A classic Lisa Kleypas love story about a man whos decided to forgo all romantic entanglements... until he meets a beautiful woman with a secret...

They call him the Monk of Bow Street

Sir Ross Cannon, magistrate and head of the Bow Street Runners, has spent the past few years apprehending the most dangerous criminals in London. He’s driven and disciplined, a man to be feared. His personal needs have been set aside, his days and nights consumed by the determined pursuit of justice.

Until Lady Sophia Sydney, a beautiful young woman with a tarnished past, comes to ask for employment. Ross knows a woman like Sophia doesn’t belong in the rough-and-tumble world of Bow Street, but he gives in to temptation and hires her as his assistant. Day by day the attraction between them grows, until neither of them can ignore the power of their mutual desire.

But Sophia has a secret . . . and when Ross discovers the tragic link between their pasts, any chance of being with him will vanish. All they have are a few nights of pleasure, before Sophia will be forced to leave the man she’s fallen hopelessly in love with.

What she doesn’t count on is how much Ross is willing to risk for the sake of a woman who’s awakened his heart.

All for love

Great book. Loved all the characters.The story line had everything, revenge,love, loyalty and hope. Their love grew despite all the obstacles in their way.

Sir Ross’s faithfulness!

His faithfulness was very heart felt. It was gratifying to see that he was so loving and supportive even though she must have tried his patience severely.

sweet Story, male voice not great

First of all, I'm certain I've read this a long time ago. It was edited and re-released. It's still a good book.

The narrator's voice for Ross makes me envision an old British dude with gray mutton chops and a big belly. Not sexy at all. I know he has a serious demeanor, but he was supposed to carry that high level of responsibility, yet still be sexy and manly. I'd call her rendition of his voice "dusty", not "sexy".

It didn’t happen the way I thought it would

None of this story played out the way I thought it would from beginning to end. Another great listen from Kleypas.

Excellente!

Wow, never disappointed! I get lost in your stories. You can just imagine being there, seeing and experiencing the thrills of her stories!
