On the trail of her scheming husband, a wife discovers his twin is anything but identical.

Lady Olivia Shea soon sees that her brother-in-law, Samson Carlisle, may look like her husband Edmund, but the two are nothing alike, and Samson is the better man. Samson is also smitten with Olivia, at once jealous that his brother made such a catch and suspicious that she is part of a plot to steal from him...more

A rhythmic, lively and tender novel that once the last page is closed the reader is beaming with a huge smile on its face.
An olfactory and exotic voyage in the 19th century where the reader is shipped from London to Paris via Grasse (Southern France) in the company of Lady Olivia in search of her husband. A vicious villain, only interested in his wife's heritage, who humiliated her by deserting her on their wedding night.

I normally enjoy Adele Ashworth's books, and this one is not necessarily bad, but it is far from her best story. It is just a bit too busy.
There is the problem of Olivia not recognizing the differences between her husband Edmund and his identical twin Samson.

Picture this: sexy, stud duke that stares at you like you're the only thing he sees; he's got that hungry look in his eyes that makes you quiver to the tips of your toes and hidden girly-bits *grin*. Now imagine when he's got a twin!
Story goes... Sam Carlisle finds himself accosted/threatened/matched-up/confronted by Lady Olivia, who claims him to be her runaway, stealing, stupid, cheating, good-for-nothing-not-even-on-bed, absentee husband (yeah, I hate the guy!)...Sam defends himself and finds...more

All in all - good, decent. The first book in the trilogy I enjoyed much more. It took too long for the connection to blossom and for the sexual chemistry to spark. And, just like in book one, the ending left much to be desired. So disappointed. It was all wrapped up too conveniently and no epilogue!?!
Reads like a first or second draft that should have been re-worked at least once more. Not a keeper but not bad for an lazy afternoon read.
A really great read and series so far!
trilogia del duque
definitely a page turner!!!
France 1860 Heroine has been left on wedding night by her new husband. The "husband" has tricked her and stolen her family perfume company. Hero is scoundral's twin brother and together they seek revenge. I loved the story my only gripe is TMI on perfume production.
Autant, j'ai apprécié le 1er tome de la série, autant je n'ai pas accroché aux héros. Leur relation m'a parue froide et peu constructive. 2 étoiles parce que l'auteur écrit bien. Que c'est un bon livre pour qui aime les héros ambitieux.
I read this a few years ago but the review disappeared from by shelves. I remember I liked it and made note to look for other novels by this author.
Ça avait bien commencer et puis c'est retomber comme un soufflé:-(

Adele Ashworth has always felt she's led a rather dull life on her road to becoming a romance author. Unfortunately, she's also often been wrong.
From the first time she stepped onstage to sing Petula Clark's "Downtown" for a crowd (at the age of three in a Juarez, Mexico, hotel restaurant, dancing on the table at the urging of the Spanish-speaking waitresses), she knew she was destined to be a sin...more
