Trapped there at her sister\u2019s request, she gives her desire free reign and finds herself falling hard and fast.<\/p>\n<p>And she\u2019s not alone.<\/p>\n<p>Bradley wants a wife to tick all the boxes, save for one: love. It\u2019s not part of the deal, never was, never will be. But when he returns home early to find his hopeful-fianc\u00e9e behaving all sorts of different, he likes it. A lot. Suddenly, he wants a real marriage, with all the trimmings, and he will stop at nothing until he gets it.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>But this Hollywood HEA faces one big hurdle\u2014she\u2019s not who he thinks she is\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Review<\/h2>\n<p>Another sexy, steamy read from Rachael Stewart. I really enjoyed this story, but, for some odd reason, I was desperate to get to the main conflict, when usually I&#8217;m hesitant to read it. Perhaps it&#8217;s because the happily ever after comes after the conflict?<\/p>\n<p>The ending was lovely, and I&#8217;m very happy for Isla and Bradley. The only &#8220;downside&#8221; is that I really want to know Carrie&#8217;s, Amy&#8217;s, and Lara&#8217;s stories. There doesn&#8217;t seem to be any indication that&nbsp;<em>The Good Sister&nbsp;<\/em>is the start of a series, but I can hope.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"reveal\">Click here if you&#8217;re OK with reading spoilers.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"toReveal\">The only main &#8220;problem&#8221; with the story is that Bradley didn&#8217;t even think that &#8220;Carrie&#8221; could be Isla. He know&#8217;s Carrie has a sister, so I&#8217;m surprised that it never occurred to him that they could have swapped places. Perhaps if Ms. Stewart had mentioned that he didn&#8217;t know they were twins, it would have made more sense. But if he knows Carrie well enough to propose, you&#8217;d think he&#8217;d know what her sister looks like.<\/div>\n<p>Regardless, it was a fun and sweet story, and I enjoyed the themes of sisterhood (both by blood and friendship) that are introduced and explored.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Giveaway!<\/h2>\n<p><a id=\"rcwidget_l6chom2v\" class=\"rcptr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rafflecopter.com\/rafl\/display\/33c69494119\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-raflid=\"33c69494119\" data-theme=\"classic\" data-template=\"\">a Rafflecopter giveaway<\/a><br \/>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/widget-prime.rafflecopter.com\/launch.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1753\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/RachaelStewart.png?resize=288%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Rachael Stewart\" width=\"288\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/RachaelStewart.png?w=288&amp;ssl=1 288w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/RachaelStewart.png?resize=144%2C150&amp;ssl=1 144w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/>Rachael Stewart adores conjuring up stories for the readers of Harlequin Mills &amp; Boon and Deep Desires Press, with tales varying from the heart-warmingly romantic to the wildly erotic.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a degree in Business Studies and spending many years in the corporate world, the desire to become an author never waned and it&#8217;s now her full-time pleasure, a dream come true.<\/p>\n<p>A Welsh lass at heart, she now lives in Yorkshire with her husband and three children, and if she&#8217;s not glued to her laptop, she&#8217;s wrapped up in them or enjoying the great outdoors seeking out inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>Author links:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rachaelstewartauthor.com\/\">Website<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/rachaelstewartauthor\/\">Facebook<\/a>&nbsp;| <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rach_b52\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<hr style=\"clear: both;\"\/>\n<p><em>Disclaimer: This review is based on a complimentary eBook I received from Rachel&#8217;s Random Resources.
