Product Description
Book Description
With forty-four New York Times bestselling novels to her credit, Sandra Brown is one of romance’s best-loved authors. She has been hailed by Rendezvous magazine as an author whose “larger than life heroes and heroines make you believe all the warm, wonderful, wild things in life.”
Sexy, funny, and wonderfully romantic, here is the unforgettably sensuous story of a woman too smart to fall in love — and the man determined to prove her wrong.
Thursday’s Child
Allison Leamon knew that pretending to be her identical twin sister was a bad idea. For although the two redheads looked exactly alike, they couldn’t be more different. How could a no-nonsense scientist like Allison possibly fool anyone into thinking that she was the bubbly, vivacious Annie?
Trading her sensible shoes for strappy sandals, her eyeglasses for contacts, and her lab smock for a chiffon dress, Allison was determined to try her best. Her first challenge was a dinner date with Annie’s fiancé, Davis. But what Allison didn’t expect was the presence of Davis’s best friend.
Allison was far too logical to believe in love at first sight, but there was nothing logical about the way she was responding to Spencer Raft. The dark-haired, blue-eyed mystery man had an assurance that Allison found positively maddening.
And by the end of the evening, she couldn’t help feeling that Spencer had been attracted to a carefully constructed illusion. She was certain that the handsome adventurer wouldn’t give her a second look if he knew her as she really was.
But Spencer Raft was a man of many talents — and seeing below the surface of things was one of them. He sensed the flesh-and-blood woman beneath the elaborate charade, and after years of wandering the world in search of excitement, he knew he had finally found what he had been looking for.
But first this incurable romantic had to convince an intractable skeptic that there was more to love than what she could study in a laboratory. And what better way than to propose a passionate experiment of his own?
On board his yacht, Spencer and Allison would fulfill their wildest fantasies and deepest desires; but when their blissful idyll was over, would it all prove to be no more than a pleasant interlude — or the real thing?

This review is from: Thursday's Child (Mass Market Paperback)
The first part of the story , when Allison takes in her hand Ann's life so Ann can get into surgery is fine and funny, how Allison made all the thinkable mistakes she can done to her sister's fiancé and after that, fix them, will keep you in the book, but when everybody knows that Allison was Ann and vice versa, and Allison went with Spencer in his yacht and all the do is kissing and kissing the book goes boring and boring, and the end is a love story's typical end.

*wince*,

This review is from: Thursday's Child (Mass Market Paperback)
When I sat down to read "Thursday's Child" I was prepared for B level romance. I was a little surprised to be disappointed. The book was a lot closer to a low C grade. There was little to no character development, scummy heros (a dangerous move that can only be pulled off by very good writers), and most frustrating of all no research into the supposed plot line. As a woman scientist I dont expect everyone to be familiar with the field, however something as blatant as the ethical issues of human testing I did expect to be common knowledge, if only from the movies. "Thursday's Child" was a major let down, especially since I've read some of her other books and I know she can do better.
