Review: Heroine's love/lust instant switch was too unbelievable for me

Will you like (or not) Misplaced Princess? It all falls down to one thing: will you be able to accept the premise of the book: Annie flies around the world (from New York to Sydney) to meet a guy whom she met online. Sadly, he's not there but his identical twin brother is. Insta-love (and lust) happens. After some moral dilemma about poaching on brothers territory, we get a lot of steamy sex.I just could not believe it. If I chatted with a guy for months (and built a trusting connection with him that will give me courage to fly to a foreign country to visit) I definitely would not start lusting after his brother. Especially since they are total opposites as personalities. Ok, maybe I would wistfully ogle him and wish why 'my guy' is not here, but that's it.Insta-love type of romance is believable when there are teenagers involved but with mature 28-year-old women - I just can't buy it.As for the rest, the sex is steamy and hot, the cowboys are hung like a horse and built like supermodels, heroine is poor rich girl fighting to be independent. There is even some light exploration of hero's dominant streak and heroines bdsm tendencies.So, if these are your kinks and you are not bothered by insta-love, Misplaced Princess may turn out to be a pleasant read for you.
