Is Angelique a gold-digger - or an angel? Jonathan is
determined to find out. When David Carter, a wounded war veteran, is gunned
down in the streets of Washington ,
D.C.
Convinced that the Army nurse David met at the
rehabilitation hospital and recently married is only after the Manhattan
Carters' wealth and power, Jonathan charges into Angie's office at Walter Reed
to deny her the estate...only to find out that David hid his family's origins
from her. The sister-in-law Jonathan had refused to meet for months confounds
his expectations. Frail, beautiful, blonde Angie claims she wants nothing to do
with the notoriety of her husband's prominent family. But Jonathan is
determined to fulfill his twin's last request-to care for his wife-which now
includes an unborn child.
As their two worlds collide, and the media is stirred into a
feeding frenzy, Jonathan's heart is stirred by unexplainable longings for home
and family. But will his twin's lovely widow ever be able to see him-without
seeing his brother? A tender tale of courage, triumph, and lasting love in the
most tragic of circumstances.
HIS BROTHER’S WIFE is the first book I’ve read by Ms. Snead.
The book is simplistic in style, your basic category romance. The story is mostly told, not showing, so as
a reader I didn’t get fully connected with the characters. The story is cute. Jonathan is angry, wanting
to cut his brother’s widow out of the will, and Angie is grieving from the loss
of her husband, shocked to discover he has an identical twin she’d never met,
and rather defensive. One has to keep reading to see what will bring these two
hurting individuals together. Kind of pricey at $14.95 for 160 pages. 3.5
stars.
