Title: The Lady Risks All
Review: I love regency romance and this is another
winner from this author. This is a long
book, but I enjoyed the twists and turns of the romance in this book. Finding out someone is not the someone you
thought they were is always interesting and fun. Especially when you add to it a yummy single
wealthy man who wants to do the right thing…every time, everywhere, then you
have a mixture worth reading about and romance that is off the charts.
This is a book
worthy of this author and the way she weaves a great tale of romance. I enjoy this author, but you have to be sure
of what you have read and what you haven’t.
She reprints many of her older books from time to time. I have started reading several books over
again by accident.
If you enjoy
romance and especially regency romance you will love this book. Also this one is about a strong independent women, even with all the rules to keep her a lady. I love that she took the reins for her own life. I found it worth my time and yes there is sex
so if that is not your thing then don’t pick up this book.

Author Biography: Stephanie Laurens was born in Sri Lanka, which was at the
time the British colony of Ceylon. When she was 5, her family moved to
Melbourne, Australia, where she was raised. After continuing through school and
earning a Ph.D. in Biochemistry in Australia, Laurens and her husband moved to
Great Britain, taking one of the last true overland journeys from Katmandu to
London.
Once in London, Laurens and her husband
both began work as research scientists in Kent. They lived in an area
surrounded by history. Their own cottage was built in the 16th century, while
next door were the protected ruins of an early Roman villa, and nearby was a
14th century castle.
After four years in England, Laurens and
her husband returned to Australia, where she continued to work in cancer
research, eventually heading her own research laboratory. One evening Laurens
realized that she did not have any more of her favorite romance novels to read.
After years of thinking about writing her own novel, during nights and weekends
for the next several months she began crafting her own story. That manuscript,
Tangled Reins, was the first of her books to be published. After achieving a
level of success with her novels, Laurens "retired" from scientific
research and became a full-time novelist. Her novels are primarily historical
romances set in the Regency time period.
Laurens and her husband live in
Melbourne with their two daughters.
