I loved this book. Charlotte was a sheltered kept woman who was "purchased" as a child. The man who finally found this runnaway woman turns out to be her champion.

another great book by klepas. I really enjoyed the male lead in this one, i thought the female lead was not as strong. This is the sequel to Lady Sophia's lover--Sophia's brother Nick Gentry.

First Sentence:
As was his long-standing habit, Nick entered Gemma's private suite without knocking.
Sequel to: Lady Sophia's Lover

I sometimes get impatient with the whole "I can't be happy because of my tortured past" plot, and in this novel it applies to both the main charaters. That being said, Nick and Lottie are both likeable characters, the romance was steamy, and it was nice to see Ross and Sophia again!

the sequel to Lady Sophia. I liked this book better than Sophia. I thought both characters were well drawn, and Nick's internal battles were very interesting and realistic. A very good book by an author I love.

This was a RITA award winner. (Personally, I never found it so great--I detest characters with pet nicknames--Lottie? Give me a break.)

Lisa Kleypas is one of those authors that I sometimes really enjoy and sometimes I don't ... this book was one of her better efforts, in my opinion.

Lisa Kleypas writes tortured/tormented men like no other author. Maybe it is a fantasy of all women to be love a man to health and happiness and Nick Gentry is certainly a damaged man who needs help. This man is damned and damaged. His character (and lack thereof) is well established in Lady Sophia's Lover but you don't have to start there to enjoy this story. I liked the other books but this was by far the best of the Bow Street series. It would be fine on its own.

I was really anticipating reading Book 3 of the Bow Street Runners series. The previous two had good story lines, although somewhat convoluted, and the two main characters had "chemistry".
Unfortunately, "Worth Any Price" had the most convoluted story line (a carryover from Book 2)and the "chemistry" amounted to numerous sex scenes (some of which seemed to be added on a whim and didn't advance the story a bit).
I am disappointed by this author because she has done much better.

Lisa Kleypas's novels are always a treat. The characters are believable and entertaining. You want them to succeed--especially when they are such dark, complicated characters as Nick Gentry (the main male in this story). Definitley a must if you like regency romance.

This book was one of Kleypas's more emotionally gripping stories(as opposed to the Wallflowers, which are lighter and more humorous) and plenty of hot love scenes! I enjoyed it very much.

A long-term criminal become Bow Street Runner falls in love with the runaway bride he was looking for. A little frustrated at how many hang-ups the hero and heroine have but other than that a quick, fun read. The hero, Nick Gentry, is the brother of Lady Sophia from the author's "Lady Sophia's Lover" book.

Bow Street runner Nick Gentry is a complex man with a dark and tortured history, and beautiful Charlotte Howard is a woman running from her past. Neither Nick or Charlotte are wholly what they seem, for each have secrets too painful to reveal, and each has chosen to hide behind a false identity. Once theyre drawn into each others worlds, theyre forced to face difficult truths and are compelled to acknowledge the passion that burns between them. For Charlotte, "the challenge of taming him, matching his powerful will with her own, was too tempting to resist." For Nick, "if he could not have her, this endless feeling of being hungry, unsatisfied, cold, would never leave him." But will their love be enough to defeat the obsessed nobleman who covets Charlotte and the thirst for danger that tempts Nick, or is their future together doomed by the pain of their past?

New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas has another winner on her hands with this follow-up to Lady Sophias Lover. Fans and new readers alike will love the fast-paced plot, compelling characters, high-octane sensuality, and the well-drawn English setting

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.
