3.0 out of 5 stars uhhhh, November 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Fugitive Bride (The Australians) (Harlequin Presents) (Paperback)

This book isn't bad. It is fast paced and keeps your interest. The plot is the heroine leaves her husband when she overhears him saying he doesn't really love her and only married her as a convenience. A few months later she bumps into a man who looks just like her husband, only he says he's her husbands twin. They begina steamy affair and eventually she finds out the man really is her husband and he has no twin. This kind of makes me think the heroine is a complete idiot. For one thing, the hero never mentions that he has a twin. For another, how can the heroine who has been married to the guy, been intimate with him, not realize it is the same man? I thought this made the heroine seem really dense.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mid-life crisis, December 4, 2002

This review is from: Fugitive Bride (The Australians) (Harlequin Presents) (Paperback)

Back Cover description: In bed with her husband...? Gerard Woodward was the husband Leah had dreamed of--handsome, powerful and wealthy. Until she overheard something that made her realize he'd ruthlessly seduced her into marriage for his own ends. She decided to go... Six months later the fugitive bride comes face-to-face with her husband once more. Well, he looks like he husband, he makes love like her husband...but he claims he's her husband's twin brother!

This story got 2 stars because I agree with the reviewer from Seattle--this heroine is dense. Leah can't figure out that if she hasn't seen her husband for 6 months, the guy just might have had an accident? The story might have been better if Leah realized this and just played along to see what happens. Sort of 'cat playing with mouse' plot--how far will the hero go to regain his love. Not a bad story, just frustrating.

This review is from: Fugitive Bride (The Australians) (Harlequin Presents) (Paperback)

Leah overhears her husband saying that pretty much...he didn't love her. She, being heartbroken, leaves him, determined to start over. Months later a man who looks exactly like her husband turns up and convinces her that he is Gerard's estranged twin brother.

To be fair to Leah, when everyone she needed to confirm or deny this is in on the ruse except for her, and they convince her that her doubts are unjustified, that Gerard must in fact have a twin, I can't really fault her for believing him.

No, the problem I had was not so much that she believed the lie, or the fact that she has an 'affair' with a guy who is the spitting image of her husband, no, my real issue is Gerard being such a slimeball that he set out to trick his wife into thinking he was someone else. How about you approach like a real man and beg her forgiveness, beg her for a chance to see you've changed.

But no. Instead, he goes about trying to convince her he's a changed man...a better man, by lying and deceiving her. Hello? Now what could possibly go wrong with that scenario. Yet another jerk for a Harlequin hero.

Three stars because it was page turning and the sex scenes were steamy.
