I absolutely loved this book!!  Now on my favorites list, as I am expecting the whole series.Imagine that there are two worlds.  One that we live in now...with no magic.  And another dimension full of elves, dragons, animals that talk...a beautiful winter land!!  In this land, everyone in our world has a twin.Seoafin, who likes to be called Finnie, is a millionaire in our world.  She craves adventure.  She is sweet, kind, and lost her parents at a really young age.  She finds out about this world and that her parents are alive in this world and pays a million dollars to trade places with her twin in Lunwyn, the Winter Magic Land.Princess Sjofin (Finnie's twin) loves her land but she cannot be herself there.  Sjofin is a lesbian, which is not necessarily frowned upon, but since she is a princess it is her duty to be betrothed to a man of power and produce an heir.  When she finds out that Finnie wants to switch with her...she jumps at the chance.So they switch....Finnie comes to Lunwyn on the day that she is to marry Frey, The Drakkar.  He is a powerful, HOT, man that controls elves and dragons.  He doesn't want to marry Sjofin because he knows of her sexual preference but does so out of duty.  He doesn't know that he actually married Finnie.  After their marital kiss (which was hot), he drags her to his cabin and leaves her there for weeks....When he returns, he gets to know her.  It is hilarious when she tries to cover up lies because she is still trying to pass for Sjofin.  She does however tell Frey that she is not a lesbian and they start a physical, sexy, relationship...They fall in love!!"I love you, Frey.  I'm in love with you.  So in love, I'll never stop loving you.  Not ever.  You, everything about you is beyond my wildest dreams."He shows her his world...how to cheat at cards..."It is the man who can best cheat who wins not only the game but the respect of his opponents."I am not sure how I felt about his attitude when I read this statement, what kind of man is he??This book is full of adventure: sword fights, sea voyages, balls,...it is really cool.  It is also funny to have a woman from our world (with all of her slang) be a princess in that world.This book changed who they both were..."...never look back.  Always look forward.  Always look where you're going; never waste time on where you've been.  You've been there so you don't have to take that time and wasting any time, even a breath, is a mistake."
