Very cute book, it was a great way to waste an afternoon! A bit of a whirlwind romance, I'm surprised they didn't end up at a drive-thru wedding chapel in Vegas. I'm hoping there's a book #2 and #3, there are a couple of characters I wouldn't mind having books all to themselves.

Great story...I have been waiting for this one to come out. Charlotte and Phillip seemed like such strong characters in Maxwell's previous book, The Price of Indescretion.

He to find his twin, thought to have died at birth, she to meet the Laird MacKenna at his invitation. The end up on the same coach and the fun begins.

Pretty good read. Very fast. The story line was light, but flowed well. I never felt as if the story dragged or ran amock. The hero / heroine relationship developed nicely, and i liked seeing that the characters were able to change without some of the overwhelming hard-headedness necessary as conflict in other stories.

Great Regency historical! Type is larger than most, so it's very easy on the eyes.

I was so excited when I started reading Maxwell, thinking I have found a new author. Now I am beginning to think she is one of those that just recycles the same ideas over and over again.

If you have read "The Lady is Tempted," you have basically read this book. It the same down to the ending scene except this one was written better. Charlotte is a stronger and wittier version of Deb. Phillip is just like Mr. Aldercy forcing Charlotte to become a mistress instead of a wife. At least he doesn't harp on how Charlotte isn't good enough to be his wife as much as Mr. Aldercy did. Their love scenes were also better, more loving.

So even though I enjoyed it more than "The Lady is Tempted" and it was definitely more fun, I still gave it a rather low rating because Maxwell basically swindle me with selling me the same book with some minor changes. I will check out a few more of her books from the library but I definitely wouldn't waste any credits or real money on her in case she doesn't have any new ideas.

By the way, the ending is left somewhat opened. Maybe it will be addressed in the next book.

This is the second book featuring the Cameron sisters but the third of four in a series. The first book introduces Michael and Isabel who play a role in "The Price of Indiscretion". The other books are : "Temptation of a Proper Governess", "The Price of Indiscretion" (Miranda) and "In the Highlander's Bed" (Constance). I did not read the first book and don't think it is necessary in order to follow the series but it would be helpful to read the Cameron Sister's in order.

This is my favorite author ever. I love all her books. This one is my least favorite.
