Finally it's Wulf's story and it starts at a house party (he never goes to house parties but is feeling lonely after all his siblings have recently or not so recently become happily married). He meets Christine, a widow. Neither of them want to like each other but of course in the end things work out. I really enjoyed this one and it tied up some loose ends of some side characters which was nice.

Slightly Sinful (slightly series book 5)
by Mary Balogh.
Book 5 follows Alleyne Bedwyn who was presumed dead in the previous book. He winds up in a brothel in Brussels with no memory of who he is. Rachel York, the woman who saved him ends up entering a fake marriage with Alleyne (this series is full of fake engagements so why not a fake marriage) :). Of course in the end he does remember who he is (or is helped to remember), and it completes the scene from Morgan's story where she sees a man standing at the house just before her wedding breakfast (it's Alleyne). It was a nice book to round out the family, leaving only the Duke of Bewcastle left to go!

Slightly Tempted (Slightly series book 4)
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.

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!
