TWICE THE TEMPTATION
After years of being a quiet, dutiful wife, the recently widowed Mrs. Miranda Talbot is finally free to do as she pleases. As an attractive woman of independent means, Miranda is suddenly turning heads all around town. When she meets the dashing Mr. Castor Worthington, she is swept away by his passion. Is he too good to be true?
DOUBLE THE DESIRE
Little does Miranda know that there is more to Castor than meets the eye. In fact, he’s a twin. Castor’s brother, also a confirmed bachelor, takes his romantic pursuits—and rivals—very seriously. When Castor discovers Miranda is being courted by his own twin, his competitive nature takes over. Who will be the one to win Miranda’s hand and heart? The race to say I do is about to begin…
My Spoiler Review:
The second installment of the Wicked Worthington series really missed the mark for me. I truly enjoyed the first book, but everything unraveled in the second book.
Cas and Pol are twins - though they are grown men they are irresponsible and only think about inventing -well absolutely nothing worthwhile. They run around the brothels and spend money like there's no tomorrow, never caring after the wellbeing of their family.
I'm not sure if the author meant to write this in an endearing way (if such a thing exists), but I found nothing endearing about this behavior whatsoever.
One day, the twins are making their usual mayhem when a beautiful widow is struck by Pol's handsomeness. She cant get Mr. Worthington off her mind, not knowing he's a twin. A complex, yet rather dull story ensues and an endless back and forth of should they - shouldn't they do it overcomes the story as it seems both men fall for her.
But just when I thought I was at least going to get a ménage book for all my troubles (nope! not even that), everything falls apart as they all can't figure out who should be with who. Add in a pesky clause that the widow shouldn't do anything scandalous that will damage or ruin her reputation or she'll lose her fortune and it's all one big mess I couldn't be bothered with.
In the end, I really didn't care who stayed with who as I couldn't believe how irresponsible these two brothers were.
SPOILERS!!!
I was floored the brothers got the widow to lose her fortune and then made her move in with their parents because they didn't even have a home of their own. *faints* I just couldn’t believe what I was reading. I could have totally done with skipping this installment.
And Then Comes Marriage features:
- sexual content
