LISA: Okay, as you can see by the schmaltzy cover, this is a bit out of my usual line of reading. But Amazon was offering discounts on romance novels, and well, I am always a sucker for a discounted romance! The premise is that there are twins -- and it is set in the late 1800's when being a woman basically sucked and you got bupkus. The twins are completely opposite; one is selfish and vain and the other is nerdish and wears glasses (so therefore despite being the spitting image of the beautiful one, she is considered not so much.) Anyway, the pretty twin Janette is going to marry some duke or earl, handsome as all get out, of course, but she has also been screwing around, which as we all know was JUST NOT DONE! She wants to travel and her husband to be drops a bomb the night before the wedding that they will not be able to travel abroad for their honeymoon right away because he has some troubles on one of his estates. She pouts, she gets pissy, then she convinces her twin Violet to take her place. And so Violet, who is not outgoing at all, has to pretend to be the social vixen her sister is. Except her husband really doesn't want that either -- so in the end, it all works out, as these things will. These things being discounted romances!!!
HALLIE: Pretty much summed up above. I think i read this is about 4 hours but definitely enjoyed it! Wish the whiny I'm sooo horrible cause I duped this wonderful man and now my life is ruined since he found out part was shorter but overall it was a nice beach read! Totally romance story!
