This is a dodgy romance novel - for the love of god stop trying to make sense of it! As in, George hired men to kill his older-by-3-minutes twin, Richard, and then took his place. It's not her dead husband, Dicky, it's his twin brother, Richard! And Dicky wasn't actually Dicky, he was the evil twin, George. Where they promptly run into her not-so-dead husband. So they put her dead husband on ice and head out to a ball. Sadly, her little sister needs to find a guy to marry (who will agree to her terms) in order to save the family estate. Until the day her sisters come to visit with some terrible news about their father's gambling problem.Īt which point, Dicky drank some booze and dropped dead. Dicky was a complete horror to live with and isolated her from her family and friends. It's just that there was never a moment that I thought they were anything except two really great people who were happy to make the best out of being stuck with each other.

I'm not a big believer in that one person for me kind of love. Don't get me wrong, she's nice and he's nice, but there's nothing in this that made me think they were soulmates or something. The downside for me personally, was the actual romance. The upside is, if you are into fucknut crazy stories, then this has all the things. This one has a wacky soap opera plot going for it, so if you're not on board with that sort of thing you're going to want to abandon ship quickly.
