I re-read this book because it's one of my favorite romances, I just love Violet and Adrian! The characters are super fun, and the story, though contrived, is entertaining and has a bit of a different take on it. Violet is the perfect heroine - completely sympathetic without being a doormat. Adrian is lovable and virile without being overbearing. I also love Horatio's side-story - I'm such a sucker for dog rescues!
The second book in the trilogy is NOT worth reading. Violet's sister is unlikable in this book as well as the second one, so I'll probably skip that book in the series and go straight to #3, about Kit and Elsa.
Tracy Anne Warren is one of my favorite authors for historical romance.

Overall I throughly enjoyed this book, my only real complaint being the ending because it fails to show the aftermath. It's one of those stories that could really use an epilogue.

This is the first romance novel in a long time that had me worried about how the characters were going to work out the "big issue" of the plot. My first Tracy Anne Warren book, and definitely won't be my last!

I have picked this book only because it features one of my favorite romance plots - twins switch.
It was not bad, but it had a feel of an old-fashion HR.

Beautiful romance thats sure to keep you entertained and turning the page then feel as if you never wanted it to end.
I really liked the way the story was set up for the reader. It jumped right into the story and kept the perfect pace to keep the reader entertained and the story moving along without being too mind numbingly slow but still getting in all points to make the story understandable.
Even better is that the story itself isn't one that needs something like spies or realy dark secrets and people out to kill each other to keep it interesting. It is that I think that makes this books so great becuase it doesn't need to be dressed up with wild rides (even though I love those books). It's difficult to find a ordinary story that is made extrodinary. It takes a talented writter to create that sort of story and Warren is definately one of them.
Character wise I had a huge issue with names. i couldn't get over the WAY too similar names for the twins. No mother would do that...with only a single 'e' seperating the names. It drove me crazy. In the case of Jeanette I think its intersting how much I can't stand her in this first book (I read the second first) while I loved her in her story. It makes it all the more enjoyable to know how much she grew from being such a disliked character to a great one that I enjoyed.
Kit, what more can I say other than he's awesome and i can't wait to read his story.
Violet was the stort of character I absolutely loved to see grow and prove to herself that she can be more than what people think of her. I liked watching her grow more confident in herself as she grew more condifent in her love for Adrian and their relationship grew. She is just one of those well rounded characters that you just want to see grow and get all the better as the story progresses. Adrian I love as well. He's not one of those dark brooding heros that are so often seen in romance novels. Instead like Violet he's very human and very likeable. There is no real barrier between them as they grow to love each other openly however more reluctantly on his end. When the big secret is revealed to Adrian it is a test of their relationship but the big push that he needs to realize what could've happened if he had made the choice he thought he had and what he would've given up. Their relationship is so beutiful I totally fell in love with them.
