Publisher's Summary:
Best-selling author Jane Bonander pens an entertaining stand-alone tale of mistaken identity in this sexy Scottish historical.
When Robbie Fleming is evicted from her Edinburgh rooming house, she fears she'll have to live on the street. Penniless, orphaned, and on poor terms with her only relative - her fraternal twin sister, Birdie - Robbie has nobody to turn to. But then she receives a letter from Gavin Eliot, the man she has pined for since she was a girl.
Although Gavin (and every other male within miles) seemed head over heels in love with flirty and vivacious Birdie, his letter holds a surprise: He wants to marry Robbie. Thrilled by the proposal and her change of luck, Robbie accepts, landing on his doorstep with little more than the clothes on her back. Bookish Gavin always has his head in the clouds. When Robbie shows up at his borderlands manor, he's astonished - he realizes he's unwittingly proposed to the wrong sister.
But with Robbie in need of a home and Gavin in need of a wife, they come to an understanding. Will Robbie's heart heal from the betrayal? And will Gavin learn to love the last woman he ever expected?
Members Reviews:
Secondary character without redeeming quality.
SPOILER:
I enjoyed most of this book. The reason behind the low rating has to do with the secondary characters of Colin and Birdie. Colin is kind, empathetic, and intelligent. Birdie is a shrew, manipulative, self-absorbed, and has no redeeming qualities. Why o' why would the author have Colin marry her, especially after the heinous act she committed? She's beautiful. Good for her, but that seems to be the only reason he likes her. There were a few times that Birdie showed a little remorse, but even in the last few pages it is revealed she's still a social-climber who is only married to Colin for the status. Yuck. Colin was too good of a character for that ending.
Will Gavin's error lead to an everlasting love between himself and Robbie?

My Thoughts:
I loved this at times poignant and heartbreaking tale. It is much more than a tale of mistaken identity and sibling rivalry.
I read this book in two sittings even though it is by no means a short read.
Gavin is in need of a wife and remembers the vivacious redhead he was infatuated with as a young man. Unwittingly he writes to and proposes to the wrong sister.
