I remember reading this book and I enjoy reading the story. And I enjoy the characters in this series of Twin Brides.
Totally Unbelievable, but I Loved it
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I think the absolute worst kind of book is the arranged marriage romance novel. Especially the kind where the heroine is somehow forced to wed an overbearing bully of a man. I believe these are written for women in abusive relationships, who fantasize about someday reforming the devil they've been enslaved to, knowing in their heart of hearts they never will. Romances are fun, enjoyable and thrilling reads when done right and thankfully they usually are. That said, I was prepared not to like this book, but Ms. Winters put a new twist on the arranged marriage bit that managed to overcome my prejudice. I'm bursting with the desire to tell you what it is, but then I'm afraid that you wouldn't seek out this really good story. I will say, however, that it's about two twins, Callie who is responsible, Ann who is not. Ann sets herself up so she is forced to marry a handsome prince, but because she's been given a big brake in the movie biz, she talks Callie into going in her place and then this story takes off. Yes it was completely and totally unbelievable from the get go, but I loved it. Silly me, go figure. But there you have it, an arranged marriage romance that isn't trash.

I'm in daily e-mail contact with all or most of the Harlequin Dreamers and we, to a girl, agree that the absolute worst kind of book is the arranged marriage romance novel. Especially the kind where the heroine is somehow forced to wed an overbearing bully of a man. We believe these are written for women in abusive relationships who fantasize about someday reforming the devil they've been enslaved to, knowing in their heart of hearts they never will.

Five big stars from Mika for this one.
Most enjoyable read

A most enjoyable read. You slip rignt into the heroine's shoes for the whole book. She's non-traditional--a vet and motorcycle enthusiast. I had to look on Danelli on the web to see if the company really existed; it was so believable and beautifully done.
Award winning read
