Synopsis
Lies brought Mercedes Maxwell a breath away from her heart's true desire. Could they keep her from happiness?

Mercedes will not rest until her brother-in-law accepts his financial responsibility-even if it means impersonating her own sister.

But William and Mercedes discover each may have been mistaken about the other. William is discovering this Katherine is nothing like his bride, and instead everything he'd hoped for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clever historical Romance, 5 Aug 2007
The story in Pretend I'm Yours pulls you in at the beginning and doesn't let you go until the end. Most of the story takes place in Philadelphia, 1764. So yes, the politics of that time plays a large part of the tale.

Mercedes has a twin sister, Katherine. Katherine has run away from her abusive husband in Philadelphia, but has landed in an insane asylum in England. She convinces Mercedes to travel from England to Philadelphia, to get money from her husband to pay for her medical care. Once in Philadelphia, Mercedes meets Katherine's husband. In a split second decision, she decides to pretend she's Katherine. But upon meeting William, her brother-in-law, Mercedes sees he isn't the monster her sister had described. Nor, as the days advance, is anything quite like the way her sister described.

The romance, the love, and trust slowly builds between Mercedes and William. Nearly as satisfying is the love she offers his two children. But there is someone determined to kill William. And betrayal and treason are never far from mind. How the author wraps everything up for a satisfying ending is part of what makes Pretend I'm Yours such a wonderful read. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and look forward to reading more by this author. I'm sure you will, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Loved It!!, 6 Aug 2007
By K. Montgomery "http://lurvalamode.wordpress.com" (Columbus, GA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Mercedes Maxwell is worried about her sister, Katherine. Committed to an insane asylum in England, Kat tells Mercedes of the horrible treatment she suffered from her brutal husband. Mercedes, determined to get monetary help from her brother-in-law, travels to Philadelphia to confront the situation in person. When she arrives though, circumstances force her to take on the identity of her twin and soon she's caught up in a web of lies. Concern for her sister drives her on though she can't believe her brother-in-law is the same man that mistreated his wife.

William Braxton is somewhat surprised and dismayed to find his self-absorbed wife is home again. The scheming woman could very well jeopardize his secret plans during the pre-days of war against England. When she begins to act nothing like the Kat he knew, he's more than suspicious. Suddenly, she's mothering his children and acting as if his touch isn't so repellant. Her mannerisms are different and soon the mere sight of her drives him mad with desire. Could she really be different now, or is it all another scheme on her part? He will have to tread carefully, for the Revolution is coming and all could be lost if he puts too much faith in his strange wife. He finds that, for once, he wants to have more than faith in her, he wants her love as well.

This was a wonderful book! I picked it up and in one day had read it straight through. Mercedes is a great character, one that brought all the different elements together as a whole and made the story work. Her plight, that of wanting to protect her seemingly innocent sister, combined with the secret machinations of Brandon's actions against the crown set the story up with multiple levels of mystery and intrigue. I found myself as caught up as Mercedes in figuring out Brandon's character and if he was really the bad man Kat made him out to be. Brandon is an exciting hero. Handsome and very hard to resist, I really enjoyed the scenes with him and Mercedes. Seeing him finally claim the woman he'd always wanted was both sweet and heart-racing erotic. Ms. Campbell writes their story with amazing skill and kept me hooked the whole book through. This is a great book to add to my keeper shelf and now I know for sure I need to seek out other works by this author.
