review 1: Definitely okay for a quick fun romance THIS SUMMARY/REVIEW WAS COPIED FROM OTHER SOURCES AND IS USED ONLY AS A REMINDER OF WHAT THE BOOK WAS ABOUT FOR MY PERSONAL INTEREST. ANY PERSONAL NOTATIONS ARE FOR MY RECOLLECTION ONLYI liked the book okay, but I did not feel like it had as much emotion as it had potential for. I mean, this girl,Faith, was the twin that was given away at birth while her identical twin was raised as the beautiful feisty princess of the Texas town her parents lived in. Granted, the parents had not known it was twins when they made the commitment to give a baby up for adoption, but seriously, they gave ONE away and kept the screaming sister because she would survive teen parents better?! I totally did not believe that the h could forgive that family so... more easily. That was way, way too fast with very little internal conflict to show that there was some real feeling on this issue. I understand making the healing process fast to keep the book going, but there was really no transition. This 30 yr old woman that has just learned she was adopted, had an identical twin, she was given away while the twin was kept, she's seen that her other younger siblings did not want much to do with her, her new father wants to be way over"protective" of her about her relationship with the H, and she just went to calling these people her mama and daddy. WTH?!Also, there was not much emotional depth to the main romance. I liked the pair, but he needed to grow a pair and really tell that crazy town to butt-out and fess up about the whole Hope mess. And Hope, the hometown sweatheart long-lost twin? Is a gigantic pain in the butt. She is mean, loud, conniving lier of an individual. I do not see how this town could like her so much (which is saying something because the town was portrayed as the craziest, nosiest bunch of rednecks) and think that this girl walked on water. She was awful. And she really didn't play that big of a part. She was awful to Faith because Faith was with the H, Slate, and Hope wanted Slate for herself. Not that she really wanted Slate, mind you, but because he was a backup plan and that crazy town thought that they would be good for each other.This book was *not* awful, but I was frustrated for a good portion of it. I really do not want to read about Hope in her book, Make Mine a Bad Boy, but I have a feeling that I just might. (If only to get an update on the pair from this story and to see the H, Colt. I would also buy it just to see if she ever apologies for being herself to her twin, that IMO deserves a whole heck of a lot more from this nutball family.)(and to make sure that the BF of Faith and Hope gets rid of her gross husband) ***********************Such a fun read, I enjoyed it from beginning to end! I couldn't put it down, even though I was forced to because of other obligations, I would make an excuse so I could go read a chapter. I just loved all the crazy characters and Slate was sooo sexy, I just wanted him to be himself sometimes and show his temper, but he stayed so in control.The story was a little farfetched, but I still loved it. It was about a set of twin girls who were separated at birth and they don't know about each other. So once Faith, the heroine, finds out about her sister, Hope, she heads to Bramble, Texas, in search of her, but Hope has set her dreams on Hollywood and has been gone for 5 years. What Faith finds is a bunch of delusional, crazy town people who think she is Hope and that the sweetheart of Bramble, which is Hope, has finally returned to marry the hometown football hero, Slate. Slate and Hope were best friends in high school and sometimes boyfriend/girlfriend, but more they just played along and gave the town what they wanted- a fairy tale romance. That all changes once Slate sees Faith and knows instantly she isn't his long time friend. Faith tries to tell the truth, but the town won't believe her and forces her and Slate together and there is some sexy combustion when they connect.The story was fast moving with all its craziness and I liked how the author made Faith and Hope complete opposites on the personality spectrum, Faith- sweet and vulnerable and Hope- sassy and feisty. It was believable and yet when they each let their guards down they showed a lot of similarities too. Slate was my kind of hero, an athlete and a cowboy, double jackpot!! My only wish was that [in the end he chased after Faith, and lost that forced control he had, instead of her coming back to him and confessing her love to him. Even though the ending was good, I think it would have made it just that much sweeter. (hide spoiler)]I am looking forward to reading Hope's story in the next book.
review 2: Faith Aldridge goes to Bramble Texas to find the twin sister she didn't know she had until her adoptive mother revealed it on her deathbed. What she finds is the entire town believes she's her twin, Hope. And they conspire to get her married to Hope's high school sweetheart, Slate Calhoun.Slate has let the town believe that he's Hope's boyfriend in order to avoid committing to anyone. He knows as soon as he kisses Faith that it's not Hope. And he's feeling things with Faith that he never felt with Hope. Faith is all set to stay in Bramble with Slate until Hope comes home unexpectedly & stakes a claim on Slate. Then Faith has to do what she's never done before - fight for something she wants. less
