Summary: Let Down...
Review: I bought this book after reading all the great reviews, but I found myself disappointed. The premise is great and interesting with a set of twins on the run with Charlie (one of the twins) disguising herself as a boy. They run into Lord Radcliffe at an inn. There are many impersonations in the story. Radcliffe believes that he has fallen in love with Charlie's twin Beth, only when Charlie is impersonating her sister. Radcliffe also finds himself uncomfortable aware of Charlie when Charlie is pretending to be a boy. After a series of adventures, the truth comes out and Charlie and Radcliffe fall in love and marry.
First of all, the book seems rushed at the end to try to tie up all the loose ends. Secondly, the attraction between Charlie and Radcliffe seems to die down once he discovers that he's actually attracted to Charlie (the girl) and not Beth, Charlie's sister. The latter half of the book contains more of events meant to tie up the loose ends than of the development of the love felt by the two main characters. Radcliffe takes Charlie's change of status rather casually, in my opinion.
This book had potential that it failed to fulfill. This is my first and last Lynsay Sands book.

Summary: Amusing, but ultimately disappointing
Review: I bought this book because of all the five-star reviews here, and although I enjoyed it at first, by the time I got about two-thirds of the way through I was really feeling let down. The basic plot, though far-fetched, was amusing. Charlie is a witty and daring heroine, and seems to make a convincing boy; however, her sister Beth seems far too feminine and missish to be at all convincing in the role of a boy - and so, when Charlie and Beth change places, I couldn't believe that Radcliffe didn't work out that something was wrong - quite apart from his hormonal reactions altering according to which twin was playing which role. I enjoyed the scenes with Radcliffe and Charlie-as-a-boy very much. The brothel scene, and the earlier ones in the tavern, were very well written and amusing. But later elements of the plot became farcical - the trip to Gretna, Radcliffe's disguising himself as a woman, and so on. Like the other reviewer, I was also disappointed in the aftermath of the revelation of Charlie's real identity. Of course, this book also requires a huge amount of suspension of disbelief. I overlooked the typos and grammatical errors, as well as the Americanisms in dialogue which were completely wrong for the location and the period. But Sands actually suggests that it became widely known that Charlie was really a woman - well, Charlie, Beth and Radcliffe would have faced social disgrace and ostracism. Charlie would have been branded a strumpet. Many more details were incorrect - for instance, it was a blacksmith and not a fisherman who married couples at Gretna. This is a one-time read, for me.

Summary: Thank you Ms. Sands.
Review: I just finished The Switch. I feel a sense of loss. Each time I had to put the book down, I could not completely draw myself away from the characters. I carried them with me through out my time away. They were each made so real through Ms. Sand's portrayals, I felt in touch with them. The chemistry between Charlie and Radcliffe was so excellent, I looked forward to each and every encounter of theirs, simply for the thrill they gave. I wish though the love scenes between these two were a little more elaborated on. I am going to seek another Lynsay Sands novel on Amazon.com as soon as I finish this review. Here I go.

Summary: A really great read.
Review: I really enjoyed this book. Twin sisters, one disguised as a boy, escaping their uncle's evil plans for dangerous marriages, get help from Lord Radcliffe, who falls in love with one of the sisters but has some confusion thrown in when that sister is dressed as a boy. Its truly a funny book with a lot of great scenes. I laughed before I turned the first page. Most definitely an enjoyable read.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I was really looking forward to reading this book after reading all of the 5 star reviews written about it, but I was disappointed in it, especially towards the end. I found the part where Radcliffe dresses as a woman to save Charlie ridiculous, and thought that their reunion after the chase to Gretna Green very anti-climactic. Also, I was looking forward to more interesting interplay between the two after Radcliffe found out Charlie's true identity. This was a fun book to read, but I think it could have been much better.

Summary: Another Great Romp
Review: Lynsay Sands is my favorite writer of romantic comedy and I loved The Switch. Twins are always fun, and I loved watching the bewildered hero try and figure out what was going on!

Summary: A BLEND OF ROMANCE W/ DELICIOUS, STOMACH-GRABBING HUMOR !
Review: My favorite part was when Radcliff - to his horror & dismay - found himself reacting to the sight of Charles' lovely bare derriere the same way as he reacted to Beth's. So much for thinking that he had a normal sexual preference before he met the twins ! Charlie is my kinda heroine, impulsive, inventive, quick-witted, mature, soft-hearted ( when it comes to people & animals in plight ), prone to disaster, and 1 weakness, a loathing for confined carriages. Radcliffe, not to be outdone, also had a scene-stealing performance of his own when he had to save his beloved from the villain's clutch. Extremely funny, fast-paced, engrossing characters & eye-catching book title, too. Another author to cherish on my growing list & what a rare find indeed. YAY !

Summary: To boy or not to boy....LOL...that is the question!!!
Review: Okay, if you have not found this delightful book that is full of sides-splitting laughter, then you have really missed a delightful read!!! Lynsay is fast providing she is the Queen of Hijinx with this case of Switcheros!! When Jeremy Radcliff first meets 'Charlie' and his/her sister, they are escaping from their uncle - taking turns in the guise of one of them playing a young gentleman and the other a widow to observe properity and escape detection. But problems abound when Jeremy "insists" on escorting them to London!! From the first, when Charlie sets eyes on the handsome lord - and then prompty falls out a window - she knows her guise as a lad is doomed to failure or frustration!! She is not sure which!! A glorious great tale sure to help pass a rainy weekend!! I do not recommend reading this on the beach - as you will having everyone staring at you wondering why you are howling hysterically!!!

Summary: Great beginning
Review: Sands knows how to make an entrance, but the middle to end lacked originality. I found her heroine to have creatively humorous circumstances, but following Elizabeth's four day trip, the novel slows down a few paces. The character development was slightly lacking, but the over all reading experience was enjoyable.

Summary: A hoot from start to finish!
Review: The Switch was my first book by Ms. Sands and it was delightful. She captures your interest within the first few pages then keeps you reading because of the two delightful sisters and their dilemma. Add a wonderful hero and you have a great read.
