Reviews

** 'Exceptionally entertaining... impeccable plotting and memorable characters, Balogh's book raises the bar for regency romances.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Continuing the adventures of the memorable Bedwyn siblings, first introduced in A Summer To Remember, this sassy romp takes the fiery, unconventional Lady Freya Bedwyn, puts her into a sham engagement with a footloose, scapegrace marquess who hopes to avoid his family's matrimonial machinations, and lets the fireworks start. But the mock betrothal takes on a life of its own; and as their families get involved, Lady Freya and the marquess suddenly realize that they don't want to end their relationship after all. The sexual tension fairly crackles between this pair of beautifully matched protagonists as they struggle to remain independent. Zingy dialog, witty humor, and marvelously appealing characters breathe new life into a classic plot. Balogh (Slightly Wicked) is a best-selling author of traditional Regencies and Regency-set historicals, and this delightful and exceptionally well-done title nicely demonstrates her matchless style.
