Lately it seems to be the other way around with these wonderful hero and self-centered, conceited, stubbon, and annoying heroines.

It seems like its been awhile since I'[ve read a story and wondered if the hero was worthy of the heroine. I love stories about mousy or quiet heroine who get the guy and this story delivers. She also grows in the story to know herself better and grow out of the shell she surrounded herself with because of the psychological abuse of her family(they're all really critical of her). The heroine is smart, has a sense of humor, has empathy for those around her, and put's others first. The plot's been done before, but this is a really great version of it. The story shows how they grow to love each other and keeps the angst and drama going with him calling her by her sister's name in moments of passion and her worrying over him discovering the ruse. The book begins with the heroine pretending to be her sister and marrying the man she loves. And though he never planned on true love, Adrian is definitely in danger of losing his heart. Yet this marriage of convenience brings the groom more than he bargained for when he finds his sweet, innocent wife surprising him at every turn. Soon shy Violet is a high-society wife, trying to keep her real identity a secret while living out the fantasies of her wildest dreams.Īdrian thinks he knows exactly what he’s gotten himself into: Jeannette may be flighty and, well, a bit self-involved, but she’s the picture-perfect wife to carry on the Winter name. But when Jeannette refuses to go through with the ceremony mere minutes before it is to begin, soft-spoken Violet finds herself walking down the aisle and taking vows in her sister’s place. Problem is, he’s set to marry Violet’s vivacious, more socially polished look-alike twin sister, Jeannette. Violet Brantford has always longed for the passionate embrace of Adrian Winter, the wealthy Duke of Raeburn.
