The Lady Risks All- by Stephanie Laurens

I was given advanced access to the eARC of The Lady Risks All by Stephanie Laurens last month, thanks to my very cool Avon Addict status. I also participated in a very cool Addict exclusive web chat with Ms. Laurens (one of my all time favorite historical authors) and was able to ask her questions about her process in writing this book, and to grill her a little about her next book in the Cynster Series.. "And then She Fell"- to be released on March 2013.  The Lady Risks All went on sale on September 25th and is in the top 5 on the New York Times Best Seller List for Paperback Mass Market Fiction. Amazon.com has the Kindle Edition listed for $6.99 and the paperback edition for $7.99, The Nook Book and paperback edition is currently priced at $7.99 at BN.com.  Below is my review of The Lady Risks All. ...

Self or self-sacrifice?

Let there be no doubt. I love, love, love the books of Stephanie Laurens. I got a copy of The Lady Risks All a while back since I am one of the original Avon Addicts. It took the enforced leisure of a head cold to get me to start it at last. It didn’t disappoint. Who could resist a gambling king who has a higher moral code than those who look down upon him? Or a heroine who is smart enough and brave enough to take the final step into womanhood no matter what society may think?

It is a game of chance, luck, skill, and risk.  For a small percentage of the populous the game becomes addictive, an obsession they cannot resist. The stakes are high and the games have been the ruin of many a man and family. It was also a known danger or curse, as the family looked upon it, for the men of the Delbraith family. One that seemed to have a habit of taking hold of just about every male member. But what surprised most of the family twelve years ago, was that the man with ironically the better poker face, the man who had more to lose and had been groomed to be the more responsible of the two Delbraith brothers was the one who had...

Review: The Lady Risks All by Stephanie Laurens

The Lady Risks All by Stephanie Laurens Historical Romance Paperback September 25, 2012 Avon Reviewed by Tori Favorite Quote: “This wasn’t some passing connection. This power and glory wasn’t something that would fade and die- “ Neville Roscoe is the notorious, scandalous owner of several gambling dens. A private man, he exists on the fringes of society and is given wide berth by everyone. We learn early on that Neville is really Lord Julian Delbraith and his decline into society’s more dark ventures is forced by family circumstances. He chooses to sacrifice himself in order to save his family from ruin. This has caused Neville to isolate himself, not only from his family, but from society in general. While not a heartless man, he is aloof and removed, in order to not only protect his family, but also himself. It’s only when he meets Miranda Clifford does his protective instincts...

The Lady Risks All by Stephanie Laurens

Read the Original Review Miranda Clifford has spent the entirety of her twenty-nine years toeing the line of respectability with the utmost care. Her spinster aunts have always insisted that their family’s shaky status in the lower echelons of England’s gentry make any hint of scandal a disastrous event, to be avoided at any cost. Miranda would not have listened so carefully had she not wanted so badly to ensure her baby brother, Roderick, have every advantage available to a young man with a sizeable fortune. With Roderick nearly grown and capable of managing his own life and prospects, Miranda is left feeling not only useless, but adrift. London’s infamous gambling king has a secret.
