5.0 out of 5 stars
Leslie Kelly's BEST book, June 9, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Two to Tangle (Paperback)
I discovered this Harlequin author about two years ago and have read every one of her books. They're funny and sweet and unpredictable. This is my absolute favorite. In Two To Tangle (the PERFECT title for this plot), the 'wrong bed' mix up is adorable and sexy and left me with that special feeling that I am in on the "secret" and I couldn't wait for the characters to figure it all out. Very sexy, like all of Kelly's books, but this one has a special emotional kick and a delicious mix-up that kept me smiling all the way through. From the rainstorm to the roses, this book is a blast!

This time the wrong bed involves the boss's twin brother..., September 1, 2003
This review is from: Two to Tangle (Paperback)
"The Wrong Bed" sub-series of the Harlequin Temptation volumes are romances in which the sex comes before the love, usually as a result of happenstance. The first two of these romances I read both involved love making in the dark where one of the parties was greatly surprised when the lights came on. In "Two To Tangle" Leslie Kelly comes up with a different way of getting her heroine, Chloe Weston, into this predicament. Chloe is a window dresser at Langree's Department store. Working late at night arranging a new display, she is intrigued to see her boss, Troy Langree, changing a tire in front of the store during a rainstorm with his shirt off. The sight not only makes Chloe think of pagan rain worshippers but actually makes her whimper. More importantly she has to seriously revive her opinion about her stuffy boss, especially when he hits on her at a convention at the Dolphin Island Resort. When he introduces himself as "Trent," she figures he is aware that this is stepping over the bounds of boss-employee relationships, so she plays along and says her name is "Claudia." Despite the persistent voice of Sister Mary Frances warning her to be a good girl, "Claudia" and "Trent" have a great time. The only problem is that her pagan love god's name really is Trent and he is Troy's twin brother.
By now I understand that the readers of romances demand lots of complications and Kelly throws a whole bunch between Chloe and Trent, especially once she comes to the stunning realization that the man of her dreams is not who she thought he was. However, the best part of "Two to Tangle" is the concerted effort by Trent to convince Chloe that the right twin is not the Tony (sorry, you knew I had to try something like that). Trent fully appreciates the situation in which Chloe finds herself, even if she starts to forget it after her initial shock wears off. Yes, Tony tries to cause trouble, but fortunately Kelly makes that a minor sideshow. However, it seems that the fateful meeting between Chloe and her pagan was not merely a happy accident.
I like the way Kelly exploits the specifics of the situation with these two, what with her being a window dresser and he being the brother of the store's manager. What I especially liked was that Trent catches on to the confusion that is overwhelming Chloe, gives her space, and then begins his romantic campaign to convince her that everything that has gone wrong can be put to rights. There are none of the silly arguments that happen when human males start thinking with their lower brain, and a guy could actually do some of the romantic things Trent comes up with (even if they do not have access to a department store). "Two To Tangle" manages to avoid having the contrivances get in the way of the romance and there is plenty of romance to go along with the steamy little sex scenes. The result is an above average Harlequin Temptations tale and the best of "The Wrong Bed" stories I have read to date.
As for brother Troy, he gets brought down by outrageous bad girl Venus Longotti (you have to love that name) in Leslie Kelly's "sequel" to this tale, "Into the Fire."

sexy and LOL funny, June 4, 2002
This review is from: Two to Tangle (Paperback)
Although I've loved all Leslie Kelly's books, this is my favorite so far. It had me chuckling from the first page and soon laughing out loud. I fell in lust with Trent right along with Chloe, and you will too! The secondary characters are a real hoot, so I was delighted to see there will be a sequel coming soon. I can't wait to see the other twin meet his match!
