A Stand-in for Her Sister


Millie wants very much to be accepted by her half-sister, Brooke. She was born when her mother was having a long term relationship with Brooke’s father. It’s a hurt that rankles both girls. They look amazingly alike which gave Brooke, married to Lorenzo a wealthy banker, the idea to use Millie as a stand-in. Millie doesn’t feel comfortable with the arrangement, but it does give her contact with the only family she has.

After five years, Millie is tired to the game, but agrees to stand-in for Brooke one more time. They’re in the limo racing to drop Millie at her hotel, so Brooke can catch an airplane. Brooke gives Millie her clothes and jewelry and takes Millie’s passport. Then the unthinkable happens. A terrible automobile crash kills Brooke and puts Millie in the hospital in a coma.

Lorenzo thinks the woman in a coma is Brooke and although they were planning to divorce, he feels he must care for her. He hated Brooke’s selfish ways, but when she wakes from the coma, she’s so different he begins to wonder if they have a future.

This is an amusing romance. Millie and Lorenzo are such nice people you can’t help hoping their romance will last. There are plenty of hot sex scenes, but they add to the story rather than distracting from it. The descriptions of Lorenzo’s fabulous houses are wonderful. You can’t help but feel you’d love to see them. If you enjoy romance, this is a good one.

I received this book from Harlequin for this review.
