it was good, this is the first book by Emma Darcy that i have read and i could tell that she will be an interesting author to read about.this story is about Kristy who changed her traveling plans and decided to stay in geneva she didn't know that this was going to be the turning point of her life. It turns out that she has twin and that there are secrets that are yet to be discovered about her former life before she got adopted and discover what happened to her twin who suddenly disappered for two years without a trace leaving behind two precious gifts, and one heck of a husband.

I don't like to give away much plot-line, because I find it can ruin the enjoyment of surprise; so I like to share thoughts & impressions of a book, instead--especially if someone has already gone over the main points.

If you are tired of a woman being a push-over, then you should love this book. Kristy is a force to be reckoned with, and I really liked her style of not backing down or being intimidated by *anybody* she came in contact with. There were some surprises in this book because of that different type of personality than the normal Harlequin heroine character, and some of them took getting used to, which I liked, also.

I felt like I knew the 2 main characters, Kristy and Armand, quite well by the end of the book; and fell in love with their love story. There were some wonderful divine interventions or coincidences in this book, which gave it a special quality I have never come across in this type of book, before.

The story takes place in France, with the main hero Armand a native. There is some satisfying verbal butt-kicking that the heroine does against those who hurt a relative she never met, and I was *so* glad not to see another woe-is-me victim that still maintained her femininity & charm. Too many times there are unresolved issues that leave us feeling unsatisfied, so seeing every important loose end tied up was fantastic.

Emma Darcy has a winner in this book. I hope many people will buy it and enjoy it, like I did!

A Marriage BetrayedThis is a sick plot. This story is about a woman, Kristy, who visits someplace in honor of her adopted parents and runs into the husband of her identical twin Collette (that she never knew she had). The romance is between this woman Kristy and the husband (Armand) of the twin...the twin who disappeared from the marriage two years prior and he never heard from again. The twin left him with two kids without a trace. Why would anyone think this type of plot is anyway romantic I really don't know. Sounds more like a tragic thriller.
