Cuando se van a casa de su tía y conoce a Chad, la protagonista se siente traída por él. Para evitar los ataque de esa aprende a anularse vistiéndose de forma poco atractiva y ocultando su rostro con unas gafas que no necesita. Dos gemelas que se llevan mal, opuestas, una egoísta y arrogante, la hija mimada de un hombre acaudalado y la otra ha crecido sabiendo que su padre solo quería a su hermana. Se centra sobre todo en los personajes, que la verdad, merecen la pena. La vida allí es muy interesante, ciertamente, de eso no vemos mucho. Visto de forma objetiva, no es la mejor historia romántica sobre este género del oeste, pero merece la pena y me parecen muy curiosos los personajes que se retratan. Cuando empecé esta historia no esperaba que me gustase tanto y que me crease tantas expectativas a medida que avanzaba. He leído varios libros de Johanna Lindsey y aunque la mayoría me han gustado, no la tengo presente por ser una de mis autora favoritas. Una historia ambientada en el oeste, una novela histórica y romántica que me ha sorprendido bastante porque no esperaba que esta autora me gustara tanto. This was best illustrated by Marian's reasoning as to why she dons her glasses and acts like a shrew. There are a lot of times where the book depends on the reader buying the book's logic. It was entertaining enough but it depended a lot on misunderstandings. Other parts of the book were entertaining. Neither were prepared to let the other one know. Some parts were tedious, as the one sister had more than one instance of fighting with the man she loved. An entertaining novel featuring twin females. But all things change quickly when the father suddenly dies from a tragic accident. Amanda and Marian Laton are raised by their narcissistic father that ignores Marian and dotes on Amanda. So this book centers (sort of) around the relationship between Amanda and Marian Laton, an interesting one, might I add. They're both stunning women, one just tones down her looks while the other enhances and flaunts it as much as humanly possible. I love that the synopsis describes the girls as one plain and the other beautiful - when they're identical twins. She's a klutz with glasses - and then they get sent to the wild west because of their father's death leaving them destitute or something (I forget the contrived premise). She is just hoping and praying for her sister to get married and torment someone else. The evil one is the one that is spoiled and the good one lives in such fear of incurring the jealous rage of her sister that she makes herself as unappealing as possible. This story features a set of twins - one evil, one good. From the vernacular used, it felt like 1970-ish, but then we were traveling by stagecoach, and I realized that something was off. More, the author's writing was so badly done that it took quite a few pages for me to figure out what era this was even written in. It got very over-the-top.Īlso, Miss I-can't-see-thru-these-glasses is supposed to be so clumsy and accident-prone, but then at the same time she's this incredible painter who can do miniatures that look EXACTLY like the people that she can't. And then it went into the whole 'which twin am I with' thing, which led to an almost shotgun wedding (and an actual shotgun wedding) and. Especially when the good one was only bitchy for something like two days of the book, and. Except now we have TWO bitchy sisters, and the real bitchy one looks nice and. to help chase away anyone who might be interested beyond the looks thing. She takes it further, and makes the good one pretend to be bitchy, too. (?!) The good one wears frumpy clothing, no make-up, severe hair, and glasses she can't see through to make herself look ugly, because her sister is cruel and jealous and will hurt any man who pays attention to her sister.īut that isn't enough for the author. there were problems, too.įirst this is the story of twins - the good/sweet one, and the hellion one.
It was a formula book done over okay, but.
