Book Review By Angel Manners
Slightly Wicked by Mary Balogh

    Rannulf Bedwyn, a rakishly handsome man, rescues Judith Law from an overturned stagecoach. Judith, who is on her way to become a companion to an elderly aunt, sees Rannulf's rescue as her one chance at adventure, so she pretends to be an actress and spends one night of passion with Rannulf, thinking she will never see him again.
    Judith does meet him again, though, because Judith's aunt resides with Judith's cousin, Julianne, who Rannulf has travalled to court at his Great Aunt's request. When Rannulf discovers Judith, he courts her instead, but she must resist him for her family's sake.
    Rannulf and Judith want each other, even though Rannulf's aunt is trying her best to match him with Julianne. The two must overcome family matchmaking and evil aunts if they want find the love that is hiding beneath the surface.
