When Laird Oliphant demands that all his sons marry, decreeing that the first to have a son and heir will become the next laird, there are mixed reactions. Unlike his brothers, Finn Oliphant is thrilled at this ultimatum because he already has a love whom he longs to marry: Lady Fiona MacIan. Since she loves him too, obeying his father’s decree should be no problem, he just has to invite her to the Oliphant home and sign a betrothal contract.
But when Fiona arrives, things don’t go quite as smoothly as Finn imagined. Fiona is almost certain of her love for Finn, but she’s a bit insecure after a lifetime of being compared to her identical twin sister and she wants to be absolutely assured that Finn truly wants her. Things would’ve also been easier if Finn had mentioned that he too had an identical twin brother, and possibly avoiding several misunderstandings and assumptions that nearly derailed his marriage plans.
If you’re looking for an extremely lighthearted romp with some burly Scots, look no further. With two sets of identical twins running about who haven’t all met face to face, this can only be a comedy of errors. Finn and Fiona had an instantaneous connection that they nursed over the winter through letters. Now, with the arrival of spring, they’re able to reunite and discuss marriage once again, but Finn will have to convince Fiona that his feelings are genuine and lasting, a task made more difficult by the fact that they each have an identical twin running about the place. Farcical mayhem ensues but all misunderstandings are cleared up quickly, leaving behind a fun, humorous romp with entertaining and intriguing supporting characters that make me want to read the rest of the series. This is the perfect read for a quick, lighthearted escape from reality.
