Slightly Wicked

Bedwyn Saga Series, Book 2

De: Mary Balogh

Narrado por: Rosalyn Landor

With his laughing eyes and wild, rakish good looks, Lord Rannulf Bedwyn is a hard man to resist. To Judith Law, a woman in need of rescue when her stagecoach overturns, Rannulf is simply her savior, a heroic stranger she will reward with one night of reckless passion before she must become a companion to her wealthy aunt. Imagine Judith's shock when the same stranger turns out to be among England's most eligible bachelors, and when he arrives at Harewood Grange to woo her cousin. Certainly, they had made no vows, no promises, but Rannulf never did forget his uninhibited lover - nor did she forget that one delicious night. And as scandal sets the household abuzz, Rannulf proposes a solution. But when Judith refuses to have him - in love or wedlock - Rannulf has only one choice: to wage a campaign of pure pleasure to capture the heart of the woman who has already won his.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The Bedwyn siblings are the most fascinating romance protagonists to come along since Jude Devereaux's Montgomery brothers in the 1980s, and Balogh's sensuous Regency-era romances set the standard. They are not to be missed." ( Booklist)

Something For Everybody

Would you listen to Slightly Wicked again? Why?

Probably. There's something for everybody; romance, deceptions, sex, mystery, revenge and maliciousness, familial love as well as jealousies and discourteous behavior toward family members, haughty class distinctions, a beautiful niece/cousin treated like Cinderella... plus .

What was one of the most memorable moments of Slightly Wicked?

When the Duke's brother comes across a wrecked stage coach in the rain. Muddy roads make it impossible to set the stage aright so taking one passenger on his horse with him he sends help back for the others. Naturally he chose a pretty girl to ride with him. He pretends to be someone else, as does she. They spend 2 nights together before the rain lets up. While he is gone to rent a carriage to take her to her supposed destination, she leaves him by taking a public stage before he gets back.

What about Rosalyn Landor’s performance did you like?

Difficult question to answer, as she always gives a great performance.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The lonely and mistreated poor relative, Judith Law, moved me to feel pity for her. Regardless of her plight in life she puts a smile on her face and tries to make the most of it.

Any additional comments?

This is my second book in the Bedwyn Saga Series and both were well worth a credit. I enjoyed them both and look forward to more.

Love this series

Great story and good reading. I read the series when they were first released and decided to revisit the stories. Definitely worth it.

Simply delightful!

Wonderful story, great characters and awesome narration!! I’ve now listened to all the books in this series except 1, and found each one awesome. Mary Balogh just does it for me and Rosalyn Landor puts the cherry on top. Go forth and get it now! 5*****

Loved the storyline

I really enjoyed the story. I've listened to several books narrated by Rosalyn Landor and really like her range when it comes to the women's voices. For a seductive male voice though, it just doesn't do it for me.
The intimate scenes are very vividly described which, for a prude like me, is a little difficult to get through but I'm sure most people won't have a problem with that. I DID enjoy it overall.

Very enjoyable

Love this series and the story is a fun fantasy that always helps me get in the mood

Love love love this series.

So now I need to listen to all of them. Thought I could just listen for an hour or so a day...but that doesn't work with these stories:-)

Loved this book!

This story has to be one of my favorites. I found myself spring cleaning just so I could binge listen to it….I honestly did not want to stop listening to it!!

Loved it.

Just the book I was looking for and didn't know it.. Stumbled upon it and couldn't put it down once I started listening. Definitely will be listening to more from this author and narrator

Loved This book!

It was awesome! And as always Rosalyn Landor is perfect narrator. It has everything … romance and surprises and the struggles differences in classes…. And how everyone thought being an actress was such a looked down upon profession . I really liked the characters. I’d listen again.

So enjoyable.

Such a sweet, romantic story. Part of the series so far each one has been wonderful. Loved the way it is written and narrated.
