Summary: Mistaken Identity Results In Surprisingly Steamy Love!
Comment: This is another Bow Street Runner novel from Lisa Kleypas. Like the wonderful "Lady Sophia's Lover," and the unbeatable "Worth Any Price," (I'm an unabashed Lisa Kleypas fan...can you tell??), this story features realistic characters from mid-1800's England's burgeoning middle class, and not the usual nobility of the "haute ton." Number 4 Bow Street is the headquarters for the relatively new force of organized police/dectectives, who keeps law and order in London.
Grant Morgan, one of the Bow Street leaders, has made his fortune and fame recovering stolen property for banks, serving as personal guard to the monarchy, and locating abducted heiresses. He is one of London's most eligible and unattainable men. One night he is called to a ferry dock along the Thames to investigate a drowning. The victim turns out to be quite beautiful and alive. Mr. Morgan recognizes and identifies her as Vivian Duvall, a famous courtesan who defamed him some months before. He brings her to his home to recover. Noticing bruises on her neck, Morgan realizes that someone had attempted to murder Vivian. She, however, has amnesia and can remember nothing of her past, neither her own name nor her profession, which seems to disgust her. Morgan is hot on the case of the murderer's identity and motive - and he's hot on Ms. Duvall's case also. He has lusted for her since the moment he met her, and wants to bed her, keep her for a while, and also to exact some revenge for her past scandal mongering.
But Vivian does not live up to her reputation on the one hand, and proves to be much better than expected on the other. Slowly, the secrets of her past emerge, as does the mutual attraction between Vivian and Grant. The mystery is not difficult to figure out, and the plot is undemanding, to say the least. However Ms. Kleypas weaves a story like no on else and her characters, with their sizzling chemistry, keep your eyes riveted to the page.
Lisa Kleypas novels are as addictive as good chocolate - but not fattening. They are super rich, delicious, and you won't put on a pound. Try one! You're in for a treat.

Summary: Another keeper
Comment: I can add one more to my list of favorites by Lisa Kleypas. This lady REALLY knows how to write a good love story! The story was very interesting, the characters believable, the hero & heroine intelligent & good to each other, the villan really nasty, & LK always wraps everything up really well. I won't say that it tops a couple of LK's other books, but it's still a five star read for die-hard historical romance readers like myself. As with all LK historicals I enjoyed the fact that although there was the 'big misunderstanding' to work thru, the main characters didn't act like complete jerks over it; Also, although the heroine seems to be somewhat naive, she didn't do stupid stuff just to prove that she could. In other words, I like some intelligence in my characters - LK always, always gives me that. Another constant in LK's writing is new plots & stories that keep moving; I don't have to read paragraph after paragraph after paragraph about what the main characters are thinking & feeling about each other - LK held true to that in this book also. Also, another thing that has never disappointed me in LK books is the very, very sweet sensuality; although they are quite hot - they are some of the sweetest scenes I've ever read in historicals. As usual, I can't wait to read my next LK book!

Summary: Great! A Must Read
Comment: This book was great! I loved it. I've read almost all of Lisa Kleypas's novels, and this one is one of the best.
After well-known courtesean Vivian Duvall spreads rumors about Grant Morgan, he vows revenge. Never did he realize his chance would come so quickly. Bow Street Runner Grant Morgan is called to the docks to see a drowning victim, only to discover the victim is Vivian Duvall, and she is very much alive. Upon further investigation, Grant discovers someone was attempting to murder Vivian, unsucessfully. What's Grant to do, but bring her to his own home to protect her.
When Vivian wakes up, she realizes she not only knows her name, but she also can't believe that she was a prostitute. Grant uses this against her and informs her that they had an "arrangement."
Throughout the next few weeks Grant and Vivian work together to find who tried to murder her, and they also fall in love along the way.
Overall this was a great book. I started reading this book Wednesday afternoon and by midnight I was 3/4 of the way through. Unfortunately, 5 a.m. comes early, especially when I'm dreaming about the characters in my latest book.
