![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Since I've previously reviewed only one of the Bedwyn books, I'll give a brief description of each book in the series prior to Slightly Dangerous. Case in point, Slightly Dangerous is an absolutely delightful conclusion to Mary Balogh's Bedwyn Saga, which probably isn't technically a saga, but I'll allow it because at least one Bedwyn sibling is named after an ancient Norse goddess and stuff actually happens in the series, unlike in the Twilight books.īut that's neither here nor there. It is possible, though, to create a good or even excellent finale. The first was dragged down by its vinegar-soaked wet blanket of a heroine the second suffered from fatally bad pacing and a convoluted plot. I've previously reviewed two romance series finales: the mediocre Simply Perfect and the slightly more mediocre Wed Him Before You Bed Him. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The volume comprises fifteen essays, written by a team of specialists, and is intended to develop the violin's historical perspective in breadth and from every relevant angle.
