Thirty-three-year-old Jane Smith's biological clock is ticking. But pickings are slim in Legend, Tennessee, until the fifteen year high school reunion gives Jane a second chance. Graham Winchester will be back in town.
In high school, Jane's shyness has stopped her from taking action. Now she's older, wiser and no longer afraid. Graham has moved to the big city and won't stick around after the reunion. He's a confirmed bachelor and happily-ever-after is not in his makeup. Yet, Jane must exorcise the demon Graham has become so she can get on with her life.
Switching places with her glamorous twin sister is just what she needs to get Mr. Most Likely to Succeed into bed and out of her heart.
Review: I have to admit that this book captured my attention from the first time I read the blurb. I am a fan of contemporary romances and ones that involve meeting up with an old flame and hoping for a second chance are personal favorites. The twin-angle wasn’t appealing because I feel that that particular storyline has been done to death but I’m glad that I didn’t let that stop me from reading Jan Scarbrough’s The Reunion Game.
Jane Smith is at her high school reunion and finally has the chance to see Graham Winchester again. Sparks fly from the get-go and it was their chemistry was undeniable. However, Jane’s identical twin sister, Dawn, is now a famous Hollywood actress to whom she feels inferior to and believes that the only way that she can seduce Graham and find out if their one-night-stand from graduation night was a fluke, is to switch identities with her.
One of the great things about the twin’s switching places story was that Ms. Scarbrough did not overly focus on Dawn; you got a very general idea of who she is, how she acts, but she was not a front and center player in this book. Normally when you have twins and one is more successful or thought to be more attractive, they tend to be mean and take over the story. That is not the case here.
After sharing a steamy kiss at the reunion, the sister’s switch places, but Graham isn’t easily fooled; he knows them both too well and so he goes along with this crazy scheme (unbeknownst to anyone) in hopes of figuring out why Jane would go to such great lengths to be with him.
This novella was a quick read with interesting characters and a story that was believable and not too far fetched. You actually cared about Jane and Graham and felt both of their vulnerabilities. I can’t believe it took me so long to actually get to reading it! After I was done I found out that “The Reunion Game” is actually part of a series, but that really didn’t change how I felt about the story. This book can clearly stand alone and it’s nice when an author can do that for you – create a series but make it possible to pick up any book in it at any time and still enjoy it without being lost.
