Two young women who look exactly alike change places each after what the other posseses. This was a good "beach" read and I enjoyed it. I am a fan of Jude Deveraux, but I honestly felt that this was not her greatest but certainly not her worst.

A very light read, a book to take along when you're sitting in the doctor's office, etc. Not one of Jude Deveraux's best. But it does have it's moments and some funny [?] circumstances.

I was very disappointed in this book. Others by her were great; it was a cute idea, but very boring to read.

The storyline in this book was really strange, but I can't say it wasn't unique. I liked it ok, but not as well as others by Deveraux.

This really is a nice read, although not one of Jude Deveraux's best. The ending seems hurried and a little weird. I am still glad I read it, though, because I thought other parts of it were great.

Typically Jude Deveraux. A great summer read. Two cousins switch lives, find true love and almost get themselves and everyone else killed in the process. A spoiled Southern belle and a New York working girl fall out of the same family tree, and head into adventure.

Two cousins switch lives. Ariel and Sara never imagined their high-spirited attempt to step into each other's shoes would cause such upheaval. The lifelong pen apls, who look exactly alike, meet for the first time in their twenties and embark on a daring adventure of changing identities. Southern belle Ariel is determined to win the heart of a man who doesn't know she exists, while Sara yearns to leave behind her hardscrabble existence and taste the goof life that fate has denied her. But in pretty Arundel, North Carolina, nothing is as it seems -- including the dangers that are closing in on their new dream lives, as the deepest of fears and darkest of secrets and betrayals come to light.

This book was just okay for me. Not bad, not great. It was a fast read. Happy ending, yet very unbelievable. Kind of cheesy in some parts.

This was a very light read which had both intrigue, humor and a touch of romance wrapped up inside it. The story was very enjoyable. I would recommend this book to anyone who is a Jude Deveraux fan. She does not disappoint us with this novel. Enjoy!

I normally don't "review" a book, I just make sure there's a synopsis. But this was my first Deveraux book---and my last. What a waste of $8.00. Immature plot, poorly developed characters, juvenile writing...how do these people get to be best selling writers? Must have a HUGE family. Please, someone---get this off my bookshelf!

On a scale from 1-10 I would have to rate this book a 7 1/2 it's not one of her greatest, but not one of her worst either. But the book does keep you guessing til the very end. A very quick read....

Deveraux's books are just... unexpected. You read the synopsis and expect a cute light read, but they are not like that at all! I love it. There is unexpected mystery, murder, mayhem... Stories you'll remember for a long time!
