As a reader, I tend to put myself in the position of the characters in a book and try to identify them. However, in this instance it does help to see this story as a romantic farce in order to prevent disappointment. Miss Shylo created a false image of herself and her sister in order to meet her objectives and in so doing, created more problems than any person could keep up with. Dimitri had his own agenda, and thinking that he was pursuing a rich heiress and niece to the President, sets his plans in action. The small party races across America in a bid to find relatives who have much to answer for, and encounter one mishap after the other. There was adventure, heavily laced with dissembling, and a good dose of growing attraction between Shylo and Dimitri, aided by the hand of Dimitri's clumsy uncle. When all the parties eventually meet up, the outcome isn't at all as they expected. I personally find lies and manipulation difficult to handle, and for that reason was a little disappointed in this book. Nevertheless, it is well written and is a standalone novel. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.
