About the book...
Hope Webb can’t believe her twin sister, Jackie, is begging her to swap places and play fiancée at Jackie’s pre-wedding festivities. Sure, it’s only a business-deal sort of marriage, but Hope is a carb-loving teacher who enjoys curling up with a good book. Jackie is a workaholic whose idea of a good time is a brisk five-mile run at the crack of dawn. The two sisters couldn’t be more opposite.

Now Hope is stuck in the middle of a warm, tight-knit family she can’t help but adore and a groom who turns out to be entirely wonderful...for her.

Hotel magnate Brent Albright knows something is off about his fiancée, but he doesn’t care. Gone is the driven woman with similar career goals, and in her place is someone warm and funny who not only charms his family but him as well. She’s doing everything she can to avoid him, but that’s probably just nerves. Two people about to wed couldn’t know each other less.

Now Brent is determined to woo his fiancée, for real this time, because the more he gets to know her, the more his sweet fiancée turns out to be entirely wonderful...for him.

And that’s when things start to get really complicated...

Here comes the bride...but is it really?

Talk about a case of mistaken identity, only the mistake was easy enough to make considering the circumstances.  When you have identical twins, stepping in for one another is part of the game, I'd imagine...but what starts as a way of Hope helping out her sister Jackie, soon becomes something so much more DANGEROUS than a stand-in bridal week appearance or two.  What's at stake?  Only the greatest thing of all...their hearts...and I do mean ALL of them.

When I reached a certain point towards the beginning of the book, I honestly couldn't fathom how the rest was going to unfold.  It seemed there as simply too many pages left to fill with not enough story to tell...and yet, it worked.  We get to know the sisters for who they are individually, not simply their easily confused exteriors.  We get to know Brent (*sigh*), the groom-to-be, and his entire family, while finally making some sense of the great showdown supposedly brewing between the real bride and his Grandmother.  We get all the feels as Hope begins to get her heart entwined in everything transpiring, and Brent considers the possibility of something more from his marriage than he had at first set his eyes on.  We have the highs (that picnic!), the middle humdrums of happiness (falling in love with the groom-to-be AND his family...could you get more perfect...well, if you were actually the bride!), and the lows (I'm not even going to mention them because you'll get there soon enough if you read it)...all wrapped up in a gorgeous package, just begging to be read from cover to cover.

So if you're looking for a sweet romance with the potential for over the top happiness and heartbreak, this is definitely the story for you!  For readers concerned with the heat factor, this one is definitely low on the blush scale, but filled to the brim with heart!
