Book Description:
Meet the Bedwyns… six brothers and sisters--men and women of passion and privilege, daring and sensuality… Enter their dazzling world of high society and breathtaking seduction… where each will seek love, fight temptation, and court scandal… and where Rannulf Bedwyn, the rebellious third son, enters into a liaison that is rather risqué, somewhat naughty, and… Slightly Wicked.



With his laughing eyes and wild, rakish good looks, Lord Rannulf Bedwyn is a hard man to resist. To Judith Law, a woman in need of rescue when her stagecoach overturns, Rannulf is simply her savior, a heroic stranger she will reward with one night of reckless passion before she must become a companion to her wealthy aunt. Imagine Judith's shock when the same stranger turns out to be among England's most eligible bachelors…and when he arrives at Harewood Grange to woo her cousin. Certainly, they had made no vows, no promises, but Rannulf never did forget his uninhibited lover…nor did she forget that one delicious night. And as scandal sets the household abuzz, Rannulf proposes a solution…but when Judith refuses to have him--in love or wedlock--Rannulf has only one choice: to wage a campaign of pure pleasure to capture the heart of the woman who has already won his.

This book is one of those "I'll just read one more chapter, then I'll ... go to sleep, do the laundry, make dinner, etc., etc. - with all the best intentions - but you just keep reading! (Sound familiar??)

Readers will be delighted with Balogh's new series that features the half-dozen members of the Bedwyn family first met in A Summer to Remember. In Slightly Wicked, third son Rannulf picks up a fetching young woman whom he believes is an actress stranded in the rain due to a coach crash. Judith Law, a parson's daughter, is traveling to her aunt's home to live as a poor relation and has decided to have one fling, one chance to not spend the remainder of her sure to be desolate life as a virgin. Pretending to be an actress, she accompanies Rannulf to an inn where they make passionate love before she slips away to take up her duties as an unpaid servant in her aunt's country house. When Rannulf turns up as a likely suitor for her cousin, complications abound. The Bedwyn siblings are the most fascinating romance protagonists to come along since Jude Devereaux's Montgomery brothers in the 1980s, and Balogh's sensuous Regency-era romances set the standard. They are not to be missed.

This is my absolute favorite of the "Slightly " series. I love that the heroine thinks herself not pretty at all, even to the point of being embarrassed about her looks. And the book has some wonderful twists you never expect. It's one of my favorites of all Mary Balogh books.

Mary Balogh continues her smashing series with Rannulf Bedwyn. He is going to visit his grandmother and thwart her matchmaking efforts when he meets a young lady masquerading as an actress. Theft, mystery, and mayhem collide to throw challenges into their paths.

After parting ways, Judith is shocked to see Rannulf again, this time he arrives at her aunts to woo her cousin.

Great Book. It was hard to put down. I enjoyed seeing the hero and heroine fall in love. Can't wait to read my next Bedwyn story.

If you count the prequels One Night For love and A Summer To Remember then this is the 4th in the Bedwyn series- Rannulf's story. Lovely romantic story.

A lovely, lovely story! At times the plot reminded me of Jane Austen. It was a great addition to the Bedwyn family series.
