"An appealing romance"

Studio photographer Kate Cooper rushes to the Warwick, Rhode Island airport to pick up Harry Armstrong, the best man at her sister's wedding. When she sees Harry in person, Kate thinks what a hot hunk, but unbeknownst to her he is Harry's twin brother Hugh, a Hollywood stuntman. Hugh fails to correct Kate's misconception. Hugh mentions being tired from rescuing lives in the ocean, which Kate thinks he is the act of a hero while in reality he did his job as part of a filming for a movie scene.

Hugh and Kate are very attracted to one another and soon make love. However, as they begin to fall in love, he believes she feels deep affection for him, but not as Hugh, as Harry. He also worries about how she reacts when his beloved learns the truth as to who he is.

The second Cooper's Corner tale is an appealing novel that avoids the triteness of the overly used mistaken twin identity theme through a likable cast. The lead characters provide a delightful exchange even if Hugh should have corrected Kate's mistake from the moment he realized who she believed he is. Still, as Kristine Rolfoson did with the first novel, Vickie Lewis Thompson maintains a high level of quality that places double the pressure on the next author Jill Shalvis.

How could she have guessed that Harry was so irresistibly gorgeous. Or that the sex between them would be so absolutely incredible. Or that the man in her bed wasn't Harry...

...in every sense of the word

Stuntman Hugh Armstrong wasn't aware that his flight coincided with his brother Harry's. And with the reception he received, he didn't much care! Finding himself sinfully seduced by sexy, spirited Kate was a rush like nothing he'd ever experienced! Before he knew it, Hugh was free-falling in love. Which wouldn't have been a bad thing--if only Hugh had been the man Kate thought he was...
