Sitting in the laundromat I took out my Kindle and looked for something to read.  Decided to try out one of the Miriam Minger books I'd purchased fairly recently and settled in.  After reading through the set up to the story I was quite capitivated by the story and was soon eagerly turning the pages as fast as I could read them.  Anora and Gwendolyn go out to their special spot and find themselves kidnapped.  Hakon is quite taken with Anora and decides he wants her as his lover and Gwen(being mistaken for a boy because she's a tomboy)ends up a working slave on the ship.While it's hard to like Hakon at times he's definitely infinitely better then a couple of the other men on the ship and he actually treats Anora quite well given the situation.  Anora is treated quite well while Gwen does her duties on the ship and it stays this way for awhile.  Eventually they reach Hakon's home and Gwen goes to work in the stables while Anora ends up in his living quarters.  As good as Hakon has been to Anora, trouble comes when he grows tired of her not sharing his bed.  Anora before being kidnapped was betrothed and eagerly looking forward to her wedding.  So Gwen switches places with Anora so that Anora can keep her virginity and faithfulness to her beloved in tact.  So they trade places and Gwen ends up living in Hakon's quarters and Anora goes to work in the stables.  In fact the stables is the spot they use to keep the ruse going.What Gwen doesn't expect is to like being in Hakon's arms.  For awhile she still hates the man and what he has done to them, but eventually her heart catches up to her body and she finds herself in love with the man.  Gwen and Anora switch places a few more times when the situation calls for a switch and Gwen continues to fall more and more in love with Hakon, but he thinks she's Anora which could complicated things.  Will he still want to be with her once he discovers the deception that's gone on between the two twins?  And will Anora's beloved still want to be with her when/if they finally have a chance to go home?Miriam Minger is a good historical fiction romance writer in which you both get caught up in both the romance and the time period being represented in the book.  I have and will continue to read more of Miriam Minger's books in the future.
