I purchased this Duets because I love everything Barbara Dunlop writes -- always laugh out loud funny with off the wall characters. The Wish List Wife was true to form. Haley, who has sworn off men, decides to help her new neighbor Adam find a wife, using his own wish list. Haley herself doesn't meet any of the requirements but, guess what? True love finds a way around requirements. Mad about Mindy - and Mandy, has a similar matchmaker with a list theme. The results in that one are also hilarious.

Ms. Blake wows us once again with this wonderful, light-hearted, and very touching story, Mad About Mindy... and Mandy. This is a delightful book about a well-crafted character who finds true love as she discovers her hidden personality. It will leave you smiling and definitely wanting more from this gifted author. I want to see more books by this author!

What would you do if you could be someone else for an hour...a day...a week? Would you do something you've never dared before? Go someplace you've never ventured?

When Benton Maxwell III walks into her matchmaking service in search of the perfect 1950's wife, Mindy McCrae finds out what it's like to be someone else. Disguised as her imaginary twin sister Mandy, Mindy is determined to teach Benton that where the heart is concerned, there are no rules. What starts out as a lesson intended for Benton turns into a fun romp in discovering her inner self. And what Mindy finds is that there's a little bit of Mandy inside of her--and all of us--if we only let her out.

Two hilarious romances for the price of one. What a bargain! I enjoyed Mad About Mindy ... and Mandy the most of the two, but Wish-List Wife is also very funny! If you're looking for a good romance and a few great laughs, this is the book for you!

What a pleasure-filled read! Light-hearted and not the type of romantic comedy where the author is trying for punchlines all the time. This was truly enjoyable. Writing was crisp, dialogue was snappy, hero and heroine were realistic and lovable. Great read!

Like another reviewer said, both stories are great and packed with laughs, but I too enjoyed "Mad About Mindy..and Mandy", a little more. Perhaps, that is because that any book written by Toni Blake is a must grab for me! Her stories never dissapoint, and always have characters who pull you in and keep you entertained to the last page. Mindy/Mandy and Benton's story is lighthearted, funny romance at it's best. If this is your first time reading Toni Blake, I highly recommend her Harlequin Temptation titles, "Hotbed Honey", "Something Wild" and "Seducing Summer".
