Publisher's summary

The latest twist-filled novel in award-winning New York Times bestselling author Mary Monroe’s Depression-era Alabama saga tells the riveting tale of identical twin sisters with a talent for switching lives and hiding the scandalous results—until one risk too many changes the game forever.

Since childhood, identical twins Leona and Fiona Dunbar have been getting in—and out—of trouble by pretending to be each other. Yet underneath, they couldn’t be more different.

Outspoken Leona lives to break rules, have a good time, and scandalize their respectable hometown of Lexington. Fiona is a seemingly demure churchgoing girl who is the apple of her domineering, widowed mother Mavis’s eye. But together, the twins have fooled teachers, boyfriends, bosses, racist police—and most importantly, straitlaced Mavis. Even when Leona does jail time for Fiona, their unbreakable bond keeps them fiercely loyal.

So when Fiona feels stifled in her passionless marriage, and Leona is heartbroken over losing her one true love, it’s perfect timing to change places once again Leona is shocked to discover she enjoys the security of being a wife and homebody. And the unexpected spark between her and Fiona’s husband is giving her all kinds of deliciously sexy ideas.

Meanwhile, Fiona enjoys being free, single, and reveling in the independence she’s never had. And the more she indulges her secret, long-repressed wild child, the more Leona’s ex-lover becomes one temptation she’s having trouble resisting

As the sisters’ masquerade ignites desires and appetites they never expected, it also puts their most damning secrets on the line. Once the fallout rocks their small town, can Fiona and Leona’s deep sisterhood shield them from total disaster and help them reconcile their mistakes? Or will the trust between them become a weapon that shatters their lives for good?

Mary Monroe does it again!

Mary Monroe is by far my favorite author! Whether it is a period setting or current setting, Mary Monroe brings life to human interactions, emotions and social issues. Her dialogue is always fitting and Her characters are always easy to connect with. She is amazing and a true literary jewel.

Wow!

I thoroughly enjoy this book from the story to the very engaging narrator!!! I was all in. Bravo!

Love Mary Monroe

I been reading Mary Monroe books for almost 20 years and I just love her books! Them twins had me cracking up!!!

Twist at the end!

It’s crazy how Fiona always said her husband was dull and not smart, but it was a twist that he knew about her affair and that Leona was posing as her. Mary Monroe wrote another great book!

Could Nit Stop Listening

Thus book was so good. I finished it in two days. Such a good listen. Keep your interest the entire book.

The Anticipation Was SOO worth the wait!

Lordt! Them TWINS!? Woo Chile! Ms Monroe and the legendary - yes I said legendary narrator Ms Shari Peele NEVUH fails to bring these stories to life! Loved Loved LOVED this story and can’t WAIT for the next book!!!!

It all came down to the last chapter

Slow but enjoyable. Kept my interest until the end. The author did a good job of weaving the narrativr together.

Great narrator

Leona and Fiona are identical twins. They looked so much alike, they even fooled their parents. They would often switch identities to get what they wanted. I was not a big fan of Fiona. I feel like she switched with Leona when she did bad things and Leona had to suffer. Leona loved her sister so much she would anything for her. I enjoyed how the book began while the twins were children and smoothly transitioned to lives as adults. I caught on to what was going on with their friend, Bonnie Sue, as she interacted with Leona throughout the book. I hate that she took her obsession with Leona as far as she did. The ending was not to bad even though a tragic event took place.

Great

I enjoyed it like I do all of her books. I’m 32 years old and I have been reading Ms.Monroe’s books since I was about 12.

Excellent!

This book was a great read! I enjoyed it from beginning to end! Definitely worth my credit!
