Another great Lynsay Sands book,
By
This review is from: The Switch (Mass Market Paperback)
Well this was another book which I couldn't put down. If it hadn't been for that pesty thing called work and the fact that I need to eat and pay rent I would have read this straight through. I first discovered Lynsay Sands with ALWAYS and I've loved every book since. I love the humor she puts into her books. This one had me laughing out loud and getting strange looks from people. Her heroine in this book is very strong and has a innocent but experienced air about her. She gets herself, her twin sister and the hero into tons of trouble all the time. She seems to collect poor unfortunate souls and gather them together to make for a wild household, much to the dismay of the hero. He takes it all in stride though and eventually comes to the conclusion that he likes the way she helps all her "strays" as he calls them.Now at first the heroine is dressed like a boy called Charlie who is traveling with his twin sister Beth. Actually Charlie is Charlotte but out hero has no clue but is very upset when he finds himself strangly attracted to Charlie. He even finds himself attracted to "Beth" at times and at other times he feels nothing towards her more than friendship. He doesn't realize that the twins have been switching places. When he finds out the whole truth he is greatly releived. On the whole I loved this book and will read it again but I wish that there had been a little more romance between the hero and the heroine. They are actually together more when she's dressed as a boy than as a woman. Other than that I would highly recommend this book and any other of Lynsay Sands books.

Let Down...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Switch (Mass Market Paperback)
I bought this book after reading all the great reviews, but I found myself disappointed. The premise is great and interesting with a set of twins on the run with Charlie (one of the twins) disguising herself as a boy. They run into Lord Radcliffe at an inn. There are many impersonations in the story. Radcliffe believes that he has fallen in love with Charlie's twin Beth, only when Charlie is impersonating her sister. Radcliffe also finds himself uncomfortable aware of Charlie when Charlie is pretending to be a boy. After a series of adventures, the truth comes out and Charlie and Radcliffe fall in love and marry.First of all, the book seems rushed at the end to try to tie up all the loose ends. Secondly, the attraction between Charlie and Radcliffe seems to die down once he discovers that he's actually attracted to Charlie (the girl) and not Beth, Charlie's sister. The latter half of the book contains more of events meant to tie up the loose ends than of the development of the love felt by the two main characters. Radcliffe takes Charlie's change of status rather casually, in my opinion. This book had potential that it failed to fulfill. This is my first and last Lynsay Sands book.

The most humorous romance book I've read!,
By Fani "avid reader" (Greece) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Switch (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is magnificent! I couldn't stop laughing while reading it, much to my husband's regret who was desperately trying to sleep and the fact that I kept re-reading the funny passages again and again didn't help at all! The way poor Radcliffe finds himself attracted to a young boy "Charles" and starts to wonder for his sexual preferences is incredibly hilarious.In a few words, the story goes as follows: The earl of Radcliff meets a yound couple, a brother named "Charles" and his sister "Beth" trying to escape from their uncle. Much to their dismay (!), he offers to escort them to London, settle them in his house and introduce them to the ton as his relatives so that Beth can find a husband to escape from her uncle's plans. Although Beth is a very attractive woman, he finds himself attracted to her brother, Charlie! Radcliff is shocked by his response, but when he finally admits to himself that he is indeed attracted to "him", he finds out that he is also attracted to Beth... only at certain times! Little does he know that the brother and sister are in fact twin sisters and keep switching places as Charlie and Beth. As if this is not enough, a blackmailer appears that threatens to reveal the twins' secret. How much longer can the twins keep their secret? Who is the vilain? Will Radcliff find out the truth before he loses his mind? Get the book and find that out!! I only regret that this book has been in my "to read list" for over a year and I only decided to read it last week. I will certainly not loose time again and go right away to order the other books of Mrs Sands! Don't make the same mistake with me if you haven't read this book. Go and get it right away!
