"The fairy tale courtship did not turn into a happily-ever-after ... not until her husband dropped dead, that is. He had been horrible enough to Christiana during their short marriage, and she was not going to allow the traditional period of mourning to ruin her sisters' debuts as well. So she decides to put him on ice and go on as if nothing's happened ... Until the real earl appears. Richard Fairgrave had every intention of confronting his villainous twin who had robbed him of his name and title ... only to discover that he had died. Quietly assuming his identity, Richard must now deal with a maddening desire for his ravishing inherited 'wife'--certainly a gold digger and possibly a murderess. And Christiana must deal with an unwanted new 'husband' and they both must figure out what to do before the ice melts!"--p. [4] of cover

This is one CRAZY book, but in a good way! It has twins, identity swaps, murder, blackmail, intrigue and secret liasons. If you're more used to the Mary Balogh, quiet romance variety, this book will probably make your head explode. But I loved it because that's why I read romance novels - to be entertained!
I have a feeling Lynsay Sands was writing novel with tongue firmly in cheek. Everything that happened in this novel was so funny and over-the-top that the reader will probably have two reactions: A) Not take this too seriously and laugh, B) hurl the book across the room in disgust because they dared make light of death, betrayal and love.
Thank God I'm the latter.
