Customer Reviews

Captivating and emotionally moving love story.

This is one of the most captivating and emotionally moving love stories from a Refreshing Christain perspective. Molly Noble Bulls ability to simultaneously develop two plots and move from one into the other with such ease all while keeping the reader totally captivated was quite incredible. I highly recommend this wonderful love story!

Inspiring, faith-lifting story

This delightful story follows two heroines through their trials of faith and love; Ms. Bull tackles this difficult plot with fresh insight and exciting twists and turns. She has the gift of allowing us to know and like both sisters, and she writes of lovely places which we'd like to visit. The two heroes are the kind of men any woman would adore. Her other, lesser characters really make this story more colorful. The church and Hollywood settings are realistic and believable. The inspirational message is beautifully woven throughout the story. I've recommended this book, and have bought copies for friends.

An uplifting and entertaining read with a message.

Identical twin sisters, separated at birth, find each other as adults. One is a famous movie star, freshly dumped by her boyfriend and in serious need of a rest; the other, a small town church librarian. Knowing her sister needs to know God even more than she needs normalcy and a good rest, the church librarian and dedicated Christian, Holly, convinces her sister to trade identities for six months. Suzann Condry, the movie star, agrees, enchanted by the prospect of a normal life. However, the handsome assistant pastor at the church in Oak Valley, Texas, Josh Gallagher, takes notice of the slight change in "Holly," and soon finds himself preaching sermons about how a man will know the one woman God intends to be his wife. In the meantime, the real Holly discovers her own true love in the form of pediatrician Shawn McDowell, who was assigned to help her negotiate the pitfalls of Hollywood. But again, the slight differences in the new "Suzann" attract the attention of Suzann's old flame, a handsome star who sees getting Suzann back as just another ploy to obtain publicity. Both sisters have their problems as they negotiate each other's life and work through their own problems. Suzann discovers God is indeed real and does care for her, and that she's worthy of a good man's love, while Holly finds that true love stands by her through facing her worst fears. By the time of the big double wedding at the end, both sisters have learned a lot about life and love, and each other. I enjoyed this book thoroughly, and found myself rooting for each sister as she confronted her worst fears during the process of finding true love and happiness.

She captures you from the first sentence!

Molly Bull captures you from the first sentence with everyone's most cherished fantasy -- to live someone else's life. Add to that not one, but TWO, captivating romances, and you have a story to keep you entranced until the last page. She wastes no words as she keeps the story moving along until its "twin" satisfing conclusions. A must read!

A really fun, believable romp.

This was a really fun book, with interesting characters and a plot that sounds totally unreal, made believable. Ms. Bull actually made the life of a small-town church librarian more exciting than that of a Hollywood movie star. Romance and yummy heroes for two.
