Description

Someone to Watch Over Me is a classic tale from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas.

In this Regency romance, Kleypas, the author of Seduce Me at Sunrise, tells the story of a scandalous beauty with no memory of who she is and the man determined to unravel the secrets of her past.

The novel pairs a celebrated Bow Street Runner with a woman pulled from the river, tracing their fragile alliance through a city thick with fog and secrets. Kleypas moves the search from the muddy causeway at Waterloo Bridge to Bow Street, unearthing clues that point to betrayal.

London provides the backdrop as the detective shelters his guest in his Bedford Street home, piecing together her forgotten life. The story draws these strangers together, setting their growing devotion against a ruthless adversary watching their every move.

Forced Proximity: Convalescing in Grant’s home under the care of his housekeeper, Mrs. Buttons, she finds solace in the quiet evenings they spend sharing books beside the hearth.
Suspense Romance: As the detective pieces together how she ended up in the freezing Thames, he must shield her from a brutal strangler determined to silence her forever.
Historical Romance: A working-class investigator who began his youth in Billingsgate market navigates the treacherous upper echelons of Mayfair, where powerful aristocrats conceal dark deeds.
Slow Burn: Bound by an oath to protect his vulnerable guest without taking advantage of her helplessness, Grant struggles to resist an all-consuming passion that defies his iron self-control.
Also by This Author: Marrying Winterborne, Devil in Winter and Cold-Hearted Rake.

    It’s not the best of her best but still a great plot and a very fun read. The chemistry between the two main characters is great and the twist was incredibly clever. Avoid spoilers vigilantly! This one has everything you would expect from one of the queens of romance fiction.
  • Great story!

    Very easy but exciting reading, I find the books I have read hard to put down. I always am eager to pick them up again to read.
  • A wonderful change...

    I found the deviation from the aristocracy to more attention to the layman very interesting indeed. I could relate to the hero/heroine. Real people without all the restraints of 'Lord This' and 'Lady That'. Fewer privileges but also fewer requirements or expectations... a bit of a break from the usual is ever intriguing and unlike some of the other reviewers I did not find the ending rushed at all. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
  • Disturbing

    LOVED the Wallflowers & the Hathaways series - devoured them in heaping helpings - less than a week for each series. I have only made it halfway through this book after almost a week - its premise is disturbing & the characters unsympathetic - the 'hot' scenes warped, contrived & manipulated - am dropping it in spite of a general reader's commitment to complete what I start. Again, 10 AWEsome books, but this one is, well, NOT.
  • Movie please!

    Loved this book for those who enjoy sequels read this first,then Lady Sophia's lover followed up with Worth any price. I did not realize they all flowed together and read them out of sync. Loved all of them but sure wish they would tell you the sequence when purchasing on iTunes.
