Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This review contains a MASSIVE SPOILER that I wish I'd known before I read this book. You've been warned. I read this book b/c I was specifically seeking a story were the lead characters go snowed in. I got exactly what I wanted. What I did not want and what gave me a tight, "I can't believe this, I know this can't be true" feeling in my stomach that ruined most the book for me was SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER the heroine thought the hero was her half brother for most of the book. She kissed him and allowed him to fondle her although she thought he was her half brother. Due to some plot device, she woke up in his bed, and of course he was so glad to see a beautiful woman in his bed in the morning, that he proceeded accordingly. She did not immediately leap from the bed in horror and dismay. The touching and arousal (!) continued until it was going to go one way or the other and *then* she got up. All the while thinking he was her half brother. This happened within hours of her meeting him. It is not the only instance of them making out and basically doing foreplay while she thought he was her brother. Ugh. Basically, this book had an overlay of seeming incest, unbeknownst to him but known to her, for over half the book. She struggled with it a little, but not really, imo. Not enough to tell him the truth immediately. Who does that? To say that I was skeeved out does not even begin to capture it. I kept reading b/c "there was just no way" that they were really related. Of course, they weren't, but that bad taste in my mouth never left completely. I really thought less of the heroine for her lack of honesty. If I'd known that about this issue, I'd have passed on this book.
