Slightly boring
I'm just getting thru these now so I can read about Wulf! Why does his story have to be last?
It's unfair that this re-read of the Bedwyn's is plagued with the "Not Wulf" syndrome. His cold, hauty manner makes me die for his story a little bit more every book. In addition, Morgan's story suffers in comparison to one of my favorite "revenge marriage" books, Anne Stuart's BREATHLESS. Balogh...
At 21, Gervase Ashford was used as a lady's method of breaking her engagement. He was humiliated, and his father exiled him from England. Gervase spent the next 9 years touring Europe, indulging himself in every debauched pleasure to avoid acknowledging how upset he is. But then, his father dies,...
Morgan's story has thrills and romance. Once again, the Duke plays a fascinating cameo role.
I like that not only are each of the Bedwyn's unique, but their stories are unique as well. While Freya's is reminiscent of Kit's story in "A Summer to Remember", hers was the only one to bring in similar elements.This is Morgan's story, and it's definitely all her own. She's the only one of the Bed...

I...
I wasn't able to connect with the main characters in this book as I was with the previous ones in the series. For one thing, unless I somehow missed it (which I doubt as I went over the first few chapters) MB never gave a solid description of the H Gervase. The only thing said was that he was tall, ...
I didn't feel a chemistry, a true friendship or tension build between Alleyne and Rachel. I was very disappointed by the length of his amnesia and Alleyne's fear over returning home. The family reunion was too long delayed, especially given the grief we saw in Slightly Sinful.
Lady Morgan Bedwyn is in Brussels, mere days before the Waterloo battle. In those days she meets Gervase, Earl of Rosthorn and is charmed by him. His motives though are not pure; he seeks revenge against her brother, the duke, for a wrong done to him ten years ago. A wrong that made his father send ...
