** spoiler alert ** I won't bother repeating myself too much. Much of what I've said about Balogh's other books in this series can be said for Slightly Tempted. It wasn't bad or great, and there were a number of things that annoyed me.

When yet ANOTHER fake betrothal became part of the story, I literally wanted to bang my head heavily into a wall. This was the third one of the series (not including Aidan's in-name-only marriage of convenience). It's a nice story hook, but really, how many times can you use it in one series? Three is by far too many. Where is Balogh's originality? Even the other repetitions that I mentioned in the last review persisted. It's rather tedious.

Aside from all that, the book was decent enough. I like Morgan and Gervase. And the mystery surround why Gervase was banished from his home added some depth to what could have been a dull plot. Then there was Alleyne's part in the story. That definitely made things more interesting. If it hadn't been for the fake betrothal, I probably would have liked the book more. But all in all, it was a likable enough book.
