Thursday's Child: A Novel
With forty-four New York Times bestselling novels to her credit, Sandra Brown is one of romance’s best-loved authors. She has been hailed by Rendezvous magazine as an author whose “larger than life heroes and heroines make you believe all the warm, wonderful, wild things in life.”
Sexy, funny, and wonderfully romantic, here is the unforgettably sensuous story of a woman too smart to fall in love — and the man determined to prove her wrong.
Thursday’s Child
Allison Leamon knew that pretending to be her identical twin sister was a bad idea. For although the two redheads looked exactly alike, they couldn’t be more different. How could a no-nonsense scientist like Allison possibly fool anyone into thinking that she was the bubbly, vivacious Annie?
Trading her sensible shoes for strappy sandals, her eyeglasses for contacts, and her lab smock for a chiffon dress, Allison was determined to try her best. Her first challenge was a dinner date with Annie’s fiancé, Davis. But what Allison didn’t expect was the presence of Davis’s best friend.
Allison was far too logical to believe in love at first sight, but there was nothing logical about the way she was responding to Spencer Raft. The dark-haired, blue-eyed mystery man had an assurance that Allison found positively maddening.
And by the end of the evening, she couldn’t help feeling that Spencer had been attracted to a carefully constructed illusion. She was certain that the handsome adventurer wouldn’t give her a second look if he knew her as she really was.
But Spencer Raft was a man of many talents — and seeing below the surface of things was one of them. He sensed the flesh-and-blood woman beneath the elaborate charade, and after years of wandering the world in search of excitement, he knew he had finally found what he had been looking for.
But first this incurable romantic had to convince an intractable skeptic that there was more to love than what she could study in a laboratory. And what better way than to propose a passionate experiment of his own?
On board his yacht, Spencer and Allison would fulfill their wildest fantasies and deepest desires; but when their blissful idyll was over, would it all prove to be no more than a pleasant interlude — or the real thing?

I liked this book and I couldn't put it down. But I honestly have to say I was almost repelled by Spencer initially. I mean ugh! Even if you are strongly attracted to your best friend's fiancee', that doesn't mean you have a right to pursue that and wreck his engagement because you feel like you have a stronger bond with the woman than your friend. He didn't respect boundaries at all. Keep your octopus hands to yourself dude! I think his insistence on honesty came out of a sense of self-indulgence, arrogance and not true honor. If he was the better man he would have walked away. I wasn't sure I wanted him to be the hero of this book until well into the story. I thought Allison was much too good for him. He gave me this skeevy vibe that I couldn't get past. Towards the end of the book I felt better towards him, but I can't say I love him as a hero. He is merely okay to me. When I finished this book, I shrugged and thought, "If that's what she wants, okay." If I had a choice, I would have gone for a different hero with a lot more class than Spencer (and I'm not talking money and polish).
I really liked Allison. Despite her insecurities, she was twice the woman her sister was. Her sister had the same level of intelligence, but seemed kind of shallow, and I feel that her guilting her sister into pretending to be her with her fiance' was selfish and immature. Why would you do that to your sister? Put her in that situation, just so you could get a for your fiance' and not be sensitive to the distress you were causing her? I loved when Allison finally got fed up with both guys and came clean on the switch. That was the best part of the book. If I am going to be honest, I might as well lay it out here. My sister would never want me to go off to have a fling with a sleazy guy who was hitting on his best friend's fiancee'! I'd want him to stay far away from my sister, not helping her buy sexy clothes and unpacking her bras when she went off for her fling. Honestly, I don't find her sister's fiance' to be a deep man either. I hope they will be happy together in their shallowness. Your mileage may vary.
This book was pretty darn steamy. For a book written in 1985, I was like, wow. Very sensual. Sandra Brown knows how to write some sexy romance! I liked the voyage of discovery for Allison, and I liked that she realized that her life was a lot more open to possibilities than she could imagine. But I also liked that she did fall in love with Spencer instead of just being hot for him. That would have made the whole situation a lot more tawdry in my view than it had the potential to be. It was also a saving grace that Spencer clearly did fall in love Allison as well, instead of just being on the make. If not, I think I might have used this book as a hockey puck based on how he was acting at the beginning.
I think the fact that I enjoyed this book despite having very little respect for most of the characters is a sign of good writing by the author. If I just go with the flow, I can think of this as a fun, grown up version of The Parent Trap with a little bit of Love Potion No. 9 thrown in. A good oldie by this very popular and talented author.

Allison Leamon knew that pretending to be her identical twin sister was a bad idea. For although the two redheads looked exactly alike, they couldn’t be more different. How could a no-nonsense scientist like Allison possibly fool anyone into thinking that she was the bubbly, vivacious Annie?
Yes it was cheesy, yes it was corny, yes it was dated, yes it was goofy. I liked it.
The book is 30 years old. Could you tell? Yes. But it brought me back to my teenage years. These are the books I read back then. I used to sneak them from my neighbour as my mother hated me reading them. They were interfering with my study time and they were trashy books. I loved them. I don't even think there was "sex" in the books back then!
So if you are looking for a SB masterpiece like Lethal, Envy or Deadline, look away. Its probably one of her first books - straight romance, no suspense at all.

Silly little romance book, very pat story line, kind if ridiculous. On the other hand, it was kind of cute, very sweet/simple, nothing to hurt the brain (if the story line didn't make you spit), and it had a sex scene or two that was fun fantasy material. Nothing great here, just silly.
OK, spoilers below, but here's my rendition of the book:
Twin 1: Ooh, pretend to be me for a few days.
Twin 2: No. Oh, OK.
Fiance: Darling!
Fiance's handsome buddy: You don't even love him. Make love to me.
Twin 2: Help. Enough charade. I am not Twin 1.
Buddy: It's you I want. Have my baby.
Twin 2: No. Well, OK.
End to sound of marriage bells.
Really, how can you be serious?

This is a story about identical twins. Alison, "the brains," is the super intelligent scientist sister and Ann is considered the beauty and the sociable sister. Ann wants to surprise her fiance, Davis, with a boob job and asks Alison, to pose as her for a few days while she has the surgery. Spencer, the groom's best friend and best-man is instantly smitten with Alison/Ann. Alison is falling for him too and things become too complicated cause she can't reveal her real identity.
Sweet funny read with a smart bookish heroine and a sexy hot hero! I loved Allison and Spencer they were adorable and sexy together!

Typical identical twin swap/mistaken identity story.
Alison, "the brains," is the stereotypical brainiac (complete with glasses and wears hair in a bun) and Ann, though they are identical in appearance, is considered "the beauty" and the social butterfly.
Ann wants to surprise her fiance, Davis, with a boob job and enlists the help of her identical twin sister, Alison, to pose as her for a few days while she has the surgery. Begrudgingly, Alison is forced to trade in her glasses, bun, lab coat and sensible shoes for contacts, loose hair hanging around her shoulders, skimpy fashionable dresses and high heels. Just one week of keeping up with the charade of being her sister then it's back to the lab she goes. No sweat.
Enter the main plot device: Spencer, the groom-to-be's hot and mysterious best friend and best-man. Spencer is instantly smitten with the awkward sister posing as his best friend's fiance...and the attraction is mutual! Thus throwing kinks into the doppelganger mission that Alison is trying desperately not to screw up.
Honestly, I enjoyed the heck out of this book. All the characters were likable and I was genuinely interested in the lead hero/heroine's HEA. There was plenty romance and humor to go around. I laughed-out-loud throughout the entire book.

The idea of identical twins pretending to be each other in Ms. Brown’s RS The Switch was written so much better than this older book, which has the silliest story line I have come across. Not to mention I ended up laughing to tears at why the hero was so super rich.

Although written by SB, this is not one of her gritty romantic suspence stories but a slushy Harlequin style romance. It was ok but I wouldn't have recognised or hazarded a guess that SB wrote it if hadn't already known!
Nice and easy read but not one I would rush to experience again.

This is the most ridiculous book i've ever read.
I've always loved a novel with plot twin sisters exchanging identity one with another like Magic Girls comic or Danielle Steel's Mirror Image but this one is.. errrr i don't even know how to say it.
The plot was so simple and didn't make sense at all.
Alison Leamon was forced by her identical twin sister, Ann, to take her place for a while since Ann wanted to do the breast surgery to make her fiance, Davis, happy. Alison, the bookworm, then pretended to be the sexy and fun Anne, having dinner with Davis and his best friends, who turned to be so horny to her, Spencer.
Spencer, realized that "Ann" seems like not loving Davis at all but pretended to satisfy him a lot really got attracted with her so that he even dare to seduce "Ann" while Davis was there, at the restaurant *WHOOTT??? REALLY???* It happened again and again to "Anne"'s house until Alison really sick with it and admitted to both Davis and Spencer that she wasn't Ann but Alison.
Spencer, who could guess, apparently became more turned on as he knew that Alison was not his bestfriend's fiance so that he tried so hard to tame Alison even by offering himself to be the father of Alison's son. Yep, another ridiculous part of the story. Alison somehow, as a scientist, wanted to know how would it be to have a son from a perfect man and woman. Yep again... she was the perfect woman with beauty and inteligence whatsoever. Alison then accepted Spencer's offer and they spent days at Spencer's yacht, making love, making love, getting naked, blabla until Alison thought that Spencer was a mafia and decided to go away from that man.
On the wedding day of Ann and Davis, Alison was already pregnant, she met again with Spencer, Spencer confessed about his true job and then they went to the yacht again and having sex.
THE END..
Weird....

Goofy book about twins trading places. Pretty unbelievable but if you squint and hold your tongue right it was enjoyable. The hero was not to be believed and wasn't a really noble guy. The heroine was pretty fun when she finally came clean about the deception. Don't take anything too seriously even the plot or writing and it wasn't too bad to while away an hour or two.

A quick read featuring twins, which I really like, trying to pull off a switch, only to have a man mess up their plans.
Allison, the logical twin, agrees to take her bubbly sister Annie's place for a few days, while she gets cosmetic surgery to surprise her fiance, who had arranged for her to meet Spencer, his best friend during the same period of time.
There are sparks flying from the moment Allison and Spencer meet, but she is pretending to be engaged to Spencer's best friend. Spencer, who can tell that something doesn't quite add up, complicates things between all of them, until .
That's the point where the story took a bit of a weird turn, since .
Enjoyable story, if a bit dated, both in terms of technology and some ideas and behaviors.

I liked this book and I couldn't put it down. Honestly (if I was a twin) I would not want to swap/be my twin for one day let alone one week... I mean having to be yourself at your job and then get off work and be someone else... sorry I woulda told twin sister that she needs to just tell her Fiance she is sick or come up with some excuse why she can't see him for a week. But I guess that is just me but I really enjoyed this story. It was a fun read.
September 5, 2010
For the review...well it's a very interesting topic, and really has humor giving the fact that it's actually a romantic book! As for what i've learned? It's never too late or too soon to meet the right person, even if the circumstances might seem odd!
August 31, 2012
This is probably the worst thing I've read by Sandra Brown. What a stupid love story! The heroine was a scientist so brilliant but a complete twit. And the hero was such an ass I couldn't figure what Allison even saw in him. Terrible book.
July 6, 2013
Thursday's Child By Sandra Brown A hot and heavy love story; couldn't turn the pages fast enough. It was a book that took little time to read, just wanted to read was on the next page. Two sisters(twins) swiched identies for a few days. As a result the plot thickened. Good book.
September 4, 2014
First book I ever read of hers. No author has brought the romance genre to life like Sandra Brown. It's real, not fantasy like most books. You can relate to it and find yourself in the characters.
November 3, 2008
This is one of the best short love stories I have read so far. I'm starting to really enjoy Sandra Brown book I must say. :)
April 30, 2010
I love all of Sandra Brown's books. This one was a love story only - no mystery.
June 28, 2010
The story is soo sexy. I liked it. XOXO

Oh this was a really good quick and fun read. Sandra did a wonderful job on this whole book from beginning to end.

Cuando escribes docenas de harlequines, unos te salen mejor y otros peor. Este, publicado en febrero de 1985 para la línea Loveswept (es el n.º 79) resulta de los malonchos. Soso y aburrido, hacen bien en no traducirlo porque es perfectamente prescindible.
Recurre a uno de esos tópicos descacharrantes de la novela romántica: intercambio de mellizas. Allison Leamon se hace pasar por su hermana Ann en una cena con el novio de esta (que no sabe que la que está a su lado no es su simpática prometida, sino su más seria y virginal cuñada) y con el padrino (y mejor amigo) del novio, Spencer Raft. ¿Por qué finge ser Ann? El motivo es totalmente ridículo y el resultado, previsible: atracción entre «Ann» y Spencer.
Años después, Brown retomó la idea del intercambio de mellizas para uno de sus suspenses, The switch (2000), muchísimo mejor que esta, claro.
Crítica más amplia, en mi blog.

Cute romance and quick read!!
I always love the twin switch in romance. I did not think I would be able to like the best friend after what happened but he was so sexy and sweet to Allison that I had to forgive him. This was a fun and quick read.

Sebagai penggemar Tanteu Sandra Brown, kalo baca novelnya yang tipis itu ada dua kemungkinan: 1) Dibalik tipisnya si novel ternyata lumayan bagus walaupun konfliknya biasa aja; 2) Konflik biasa tapi siap-siap alur ceritanya mengarah ke lempeng bosenin.
Thursday Child kalo di novel terjemahan dikasih judul Peran Ganda. Dari judul udah mikir ih mesti disuruh mikir dikit nih walaupun tipis. Tapi dari blurb udah kecium bauk hmmm kayaknya bakal biasa aja. Dan bener deh! Konfliknya soal hubungan cinta yang galau-galau mau gitu. Peran gandanya malah cuma selingan doang ga ada suara jeng-jeng jeng-jeng diikuti suara degup jantung dan keringat dingin. Karakter hero sm heroinenya nggak kuat. Chemistry bisa dibilang nggak ada. Cuma hubungan percintaan yang menggebu-gebu yang mungkin karena pengaruh hormon aja hehe hehe hehe. Udah ah ntar kuteks tanteu lecet karena banyak kasih komen negatif buat novel ini. Bhay :3

Dear lord, what did I just read?!
Thursday's Child has a ridiculous plot where basically everything and I mean everything leads to sex.
After a while I started skipping the lovemaking where bodies 'fit together like jigsaw pieces' just to see what happens in the end.
Guess what i found?
MORE sex.

I thought this book was pretty funny in it's own way, but of course dated as it was written with the early 80's style. I honestly don't think I would ever trade laces with a twin so she could get her boobs done and act like I was in love with my soon to be brother-in-law. I enjoyed this book and would reconmend it for a quick read.

Enjoyed reading about twin red-heads.
