I'm a co-blogger at All Things Urban Fantasy, while Read Fragment is where other genres wash ashore.
The Bedwyn Saga has always been a favorite of mine, and this is the book that started it all. Balogh's oblique feints past such familiar romance tropes seem obvious to me now... but I think back in the day, new to romance and new to this series, SLIGHTLY MARRIED was the perfect balance of historical conventionand modern humor and love. I still get choked up when Becky runs across the field yelling "Papa".
