Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Against the grit and glamour of London's crime-fighting Bow Street operation, Kleypas weaves an exceptional early-Victorian-era romance that is driven by much more than mere sexual attraction and sizzling loves scenes (of which there are plenty here). Political, social and familial conflicts heat up this story, and not all of the resolutions come easily. Ever since her younger brother died in prison, Sophia Sydney has had one goal in mindto find the magistrate who sent her brother to prison, worm her way into his office and his heart and then destroy him both politically and emotionally. Handsome Ross Cannon, London's most powerful and irreproachable magistrate, is not the hard-hearted devil she had expected, however. Known as the Monk of Bow Street for his celibacy following his wife's death, Ross is fair and forgiving, which Sophia soon learns when she takes up a position as his office clerk and housekeeper. The chemistry between the pair is palpable, but several obstacles stand in the way of their happiness, not the least of which is the shadow of Sophia's brother. With the exception of Sophia, who is given to histrionics, Kleypas's characters are well drawn and refreshingly levelheaded. Even her villain, a famed thieftaker, displays surprising dimensions. Through deft plotting and simple yet stylish prose, Kleypas distinguishes herself as a master of her craft.

Sir Ross Cannon...Ooooh Baby!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lady Sophia's Lover (Mass Market Paperback)
This guy is the epitome of maleness. He is tall, dark, handsome, and seasoned. He is a mysterious, brooding, workaholic who rarely expresses pleasure with anything. The "Monk of Bow Street." Until Sophia shows up, of course. I love both of these characters. Sir Ross is a total hottie who comes completely unglued in these love scenes. He loses his reserve and control and is a total animal. I love it! And Sophia gets over a past troubling relationship by learning she can trust a man. She makes such a positive influence in his life...it's hard not to love her. This book is a great prequel to the book about Nick Gentry and his ladylove. Nick is also a great character... I highly recommend this book. I love Lisa Kleypas' easy writing style and great characters. Do read this keeper!
