I haven't read this one in years, but I remember really enjoying it. I wish I could find my copy so I could re-read it.

4/5 - In some weird way I liked this book.

This book is all the tropes I dislike - enemies to lovers and slow burn. Maybe it’s just holding an old Harlequin Romance paperback that’s influenced my like for the very bland story. Maybe it’s the respect I have for the OG romance authors that blazed the trail for what the romance genre is today.

I will say that Lucy’s sister Celia is the worst, but their mother is the worst, worst.

Also, has anyone noticed how long Lucy’s neck is on the cover? It just adds to the coolness of these old books.

Lucy's problem wouldn't go away

Bad enough that Celia, her identical twin, had jeopardized her marriage by having a brief holiday affair. Worse, she had used Lucy's name.

To protect Celia, Lucy had reluctantly pretended to be the ' girl Daniel Stewart had romanced in Cyprus. But trying to discourage the charming Daniel and send him packing proved difficult.

For once he had found his "Lucy" again, he insisted on remaining a part of her life!

A very charming book. Not much romance, but it’s a very convincing story. The story moves along sedately and there is a cute ending. All the characters are very real,The author sure can write very well.

[Feeling-bookish · Rating 2 out of 5]

Low-angst, high-misunderstandings romance. It was a good way to pass a few hours, not as good as some others by this author.
