Work detailsSlightly Married by Mary Balogh
None. The Bedwyn Saga has always been a favorite of mine, and this is the book that started it all. Balogh's oblique feints past such familiar romance tropes seem obvious to me now... but I think back in the day, new to romance and new to this series, SLIGHTLY MARRIED was the perfect balance of historical conventionand modern humor and love. I still get choked up when Becky runs across the field yelling "Papa".

I *know* that's what this story is about--how a marriage for convenience eventually grows into one of true love--but I guess they're just not my cup of tea. Eve is angelically good and lovely; Aidan and his siblings are all a little too stiff and cruel for my taste. Balogh is a great writer, that's for sure; I guess this particular series of hers is not really to my liking, since I'm not too fond of any of the Bedwyns and don't really feel inclined to learn more about them all. (  ) stephxsu | Jun 17, 2011 | A great beginning to the Bedwyns! http://ktleyed.blogspot.com/2011/03/slightly-married-by-mary-balogh.html ( ) ktleyed | Mar 13, 2011 | This book started off as a 3 star and went to about 3 1/2 star. It is still an enjoyable read just not as good as some others I have read. This is the story of Aiden Bedwyn and Eve Morris. Colonel Lord Aiden Bedwyn makes a promise to a dying soldier to look after his sister, no matter what. When he gets back to England he goes to visit Eve and tell her of her brothers passing, she thanks him and sends him on his way saying that she does not need his protection. He finds out though that she does and that she needs to marry to keep her inheritance. Because of his need to honour the wish of Eve’s brother he asks her to marry him in name only. From there things don’t go quite as they had worked them out to and they don’t get to part as soon as they had planned and by the end of the book they fall in love with each other. This book is part a series of books on the Bedwyn’s, who are 3 brothers and 3 sisters. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.
