FMC & MMC are both the “evil twins” but…
they mutually sexually assault each other? But hey, it’s ~sexy~ so it’s fine. Later, FMC poisons her husband and they engage in non consensual sex again. It’s like a kink friendly BDSM scene only that no one actually consented to anything that occurred. So actually, not at all like a kink friendly BDSM
scene.
(Ladies and friends, if you want to explore your bound/confined fantasies perhaps try reading kink friendly erotica instead of whatever the fuck this is.)
Who the hell cares about the fantasy elements? Anyone? Pretty sure everyone reads this for the fucking because the world building is so shitty and sparse. I know it’s a short book but it’s pretty obviously taking a backseat to the characters themselves.
The only reason I didn’t DNF this was out of curiosity. Like just how bad can this get? Spoiler alert: FMCend the book pregnant . My, and SO many others, absolute least favorite trope.
I need to stop taking book recs from strangers on the Internet 😤

Although a little ridiculous in plot, I still loved this.
Echo and Bane both plan to seduce their twin's to-be spouse to entrap them in marriage, but end up with each other unintentionally. Echo doesn't want to play second best to her twin, but Bane knows from the outset that this was the best possible outcome. We then follow their journey as Echo learns to open up herself and Bane allows someone else into his circle of trust.
As with the first story, The Midwinter Mail-Order Bride, there are some lovely converstaions in this about the difference between niceness and kindness. Some scenes, such as the carriage scene, were a little too ridiculous for me, but even then I still found this an enjoyable read.

I liked this one so much more than the second and third books in the Dead Lands series. It was so entertaining and the twist at the beginning was really fun! I just love a man who is besotted with his devious wife. The carriage scene might be one of the most unique sex scenes I've ever read, in a good way.
