I would highly recommend this story. It has a feisty leading lady.
Freya meets Joshua in a hilarious way.
Intrigue follows them throughout the story.
It is part of the Slightly series, but can be read as a stand alone.
I have only read one other book in the series, and totally enjoyed this, regardless.

I admit that although I purchased A Summer To Remember, I was waiting to complete the Bedwyn series before I read it. After reading some of the reviews I don't think I will. I liked Freyja's character in this book, I think Kit was an ass and don't want to read about how he was a good guy while he tried to steal his brother's bethrothed and then threw her over when he became heir.

This story is a "grown up" story about real people who regardless of social status, wealth or poverty, family or no family, both suffer from their own carefully hidden versions of hell, how they express that hell, react to each other's ghostly memories then unite to form a solid front in an attempt exorcise their respective demons as well as those affecting others around them that they care about. After a short meeting enroute, Freyja encounters Joshua in Bath, setting the stage for the first of many hilarious misunderstandings-and a poignant mention in Alleyne's story in a later work.
Freyja is my favorite type of heroine- attractive, not beautiful; courageous, secure in her place within the family but deliberately tweeks society when it needs to be in order to hide her fear of emotional entanglements and hurts vis-a-vie once bitten- twice shy. It is only when she discovers that her Joshua is hiding behind a wall of projected frivolity & of emotional hurt as well that she allows herself to experience emotions in order to help him. Thus we get our first glimpse of the power and familial force of the Bedwyn clan---.which comprises most of the remaining 65-70% of the book and the reason it is one of my favorites, rivaling the final chapter in the series "Slightly Dangerous" for the complete family interactions.As with several of the works, the stories after overlap in one or more places that give a decided continuity to the entire series.
