Lady Sophia's Lover (Aventures Et Passions) (Bow Street, #2)

by Lisa Kleypas

[Angie]

Revenge! Lady Sophia's Lover brings another fun revenge plot from Lisa Kleypas. However, this time it's the woman who seeks vengeance. Sophia Sydney's brother was killed and she holds Ross Cannon responsible. Her plan: seduce him then rip his world apart. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, her plan falls through when she finds herself in love with Ross herself. Plus there's the added complication of a mysterious admirer. Sophia begins receiving expensive gifts, but does their provider mean her harm?

This one moves at a faster pace than the previous Bow Street Runners, which I was glad for. I'm sure I've said this before, but Kleypas' writing is so easy to get into, and is full of humor, wit, and sensuality. I just could not get enough of Sophia and Ross. The chemistry between them is sizzling, and they have a few close encounters that were quite hot. It was funny to watch the tables turn as Ross seduces Sophia instead. He's such a reserved man, and a workaholic with no time for fun and passion, but when he lets loose...woah!

The mystery plot wasn't that great, but it added some nice emotional scenes for Sophia and Ross. But their relationship was so steamy that nothing much else mattered! I'm beginning to think that cravats should come back in style....
