit a brothel which is were he gets the knowlegde to become a good lover. When he is sent to find the lovely Charlotte he has nothing in mind but to take her back to radnor and be done. But sparks fly as she enchants him with her fiery ways and he soon becomes etranced by her and getting feelings he long thought he would never have. Soon klepas makes nicks character grow before your eyes as you watch him learn to love and like no other and defend his new wife and love her with all his heart. It is a very romantic book and one I would recomend to anyone as Charlottes strong nature brings the best out of Nick and how he defends and protects her when lord radnor kidnaps her and trys to torture his only ever love. Its a truely remarkable books as is all kleypas but this one will hook you as it did me I am sure! ENJOY!
