Fiction. Romance. Historical Fiction. HTML:From New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh comes the first installment of the beloved Bedwyn saga. 

Meet the Bedwyns: six brothers and sisters—men and women of passion and privilege, daring and sensuality. Enter their dazzling world of high society and breathtaking seduction, where each will seek love, fight temptation, and court scandal—and where Aidan Bedwyn, the marriage-shy second son, discovers that matrimony may be the most seductive act of all. 

Like all the Bedwyn men, Aidan has a reputation for cool arrogance. But this proud nobleman also possesses a loyal, passionate heart—and it is this fierce loyalty that has brought Colonel Lord Aidan to Ringwood Manor to honor a dying soldier’s request. Having promised to comfort and protect the man’s sister, Aidan never expected to find a headstrong, fiercely independent woman who wants no part of his protection—nor did he expect the feelings this beguiling creature would ignite in his guarded heart. And when a relative threatens to turn Eve out of her home, Aidan gallantly makes her an offer she can’t refuse: marry him, if only to save her home. And now, as all of London breathlessly awaits the unveiling of the Lady Aidan Bedwyn, the strangest thing happens: With one touch, one searing embrace, Aidan and Eve’s “business arrangement” is about to be transformed—into something slightly surprising. 


BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Mary Balogh's The Secret Mistress..

This book is not my genre or my type of story. But it was recommended to me, so I got through it. However, it did keep my interest much of the time -- which surprised me -- so I gave it a good 3 stars. I did enjoy the historical aspect. ( )

I really enjoyed my first Mary Balogh book, although there were some aspects that I found a bit too shallow. I listened to this on audible and the narrator, Rosalyn Landor, was fantastic.
The first half of the book was a bit boring to me at times because the characters were too flat - Eve simply too good, Aidan simply too stiff. The story moved very slowly and felt too predictable, even for a Regency romance. I still enjoyed the narration, though, and the general atmosphere idea of it, as well as many of the dialogues.
In the second half, the story became better and better and I could not stop listening because I was so enthralled. I did enjoy the twists and turns, and the development of Aidan made me cry several times because it was so touching. I just did not want the story to end and at the same time wished to finally get to the end in order to see these characters receive their well-deserved happy ending.
I will definitely continue with this series! ( )

This is the first full-length novel I’ve read by this author, and I’m definitely up for another. I might just have to skip to Wulf’s book and read the series out of order, because I loved him in this one. Aidan’s view of him was not wholly reliable, and I thought the author did a good job of conveying that. Wulf’s actions spoke for themselves, and his last scenes in the book made me smile really hard!

Eve was a fantastic heroine—definitely saintly beyond belief, but I loved her spirit and how she stood up for herself. I liked Aidan’s honesty and his devotion to his family. Both entered their marriage of convenience with a sense of loss rather than an imbalance of affection, and following them on their winding path to love was very satisfying. The angst maybe carried on a little longer than I wanted, but I’m also impatient about these things.

Adding the Bedwyn series to the pile! ( )

Enjoyed this series very much when I first read it, and wanted to read it again. Held up pretty well upon my return to it, and it's fun to see the characters developing as a family with remembered context, this time around. ( )
