My Thoughts
Worth Any Price is the third and final installment in the Bow Street Runners series that Lisa Kleypas has created. Worth Any Price is Nick Gentry story, and after seeing him previously, I have definitely been looking forward to reading his story. Nick is a special hero, and one that is close to my heart, and one of my favorite characters that this author has created. He is a haunted and dangerous man, but there is a appeal about him, where you just want to comfort the man, for he has gone through many hardships throughout his life. Worth Any Price is a charming story about two people who deserve love and happiness having never been able to find it for themselves, but together will find the most exquisite pleasure and joy. From the first page I was drawn into the story and could hardly put it down and is captivating to the bone……I LOVED it!!!

My Favorite Quote
“You’ll find life far more enjoyable as my wife,” Gentry Continued ” You won’t be anyone’s servant. You can do as you please within reasonable limits. And you won’t have to fear Lord Radnor any longer. ”
“All for the price of sleeping with you,” She muttered. He smiled, all velvety arrogance, as he replied, “You may come to enjoy that part of it most of all.”
