I like good romantic novels and this one seems to be very interesting. I sympathize with Miranda and hope she will find her love. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

If I was Miranda would be really heartbroken. From your review I can practically feel Miranda's hurt and pain and I can't wait to read the book. A part of me blames Roger's gut and Cindy's insensitivity to her sister's feelings. Miranda was really strong to hold it in ti after their wedding.

It's very interesting that guy asked the girl if he could date her sister. It comes to a very good story. This looks like a fine read with no difficult matters.

I noticed your summary was long, but it was fine. I liked that you showed us an excerpt to explain to us how you felt about the explicit or erotic scenes.

The plot is very original. I can easily feel how Miranda is torn between wanting her sister to be happy and losing the love of her life.

It is so relieving to see a book that does not focus on sex, sex, and more sex. Miranda only wants her sister to be happy, but sadly, she sacrificed some of her own happiness while doing so. Will Miranda find it again? Thanks for the review!

Miranda strikes me as an intriguing person. Fans of the genre should like this terrific character-driven drama, it seems. I might look into this one later. I'll probably read this one. I really want to see Miranda find love and happiness for herself, and your description of her has already made me love her. This sounds like a fantastic book.

Thank you for the review! Having a romance novel that doesn't use sex to potray love has been a hard find for me but this review gave me something i definetly want to read. My heart aches for Miranda because she feels that she has to hide how she truly feels to make those around her (mainly her sister) happy all the time.

I don't think it will be easy to allow your sister date the person you love so much. Nice review. I love the storyline.

This sounds like an engaging story. It must be hard to keep your feeling hidden from your twin. I appreciate that the author presented the passion in the story without erotic sex. Sometimes, less is more. Thank you for a wonderful review, and congrats on BOTD.

Set in Oregon and filled with descriptive details and scenes, today's BOTD is a romance novel that focuses in on a set of twins who are both in love with the same man. Readers will love the plot twists and surprises and will find the characters and dialogue relatable. I don't usually chose this genre, but I might give this one a try! Thanks for the helpful review!! :-)

Might be quite the book, because storyline looks to have enough intrigue to hold the interest of the readers and entertain them at the same time. I only hope that author didn't indulge in overly explicit content and it didn't go out of the frames of propriety like many others admittedly do nowadays.
