Romance

BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |

Liked the idea of changing identities and trying a different life style. Unfortunately it did not stay with that concept. How could Sara think her boss was mean, old and fat and then change her thinking. How could Ariel not know anything about a guy who was her companion all her life. The rest of the book was about getting stuck on an island and solving the mystery of why the residents wanted them to stay there. Ending tied up everything in too cute of a package. (

Not Deveraux's best work. Sara and Ariel are identical cousins who go to King's Isle with Sara's boss and the man Ariel's mother is trying to push her into marrying. The residents of King's Isle have a long-running scheme involving arresting tourists and not letting them off the island without paying a huge fine. However, the situation our quartet of protagonists find themselves in seems rather more sinister.
The book is heavy on exposition, with a lot more "telling" than "showing". Even the action-y parts are heavily laced with backstory, and everyone in this book has tons of backstory. The plots and disguises of seemingly everyone on the island have to be unraveled, but the eventual revelations seem ridiculously simple and pat when it all comes out. The romance is barely developed between either couple, so it's good that both pairs have known each other for years and just had to realize they liked each other, which being put in a dangerous situation quickly revealed. So, yeah. Very disappointing. If you want to read a good Deveraux book...pick, seriously, any other one. Do you suppose she had a deadline? Or a ghostwriter? (

A little different but no less loved. Secret loves and switching places. False imprisonment and a murder. There is a mystery to solve on the island they have been trapped on. This is a mystery love story about 4 people trapped in a strange island town off the coast of North Carolina. Not quite the usual Jude Deveraux but it was still a really great story that I enjoyed very much. (
