Welcome back to the romance world, Tanya Anne Crosby. Your latest novel is easy to read, and easy to like.

The story begins with a cruel ultimatum; a young mother must select which of her twins she will raise.

Years slip away. Merrick Welbourne, the crown prince of Meridian, traveling through northern Scotland, is seeking answers; however, he comes upon a greater entanglement - his identical twin, Ian. Chloe Simon, a physician's daughter, despises Ian MacEwen and solemnly vows, today, she will make him pay for his sins; however, she too comes upon a greater entanglement -- the incredible Merrick Welbourne.

Crosby's story is entertaining, but very light reading. The author dallies in the story of a "Robin Hood" highway man and his gang of compassionate thieves. The unselfish brigand is none other than the wealthy Ian MacEwen. MacEwen's criminal pursuit advances the secrets surrounding the entire storyline. An intriguing idea, but unfortunately when the reader closes the final page, the story is even more mysterious than when it began. Room for a sequel? Positively. Harlequin even gives the reader a sneak preview, but alas, this is here and now, and I want reading satisfaction not loose ends.

In spite of, Ms. Crosby is an easy writer, and her books are enjoyable.

Merrick Welbourne never expected to discover a long-lost twin. Particularly one who'd rob him and leave him senseless on the road. Now living his brother's aristocratic life, he had new trials, tribulations.. and temptations he'd never dreamed of. Not the least being Chloe Simon, she of rare mettle, proud heart and unmatched beauty.
Chloe Simon knew Lord Lindale was definitely not himself. After encountering the masked highwayman Hawk, he seemed different. More approachable. More.. desirable.

I have been a long time fan of this author so I was thrilled to find out that she was writing again! Her latest effort is a very sweet story with a "Robin Hood" theme that involves interesting characters, wonderful chemistry between Merrick and Chloe, and the added bonus of getting a sequal out of the entire deal.

This was a fast read and one that was entertaining. I look forward to Ian's story and highly recommend this read to anyone.
