Summary: Worst Ever
Review: I did not like this book after finding out the guy sleeps with both sisters. The back cover is deceiving. I wish I would have read the reviews before buying this trash. Yes, the premise was good about twins falling for same guy but come on. He sleeps with both?? If I had a sister like Kristine I would disown her in a heartbeat. She cares nothing for her sister Danni's feelings. All she sees is competition. She no more cares for Bryan than the man in the moon. Frankly, I thought both her husband and Bryan should never have had anything to do with her. Her husband apparently found her not desireable any more than Bryan did. It seems sex with Kristine did nothing for both men. But what really got me was the end where they are all together at Christmas. It made me sick. How could Danni want to be in the same room with her sister much less the man she married who slept with her. Bryan is a weak man who apparently doesn't have a problem with birth control. Hey, doesn't the author know that in this day and age we have other things to worry about than pregnancy? I think Dani should have washed her hands of all of them and raised her baby herself.

Don't buy the book. I gave it one star simply because it would have been a good story if the author hadn't made Kristine to be such a B....
No happy ending on this one.

Summary: Okay But Gets Annoying
Review: One thing I have to say for this book is that the author does keep the book fast-paced. I ended up reading it in a couple of hours because I couldn't quite put it down. And it was not because of how good it was because the main characters did annoy me. But the book is well-written and is interesting in a way that you have to see how everything is going to turn out.

Kristine lies throughout the book and it wasn't in small ways. If my sister lied like that, I would not forgive her quite so easily as Danni does. Being protective is one thing but being downright stupid to keep trusting a manipulative sister that seems out to hurt you. . . no. Although Kristine is supposed to play on a reader's sympathies because she seems so distressed after what she has done, the way she keeps chronically lying even after makes a reader a tad bit upset.

The reason why I gave this book a three though is because I did like Bryan McKay. He is a strong, honest man who rose up in the world from poor upbringings. I liked his mother, Elizabeth, who despite having cancer keeps on fighting till the end.

I think the most important reason why I didn't like this book though is because I didn't like how Danni and Bryan had to interact. First, he couldn't tell the twins apart. Secondly, he ended up sleeping with Kristine, still not telling them apart. Thirdly, supposedly getting both the sisters pregnant. . . not quite what I go for. I know there are supposed to be obstacles in a book that go against them but Bryan sleeping with someone and that someone being Danni's twin sister, no.

This is book is more of something you would borrow from the library for a nice airplane reading than you would actually buy unless if it is at the dollar store. I guess why you would buy it is because you would love to hate the characters but still be happy that all the characters had a happy ending. I think you can get my love/hate emotion from this kinda convoluted review.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Doesn't deliver
Review: This was a good premise: twins pregnant by the same unsuspecting man? However, the characters are annoying, frustrating and not worth the trouble. The one twin is a congenital liar, self-centered and immature. Her sister constantly forgives the unforgivable and feels "protective".
Maybe in the hands of a better writer this plot would have been interesting and emotional, but as is its fluff without the fun.
