by Mary Balogh.
This book follows Morgan, the youngest. Morgan is interested in the war that is going on and follows some friends to Brussels to be closer to the action. Her brother Aidan goes missing and she stays behind in Brussels while her companions return to England. A "friend" stays with her for protection and of course more develops. The snafoo in their relationship is that he started out befriending her because he holds a grudge against her brother. We find out a bit of the Bedwyn history in this one (relating to Wulf) and of course all works out in the end.
There are only 2 more in the series, Aidan is next, the Bedwyns think he is dead so I think the next book actually coincides time wise with this one, just a parallel story.

Slightly Scandalous (Slightly series book 3)
by Mary Balogh.
This book follows Freyja Bedwin as she leaves her brother's wedding to travel to Bath to avoid going home where she would be around when Kit Butler and his new wife (from A Summer to Remember) are expecting their first child). She runs into Josh when he breaks into her room at an inn.
They meet a few more times, not under flattering circumstances all the time and end up in a fake engagement which drags on and on and eventually of course at the end becomes real :)
Freyja is an interesting character, you don't have to really like her too much to understand her a bit and understand why some people like her. She never really softens up to the outside world but you find out that really she has soft spots she just keeps them hidden.
Good timing as I'm interested to find out if Claudia Martin from the Simply series will end up befriending Freyja or not.

A Summer to Remember (pre-Bedywin's book 2)
by Mary Balogh.
This is actually a second book, the first being One Night to Love but I couldnt' get it on the Kindle so I have not yet read it. This book however follows Kit Butler who I know only as having broken Frey Bedwyn's heart and I wanted to read this one before her story.
He gets into a fake engagement with Lauren from book 1 of the series (which I have not yet read) to get out of an engagement with Freyja. They of course fall in love and end up really getting married. This one was a good one to read, I got to know a lot of characters that were referenced in the later books I read. It was also good that I read this before the Freyja book which I started up next.

Slightly Wicked (Slightly series book 2)
by Mary Balogh.
This is the story of Rannulf and Judith. They meet on the road and have a whirlwind romance of 2 nights, both pretending to be someone else. Later when they meet up under more normal circumstances it is to find out that they are to be neighbors for a while and he is to be courting her cousin.
Quite a compelling story with lots of troubles and twists but we get to meet the Bedwyn's a bit more at the end, finally seeing more of the sisters, particularly Freyja who's story starts right up at the end of this one. Again i couldn't put this book down at all!

Slightly Married (Slightly book 1)
by Mary Balogh.
This is the first in a series that follows the Bedwyn family. This book covers the story of Aidan and Eve. Aidan marries Eve to save her with the idea that it would be a marriage of convenience and they'd never see each other again. Of course this doesn't work out as planned :) We are introduced to most of the Bedwyn family in this book and it ends with one brother Rannulf coming and then leaving again after meeting Eve. That leads directly into Rannulf's story - the second book.
I am devouring these, I really can't put them down at all!
