The Accidental Duchess
Dear Reader, I married the wrong man. I had every intention of doing the thing right. Of saying my vows and walking out on the arm of Bertie Milburn. Nice, safe, easygoing Bertie. And that is precisely what I thought I had done. But as it turned out, I'd been tricked! Tricked into marrying Bertie's twin brother Harry, the Earl of Cambourne and (as my mother would insist on reminding me at every opportunity) future Duke of Winfell! And the shocking way in which I found out -- on my wedding night, no less...well, it doesn't bear repeating here! And the truth is that Harry, who is my husband, but should not be, makes my hands shake and my heart pound in a way that Bertie never has and never will. Vexing, dangerously charming Harry, who won't tell me why he had to marry me, why he insists on masquerading about town as his brother, or most bothersome still, why he won't stop that annoying (and rather excitingly successful) habit of trying to seduce me! What is a young lady to do? Gwen

2.5⭐?
Hmmm, there are two things that stand out in my mind that makes me love reading historical romance more than almost any other genre, it is the fact that we almost always see both the hero and the heroine perspectives, and that it has a certain feel to it if the writing is good. A feel of going back in time and seeing how things happened more than 200 years ago. (At least the Regency era is my favorite).
Now, this book felt very American, very modern. An aristocratic stands out not only because of their place in society but because of his/her education, how well they move, speak and so on. I can't believe that a lady would say ain't and gel in every other sentence. Sometimes I felt like the heroine was talking with a cowboy instead of her father. It was very weird.
The plot could have been super nice, were it from two perspectives, but as it was, it was just plain silly. The writer tried to be funny but it didn't stick.
The heroine simply got married with the wrong twin. Everybody in her family knew it except her and nobody wanted to tell her anything. Not even her husband. You just discover what really happened by the end, and it could have been great, but the way it was presented was just silly.
So, I would not recommend this book unless you want a silly and light story with not a lot of significance.

4.5 stars This book was such a fun read. If you're not willing to suspend a fair amount of disbelief, this might not be your book, but for those willing to roll with the story setup, the writing is sharp and hilarious.
Told in the first person by Gwnedolyn, we learn that she has been betrothed to easygoing Bertie Milburn and when she shows up at her wedding, she figures that's who she is marrying. It is only after the wedding that she learns she has instead married his brother Cambourne, the older of the twins and a future duke. To make things even crazier, Cambourne has to impersonate his brother for a time for reasons that everyone except Gwen already knows. She's not terribly thrilled about this development, and it takes her some time to realize that she wasn't so much in love in Bertie, but rather had a firm idea of what her future would hold and is having difficulty coping with that rug being pulled out from under her.
For his part, Cambourne is the voice of reason in this book. When you meet Gwen's family, you'll understand that such a voice has been sorely needed. The repartee between Gwen and Cambourne is wonderful and even if Gwen is a little scattered sometimes, being inside her head is laugh out loud funny quite a bit of the time.
This book features quite a lot more talking and more muted love scenes than the average non-inspy historical that I've read. Since I liked listening the characters, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I only wish Jessica Benson was still writing, but when I check online, she seems to have vanished.

June 22, 2017This book sparkles with humor and witty banter. The hilarity begins when Gwen discovers on her wedding night that she’s accidentally married her fiancé’s identical twin brother. Things get even more complicated when her new husband—who also happens to be royal—insists on continuing to impersonate his brother, but won’t tell her why. The fact that she’s wildly attracted to him doesn’t help. —Teri Wilson (https://www.bookish.com/articles/hidd...)

Gwen realizes soon after the ceremony that she married the wrong brother and spends the book trying to find out why her parents and her groom plotted this.
What I enjoyed:
* The last third picks up as we finally get some answers and
What could have been better:
* I was as frustrated as Gwen when no one would give her a straight answer, in fact it led to me putting the book aside for several days
* The first half of the book was SLOW
* I want to know if poor Cecy ever solved the problem of her mother

Eh, more of a 3.5.. I liked the angst, but really, all it would've taken was a simple, adult conversation to avoid about 90% of the shenanigans.

am not fond of first person narrative but Benson has such wit that it overcomes such difficulty. the plot was nearly a chinese puzzle mated to a game of Clue. That the affair was not consummated until the last page, literally, was unsatisfactory. Benson's tongue in cheek writing though overcomes mostly any problems encountered. It was a dizzying plot with one twin playing two people, and the complicated secrets were somewhat far fetched. ok it was impossible to put down.

The Accidental Duchess--R
Violence-No
Language-fewer than 10 swears
Sex-Yep
I LOVE this book. I wanted to read it again as soon as I finished it. I think the Hero is smolderingly sexy and the heroine is faithful and loyal. The misunderstanding is a BIGGIE. I've got a paper copy (I got the referral online a few years ago) and can't wait to reading it again. Jessica Benson's got skills, y'all!!

I would have appreciated this book I think better not in the first person POV - Gwen's head is an annoying place to be at times. But the romance is fun and some of the hijinks made me laugh out loud so a decent regency read for sure.

I read it years ago but don't remember much except consummation of the marriage took until the last few pages and was meh. Maybe I'll read it again and it will be better 2nd time around.

I’m a little embarrassed to admit reading this book, but I figured there may be someone else out there wondering if they should read this and maybe my review will help.
First, I actually really loved this book. I loved the story and characters. I don’t think I’ve read a book where the heroine married the wrong guy (identical twin brothers). While it’s hard to believe this could happen, it actually makes sense in this book. The book is told entirely in the first person, from Gwen’s perspective. I really liked Gwen, I liked that she didn’t just accept what happened, but really wanted to find out the reasons why. I was a little surprised that no one else seemed upset about it and even encouraged her to just accept it and be happy. While I would be upset, I do think she ended up with the better guy. In fact, I found Cambourne to be quite charming and thought he had amazing chemistry with Gwen. You could tell right from the start that he was crazy about her, and had been for a long time. I loved that he was patient with her, even though it was very frustrating that he wasn’t being honest with her. They have quite a bit of tension and again great chemistry. I really enjoyed their story. The reasoning behind not telling Gwen was a little weak, but since the book was so fun that didn’t bother me.
What did bother me was the fact that this ended up being not clean at all. It was actually pretty racy and a lot more detailed than I would prefer or normally read. I think I kept with it because I just loved the characters so much and it was a really fun read. Not only are some of their scenes together rather steamy, but the whole book ended up being about whether they would consummate their marriage. I would have liked a little more depth to the story, instead of so much focus on “marital relations”. It gets docked two stars for not being clean, and I docked another star because I hated the insinuations Gwen made about her mother at the end of the book. Not only were they completely unnecessary to the story, it was just plain dumb.
Content: R, Not clean. Lots of passionate kissing and lots of wondering hands. As the story progresses their interactions get a lot more detailed and steamy. They are interrupted throughout the book, multiple times, but finally seal the deal at the very end. There is quite a bit of language (the D word a couple times, but mostly taking the Lords name in vain). Unfortunately, NOT a clean read.

Yes, Virginia, there is such as thing as Historical Romance Chick-Lit. The book cover should have been a giveaway but, like the heroine of the story, I missed the obvious clue and found myself in very unfamiliar territory.
Gwen has resigned herself to marrying the younger of the identical twins whose stately home neighbours her own, and with whom she's been friends since childhood. It's not until her wedding night that she discovers she is now wed to the older of the twins, who for some inexplicable reason is masquerading as his younger brother. Not being a love match to start with, and the older brother owning the family title, the switch shouldn't have made much difference, particularly as she finds herself unexpectedly attracted to Cambourne, the older brother. Her confusion turns to anger when she realises that her parents are not only aware of the switch, but approve of it.
Gwen, the first-person narrator of the story, puts an immediate stop to any further marital shenanigans and demands to know what's happening. Her husband refuses to explain, and Gwen is forced to consult with her BFFs.
Up to this point in the story, the typical chick-lit recipe of rapid-fire quips coming from a cast of colorful characters amuses and entertains. However, as Gwen begins to make less and less progress in the mystery of the switched brothers, the story begins to stall, and when the real younger brother shows up with a French nymphomaniac Barbie-doll wife in tow, it spirals out of control, eventually crashing to the ground when the two brothers agree, most improbably, to persist in the switch. Flames leap from the wreckage when the two brothers agree to slowly morph their disguises back into their original characters.
The happy ending fails to extinguish the smouldering wreckage. At the end of the story I felt like someone who has just heard a rather pointless joke and is waiting for a punchline that never comes. Awkward.
Gwen may be in a dizzy tangle about what's going on around her, but that's no excuse for the author to leave the reader in the same tangle. Probably, had I the time and patience, re-reading the last two chapters of the book would have uncovered a few more convincing and realistic pointers as to how the masquerade is supposed to play out in the future, but I'm already well into my next Goodreads recommendation and enjoying it too much to revisit old ground.

Gwen has known from childhood that one day she will marry Bertie, Lord Milburn. So it comes as rather a shock when, while being seduced by her new husband on her wedding night, she finds she actually married his twin brother, Harry, Earl of Cambourne. She is futher outraged to learn that he knew the truth, her parents knew the truth and the real Bertie is missing, fate and location unknown.
Determinded not to let 'things' go any further until she knows where Bertie is and why she has been lied to, Gwen stops Cambourne in his tracks. When he refuses to explain, she sets out trying to discover the truth and avoid falling in love with the husband that affects her in a way Bertie never has.
All in all, this is pretty standard romance fare, although it has the addition of being told by Gwen, who is a fun narrator. Everything is here; identical twins, masquerades, a fiesty heroine (or at least, one who discovers she has it in herself to be so), mistresses and even the shadow of Napoleon. I don't think Benson does anything startlingly new here, but she tells a fun tale that if enjoyable to follow.
I liked Gwen and I liked Harry and I certainly wanted them to work things out. I did occasionally want to yell at them that all they needed to do was talk to each other, but I had enough fun along the way not to be too annoyed. The ending is great as the twins try to outdo each other in putting the other on the spot and Gwen takes control of matters. My biggest complaint is probably that things between Gwen's friend Cecy and Cecy's husband are never resolved, nor is the issue of Cecy's mother and the footman. It was made a significant portion of the story and seemed to be abandoned at the last minute as Gwen and Harry's HEA took over centre stage. I realise that's where the book needed to end, but couldn't we have sorted Cecy out first then?
A fun, light read that I recommend, not as something that will blow the reader's mind, but as an enjoyable way to spend an evening or two.

The premise: Gwendolyn has been betrothed to Bertie since she was weeks old. Imagine her surprise when, on her wedding night, she discovers that she did not wed carefree, dandyish Bertie, but his serious twin brother, Harry.
Miscellaneous notes: This book is written in first person, from Gwendolyn's point of view. While this POV can be tedious and even pretentious, I found it quite charming. Ms. Benson has a unique way with humour that can easily be missed if you are not paying quite enough attention. Her characters have serious attitude and are not just cookie cutter Lords and Ladies. The dialogue had me laughing out loud, even when I was aching inside for poor Harry and Gwen's awful situation.
The thing that put me off, though, was The Secret. Why did Harry marry Gwen instead of Bertie? And why does her family all know that Harry is pretending to be Bertie, but no one will tell her? It's a great mystery. One that usurped far too much of my time as I just had to read to the end. But, in the end, The Secret really wasn't all that mysterious. I kept waiting for the real reason to be presented.
And the other thing that really bothered me was the casual use of adultery. Everyone and their in-laws were schtuping someone other than their respective spouses. That goes right against my value system, and therefore made me a bit nauseated.

I actually really liked this. I surprise myself. Of course I prefer not to read the sexual ins and outs of things so to speak but I enjoyed the plot tremendously. The creativity and development of characters was unique and very well done. The sexually descriptive was probably only the last 1/3 of the book and not so much graphic as a caress here and there. I loved the plot. What to do when you think you're saving someone and they turn around a try to steal your title etc? Who is really married to whom? Does it matter who got married first? What if your twin marries someone without your knowledge and signs your name to the marriage documents? What if you get conflicting helpful information from your friends? Who is the traitor? Who is blackmailing whom? Why are parents involved in all this scandal? Does it pay to have two brothers and yourself grow up next to two brothers who influence your life forever? I laughed out loud many times reading this. I guess I like a little mystery with my romance. I could have used a little more depth in the final couple of chapters. What happens after the dinner? Does Milburn come clean? What happened to the money? Why does Almeria have so much information? Why exactly are violetta and almeria so close? I loved the dialogue but could have used even more. I guess I'm used to Heyer.

Seemed like a good premise...Gwen discovers a little too late that the man she said "I do" to is not the man she was expecting, but instead, his twin brother AND future duke. I was looking forward to this one, and liked how it jumped right into the story, starting with the wedding night. Unfortunately, it proceeded to keep jumping backwards to fill me in with flashbacks, which, after the first two or three, I began to find increasingly confusing, frustrating and annoying. I think at one point, there was even a flashback within a flashback. Not only that, but there were some characters that didn't feel developed/explained enough, so when their name was mentioned, I would just think "who are they, again?" (and honestly, perhaps that one was my own fault...I might have been reading too quickly to catch more details about them).
Even though I would like to know why the twins switched places, I'm not curious enough to keep reading. Sorry. And besides, from what little I know of Bernie, he sounds REALLY annoying and totally unlikeable, so stop bitching and whining, Gwen...you obviously got the better man!

At first, I really did not like this book. I was bored with the beginning and just annoyed with all of the characters. I didn't feel there was much of a reason to continue keeping Gwen in the dark about things and Gwen annoyed me with her whining about finding herself married to Harry. After awhile, the book settled down into a an amusing and cute story. I wish I knew a little bit more about the characters though. Gwen was supposed to be clumsy, but I didn't see her as very clumsy. The book was told in first person, so that may have altered the way the characters were presented. The fact that this book was written in first person is fairly unusual for historical romance -- I can't remember reading another book in this format and I have read lots of historical romance. It was different and took a little bit of getting used to it. I found that I did miss knowing and seeing things from Harry's point of view and wished that I knew him a little bit better.

Again with the half stars. 4.5.
This book was REALLY REALLY CUTE. A little frustrating at points. But... I dunno. Okay, so when you read historical romance novels (I like Britain, 1800-1825ish), there are a lot of cookie-cutter stories. Like maybe 6 of them, over and over and over. But this one was different. I've yet to read an identical-twins-switching-places that wasn't modern and about 8- to 16-year-olds, you know what I mean? So that was INTRIGUING. But it was so cute. I quite enjoyed it. Plus, they'd known each other all their lives, which just gets me every time, no many how many "cookies" I have... :)

At first I wasn't that into this book, but once I got through the first chapter or so I didn't put it down until I had finished it. I very much enjoyed this book even though it was a little frustrating at points. I enjoyed the way the author allowed Gwen to become her own woman. It was a very good light read.
August 6, 2016
A disappointment. The heroine is immature - juvenile really - self-centered and not too bright, often TSTL, but she does anyway, more's the pity. The hero of whom we were shown brief glimpses in previous books in this series seemed to be an interesting character. Turn out he's not. A bit tiresome really, although Hunter does tie up all the knots. Too bad that wasn't enough.
May 7, 2009
This was an interesting light read. The main character marries the wrong brother. It's a bit confusing and silly at times. There are some books you don't want to end. This was not one of them. I just wanted some resolution. I felt that the book could have been half as long.
November 2, 2012
I had trouble remembering this was supposed to be a regency romance. I think I ended up picturing the characters in modern day clothes. Also, I thought the ending was really weak, but Jessica Benson does a good job writing likable and engaging characters who save the story.
November 10, 2010
Great book, almost gave it a 5 star, but the ending left something to be desired, almost like she ran out of time to finish it properly. An absolute gem up to the last chapter, though.

I liked her friends and would have much rather read a story about them. She was a feather - brain and didn't get interesting till the fifth of the book.
