Tracy’s review of Two is Twice as Nice by Emily Cale
Cara must have been a very good girl this year, because Santa brought her the ultimate gift: two sexy men.
After a car accident last Christmas, Cara McCourt is left broken inside and out. Since then, no guy has bothered to give her the time of day. Just when she’s convinced that no man will ever be interested in her again, she bumps into Anthony while holiday shopping. Unsure at first, Cara is quickly wooed by the man who thinks she is beautiful—despite her disfigurement.
Uncertain if Anthony is too good to be true, she takes a chance, only to find out he’s been keeping a secret: His twin brother, Devon. Too late, Cara is drawn into their games. Will her wounded soul survive their deceit or did Santa actually bring her the ultimate gift: two men of her own?
Cara is Christmas shopping when she literally runs into Anthony. He asks her out for coffee and she agrees. Though she’s hesitant when he asks her out again she agrees to that as well. They end up starting a relationship and Cara is thrilled. Anthony isn’t bothered by her disfiguring scar at all and thinks she’s beautiful. But one night when she mentions a date they went on to a bar Anthony freaks a bit and leaves. When Anthony introduces his identical twin brother, Devon, and lets Cara know that they both want her – together – Cara’s not sure what to think.
I think the story started off on a good foot but I was a tad appalled at Cara’s easy acceptance of something that happened – of which I can’t tell you without completely giving you a huge spoiler. I do understand that Cara had felt for a year that she would never be happy with a man and now she had two who wanted to be with her but the execution just wasn’t to my liking.
This a pretty short story at 33 pages so we didn’t get a lot of insight into Anthony or Devon at all. The story was in third person but we only saw things from Cara’s point of view. I think I would have liked to have seen the story be a bit longer and get more from the men of the story. Also, this is definitely a HFN story and not an HEA. Maybe we’ll hear more about the threesome in the future.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5
