Summary: Solid 4 1/2 stars - Great story for Nick.
Review: I always am excited for a story to come out about a secondary character and wait all year for the book to come out. Most of the time I have such high expectations that by the time I read it - I feel let down. Not this one! Nick Gentry's story was great and Lottie was the perfect female character to be written for him. I read the book in a 24 hour period not being able to put it down!!! I need to go back now and read the rest of Lisa's books since this was on the second. My first was Lady Sophia's Lover.

Summary: Lisa Kleypas never fails
Review: We first meet Nick Gentry in "Lady Sophia's Lover" where he is a wanted criminal, but now and for the last three years he has worked for Sir Grant Morgan ("Someone To Watch Over Me")as a Bow Street Runner. Lord Radnor has hired Nick to find his fiancee Charlotte Howard who has been on the run for the past two years, but when Nick finds "Lottie", he wants her for himself. He gives Lottie the option of returning and marrying Lord Radnor or marrying him. Of course, Lottie chooses Nick and their relationship explodes into a very passionate romance that sets the pages on fire! This is the third book featuring the Bow Street Runners and I hated to see it end. Enjoy!

Summary: Lisa Kleypas does it again! Got to Love that Nick!
Review: This book is a trademark of Kleypas's writing. It is steamy, passsionate and has a hero that would make any woman tingle. He is also a character unlike any other. There is so much more to write about him but giving that away would ruin the book. Simply, he is not what he seems.
This is the sequel to Lady Sophia's Lover and if you read that book, you know what is in store.
This story is about Nick Gentry, brother of the heroine from Lady Sophia's Lover and former thief turned straight man, working for the Bow Runners.
Nick's latest job is to find Charlotte Howard, who is hiding from her fiance and family. She has been missing for two years because the though of marrying a man her parents' forced her to turns her stomach.
When Nick finds hers, he realizes she is the one for him and won't let her go. He must have her to redeem his soul, which he lost years ago. But first both must learn to trust each other and be willing to give and receive.
Nick is the main focus of this story and from the first page you will be amazed by him. There are so many secrets about him and he is a Kleypas trademark hero. He is brooding, alpha but with a touch of vulnerability. And Charlotte is his equal half that shows him what it is to love.
And the love scenes are STEAMY, HOT and too good for words.
This book shows what a true talent Kleypas is.
Also recommended along the same lines is Suddenly You and Lady Sophia's Lover. If steamy and passionate stories are your thing, pick up all three of these books.

Summary: Good, but...
Review: Nick Gentry is a Bow Street Runner who takes commissions on the side for extra money, but more to escape the dissatisfaction of his life. Nick accepts a commission from Lord Radnor to retrieve his runaway fiancee, Charlotte "Lottie" Howard. Lottie, two years earlier, had run away from her arranged marriage to Lord Radnor. Nick tracks Lottie down at the residence of the Earl of Westcliff where she is the companion to Westcliff's aging mother. Nick meets Lottie and soon learns that Radnor is essentially the "bad guy" and marries Lottie himself so that he can protect her from Radnor's clutches.I was a bit dissappointed with "Worth Any Price," because I found it to be a pale imitation of "Lady Sophia's Lover." Nick is the long lost brother of Sophia Sydney in "Lady Sophia's Lover" and in the previous book he was more dynamic. In this book he seems to be a bit watered down. Kleypas once again uses the "celibacy" angle in this book as she did in "Lady Sophia's Lover." Another aspect of the book that I found irritating is the fact that everyone seems to be reading each others minds. Questions are answered before they are even asked as the characters know exactly what their partners are thinking. Once or twice would have been alright, but it happens throughout the book. As with most of Kleypas' books, the sexual content is high and erotic. This really was the saving grace of this book. Without the spice it would have been completely flat and lifeless. I loved "Lady Sophia's Lover" and I found the emotional pull of the characters strongly. This book unfortunately tried a bit too hard for the same effect, but failed to really capture my emotional involvement. Lastly, the biggest problem I have with this book is the blurb on the back cover. It reads in part, "Nick Gentry is reputed to be the most skillful lover in all England." Now, I won't say what I really think about this "hook" as Amazon will not print my review, but I'll use a euphemism and call it "misleading." Nick does not have a reputation as "the greatest lover in all England." In point of fact, he has no reputation at all as any kind of lover as he has been intimate with only one other woman in his entire life before meeting Lottie. In closing, I would like to tell the publisher that it isn't necessary to use this kind of hook to lure the reader into buying books. In the end, all it's going to do is make us mad.

Summary: Third Bow Street Novel
Review: This book is wonderful as the third installment of Kleypas' Bow Street Trilogy. The first book was "Someone to Watch Over Me," and the second, which is actually the prequel to "Worth Any Price", is "Lady Sophia's Lover". Read in any order Lisa Kleypas once again take her audiences into a world of intrigue, adventure, and not to mention mind blowing romance.

Summary: Second Kleypas Novel i ever read
Review: After reading When Strangers Marry, I had to read another Kleypas novel. I went to the bookstore and got this one hoping it would be just as good. I was not dissapointed. Nick is one of the best hero's in a book that I've read, and I loved him from the beginning. I recommend this novel to everyone.

Summary: The book was a hit, (i hit my next door neighbor with it)
Review: For one thing it was so boring! i was really looking forward to this book, its as if the characted from the previous book is a completely different nick. I also thought it would have been cool, that instead of going to a prostitute to help him get over being raped as a child, he could have had the heroinne help him out, but thats just me. i couldnt get past a few chapters the hero was such a jerk and a loser...

Summary: A good one
Review: This was one of my first Kleypas books and I found the premise (Bow Street runner saves disreputable woman with more than gallantry on his mind) intriguing and worth sticking with. I also enjoyed learning a bit more about the famous Bow Street runners. Unlike some other writers, Kleypas is NOT always predictable. I recommend this one without hesitation.

Summary: Great love story, great hero, great sex
Review: The sequel to "Lady Sophia's Lover", "Worth Any Price" brings back Nick Gentry, which is certainly a wonderful premise for any novel! Gentry's character is roguish yet sweetly entertaining and Charlotte is a wonderful foil for him, a somewhat reserved girl who comes into her own while standing up for herself and the love she finds with her husband. I would definately recommend the book for any Kleypas fan, but not as a novel of introduction to the author.

Summary: Worth your time
Review: Dark and hard-edged Bow Street Runner Nick Gentry finally found his latest quarry, Charlotte Howard, runaway fiancee' of Lord Radnor. Gentry felt he knew everything about Charlotte, but when he finally saw her face to face, he understood why Lord Radnor is obssessed by the blond beauty. Nick understood too well, because he himself is determined to make her his wife. Faced with the horror of returning to Lord Radnor, Charlotte agreed to marry Nick Gentry in hopes that he is the lesser of the two evils. She was right in some ways, Nick proved to be a generous and caring husband, he also awakened her sensual nature. Their nights were filled with passionate, uninhibited lovemaking. But Charlotte feels that Nick is holding back his heart. Nick is haunted by his nightmarish past when he was a prisoner, he could not bring himself to confess to Charlotte the actual events that led to his freedom. And when a summons came for Nick to claim his rightful name and title, he could not explain to his wife why he would not give up his assumed name, for doing so might earn him not Charlotte's love but her repulsion. Another installment about the Bow Street Runners, "Worth Any Price" is a story of how love could triumph and thrive even in the darkest recesses of a man's heart. I really felt the struggle Nick is undergoing and I admire Charlotte for having the courage and strength to take on Nick's demons. This is a definite addition to my Lisa Kleypas book collection.
