Thirty years of betrayal has finally come to an end for twins, Jamieson and Jackson Merrick. Denied their birthright by their father, things have been righted and Jamie is now the Earl of Gladstone. After years of enslavement and crawling his way up to own his own ship, Jamie is ready to take all that is his right, no matter what the consequences. That includes Anne Carstairs, he wants her and won't be denied. Can Jamie's hardened heart let anyone melt the ice that surrounds it?

Anne Carstairs has lived at Gladstone Manor for most of her life. She and her sister have lived there as an unwanted pair of poor relations. The arrival of the new earl is nothing quite like she could have expected. He is reputed to be violent and Anne is terrified that he holds her future in his hands. Drawn to his dark sexiness, she is not sure what is happening to her but she intends to fight it every step of the way...if her heart would just agree.

Double Fantasy is simply delicious. A must read. The characters come to life and draw the reader into the story immediately upon opening the book. Jamie and Anne are sexually charged protagonists that come together with a big bang. The secondary characters are well developed and have a story of their own and all tie in perfectly to make a well-rounded ending. Erotically enchanting with just the right amount of edgy heat, I found I didn't put the book down until I was finished with the last page. I have read all of Ms. Holt's erotic historical romances and Double Fantasy exceeded all my expectations. Ms. Holt's writing sparkles and sizzles with a mixture of charming emotions and pure white hot heat. Romance just doesn't get any better than this.
