He finds her, but quickly realises she’s not what he had assumed - rather than a willful, spoiled girl being petulant, he finds an openly terrified young woman who still doesn’t let her fear jeopardise an iron core. He’s also still taking some private commissions, and one of them involves hunting down the would-be bride of the much-older and creepily-obsessed Lord Radnor. Nick Gentry is three years into his forcible reformation as a member of the Bow Street Runners, atoning for his past as a criminal mastermind. Unfortunately, with so little to play against, he’s not exactly showing to his best in this book, either, and so the whole thing just ends up feeling like it missed the mark. And that’s a shame, because Nick Gentry deserved better. It’s not that there’s anything really wrong with her - there are just ways in which I feel she lacks substance, and that makes this the weakest of the three Bow Street Runners novels. I think it’s because I don’t care as much for the heroine as I might. Title: Worth Any Price (Bow Street Runners #3)
