As usual, Laurie Kellogg writes a thought provoking story.  I noticed that one reviewer didn't like it because it was too sensual.  I understand that, I think most of her stories should have some sort of naughty rating on them.  But I love her writing.  She writes, happily ever after for normal people.  It's almost formulaic in the sense that there's a rich guy, a beautiful girl, lots of sexy moments and everyone lives happily ever after, but...  not according to the pattern.The characters are not flat.  There is no bad guy/bad girl.  In real life, I think we rarely meet people who are 100% villainous and are out to ruin someone else's life.  I have never met a femme fatale that's desperately trying to get my husband because he's the only good-looking, rich guy in the world.  But I have met a lot of people who mean well, but just don't know how to love well.Take for example Brianna.  She LOVES her sister Casey.  Casey is everything she isn't.  She can cook and is giving and loving and can decorate.  They're twins, but absolutely opposite one another.  Brianna is tall and beautiful.  Casey is short and sassy.  But Brianna is tired of being on the receiving side of all of Casey's thoughtful consideration.  She feels that she has made Casey sacrifice all Casey's life for her.  She's beautiful, but she's sickly and she feels she is nothing but looks.Casey is jealous of her beautiful twin, but still loves her and would do anything for her, even have her baby for her.  And just to add a bit of drama, Casey's in love with David, Brianna's husband!When you start to read the story, you think David is a clueless idiot, Brianna's a selfish, self-seeking bit of fluff and Casey needs to grow a spine.  As you read further along, you begin to realize these are three, flawed, but loveable people who just love each other too much and not too well.  Human.Great job on another story with a twist off of the normal formula.  I think I've even read a similar story line, but wow, way to make it your own.  King Solomon says there's nothing new under the sun, but I think we can still put our own stamp on old things and Ms. Kellogg definitely did.  I've read all her stories and they're all great in case you're looking for something else to read.
