Customer Reviews

This book is the BEST book I have ever read!!!!

I have read a million books, but, this book is by far the best that I have ever read! I bought this book for A REALLY GOOD PRICE and boy, what a steal!! This book is worth ten times what I paid for it!! Axton and Linnea were one of the most powerful couples that I have ever read about. I felt like I was there going through it all with them and I wanted to slap Linnea's grandmother(even though she got around to it eventually). Her family is so horrible. I cannot tell you how great of a book this is. You have to read it for yourself. I fell in love with Axton myself! And this is NOT one of those books where there are a thousand little misunderstandings that drive you crazy and have you beating your head against the wall by the end. It is a very well thought out book, set in a wonderfully romantic time, with two of the strongest lead characters that I have ever read about!! I have never read Rexanne Becnel before, but, I am buying all of her books and this one is going on my favorites pile to be read forty more times!!

A Book Highly Recommended

I bought this as a 2nd hand book and after reading it I was amazed on how good the story turned out to be. This book is worth more then the price it was given. The characters were unique especially Linnea. Her story made me laugh and the same time angry on how she was treated by Axton and her grandmother. The entire book was not just all about love but it also depicted the human history of multiple births. I highly recommend this book to all you people who believe that love conquers all!

LOVE AT FIRST READ!!!

I loved this book! Becnel wrote a fabulous story with great characters. You're won over by both Linnea and Axton. As a college student, I look for ways to escape stress and this certainly achieved that goal!!! I found myself wanting to be Linnea and to be wanted by Axton! One of the best romance novels EVER!

Definitely worth picking up!

This is the first book I've read by Ms. Becnel, and it certainly won't be the last! When Linnea, the second born of twin girls and supposedly cursed, finds out her sweet twin sister is to marry the man who takes over their castle, she makes a desperate switch and becomes the wife to the man who vowed revenge on their family. Because she is not Beatrix, the marriage is a farce and her family hopes to shame him. Although she sets out to hate him, her body betrays her and, finally, her heart. But when the truth of the deception is revealed, will she be able to hold up under her love's condemnation? Definitely a good romp, and a wonderful story. I'd recommend it to anyone who like medieval romance and strong heroines. Sarah Pearson

Wonderful!

Although I have only read two of Ms Becnel's books, she is one of my favorite authors. Her books keep me interested from beginning to end. I will definitely look for more of her books.
