The Lady Risks All is an exciting mystery, one filled with
enough twists and turns to keep me wondering who the villain is right
‘til the very end. It's also a lovely, historical romance, that was
sweet, passionate, and very sensual.
Neville Roscoe, notorious and enigmatic, lives resolutely outside society, bound only by his own code of honor - until challenged by his desire for the one woman he cannot have.
Miranda Clifford is a lady imprisoned by rigid respectability - until tempted by a passion beyond her power to deny.
Flung together in peril, through danger and intrigue, they discover a love impossible to ignore ... or keep.
This story is my first taste of Stephanie Laurens’ writing and, despite
some minor flaws, I was quite pleased! Her way of telling a story is
sweet and flowing… full of emotion and, as I said, sensuality. The
characters, Miranda and Neville, are such complex people that I couldn’t
help but fall hard for them both and hope to see them attain the happily ever after
they so rightfully deserved. In this colorful world Ms. Laurens has
created we are given a glimpse of both the shady and the sophisticated
side of life in historical England, a world I look forward to visiting
again, one day soon.
My thanks to HarperCollins/Avon Publishing for providing me with an ecopy of this book for review.
