5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent historical romance, 9 Sep 2002
By "ambersaxon696" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
"Lady Sophia's Lover" is the first book I've read by Lisa Kleypas. I liked it so much that I intend to read her other novels as well. The author's writing style is great and it keeps you reading and reading until you finish. The story is set in early 19th century England mostly in London. The plot is very original and very interesting. The main characters are unusual and the approach to romance is original.The leading characters are Lady Sophia Sydney, daughter and orphan of an impoverished noble family.She works as a housekeeper in order to survive.She is very attractive and she seeks new employment at Sir Ross Cannon's Bow Street public office.The leading male character is Sir Ross, the Head of the famous Bow Street Runners and one of the most eligible widowers in London. He is a ruggedly handsome, hard-working and bitter man who has lived his life in celibacy after his wife's untimely death. He feels immediately attracted to Sophia and he cannot comprehend why does she want to work at his office. Sophia has her own serious reasons for seducing Sir Ross and to make him suffer publicly and privately. She thinks that her young brother died because of him and she wants to revenge him.She is a passionate woman and she cannot help to feel deep attraction and later love for Sir Ross. She fights her feelings but her love is stronger than her wish for vengeance.
Sir Ross feels so attracted to Sophia that he cannot stay in a room with her without touching her. She is the first woman who makes him to forget his bitter mourning and to find happiness in her arms. The relationship of Ross and Sophia is very sensual, hot and full of passion. I was surperised by the tasteful love scenes and the passionate feelings which make the book exciting and hard to put down. Ms Kleypas has done a good research of the era and the Bow Street Runners. She describes her characters very well and makes them alive and approachable.
The story is action-packed and you finish reading the book in record time.
LADY SOPHIA'S LOVER is a fascinating story of love, passion, trust and understanding.It's interesting to follow how the main characters find the way to each other through their love.
I've enjoyed this beautiful romance very much and I highly recommend it to all historical romance lovers.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read!, 13 Jun 2002
By A Customer
This is continuing the series about The Bow Street Runners.
It's wonderfully written and the story and characthers flow beautifully from start to finish. The heroine Lady Sophia Sydney sets out to exact revenge on the Head of The Bow Street Runners Sir Ross Cannon. She holds him responible for the death of her brother John whilst on a convict ship to which he had sentenced him. Sir Ross is facinated by Sophie from the start but because of his tragic first marriage, he initally fights the attraction he feels for her. Sir Ross's eventual seduction of Lady Sophia made me envy her!

The love scenes are very steamy and add to the appeal of the book. The story is well researched, very engrossing and I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

This is classic Lisa Kleypas!

1.0 out of 5 stars in the bin, 15 Jan 2003
By A Customer
I had really enjoyed the Stephanie Laurens series in Avon historical romance and thought Lady Sophia's Lover would be of the same high quality. It was not. 50 pages was enough to make me say goodbye to my cash and throw this in the bin where it belongs. What a disappointment. The plot could have been serviceable but it was wholly historically inadequate and poorly written. Stephanie Laurens may have the odd historical error, but her characters are well formed and the events feel of the period. Lady Sophia's Lover was laughable, and the writing stile crass and grating. Disappointing.
