Shy Innocent in the Spotlight by Melanie Milburne in the Spotlight is the first delightful installment of The Scandalous 
Campbell Sisters Duet
An exciting twin sister swap story where we meet Elspeth Campbell. She’s the sister who takes a backseat to her veracious bikini model twin. Their mum has huge anxiety about Elspeth’s serious peanut allergy. Deciding to let loose Elspeth agrees to pretend to be her twin as a bridesmaid for a person neither of them really know.
Brother of the groom, the dashing Scot Mack, instantly picks up something is off with Elspeth’s pretense. To be fair it was a huge curveball when it’s revealed what Elspeth’s sister got up to with the groom. Rushing Elspeth away from the fall out Mack and Elspeth visit their attraction and one night only turns into a lovely extended holiday.
Shy Innocent in the Spotlight had a lovely retro feel about it. It reminded me of stories written in the past, where the plot is exciting without too much extra noise around it. The characters were simple without confusing and intense layers that you need a degree to figure out. The side characters were enjoyable, including Elspeth’s twin and I can’t wait to read what adventure she gets up to travel her path to love. If there was anything I’d do differently in this story I’d change the conversation piece during the night in the cabin. I’m not a literary expert but I wasn’t sold on the flow there.
A story filled with beautiful descriptions and exciting drama that brings together two people perfect for each other. Loved Mack and am very much looking forward to A Contract for His Runaway Bride.
