Review: Twice As Wicked (Wicked Secrets, #1) by Elizabeth Bright

Synopsis

Miss Alice Bursnell is determined to wreak revenge on Nathaniel Eastwood, Viscount Abingdon, for the seduction, ruin, and death of her beloved twin sister. But how to expose a seducer without falling prey herself? As she gets closer to Nathaniel, she finds she is in serious danger of following in her sister’s much-too-tempted footsteps. The man is nothing like the heartless rake she expected...and his kisses are truly divine. Could she be wrong about him?

When a mysterious and gorgeous woman confronts Nathaniel at a fancy ball, he suspects she has murder on her mind—his own. But the more he tries to determine who the deceptively innocent beauty is—and what she’s up to—the deeper he falls under her alluring spell. Nathaniel fears he’s in imminent danger of losing his life...or worse, his heart.

Review

It's an interesting story full of intrigue and romance. Alice had a twin sister who dies tragically and now she plans to make the person, who caused her sister grief, pay. Nathaniel has a twin brother, who is few minutes younger than him. It seems that his brother may very well be the cause of his demise. He has learnt to never trust anyone, least of all a woman. But it seems that he is willing to give Alice a chance. May be she will turn out to be trustworthy.

Alice approached Nathaniel Eastwood for one reason and one reason only; revenge. Soon she realises that he might not be the man she is looking for, but she can still use him to get to his twin brother. However, more time she spends with him the more she admires him. He is unlike anyone she has ever met before. Only if their circumstances were different she may have considered him as a suitable husband, unfortunately their is no future for them....

Nate begins to like Alice. In spite of his misgivings she seems like a person he can even consider spending his life with. Although, he fears that there is something she is hiding from him. Will trusting a woman cost him his life or is he going to find his soul mate at last?

I quite enjoyed reading this book. It's unique in a way that along with romance there is some mystery involving the twins, which makes everything all the more interesting. I loved both main characters and side characters were not bad either. I think every historical romance fan will like this book.

P.S. I received a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley.
