sibling rivalry at its best!

Clarinda and Clarissa are Identical in looks, but that is where the similarities end. One twin loves adventure, book learning and riding horses without a saddle (astride no less!such shocking behavior!) thus making her the "bad twin" in her proper parents eyes. The other is inclined towards more lady like endeavors such as embroidery, music and water colors not to mention gossip, clothes and preening in front of her mirror thus making her the "good twin" When the handsome and very wealthy Robert, Lord Stormont takes over the neighboring estate he is immediately smitten with "the bad twin" the problem? both girls like him too; and one (the question is which one?) will stop at nothing to get her man. Who shall be the lucky twin? read this book and find out, it is a treat and an exciting ride from begining to end with a bit of intrigue and mystery thrown in.

Sibling rivalry at its most sinister best!

With a writing style that is both humorous and provocative, Shirley Kennedy has set a new standard for Regency Romance. Her heroine is smart and saucy. . . with a sense of humor which sets her above and apart. The hero is strong, yet vulnerable, and unquestionably sexy! The clever twists and turns throughout the story were fun, refreshing, and kept me riveted to page after page. The only disappointment was that the story had to come to an end. I look forward eagerly to Ms. Kennedy's next novel.

A MUST READ

I am not a fan of Regency books. However, a few years ago a friend gave me a copy of Shirley Kennedy's first book "Lady Semple's Secret." I reluctantly read it only to find myself totally immersed in the story. When I finished, I was so impressed I bought several copies as gifts to relatives and friends. Then I bought her second book "The London Belle" and loved it too. Shirley's books are keepers. Yesterday I finished reading "The Rebellious Twin." This is my favorite of the three. I love "two dogs and a bone" stories and Rebellious Twin is just that, with a lot of jealously and other conflict building treats thrown into the mix. This is a terrific read with a real surprise twist at the end. I'm pleased to log on here and put it in writing. A true fan.
