I thought the concept of the book had great potential but the actual book just kept going on and on. The ending twist was wrapped up too quickly and left me questioning what the heck just happened but the rest of the book just took forever. It lost me about midpoint when both the hero and the heroine fell in love but were both too stubborn for it to work right away. Fiona (a name that I imidiately tie in to Shreck) is almot too stubborn and pigheaded to be likable. Tarr slowly becomes a whimpering fool in love and his statements of love starting irritating me too.
I love strong female characters and Fiona is definitely strong but to a fault. I won't pick up another book by this author for a very long time if this is a true example of her offerings.

Identical twins Fiona and Aliss MacElder have vowed to stay together until they each find true love, and they refuse to break that promise just because their cousin has chosen a husband for Fiona.
By arranging a marriage with Fiona, Tarr of Hellewyk ensures his clan's right to land and power. But the twins have other plans. They refuse to tell which twin is Fiona, forcing Tarr to take them both to his keep when his lands are attacked.
Tarr plans to woo them both until Fiona surrenders. But two stubborn, beautiful women are almost too much for Tarr, until fate steps in and love sweeps Fiona into his arms. But even then his enemies plot to seize Tarr's land and power.
Funny, passionate and emotional, this utterly delightful tale proves that Fletcher can balance these elements to perfection while giving readers a cast of unforgettable characters and a multidimensional plot.
