Two Intertwined Love Stories (A Story in Two Parts): The Wrong Brother & A Brilliant Rose
Even though Robert and Charles Dashwood are as different as night and day, neither one truly believes in love. While Robert lives from day to day, touring the continent, seeking thrill and adventure, Charles takes a rather rational-minded approach to life…and marriage.
But what happens when love finally does catch up with them? When they find themselves bewitched by a single kiss? When their hearts suddenly pause at the mere glimpse of the one woman they never thought they would find? What choices will they make then?
Part One: The Wrong Brother
Bookish Lady Isabella Carrington has always favored her mind over her heart. After all, love is nothing but a fairy tale. Robert Dashwood, Viscount Norwood, prefers traveling the world to attending tedious balls. Only when his twin brother Charles is set to marry, does Robert return home…and his path finally crosses Isabella’s!
Part Two: A Brilliant Rose
Rose Lawson, an archeologist’s daughter and quite the historian herself, stumbles over a unique creature one day: a man who cares to hear her thoughts. Rational-minded Charles Dashwood has never believed he of all people would ever find love until he meets a breathtaking, young lady in the British Museum. Their happily-ever-after is within reach…until his brother’s past suddenly catches up with them.

This set of two stories is delightful. Robert and Charles Dashwood are identical twins. Robert is only minutes older than Charles. As the heir, he wants nothing to do with his estate and after ruining his reputation in London, goes to the Continent to sow more wild oats. Charles on the other hand loves history and all things ancient. One of his favorite topics is the Rosetta Stone found in a British Museum. With Robert on the Continent, Charles has been left to run the estate in his absence. When Charles decides, to marry, he approaches it analytically and asks Isabelle, a bit of a bluestocking with a huge interest in antiquities, to marry him. Charles is kind and views women respectfully so she agrees. Her world is rocked when Robert Dashwood returns home for his brother's wedding. Roberts world is also rocked from its' precarious position since they meet only after the ceremony is over. The story continues in the second story with "Robert" returning to London and faces the repercussions of his previous actions. A delightful set of stories with wonderful characters!
Twin brothers are faced with agonising choices when they fall in love, sacrifices are made, by Charles in particular but in the end both find their soulmates in these two novellas. Two enjoyable quick reads showcasing the bond between twins.
THE WRONG BROTHER:
What a terrible thing to have happen. Can you imagine, you just said "I do" and you turn around and fall head over heels in love with your husband's twin brother?
This was such an amazing story with fabulous characters. It was so easy to read and follow and I just loved every moment of this first novella in this series and am very happy to recommend it to you. Enjoy!
A BRILLIANT ROSE:
Brilliant story
This story links in perfectly with Book 1 of this series! (The Wrong Brother). It tells us how the other twin, Charles Dashwood, falls in love with Rose Lawson and the strange situation they find themselves in.
Because of something her cousin told her, Rose doesn't want anything to do with him and he is totally clueless as to why.
Of course as this is a love story and there is a happily-ever-after to look forward to, which is so cleverly plotted by our author, Bree Wolf, you will be kept guessing as to what will happen from scene to scene in this fast paced novella.
I loved the whole concept, the wonderful characters, the clever storyline, the wit and then there is the sigh-worthy moment when Charles and Rose finally sort themselves out.
This has been such a wonderful series, and this has to be my favorite story yet! Isabella and Rowan are pure delight! The storyline is charming and the clever dialogue and banter between those two make for a most entertaining read. She is a Duke’s sister and he, a successful hotel owner, yet nevertheless a commoner. He could never be accepted by her world, but their hearts say otherwise. I was rooting for them all the way, and enjoying every page of their romance!
Rowan and Isabella’s story is a little strange for the time period and I completely enjoyed it. Well written with interesting characters and an outrageous plot. This story includes some fun bits and steam. Another fine addition to the series from this author.
This instalment covers the twins finding their futures while saving their brother from being blackmailed into marrying someone he does not love. Will Isabella be able to steal the evidence and accept gossip is not her whole life. Will Rowan realise what is in front of him & accept he is worthy of the place his adopted family have gifted him. I found this a really fun witty story. Isabella is quick of mind and saves the situation often, and the steam is also there between her and Rowan. Even the sneezing attacks was charming. Really enjoyed this story.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I love this series, A Gentleman's Guide to Courtship, not only for its ironically-named sub-title, but also for its humor and heart. The Duke of Clearford, creator of the "guide" has pretty much given up on advising potential suitors how to court his sisters. The first three are married, and now it's Isabella's turn. Like the others, she's not particularly interested in marriage--and why would she be when she already has so much freedom?
Rowan Haws is not interested in marriage either, but a potential business deal requires marriage, so he convinces Isabella to play the part of his wife. This ends with predictable results. The way that Isabella can bend the rules of society to pull off this deception is what I find especially surprising.
Lane’s books are always filled with laughs, clever dialogue, and intense sex scenes. Her complex characters always experience transformations. Isabella and Rowan are no exception. Isabella learns she can relinquish the need to control everything because Rowan will be there to keep her safe. Rowan, who had vowed not to marry, takes a bit longer to transform. He needs to see himself as worthy of Isabella and accept the love and acceptance that has been offered to him by his adoptive parents. Then, he needs to face his fears of rejection from the upper classes. Yes, some will reject him, but he doesn’t need their acceptance. Isabella and the very large extended family forming around her will accept him with open arms as soon as he stops hiding. And as long as he has her, he can withstand the disapproval from those who don’t matter.
I love this author and her wild creativity. A story filled with steam, gossip, chemistry, secrets, wit, and more. It just sizzles!
Rowan has an instant attraction to Isabella. She's a lady pretending to be a maid. Rowan is a bachelor who wants to own an inn but who must marry first to have a chance at it.
What starts out as a pretend marriage turns into opportunities of a lifetime. The characters are amazing and outstanding. The story is so engaging that I couldn't put it down. Don't miss this one, you will really regret it.
