Here's why:

Who says younger siblings can't kick butt and take names? Jen O'hara was an interesting and fun character to read and follow in this very engaging romance story. She was practical and very determined and not afraid to speak up for the things she wants and needs. She would have to be after having such an impulsive big brother.

Michael is a man who has taken on a mantle of responsibility that he didn't ask for. He also can't turn a blind eye to his friend's sister.

Would I recommend this book? Yes! This one is above the norm when it comes to romance.

A successful businessman called Mac has sworn revenge against me? But I don’t even know him! Olivia is confused as her father warns her over the phone. Threatened by Mac, it seems Olivia’s father has spread bad rumors about the young man in order to take his clients. It all sounds silly until Mac shows up at Olivia’s wife-for-hire company requesting her services. Mac, with his sexy smile, turns out to be the very embodiment of seduction. With all my experience in reading romance novels, I’m not that easy to manipulate. Not to worry, I despise ambitious financiers.

Mac might want revenge, but Olivia is out to prove to him that there are better things in life than holding a grudge.

Would I recommend this book? Yes because I like sweetness every once in a while.

Rating: 4 stars

Here's why:

I love twin stories and this one had a little bit of twist. You have a set of identical twins with very, and I do mean, VERY different personalities.

I really like Natasha for being so grounded and so caring. I didn't like her selfish twin Natalia at all. Chase was a very likeable, if sometimes, aggravating man. But I can't blame him, especially after he discovers the truth.

Would I recommend this book? Yes, because sometimes I like sweet and nice.
