Intrigued story good one but for the second time I felt it needed more incidents, better execution and more deep in the topic. But it captured you. The struggle in Beuar life with his stepmother, dad , and his brother is captivating. Claire appears at first weak ,frightened and shadow twin but when you get to know her she is strong, stubborn and awesome loved.

Clare has had a terrible crush on her twin sister's best friend for such a long time. When her sister asks her to switch places to help him out, she reluctantly agrees. However, the night of the favor, it's his bad boy 1/2 brother who shows up to pick her up.
Bauer has never felt like he was a part of his family. His mother died when he was young and his stepmother never took to him. Once his dad had a baby with the stepmom, he felt like no one wanted him.
Bauer is such a cinnamon roll. His past has scarred him in ways that he does not wish to look at. I loved that even though he gives off the bad boy vibe underneath he is so loving.

I look forward to reading the other other sister's stories.

It's okay.
I'm not a fan of the twin swap troupe but I have to say it doesn't follow the usual troupe in that the Hero of this book knows immediately that the twins have swapped.

The story was sweet. Not huge angst, bit boring at times.
Bit predictable, not difficult to see where the angst at 75% will come in.
No intimate scenes other than the Hero and heroine.

There is mention of their 'relationship' past.

The Hero is a snowboarder so he has a bit of a reputation with women but I felt the book gave mixed signals about that.
It's mentioned by his mentor that he knows he's not as bad as the media say he is.
The Hero tells the heroine, at one point that he hasn't had relationships, we know what that means.
There is a comment he was a bit of a man-whore type in his early successful days but not anymore yet he still only does ONS it seems.
Details are vague and it doesn't feature much.
Both Hero and heroine are described as having a long dry spell.

No cheating.
No flirting.
Other man drama in a sense as the heroine originally had a crush on the Hero's half brother, though nothing happened, she never told him and he didn't notice.

Lots of previous characters scenes from authors other books.
Teaser chapter for next book about the twin sister Lia.

One thing which I found odd was the phrase WWLD was used.
It was a line of its own.
WWLD.
Maybe it's my age but I had to Google it, it means What Would Lia Do.
I just found it really odd in the middle of a passage.
HEA.
Epilogue, 2 months later.
