There he was captured and tortured by the French leaving him with one arm, one eye and scars bad enough to repulse strangers. Sydnam Butler is the younger brother in “A Summer to Remember.” He had wanted to be a painter but headed off to the Peninsular Wars to prove his manhood. Anne Jewell is the unwed mother introduced in “Slighty Scandalous” who became a teacher at a school for young ladies in Bath. “Simply Love” involves two characters familiar to long time readers of Mary Balogh’s single title “Slighty” series. But it did make reading the book much easier when I could skip whole scenes of sugary sweetness, Bedwyn style.
