Lady Sophia's Lover de Lisa Kleypas

Lady Sophia's Lover

Autor Lisa Kleypas
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 iun 2002

Considerăm că lectura în limba engleză a acestui volum păstrează acea cadență elegantă și senzualitate discretă a epocii victoriene pe care traducerile, oricât de fidele, riscă uneori să o simplifice. Lady Sophia's Lover nu este doar o poveste de dragoste, ci un joc psihologic de seducție și răzbunare. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Lisa Kleypas construiește premisa: Lady Sophia Sydney nu caută protecție, ci distrugere. Planul ei de a-l compromite pe Sir Ross Cannon, cel mai respectat magistrat din Londra, creează o tensiune narativă care depășește tiparele genului. Cititorul care a apreciat misterul și vulnerabilitatea personajelor feminine din Someone to Watch Over Me va găsi aici o protagonistă mult mai calculată și mai activă în propriul destin, dar într-un context în care vânătorul devine, treptat, pradă. Ritmul este susținut de dialoguri ascuțite, iar atmosfera din locuința lui Ross Cannon devine aproape palpabilă pe măsură ce barierele dintre cei doi se prăbușesc. Merită menționat că, spre deosebire de tonul mai ludic din Devil in Spring, această lucrare explorează zone mai întunecate ale regretului și ale onoarei, ancorând seria Bow Street Runners într-o realitate socială mai aspră, unde reputația este singura monedă de schimb care contează.

Descriere scurtă

“Kleypas is a romance gem, a queen among a vast royal court of historical romance authors.” —Entertainment Weekly
A stunning new reprint of 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.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Why is Lady Sophia looking for a lover?
And
could she seduce the most marriageable man in London?
Lady Sophia Sydney would do anything to ensnare the unattainable Sir Ross Cannon. Her goal—to ruin his reputation and cause a scandal that would be the talk of all London. So she insinuates herself into his life by gaining his trust and living in his house.
Every morning, her lush presence tempts him beyond all reason...the way she bends over the table to serve him the meals she has prepared...the way her hands oh, so gently—yet sensuously—brush against him. Every night, she promises with her eyes—and her body— that the hours before dawn could be spent in unbridled passion instead of restless sleep—if only he'd let her share his bed.
She knows he is falling more in love with her each day. But she never counted on falling in love with him. And she never dreamed he might very respectably ask for her hand in marriage...
Are you ready to be seduced by New York Times Bestselling author Lisa Kleypas and her most compelling love story yet?
