Two sisters. One disaster. First things first: I'm the bad twin. While my sister, Marcia, has the perfect family in the perfect suburb, I've been making my living as an Internet advice columnist and designing Web sites in my downtown loft. I always thought I had the right answer - and hair color - for any occasion. That is, until Marcia ran up loads of debt and ran out on her husband and kids, and I was left helping to pick up the pieces. Her husband, James, is a lawyer who I hate on principle alone. But for a guy who's just lost his job, his marriage, and his expensive toys, he's keeping it together - and making me rethink my feelings toward him. It's not that he's traded in his conservative suits for sexy jeans. It's that he's not giving up what's important to him, and oh baby, I'm a sucker for a guy who hangs tough. That doesn't mean I?m ready to step into Marcia's designer shoes now that she's gone AWOL. And it doesn't mean I'm going to fall for James' easy charm...not again, anyhow. Besides, I've had a lifelong policy of not being mistaken for my twin and I'm not backing down on that one now - no matter how convenient it might be for a certain sexy (and persuasive) man...

My print copy of this book (published under the pseudonym Claire Cross), which I'd had for several years, came to an unfortunate end after an encounter with a cup of coffee... so I was thrilled to find it available as a Kindle freebie.
The book is thoughtful, well-written and generally engaging. The first-person narrator, 38-year old Maralys O'Reilly, isn't anywhere near as tough as she'd like to pretend, and Maralys' burgeoning romantic relationship with her soon-to-be-former brother-in-law, lawyer James Coxwell (which develops from years of animosity, after the sudden departure of her twin sister) is far from easy going. There's a well-plotted and genuinely surprising twist part-way through the book.
Although I enjoy this novel a great deal, it's not without flaw. The update to Kindle edition has not been kind on punctuation - apostrophes are over-used on a fairly widespread basis - and tenses are also misused in several places. There's a lecture-style section on the meaning of doubleness/duality that strikes a slightly jarring note (though is part of a literary device used throughout the Coxwell series), and I've never been entirely convinced about the rather abrupt introduction, towards the end of the book, of a group of friends for Maralys (collectively known as the Ariadnes), none of whom had previously been mentioned. But, quibbles aside, this is an enjoyable and well-written story with more depth than the average romance.
This is the second book in Cooke's Coxwell family series, the reading order for which is:
1) Third Time Lucky
2) Double Trouble
3) One More Time
4) All or Nothing

I haven't read a book of choice for a long time due to all of my revision and exams. This book however, was the perfect one to get me back into it again. It was a light read with a great plot and I found that there was no point in the book where I got bored or lost attention because the plot had a way of developing brilliantly. Overall I would recommend this book if you want an enjoyable read, because I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I was surprised when I came to review this book that it was the second in the series. I think I bought it as a freeby, so expected it to be book one. Saying all that you don't feel that you have missed a chunk of the story.
I enjoyed this book, there were twists in the story that I wasn't expecting and a lot of laugh out loud moments.

I enjoyed this book. Although the ending was predictable there were some good twists in the story. I have not read any others in the set, but will now have to.

Interesting read
I enjoyed the way the story is written. There are some great 'laugh out loud' moments as well as the nitty gritty subjects covered in this story.

I loved this story, it was easy to read, funny and enjoyable. Being a twin myself I find anything 'twin' related is fascinating whether it's fiction or fact.

I very much enjoyed reading this book. It wasn't just about the development of a love story but the formation of the main character, a truly feisty and at the end strong woman. Read more
