Pertenece a las seriesThe MacGalloways (4)
When Lord Andrew MacGalloway agrees to attend a house party, posing as his twin, he does so with good intentions. After all, it wouldn't be fair to his brother's fiancé if he did not assume his twin's mantle. Though an inconvenience, he fully intends to make the event pleasant for Miss Eugenia Radcliffe, engaging her in idle chat, long, chaperoned walks, and dancing the appropriate number of waltzes.Except carefully laid plans when one is impersonating his brother tend to go awry, especially given identical twins are not exact replicas of one another.When Eugenia discovers Andrew is not the man to whom she is betrothed, she is humiliated and distraught. Prior to arriving at the party, she suspected her fiancé would not honor his promise of marriage, and now she has proof.With no other choice, Eugenia renounces the engagement. Unable to remain in Scotland a moment longer, she flees. Andrew feels dreadful for this untoward turn of events and races after the lass, determined to save her from ruin. But does the resolute beauty want to be rescued by the dashing Highlander, or might she have other adventures in mind? No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The MacGalloways 4
Not sure why memories of The Patty Duke Show popped up as I read this story, but they did. Perhaps it is the twin-lookalike thing even though Patty and her cousin were identical and not siblings. Perhaps it was their age that kept me from thinking first of the movie The Parent Trap. For whatever reason…I enjoyed both the show and movie and this book, too.
A game of chess, a wager, and twins swapping places is a setup for disaster and we know that going in but just how the disaster will play out and how all will be resolved is what this story is all about. Twins can look alike, might be able to play the part of one another for a limited period of time, would more than likely want to support one another, but when a woman and love enter the situation…hmm…
Philip is serious, reserved, horse-mad, a numbers guy, and probably will change a LOT if/when he finally truly falls in love. I do wonder what type of woman will appeal to him. Perhaps a horse-made female but then again, I am sure we will find out in his book when it is written.
Andrew is outgoing, a people pleaser, observant, and social. He truly ‘sees’ Eugenia and begins to fall for her even though he is trying to just play the part of his brother for a few days. The two brothers are close but perhaps not as close as they could be…I would like to know more about them and what their lives were like before this story begins.
Eugenia is quiet, tries to avoid confrontation, is undervalued by her mother and younger sister, and has dreams that she hopes to fulfill. She is unsure of Philip’s desire to marry and is setting up options for herself…just in case. I admired her for her willingness to step out on her own but wonder if she too readily made her move and might have benefited by a bit of talking before walking.
The disaster created by stepping into his brother’s shoes is eventually resolved and a happy ending is achieved, but the brothers are both put through a bit of trouble before everything turns out right for the happy couple.
Thank you to NetGalley, Oliver Heber Books, and the author for the ARC – this is my honest revies.
