Product 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 Freyja Bedwyn, the wild-hearted daughter, meets her match in a man as passionate, reckless, and scandalous as she.

Growing up with four unruly brothers has made Freyja Bedwyn far bolder than most society ladies. From feisty manner to long, tumbling hair, Lady Freyja is pure fire, a woman who seeks both adventure and freedom.

Adventure soon finds her on a visit to Bath, when a handsome stranger bursts into Freyja's room and entreats her to hide him. His name is Joshua Moore, Marquess of Hallmere, a man with a hell-raising reputation of his own who is quickly intrigued by the independent beauty. So intrigued, in fact, that he makes her a surprising request: to pose as his fiancée and help thwart his family's matchmaking schemes. For two people determined to be free, it's the perfect plan…until passion blindsides them both. For as Joshua sets out to achieve his complete seduction of Freyja, a woman who has sworn off love is in danger of losing the one thing she never expected to give again: her heart…


*********

A Summer to Remember introduced the saga of the Bedwyn family... Now here we have the story of Freyja, who is recovering from a broken heart caused by Kit Butler, from A Summer to Remember.This was the first book by Ms. Balogh that I have read and I wasn't disappointed.

The story really flows well...Staying a night at an inn before arriving to Bath where she is going to stay with friends until after festivities surrounding the birth of Kit Butler's baby, Freyja's room is suddenly invaded by Joshua Moore, Marquess of Hallmere. He is running and in need for a place to hide...But before he leaves her room he steal's her a kiss...

Then, in Bath Freyja soon realises who he really is...But despite of evil things that she says about him, she knows that he is the most interesting and enjoyable company that she has encountered in Bath.

Suddenly, because of his aunt wishes to wed him to her daugther, Freyja finds herself involved on a fake betrothal to save Josh. But what starts to be just a temporary situation soon becomes another thing. Could it be that they found love?

This was a delightful story with a funny,lovely couple.
