    <body><![CDATA[A really great book, 4.5 stars. I've like Freyja since the beginning but I had no idea how things would play out in her book, if anyone would be able to suit her or if she would change completely to a character I don't recognize. I have to say kudos to MB for making such an engaging story for her. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62735929">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Growing up with four unruly brothers has made Freyja Bedwyn far bolder than most society ladies. From feisty manner to long, tumbling hair, Lady Freyja is pure fire, a woman who seeks both adventure and freedom. <br/><br/>Adventure soon finds her on a visit to Bath, when a handsome stranger bursts into Freyja's room and entreats her to hide him.  His name is Joshua Moore, Marquess of Hallmere, a man with a hell-raising reputation of his own who is quickly intrigued by the independent beauty. So intrigued, in fact, that he makes her a surprising request: to pose as his fiancée and help thwart his family's matchmaking schemes.  For two people determined to be free, it's the perfect plan&#8230;until passion blindsides them both.  For as Joshua sets out to achieve his complete seduction of Freyja, a woman who has sworn off love is in danger of losing the one thing she never expected to give again: her heart&#8230;]]>

    <![CDATA[Growing up with four unruly brothers has made Freyja Bedwyn far bolder than most society ladies. From feisty manner to long, tumbling hair, Lady Freyja is pure fire, a woman who seeks both adventure and freedom. <br/><br/>Adventure soon finds her on a visit to Bath, when a handsome stranger bursts into Freyja's room and entreats her to hide him.  His name is Joshua Moore, Marquess of Hallmere, a man with a hell-raising reputation of his own who is quickly intrigued by the independent beauty. So intrigued, in fact, that he makes her a surprising request: to pose as his fiancée and help thwart his family's matchmaking schemes.  For two people determined to be free, it's the perfect plan&#8230;until passion blindsides them both.  For as Joshua sets out to achieve his complete seduction of Freyja, a woman who has sworn off love is in danger of losing the one thing she never expected to give again: her heart&#8230;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Loved it! Each of these siblings in the Slightly series are so unique yet tied together with the family as backdrop. I actually read this one last for some reason and appreciated Freyja and Joshua's story even more.]]></body>
