Summary: i had hoped for more
Review: While reading the first three books in the Slightly series i was really looking forward to Morgan's story. She was always one of my favorites of the Bedwyn family. i was somewhat dissipointed in her story. first i'll say what i did like though. The plot i liked a lot more than any of the other books. Gervase's plan to get back at Wolf caught my interest after reading the back of the book. Gervase's flirting with Morgan while Captain Lord Gordon expected her to marry him was fun to watch go on at the same time. unlike some of the other reviewers i did like the whole Waterloo battle and how Morgan stayed and how her relationship with Gervase became a friendship.

what i didn't like about this book was how Morgan insisted that Gervase forgive those who hurt him so bad and were the cause of his father reason to kick him out of the country. while i think it was good of Morgan to insist on him forgiving them she didn't forgive him. i never understood how she could tell him to forgive while she did not and was determined to break his heart if he loved her or stay with him if he hated her, just because he WAS going to use her to hurt Wolf. it seemed shallow to me and made her seem a little like a hypocrit making me like Morgan less than i did before.

if you look past that whole part the book was a good read and we have another cute Bedwyn couple but i had hoped for more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST OF THE BEDWYNS
Review: WOW! Without a doubt a keeper. I know this story has been done before but Mary Balogh makes all other revenge driven plots pale in comparison. This is her best Bedwyn so far. An intelligent heroine (as the Bedwyn women are) is always a welcome addition to any book. Morgan turns out to be so much more than Gervase expects and in turn Gervase turns out to be much more complex than Morgan realizes. Both protagonists are intelligent and witty. You'll be drawn into the story almost immediately and I would bet you won't put this book down until you've finished it. But don't hurry. Savor the story since it will be awhile before MB's next installment.
