The book begins with the heroine pretending to be her sister and marrying the man she loves. The story shows how they grow to love each other and keeps the angst and drama going with him calling her by her sister's name in moments of passion and her worrying over him discovering the ruse. The plot's been done before, but this is a really great version of it. The heroine is smart, has a sense of humor, has empathy for those around her, and put's others first. She also grows in the story to know herself better and grow out of the shell she surrounded herself with because of the psychological abuse of her family(they're all really critical of her).
I love stories about mousy or quiet heroine who get the guy and this story delivers. It seems like its been awhile since I'[ve read a story and wondered if the hero was worthy of the heroine. Lately it seems to be the other way around with these wonderful hero and self-centered, conceited, stubbon, and annoying heroines. He actually has to prove himself worthy of her since he's the one who didn't even know what twin he married.
If you liked Lisa Kleypas' Devil in Winter, you will like this too.
