Review: Something Unexpected...

I read most of the reviews, I always read 1-3 Star reviews to see what may potentially be wrong with a book.  After doing so, I was expecting something completely dark and depraved.  It was unexpectedly not - to me anyway.  I think le Veque intentionally made the relationship between the brother and step/sister ambiguous.  There were references in the book that said she was both Sister and Step-Sister so you never really knew.  I think she was actually half-Sister because otherwise, why wouldn't he have married her?  He obviously wanted to and there would have been no reason for him not to do so.  Sooo, if that's the case...that IS nasty.  Otherwise, console yourself and believe that they were only step-siblings.  Regardless, he still molested the girl, but all that being said - I'm positive things like that went on back in the day (and present day) and worse.  I don't know why we have so much of that nasty stuff in the history of human beings, but we do so it must be accepted as fact and reality.  Okay, moving on...I liked the story overall, it moved well, but I wish the hero and heroine could have spent more time together.  I felt like I missed that.  I also wished he could have taken more of stand when all those women went missing so conveniently.  I liked the Sister, she unexpectedly had a lot of backbone.  The twins were funny...I myself enjoy hot toddy's when sick!
