| Brim and Stone live in the dark caverns below Rookery Cove, guarding the Heart, or the essence of the Cove. Hatched on the island, they are reaching their hundredth birthday and are concerned that they will not have the necessary woman to help with their Quickening. Charlotte (Charlie) Maguire has had enough! Her father and brothers are chasing away any of the men she might date. She is tired of using her toys! Suddenly, Charlie wins a contest, an all-expenses paid trip to Halifax, a tour of the Rookery Cove factory, and $500.00 in her choice of sex toys. They did not tell her about the fabulous men waiting for her. Make Mine A Double was a fabulous book! I have read and loved all of the Rookery Cove stories, but this was my favorite. Brim and Stone's situation is not explained until the end, but Ms. Bardsley makes the wait fun and exciting. During her tour, Charlie finds a fantasy room and is told that any sexual fantasy she wants there, she can have...and sexual fantasy she has. Charlie might have been tired of using her toys, but I certainly needed one to read this erotic book. WOW!! For the first time in the Rookery Cove series, there is a more complete description of the entire space and more secondary characters than ever before. This story read as a finale, although it might not be. I did not see a single misstep in the plot, which flowed beautifully. I loved the Rookery Cove series and I thank Ms. Bardsley for a story that I adored!
