Romance title: Slightly Dangerous

All of London is abuzz over the imminent arrival of Wulfric Bedwyn, the reclusive, cold-as-ice Duke of Bewcastle, at the most glittering social event of the season. Some whisper of a tragic love affair. Others say he is so aloof and passionless that not even the greatest beauty could capture his attention. But on this dazzling afternoon, one woman did catch the duke's eye - and she was the only female in the room who wasn't even trying. Christine Derrick is intrigued by the handsome duke - all the more so when he invites her to become his mistress. What red-blooded woman wouldn't enjoy a tumble in the bedsheets with a consummate lover'with no strings and no questions asked. An infuriating lady with very definite views on men, morals, and marriage, Christine confounds Wulfric at every turn. Yet even as the lone wolf of the Bedwyn clan vows to seduce her any way he can, something strange and wonderful is happening. Now for a man who thought he'd never lose his heart, nothing less than love will do. With her trademark wit, riveting storytelling, and sizzling sexual sparks, Mary Balogh once again brings together two polar opposites: an irresistible, high-and-mighty aristocrat and the impulsive, pleasure-loving woman who shows him what true passion is all about. A man and a woman so wrong for each other, it can result only in the perfect match. From the Hardcover edition. See more like this in our Romance ebooks section

Slightly Dangerous

Chapter One

"Your cheeks are looking alarmingly flushed, Christine," her mother remarked, setting her embroidery down in her lap the better to observe her daughter. "And your eyes are very bright. I hope you are not coming down with a fever."

Christine laughed. "I have been at the vicarage, playing with the children," she explained. "Alexander wanted to play cricket, but after a few minutes it became clear that Marianne could not catch a ball and Robin could not hit one. We played hide-and-seek instead, though Alexander thought it was somewhat beneath his dignity now that he is nine years old until I asked him how his poor aunt must feel, then, at the age of twenty-nine. I was it all the time, of course. We had great fun until Charles poked his head out of the study window and asked us-rhetorically, I suppose-how he was ever to get his sermon finished with all the noise we were making. So Hazel gave us all a glass of lemonade and shooed the children off to the parlor to read quietly, poor things, and I came home."

"I suppose," her eldest sister, Eleanor, said, looking up from her book and observing Christine over the t ... read full excerpt from: Slightly Dangerous ebook

	Strong memorable characters 07/21/2009
Reviewer: A viewer from Milwaukee, WI US
I read this book first, though it is the last of the Slightly series. Balough's characters in this book are complex and flawed. They seem like real people, but are still very impressive. I especially liked how the Duke's character must battle his inner doubts about his identity. In Slightly Married, his character was made a very strong presence. I was constantly comparing his character in each book. I can't wait to finish the Slightly series and re-read this one again.

Reviewer: A viewer from New York, NY US
This is definitely my favorite book from the Bedwyn series. as the last book in the series, we see a completely different side to Wulfric-a passionate man who is harden by his duties to his family. But when he meets and falls in love with the very inappropriate Christine Derrick, his icy exterior melts. However, showing the woman that he loves how he truly feels could be the biggest challenge in his life! Def. recommend!
