I got this book when it was free Kindle download.  I must admit, I didn't have high expectations for the book when I downloaded it because I didn't know how the author was going to pull off this story.  Boy, was I surprised! I loved it.  I loved how both sisters balance each other out.  One sister (Gwendolyn) is strong, witty, stubborn, etc. everything I like in a female character.  What I loved about her most was her determination to keep her sister safe and protected during their kidnapping. The other sister Anora, is the very feminine sister.  She's embraces her feminine side, she wears her hair long (Gwendolyn keeps hers short, she's excited about her upcoming marriage, and she is the complete opposite of Gwendolyn. Despite their differences they are unique in their own way and they don't fight for other's attention.  I was so glad that the author had made them both good.  Generally, when I read a story about twins one is good while the other is bad, and generally one tries to steal the other's man.  The author didn't do that in this story.  Because the sisters were so different in nature, it took a different man to be perfect for each sister.  My only complaint about this book was that I was a little confused about the beginning where the focus was on Anora and Wulfgar because it originally made me think that the story was about them.  After I finished the book, I realized why the author started there because Gwendolyn sole purpose was to protect her sister's virginity from Hakon and in doing that she falls in love with Hakon.  Also, I would have liked to have read a little more about Anora and Wulfgar after they had been reunited.  I will be definitely reading more from this author!
