![]() ![]() It does, and so I can’t complain even a little bit. But also let’s just admit that Balogh’s formula really works for her. Even I got pissy at some point in the last Bedwyn book because of the repetition and lack of imagination. ![]() Okay, yes, let’s all agree that Balogh uses the same tropes over and over, which could potentially get to be very tiring and frustrating. I frackin’ loved this book, and I don’t even know why I’m surprised by it. Kind of like how all those Regency people get married for a bad reason but then realize their partner is actually their “soulmate” (please note scare quotes). Honestly, I wasn’t even interested in the book but I read it for the sake of duty and then I fell in love. Obviously, Mary Balogh is my soulmate, and Slightly Tempted is yet another glorious success in our ongoing relationship. (I actually don’t believe in soulmates, but we’ll go with it.) An author who somehow pulls out all the things on your bookish wishlist and makes them happen for you, and does it with excellent writing, characterization, and charm. I feel like possibly, we all might have an author who is our soulmate. ![]()
