Slightly Scandalous / Mary Balogh 384 p.
Lady Freyja Bedwyn has a mind of her own and packs a punch that she throws when her dander goes up. When Joshua Moore dashes into her life, really her bedroom at an inn, we are treated to a fun and lively regency romance. There are twists and turns in this courtship. Nothing seems to go according to Hoyle with the Bedwyns. Lady Freyja speaks her mind to Joshua very publicly, the Bath ton gets an earful. And that is how the courtship starts. Lord Hallmere can hold his own. That seems to be the attraction. To save Lord Hallmere from a forced engagement, unwanted by either party, Freyja sets up a secret pretend engagement. And does that get the ton's tongues wagging, so much so that Freyja oldest brother, the duke, turns up at his most iciest. And the plot takes another turn in this sensuous Regency romance. What makes these stories fun, too, is we are treated to seeing old friends again and again.
Bedwyn saga no. 4.
