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… Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not as good as other Balogh titlesI have had the pleasure of reading several of Balogh's other titles, but this is my first foray into the Bedwyn family. While I did enjoy the book, I found it to be repetitious. Everything was "haughty". Freyja had a haughty tone, a haughty manner, haughty expressions, she conducted herself haughtily. By the time I finished reading the first few chapters, I was heartily sick of the word "haughty". And apparently, in order to make the reader believe that Freyja is spirited and strongwilled, ... Read More Rating:  - Taming of the ShrewIf you've been following the Bedwyn series, you'll already know Lady Freyja Bedwyn. Haughty, shrewish, with the prominent Bedwyn nose and, at best, referred to as 'handsome', her best feature is her family name and wealth. She's refused suitors galore and frozen others out long before they've had a chance to get close to proposing. Up to this point, you might be forgiven for thinking that she doesn't have a lot to recommend her as a heroine. You might be forgiven for actively disliking her. Balogh ...

I've got some good things, and some bad things that I can say. Overall, the book wasn't too bad. I ended up not disliking Freyja as much as I did in the previous books, but I still didn't quite like her. She was a bit too much of a snob. I really enjoyed Josh, though. The romance was fairly nice between Josh and Freyja, and the overall storyarc made sense and all that. I liked the parts surrounding ... Read More Rating:  - Good read...This book is great. I love Freyja she is such a spit fire. And Joshua needed to get his keester hit a couple times by Freyja. This book is funny and cleaver. I would recommend it to anyone. Rating: - The excellent third book in the Bedwyn SeriesAlthough very much a fan of Mary Balogh's Regency romances I have been a little disappointed in some of her more recent books, mainly in the "Slightly" series. Chronologically "Slightly Married" (the story of Aidan) and "Slightly Wicked" (Rannulf) come before this book, although "A Summer To Remember" introduced this family. In many of these books Lady Freyja appears and she was always a character I found difficult to like - she was positively nasty to the heroine in "A Summer To Remember" and seems to go around punching ...
